Paste magazine

Paste magazine, recent winner at the Plug awards of Best Magazine has a few interesting features to read.

First up, a review of a recent Sufjan Stevens show


and a great article on one of my favourite bands, The Shins:

"It’s 5:38 a.m. in Portland, Ore., and I’m staring into the abyss. I’m lying on my back, eyes wide open, in my bed at the Hotel Lucia. Pretty soon the sounds of a city waking up will penetrate these thin walls and the light of day will filter in through the insufficient blinds until all hope of a restful night’s sleep has vanished."

And if you don't listen to their podcast, why not? It's the best portable radio show around. Get it here.
