monkey writer bio

*** from One Million Monkeys Typing: PASTE magazine was so good as to write an article about our site in their July 2008 publication, we have allowed them the opportunity to plant a tree for their readership and ours to collaborate on. Please read and contribute to 'Purple Monkey Dishwasher'-- and of course also purchase a Paste Magazine. THANK YOU !!! ***

PASTE is one of the fastest-growing independently published entertainment magazines in the country, receiving 'Magazine of the Year' honors at the 2007 and 2006 PLUG Independent Music Awards. We pride ourselves in being the premier magazine for people who still enjoy discovering new music, prize substance and songcraft over fads and manufactured attitude, and appreciate quality music across a broad stylistic spectrum--indie rock, Triple-A, Americana, folk, blues, jazz, etc.

We strive to bring readers thoughtful analysis on the best in film, books and other aspects of popular (and alternative) culture. PLUS, every issue of PASTE contains a FREE sampler CD (packed with 20+ songs). The Paste Sampler CD is an invitation-only CD we treat as a glorified office mix-tape, not something to listen to once and rip the two or three good songs. What more could you want? (OK, maybe a free subscription. We'll try to get it bundled in with universal health care, how's that?)

Now in our fifth year, we've grown quickly with international distribution in over 12 countries. PASTE is available on newsstands all over the U.S. and Canada - including:
Borders
Barnes & Noble
Books-a-Million
Hastings
Joe Muggs
B. Dalton
Albertsons
and independent newsstands and music stores everywhere with more being added all the time. If you don't find us at your favorite store, ask. They are probably sold-out. You can always order from our online store.

We're also available in select stores in Europe including the UK, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, France, Poland and more.
