Top Ten Father/Daughter Songs

By Kate Kiefer on 7:00 AM on August 13, 2009

Last week, you guys helped me narrow down my first-dance song choices (haven’t made a decision yet, but we love all the suggestions). This week, I present my father/daughter song picks. Every time I turn on the radio I hear another cheesy country song that would work—Tim McGraw 's “My Little Girl”, Trace Adkins' “Then They Do,” Gary Allan's “Tough Little Boys,” Heartland's “I Loved Her First,” you name it. But I inherited my love for country-pop from my mom and not my dad, so the twang isn't gonna fly. Here are my top ten—you can listen below. Too sappy?...  read more

Classic Paste: The Best of Issues 11-15 (Aug. 2004 - May 2005)

By Steve LaBate on 7:00 AM on May 22, 2009

(JUST A FEW MORE REASONS TO HELP SAVE PASTE)In less than two weeks, I'll celebrate my 6th anniversary at this magazine. When I started as Paste's second-ever intern on June 1, 2003, we were still a tiny operation.

Other important folks—like senior/film editor and future Paste president Tim Porter, design director José Reyes, and future associate publisher Joe Kirk—were working part-time, since Paste couldn't yet support a full staff. Back then, we were...  read more

Six Albums to Get Excited About in 2009

By Austin L. Ray on 7:00 AM on January 17, 2009

When I wrote my Five Movies to Get Excited About in 2009 list a couple weeks ago, ostensibly, I was providing a reader service. But really, I was getting as pumped up about those movies as anyone reading that post. In fact, I'm listening to Ready to Die right now, looking forward to taking in a showing of Notorious this weekend. Looking forward to stuff is fun, and it makes actually experiencing said stuff just that much more awesome (or, alternately, disappointing).Editing the news section of PasteMagazine.com also gets me hyped about forthcoming albums on a daily basis. From big...  read more

By Jeremy Medina on 11:18 AM on January 14, 2009

Legendary singer/songwriter Loretta Lynn, now 74 years old, hasn't released an album since 2004's Grammy-winning, critically-adored Van Lear Rose—a collaboration with Jack White. But 2009 is turning out to be especially fruitful for her, with two albums planned for release by the summer, in an ode to her prolific days in the '60s and '70s....  read more
