Paste is a monthly music and entertainment magazine published in the United States by Paste Media Group LLC. Its tagline is "Signs of Life in Music, Film and Culture."
History
The magazine, headquartered in Decatur, Georgia, was founded as a quarterly in July 2002 by Josh Jackson, Nick Purdy and Tim Porter. It switched to a bimonthly format amid increased popularity and the addition of Joe Kirk to the managing team, and continued to grow in 2005 when Paste fulfilled remaining subscriptions for competing magazine Tracks, which had ceased publication of its print edition. Paste became a monthly with its August 2006 issue.
Content
Although Paste's focus is music, covering a variety of genres with an emphasis on adult album alternative, Americana and indie rock, the magazine also covers independent film. Each issue includes a CD music sampler. Featured artists have included Coldplay, Aimee Mann, Blackalicious, Arcade Fire, Paul McCartney, Norah Jones, R.E.M., Elvis Costello, Death Cab for Cutie, Van Morrison, Fiona Apple, The Ramones, The Decemberists, Mark Heard, Johnny Cash, Woven Hand and The Postal Service.
Awards
In 2005, Paste was listed at #21 on The Chicago Tribune's list of "50 Best Magazines". Paste was also named "Magazine of the Year" by the PLUG Independent Music Awards in both 2006 and 2007.
