20 Fantastic "Live from Paste" Videos

By Josh Jackson on 7:00 AM on September 22, 2009

As a parent, I know I'm not supposed to have favorites. And all of the hundreds of "Live From Paste" videos are our babies. One of the best parts about working at Paste is the frequency of fantastic artists who stop by the studio in our offices at East Decatur Station when their tours take them through Atlanta. But our multimedia producer Kevin Keller and I have a particular fondness for a number of these performances, and we each chose 10 of our favorites to share with you. Some of these artists you'll know, but hopefully you'll discover some stellar...  read more

But 40 years ago today, Apollo 11 landed on the moon, making good on the presidential promise. The Russians may have their Sputnik and their Yuri Gagarin, but it's the American flag that protrudes from the moon's surface, providing a source of pride for all (well, most) Americans. In celebration, then, this playlist:...  read more

Current Events: Ain't No Fortunate Son - Songs for Veterans, pt. 1

By Steve LaBate on 12:15 PM on November 13, 2008

Above: "Funeral for a Soldier" by Scott H. Spitzer for USAF (DOD 030403-F-1166S-001, public domain) Tuesday was Veteran’s Day. Newly restored aircraft carrier the USS Intrepid—a ship that saw extensive combat in the Pacific during World War II—was rededicated as a museum in New York at Pier 86 on the Hudson River. In America, and in many countries around the world (where the holiday is known as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day), people took time to remember those who have served in their nation’s military, especially those who lost their lives. The holiday is held on Nov. 11, commemorating the...  read more

Josh Ritter tours this spring, haunts our sleep

By Nikki King on 4:57 PM on March 26, 2008

Josh Ritter is going on tour; ah, the stuff that dreams are made of. Last time he went on a little jaunt, Ritter let us read his diary. We didn’t even have to go sneaking into his hotel room, digging under mattresses to find it. Dawn Landes is currently supporting his dates in the Netherlands and United Kingdom. Ritter will then return to the U.S. and join forces with Hilary Hahn. A Grammy-winning violinist, Hahn was the soloist in the score for The Village, among many other ventures. Langhorne Slim and Ingrid Michaelson will also be stopping in for a...  read more
