Best Thing to Happen to Gannett
Dave Paulson
He's a guitar-slinger for local rock wizards The Privates and one hell of a remix aficionado, but this fresh-faced local rock dude also cracks the word-whip for The Tennessean. And what a mighty whip it is: With his seemingly encyclopedic musical knowledge, he parses everything from rock to hip-hop to noise with expert ease. We suspect that this shameless lover of pop would reject the notion of guilty musical pleasures, and that's why we keep reading: No Coolsville indie band or ridiculously mainstream argh-rock act escapes his attentive ear. —TRACY MOORE
