20 Fantastic "Live from Paste" Videos
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

[Above: White Rabbits]MugisonHometown: Ísafjörður, Iceland Album: Mugiboogie Why He's Worth Watching: Mugison likely embodies the person Led Zeppelin envisioned when writing “Immigrant Song.” One moment, this man from the land of the ice and snow is sounding the hammer of the gods, alternating between an infernal howl (much like Robert Plant’s) and a guttural heavy-metal groan, the next, he’s crooning to twanging guitar over eerie strings. He’s a shape-shifter and a funnyman, and Mugiboogie builds on his four previous genre-transcending works.

Found in: Music, FeaturesTriple A "Non-Commvention"
There’s a little corner of the radio world called “triple A” music - it covers a lot of the stuff we at Paste like. On the radio dial, that world is usually on public or non-commercial stations - often NPR-affiliated. So these radio stations gather once a year to hear new music and discuss what's going on in the industry and sometimes we join them to eavesdrop on their annual “Non-Commvention” hosted by our friends at WXPN 88.5 in Philadelphia. It's a great chance to check out the bands showcasing for all these program directors. ... read more

Wild Sweet Orange. It sounds like something you would find growing next to the road as you drive through the Florida country side. But the guys that comprise this band are from Birmingham, Ala., and their sound is a far cry from the campy island tunes that saturate Floridian coastline hotels. On Tuesday, the soft and insightful indie-rock group released its EP, The Whale. The band is signed to Canvasback Music, the same label that has brought us Manchester Orchestra, Annuals and Swell Season. The band kicked off its tour yesterday. Dates: November 7 - Portland, Ore. @ Roseland Grill*... read more
