Chris.Weekly.org - A Web Space

I have to go out of my way here to plug my all-time favorite magazine, Paste (”Signs of Life in Music, Film and Culture”). Every issue comes with a full CD of eclectic but excellent indie music, outstanding writing, cultural insight, reliable reviews of books, film, bands, events and even video games. These guys are neck-deep in the vibrant community of amazing artists who mostly go unnoticed by the increasingly vapid commercial mainstream. I discovered Bon Iver, The National, Beirut and countless other phenomenal artists from this magazine. There’s so much worthless noise in our lives, so finding a strong, clear signal like this is refreshing and affirming. The website is a great companion to the print version too.
