This Saturday, Nov. 22, Paste senior contributing editor Amanda Petrusich will make the trip from Brooklyn to Atlanta to read from and discuss her new book It Still Moves: Lost Songs, Lost Highways, and the Search for The Next American Music, at Decatur’s own Wordsmiths Books. And we can think of no better way to celebrate her cross-genre hybrid– equal parts memoir, travelogue, music history, and music criticism– than with some free beer and Americana jams.

Thomas Function, the Alabama band that considers itself part of an ongoing “rock-n-roll renaissance,” begins its fall tour next week. The band’s debut, Celebration, came out earlier this year (it’s quite good, if we do say so ourselves), and the guys are looking forward to the November release of a 7″. Below are the dates, along with TF’s new “Filthy Flowers” video—be

Snap!)

Democracy can be powerful when you get it right. Putting power in the hands of the people means that while you might not make everyone happy, you’ll at least be seeing to the concerns of the majority. So if it works for the legislative and executive branches, why not for an Americana and folk-themed vacation cruise?

Hey, party people. Hope the first week of September is treating you quite well. After a cookout-laden day off to start the week, PasteMagazine.com was back on the case in the name of Signs of Life in music, film and culture (Hey, that would be a nice tagline for a magazine!), and here’s what we came up with, asterisk style:

Bayou soulster Marc Broussard is hitting the road to promote his upcoming record, Keep Coming Back, and he’s bringing Paste along with him. But we’re not talking the latest issue here; Paste is sponsoring Broussard’s “Keep Coming Back Tour,” which kicks off on Sept.14 in Fairfield, Conn.

When Paste decided
to expand our coverage of signs of life in music, film and culture to the local
level in vibrant cities around the U.S. with a new initiative called
Paste:Local, the choice for our inaugural stop was obvious. Our hometown of Atlanta, Ga.,
boasts a music scene spanning indie rock, hip-hop, country and more, and its
film and visual arts communities are growing more vital all the time. From
national stars to up-and-coming sensations to hidden treasures, Atlanta’s got a
lot to offer—and Paste:Local Atlanta is here to bring you the best of the best
in local live music, album releases, cultural events, film festivals, art, food
and more.

A good Monday morning to you and yours. My day is already off to a great start thanks to David Byrne and Brian Eno’s new album, which you can download today. Since I’m a little late on PasteMagazine.com’s weekly update, I’m going to break it down all quicklike for you…

Happy 8/8/08, folks. It’s a lucky day to some, but for most of us, it’s more likely just the end of the work week. And you know what that means…binge drinking! Well, maybe, but also a round-up of all the content on PasteMagazine.com over the last several days.

We know; it’s a win-win-win. For one, Miss Aimee Mann is taking her summer tour all the way into mid-September in support of her June release, @#%&! Smilers, the singer-songwriter’s seventh full-length to date. But wait, there’s more! Purchasing the new album of this long-standing Paste fave (cover artist of Issue #2!) on her online store will earn you a free, one-year subscripion to the magazine. Not bad, huh?

Someone just started blasting the DuckTales theme song (and Tiny Toons and Animaniacs and Jem…apparently the weekend has officially begun) here in the office, so it must be time for This Week on PasteMagazine.com.

I’m going to blame my lateness on this last week’s update on The Dark Knight. That’s fair, right? I think so, if only because a) it’s awesome, b) it’s breaking records and c) Heath Ledger’s Joker was more terrifying than an Andy Dick mugshot. At any rate, one of this last week’s highlights on PasteMagazine.com was our review of the movie (linked above, natch). But oh, there was so much more…
