"Taking a cue from Radiohead, Paste allowing readers to pay what they want."

Brilliant.

And unsurprising. Not only do I know & lurrv a few of the staff from my favorite magazine, but I adore each issue so much that it's the only magazine I now save after I read it (cover to cover, natch.)  The articles are thorough and well-written, informative and entertaining. I'm constantly introduced to new independent music via the magazine and, in tandem, by the monthly sampler CD, which comes in every issue. The yearly rate is $19.95/year (I currently have a  2-year subscription myself) and worth every penny; while I could now pay less, I suppose, I just don't see why it's necessary. Best $20 I spend a year, hands down.

Led Zeppelin will finally offer their music online starting next month.   Of the music you buy, about how much of it do you download and how much do you buy on physical formats (CDs, vinyl, etc.)?

I'd say I'm about 30:1 digital/physical. I just don't have the space for CDs, nor the desire to go into a music store. Yep, I know that Amazon delivers (as does every other site, I suppose) but iTunes and eMusic are just too easy not to stick to online. (I *DO* need to try the new amazon music delivery as well.)
