Paste readers care, they really care

The music magazine Paste was on its uppers two months ago and appealed to its readers for donations, lest it be necessary for it to close. Well, some 10,000 donations (!) later, it has raised $250,000. Editor-in-chief Josh Jackson says the campaign will wrap up this month. Donors receive exclusive tracks from artists including the Indigo Girls, Josh Rouse, Matthew Sweet and The Decemberists. Paste has a paid circulation of about 250,000.
