The '60s & '70s Bands Rock Critics & Musicians Always Namecheck But That No One Else Really Ever Listens To 2009 Paste International Spelling Bee

By Steve LaBate on 4:30 AM on September 4, 2009

Hello everyone, and welcome [applause]. Please be seated. On behalf of Paste, I'd like to thank all of you in the audience, and—of course—our six contestants, for attending the finals of this year's '60s & '70s Bands That Rock Critics and Musicians Always Namecheck But That No One Else Ever Really Listens To Paste International Spelling Bee. First, I'd like to clarify that a band's inclusion on this list does not mean we think people shouldn't listen to the band in question. In fact, in most cases, we feel many more people should listen to these bands. Nor do we...  read more

Tales of the Coffin Nail: 27 Smoking Songs That'll leave you Breathless

By Steve LaBate on 4:30 AM on June 12, 2009

Aside from that one weekend on the eve of 7th grade, when my parents left me with my older sister, I’ve never been a smoker. When I actually inhaled, it always tore my throat up so bad I couldn’t even finish a whole cigarette. Still, that weekend, a random, inconsequential moment occurred that I still—for some strange reason—remember in astonishing detail.  It was the night before the first day of school—late August 1991 in the Atlanta suburbs—and an intense thunderstorm had just rolled through. My sister was already asleep in her basement apartment, so I took my boombox down to...  read more

New York Dolls launch winter tour

By Mark Krotov on 12:00 AM on January 8, 2008

The following news item does not contain a single reference to Iowa, New Hampshire or presidential candidates, thereby making it a rarified slice of writing that avoids any discussion of town halls, electability or metaphorical horse races. Paste hopes that you appreciate this interruption. And what a fitting interruption it is, since, after all, what could possibly be farther from the real-world sobriety of exit polls and undecided voters than the New York Dolls? The Dolls want to put the "fun" back in "election year," so the boys have decided to launch a late-winter tour to promote their 2006 release,...  read more
