Paste mPlayer Issue 5 Is Live!

That this issue of the Paste mPlayer came out on time is something of a minor miracle. Yesterday, while several of the staff were playing catch-up, we decided to finally open up a Paste room at Turntable.fm, and got more than a little distracted. It seems like in a matter of weeks, three more music streaming/discovery/social gatherings have come on strong: Spotify, Rexly and Turntable. The original music-streaming service, though, was Dial-A-Song, an ever-changing series of demos and outtakes that They Might Be Giants recorded to the duo’s answering machine. TMBG graces this week’s mPlayer, which also includes features on Wye Oak, Marianne Faithfull and an essay on Paul McCartney. Check it out here.
