KWAX, also known as 91.1 FM, is a superb classical music station out of the University of Oregon…read more While some classical stations seem to play the same songs on continuous loop (and I'm not letting pop&easy listening stations off the hook), KWAX changes it up, with the Chicago Symphony, operas on Saturday morning, Performance Today, and the Sunday lineup includes Pipe Dreams, With Heart&Voice, and the Organ Loft. Eugene touts itself as a cultural heart of the valley with its Alton Baker Park, Hult Center&Bach Festival... and KWAX solidifies its stature as an artistic hub. It's got a personable assortment of hosts. An aural delight.

I recently started using them online and in print to find healthy restaurants, holistic health practitioners, etc. Also, I have just decided to start advertising with them for my own local business. It is new, so I don't know how the return on investment will turn out, however I can comment on the experience. They were helpful, friendly, and easy to work with. They were absolutely not pushy, which I really appreciate, and they had affordable options for small businesses like me (I am a massage therapist with my own private practice). I also like that they are a local business themselves, and I was able to stop by and speak with a representative in person. Compare this with trying to get in the standard phone book: I called the yellow pages and asked about getting my business in the book. They took my information and said they would forward it to their advertising department. That was three weeks ago... I'll try to remember to update in a year or so and let y'all know how the ROI was for an independent LMT.

One quiet little example of the fabric of our community is one of our radio stations, Keeping Real Variety in Music, KRVM. I listen in the mornings and at work. Every am is breakfast with the blues, and during the day they have a unique selection of alt rock favorites that are perfect for at-work listnin'. Probably my favorite evening show is Tupelo Honey with Shotgun Majors, but there's pretty much an evening program for all genres. Truly independent radio is a dying breed, and soon I fear none of our airwaves will be "free." KRVM is doing their part to maintain real music, and to do it with an educational focus. Check out their webpage for more details about this great community service. And give 'em a try the next time you're cruising the dial.

Becoming a local is no easy task but one can certainly fake it with the most recent copy of the EW. Plus, the annual restaurant awards for the "people's choice" is a real opportunity for anyone to try the city's best restaurants. The articles are well written and the entire paper is generally a good read. Granted its not as diverse or as content heavy as the Register Guard, its geared toward a local audience. An audience of which that can attain this paper for free. Out of all of the local publications in Eugene, the EW stands above them all for a good collection of content ranging from classifieds to insider articles.

It's the same everywhere. Clear Channel has its standard playlists, whether you're in Boston,…read morePortland, San Francisco, or Eugene. It's the reason why you can hear James Blunt caterwauling "You're beautiful" on two DIFFERENT pop stations. Clear Channel has standardized pop music. In a way, it's a good thing. It makes great background music when you're banking, driving, shopping for groceries. When it comes to guilty pleasures, it gets 3 stars. I can rock out to Lady GaGa, La Roux, Rihanna, Madonna, and "indie" stars like Angel Taylor and KT Tunstall. The Clear Channel definition of "indie" usually means mainstream and slightly folksy. Think of Colbie Caillat, who marketed herself as an indie coffeehouse acoustic guitar diva, despite the fact her father produced Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" and "Rumours." Clear Channel gets 3 stars for its averageness. Ryan Seacrest interviewing celebrities, colorfully reading the TWILIGHT series is worth it. It's like hot chocolate. You can't live on hot chocolate, but it makes life enjoyable.
