You may have already seen some stories online discussing this but Paste Magazine is reaching out to its readers to help save the magazine. With a minimal donation, you get access to over 100 downloads from various bands supporting the magazine and you're also eligible to win a bunch of prizes. Here's just some of the prizes:

Collection of cool indie-rock concert posters from artist Clinton Reno including Neko Case, Franz Ferdinand, Over the Rhine, The Decemberists, The Gutter Twins, Rilo Kiley, Death Cab for Cutie, and Nada Surf. (Note: these are not signed by the musicians.)

More to come!

I donated last week and got an email from them last night with an update.....the good news is that they've raised $148,000 (pretty amazing), but they're still short of their goal of $300,000. HERE'S more information on the campaign, take a look and see if it's something you'd be interested in supporting.
