CLOSER bit A Sharon Scott radio head The host of Rock Sexy goes by "Blythe of the Ball." On another show, a member of local rock band the Ladybirds plays Renaissance music. Acentos? Songs in Spanish. You can hear it all on ART + FM (artxfm.com), an Internet radio station that locked up some grants and frst broadcast last September from the annual IdeaFestival. "There has been this massive homogenization of the FM dial," says general manager Sharon Scott. "People have important things to say, great music to share, but don't have an avenue to get their voices heard. I want to provide that opportunity." Originally from Marietta, Ga., Scott was GM of Vanderbilt's college radio station as a student. Her journey to town: Living in Brooklyn on 9/11. Soon after, she and her roommate put the names of 11 cities they liked into a hat. Drew Louisville. Moved here in 2002. Now ART + FM shares an interior window with Earth Friends Cafe in NuLu. ("The girl in the apartment upstairs is super-cool," says Scott, who "is old enough to not want you to know.") In the sparse studio: two Technics turntables, two microphones, a soundboard, little else. Basically, each of the roughly 40 volunteer DJs hosts a weekly two-hour show. Streaming 24/7, live from 4 p.m. to midnight. Scott wants talent in the booth more often than that. "There's just something about having a real-life DJ — not a recording — on the radio," she says. — Josh Moss THIS MONTH IN Photo by Chris Witzke And More! 6.13 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 13
