Album Review: Art Brut – Art Brut Vs. Satan
I don’t know if I missed the election on which band humanity would be sending to take on the dark one, but I don’t think I’d have voted to send Art Brut to take on the big evil guy. Eddie Argos may be a smarmy, charming bastard, but not exactly the kind of death-bringer you’d want to fight Satan. But, luckily, if you ignore the album title for a while, you don’t have to worry about the future of mankind.

After more than a few line-up changes and hiatuses, The Breeders managed to come back last year [...]
The Thermals heat up the Black Cat (5/13)
For most DC citizens, specifically fans of Ice Hockey, Wednesday night was one of hope for DC’s continually short falling sports teams. The Washington Capitals, favored to win the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against their rival Pittsburgh Penguins, had fallen behind in the series and somehow sneaked into the series deciding game [...]
Don’t let Paste go to waste!

But of course, being the awesome magazine that is, Paste is offering an incentive, beyond its continued publishing, for those who contribute. Donors are being promised access to [...]

Album Review: Manchester Orchestra – Mean Everything To Nothing
Mean Everything To Nothing, Manchester Orchestra’s sophomore effort, is the album that will be remembered for launching Manchester Orchestra into the mainstream. The band’s past album, I’m Like A Virgin Losing A Child, focuses on teenage angst, with Andy Hull’s narratives acting as the driving force. On Mean Everything To Nothing, the angst is retained [...]
