One thing I have not found since moving from Jacksonville is a radio station that seems to have…read morepirated my grandparents record collection to play on the air. My grandfather had this spherical blue radio from which I first heard the sounds that I would come to love. Perhaps I was crazy being the only young male listening to the easy listening hits of a bygone era, and even a few more contemporary hits remixed to the soothing mantra of Jones College. On second thought, "remix" is the wrong word. Yes, Jones College Radio became the butt of some jokes, but in the end I loved it. No noise. No distortion. No irritation. Just good music.

I love music. Seriously, my taste is all over the map. But when it comes to radio in Fl, the…read morechoices seem to be: 1. Country 2. Hip Hop 3. Angry yelling god person All three raise my blood pressure, so I usually go left of the dial looking for the soothing, dull tones of NPR. Imagine my surprise the day I discovered Jones College Radio. People called it "elevator music", "Musak®", "Music to get your teeth extracted by". If you were young and dumb and full of... um, something, you HATED this music. But that's because you were stupid. You didn't know better. Soon you would. My love of easy listening (what Jones calls "beeautiful music") probably started around when my then gf (now wifey) dropped the needle on this Percy Faith cover of "Goin' Out of my Head". It was like having Thorazine pumped into my ears. Going out of my head? HAH! I don't think so. I can't fucking move! Anyway, it was a little much, but it made a deep impression. The real gateway drug to EL though, was undoubtedly the great Antonio Carlos Jobim, particularly the Wave record. O.M.F.G. This record is so stunningly, awfully, gorgeous that I am tearing up just thinking about it. Most of the songs clock in at around 2:30. They're just little pieces of perfection making you beg for more. I've played Mojave 20 times in a row. I know what you're thinking... "Crack". You're right. You don't hear this stuff in elevators or doctor's offices anymore. Now it's "Cool Jazz", which is right behind babies screaming, and country music as most annoying sounds on earth. Anyway, this has been all about me. The station is great. They don't play all my favorites, and sometimes I'm like "wtf is this?", but overall they do a great job of providing something that you rarely get anywhere else. WKTZ IS the best thing in Jacksonville. 90.9 is programmed on all of my car radio buttons, because really, there's nothing else on the radio, and I don't care.

This is a wonderful magazine that is focused on articles that appeal to the upper crust of…read moreNortheastern Florida. The photography for this magazine is worth perusing alone! Jacksonvillians will be able to truly appreciate seeing our city highlighted in such a beautiful way. That being said, the demographic is definitely targeted and the content may not necessarily appeal to everyone. I do however like the '30 Second Critic' column which focuses on Jacksonville related reviews of such things as local authors, musicians and books. The Publisher's Letter, written by Joseph White, publisher of Jacksonville Magazine is always witty and poignant as well. Jacksonville Magazine also publishes another monthly magazine called 904. I enjoy this publication as well as it spotlights successful local business men and women. And as a standard for this company the photography is simply beautiful. You can pick up Jacksonville Magazine and its subsidiary 904 all over town. The price is very inexpensive at $3.95 for Jax Mag and a whopping $2.95 for 904. It is important to note however, that you can also subscribe on their website as well. Additionally, 904 can be downloaded for free. If you enjoy good local information and beautiful photography definitely pick up this well put together magazine.

They do a good job of featuring different topics of interest in each one. My favorite issue each year is the Top Restaurants; I am bit of a foodie after all. Each one serves as a good guide to where you can find what you need in the city: restaurants, doctors, charities, pet-themed happenings. It really does run the gamut and does a good job doing so. While the stand cost isn't bad at all, the savings on a subscription was well worth it to us and we've had one for the past couple of years.

La Nueva Fiesta! Ciento Cinco Punto Siete! (My Spanish teacher would be so proud! Haha)…read more Due to the growth of the Latin population in Jacksonville in the last few years, it was inevitable that there would be a Spanish radio station. (Now why don't we have a Filipino radio station yet? Hmm?) They play a variety of music from ballads to pop to salsa to merengue to bachata to reggaeton to pitbull (if you consider his stuff Spanish...or even music.. "Mami got an ass like a donkey, with a monkey" WHAT? haha). The only thing I hate about this station is sometimes they talk too much, and the signal is sometimes weak. PS I'm copying Jay, and writing an FTR as my first review as an Elite! =D
