Now, I'm going to preface my review of The Scene by admitting that yes, I am a contributing music…read morewriter, so I may be a bit biased. However, from a purely objective standpoint (because I felt this way even before they hired me), I can say that The Scene is the best publication in Nashville when it comes to arts and entertainment. First of all, The Scene can be found for free at countless locations throughout the city. It features album, book and film reviews as well as hard news pieces on the goings-on in and around Nashville. They also print some pretty popular features, such as the "Best of Nashville" list, and their website is extensive with archives of all the articles they publish. The Scene is a Village Voice publication, and those people know how to run a paper. With all the staffers and contributors The Scene employs, it's pretty easy to see that if something interesting goes down in Nashville, one of our guys will cover it. There are always listings of upcoming shows and events as well as reviews of things you may have missed. Besides, it's free! It certainly doesn't look like a hastily thrown-together publication, however.

Scene is pay to win, or pay for attention. The restaurants, bars, and venues that buy the most…read moreadvertising get the most attention. I work at one of only 5 fully plant based restaurants in Nashville but somehow we are left out of any articles like "where to find best vegetarian meals" but they'll instead mention a meat-centric restaurant with a few vegetable dishes, like wtf? Is it because we turn them down when we get sales calls from them? Because we don't want to buy advertising in their cheap rag? I agree with Simply S. that the staff at Scene only write about the things they're interested instead of covering the wide variety of happenings in Nashville. It's poor representation and they should hold themselves to a higher standard.

Can you tell I feel it's swell to kvell as a fawning fan of Ferrell? So far Southcomm has constrained mostly to east of the Mississippi, but who knows what tomorrow will bring. Watch out, West!

When I first moved to Nashville area I saw people standing on the side of the road at intersections…read moreor sometimes in the strip between the two lanes holding up a paper and people rolling down their windows and making an exchange=== money for a paper. I thought wow this is a unique way to get your daily newspaper. I asked a co-worker and found out that this is a publication put out by homeless people and they have to follow a program and basically they pick these papers up and are allowed to sell them for money for themselves as opposed to just hanging out with a sign that said hungry- need food. I was very intriqued. I started buying the paper each it was convenient---stopped at a red light had the change hanging or my wallet handy as I think this is a great idea and once I started to actually get the little publication I enjoyed the articles. The articles are typically by homeless or former homeless people. I appreciate that this program is in place and I certainly feel more comfortable rolling down my window and or making eye contact and acknowledging these folks that are trying to do something to better their situation.

I landed on WRVW for a while and enjoyed the tunes as I drove through Nashville's awesome traffic. It's amazing how many highways join up and split as they pass through this big city! Dua Lipa, Eminem, Linkin Park, Miley Cyrus. It's not rock and it's not adult. It's Top 40ish pop and they seem to play a LOT of Taylor Swift. 107.5 is part of the iHeart radio conglomerate and they're happy to advertise for themselves and the big iHeart music festival that you can catch on other stations or win tickets. *eye roll* [Review 20072 overall - 428 in Tennessee - 1048 of 2023.]

On Sunday, I woke up screaming when the non-news segments of NPR came on instead of classical…read moremusic. It was my first Sunday listening to radio in Nashville. Before I could find out if "A Prairie Home Companion" is part of this lineup, I quickly turned the dial. After half a dozen country music stations, I came across something that reminded me of home: a Top 40 station. Granted, the playlist will repeat itself after a couple of hours. And I was saddened that there wasn't a morning show. The music is solid, but not risky enough to try new releases unless other stations in other markets do so beforehand. But at least I won't be chewing my arm off if I had to endure "A Prairie Home Companion".
