Dixie Downturn: New Nashville Blog For Broke 20-Somethings

There’s a new Nashville blog in town by and for broke 20-somethings called Dixie Downturn. The broke 20-somethings are Lance Conzett and Michelle Korn.
I’m excited to have more eyes on the side streets of Nashville. So far, they’ve been urban art crawling to local graffiti spots and sharing the art of drinking free beer.
If you’re a devote reader of my blog, you may remember me describing Lance as one of two kids who’ll change the Nashville music scene, or leave it. (He’s the guy running in an indie-cool way to the right there.)
In the same post I created an award and gave it away (in true Generation Y guru style) and also said “he’s a critic living in the sweaty, loud basement venues of our city and he knows things.”
Looking back, I’m a bit ashamed by how Gen Y my post was, but I stand by my words about Lance, who also helped launch The Week At Belmont, an amazing and often-satirical Belmont video news show.
So, I’ll be supporting this blogging venture as much as I can, because of The History Of Awesome Rule. (THOAR).
Won’t you give Dixie Downturn some love with me? We need more bloggers who say pithy and local things like the following:
“Have you ever contemplated getting the Exit/In stamp tattooed on your hand so you’d get into shows for free? We’re right there with you.”
