When I started as Paste's second-ever intern on June 1, 2003, we were still a tiny operation. Only five of us were in the office full-time: publisher Nick Purdy, editor Josh Jackson, assistant editor Jason Killingsworth, myself (who would go on to become associate editor) and my intern cohort, Steven Bevilaqua. 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 in our...  read more

Carl "A.C." Newman found Guilty of new LP

A.C. Newman doesn't have any novel erotica for the masses just yet, but he's more than willing to serve up a guilty verdict on his own complicity in the erosion of Puritanical values. Specifically, Get Guilty, the second solo offering from the New Pornographer's leading man....  read more

New Pornographers cite "personal reasons" for canceled tour

Sasquatch 2008: Day 1

Welcome to The Gorge, y'all. Sasquatch 2008 is here and it's overwhelming. So, in an effort to trim it down to something semi-manageable, I'm going to be posting photos and blurbs of my experience in Washington this Memorial Day Weekend. Enjoy... Kathleen Edwards rocked with an immaculate band, spitting bile at the sun, particularly on set closer "The Cheapest Key." Edwards sang "B is for bullshit and you fed me some," but I'd argue that "B" is actually for "badass." She is just that....  read more
