There's a lot of bad stuff in the world today. Let's face it, times are hard. And getting harder for a lot of people. And that puts aside all of the other things seeking our attention. On an on-going basis, it's important for everyone to pitch in in their own way, and according to their means, to make the world a better place.
I like to think that everyone does what they can.
This ISN'T about that, though.
This is about a little thing that you can do on a quiet Saturday morning to put some tunes in your head and your money where your interests are.
See, Paste Magazine is having a short term crisis. A cash crunch. And they're turning to their readers to get them over the hump. They're accepting donations via PayPal or credit card.
So you're asking, maybe, why should I donate to save, of all things, a magazine? If you have to ask, clearly you don't know Paste: it's probably one of the best magazines on the market, with some of the finest writing on music and pop culture that you'll find. Paste digs deep, and the results are right there on the page.
Also, Paste is dangerous. I don't think I've ever read a single issue where I didn't end up buying 4 or 5 new CDs from their recommendations, or from the free sampler CD that comes with each volume.
So, yeah, please donate a little bit, because Paste is worth it.
And if not for altruism, donate for strictly selfish reasons — your donation gets you access to more than 65 donated rare and previously unissued songs, with more being added even as we speak. Send this magazine ten bucks and you both reap the benefits.
Okay, that's all I'm gonna say. I've got new music to listen to…
