Paste. Great tunes, dumb name. A bi-monthly US based magazine which, to quote Nick Lowe, is "mature music for mature people." The lengthy CDs, 20+ tracks, highlight known, sort of known, and unknown artists. Country-rock, jazz-pop, country-blues and other hybrids, along with traditional genres, make the Paste world go around. Every CD has 3 and up to 6 songs that make me swoon., i.e. my new favorite, Sondre Lerche, a clever Norwegian dude making smart pop-rock music. Paste, the magazine, has some unique recurring features. My favorite is the column that analyzes the lyrics to a song. Other good stuff: World Cinema movie reviews, small-press book reviews, and did I mention a 23-track CD? All for under NT$400.
