I received my October issue of Paste Magazine this afternoon. PM is one of my favorite offline publications. They do a great job of covering the indie scene without selling out. The issue features Okkervil River’s Will Sheff, Old Crow Medicine Show, Damien Jurado, Wayne Coyne and many others.

Each issue includes a CD sampler with at least 20 handpicked new songs. The magazine is worth purchasing for the sampler alone. I picked out several standout tracks from Andrew Bird, Kensington Prairie and S.M.V.
