The magazine will launch a “Save Paste” campaign later today, appealing to readers to donate money in exchange for exclusive music from a variety of bands.

Alas, it's not in the dying or the saving, it's in the re-creation. One must assume that will occur in the digital realm, if it's to occur at all.
