You may notice on my sidebar the Paste banner that advertises the magazine's campaign for donations to keep the magazine afloat. In return for a donation, you will get access to 70+ rare & exclusive tracks. Check out the full details of the campaign here. With the recent demise of the print edition of Magnet I was actually leaning towards a subscription to Paste. I'd really like to see Paste stick around.
