Gawker.com is reporting that Paste Magazine has folded, and will be no more. Not a huge surprise, given their struggles over the past couple of years to stay afloat.
Gawker sites an inside source and several tweets from Paste employees stating they are unexpectedly out of work.
Paste is a Decatur, Georgia-based music and entertainment magazine started in 2002

Warren Ullom, lead singer of Atlanta’s The Judies, was handed a 20-year sentence today for voluntary manslaughter. The sentence comes just over two years after 32 year-old Rachel San Inocencio died from a drug overdose while with Ullom at his apartment. Read the whole story on the AJC.
Atlanta rockers Death On Two Wheels just announced that they have a couple of tracks in the soundtrack for a film called “The Violent Kind”, currently showing at Sundance. Calling Us All Back Home and Two Dollar Bills are from their current release SEPARATION OF CHURCH & FATE on The Ghost Umbrella Records. That’s some great news from one of Atlanta’s best bands- and equally great news for everyone else:
To celebrate the release of The Violent Kind, DO2W is offering both songs for FREE at http://deathontwowheels.bandcamp.com. As well, for a limited time, Separation Of Church & Fate is available for only $5.
That’s two for free, and the whole kit for just $5! 
As for the film, it’s a slasher from a duo that call themselves “The Butcher Brothers”, and are responsible for the likes of April Fool’s Day, and The Hamiltons. So, chances are I won’t be seeing the film- but I hope critics at Sundance love it, and it brings DOTW to a larger audience!
Spotify (not available in the US) has shown media outlets how they have built a sustainable revenue model, paying record labels royalties in two of its international markets, and a share of ad-based revenues in another four. The socially enabled, P2P-based music service lets users stream music through a custom application on user’s computers for a monthly fee, or free with advertising support. In the service’s home country of Sweden, Spotify revenues already top iTunes.
So the gist of it is: a new music industry revenue model is rising, and it’s good for consumers and labels alike.
