Music: Help Paste Magazine stave off advertising cuts or they’ll get deleted

  • Sigh, magazines are feeling it too. Paste, which is probably one of the best music magazines out there (even if it does dig deep into that mushy adult-pop-indie), is begging for your help to stay afloat. Seriously. They have a donation page and everything. Plus, Paste is awesome. Why would we want this magazine to die? Sigh. Throw in $25 bones and help pay for someone’s freelance piece. You’ll feel better for it, trust us. source
