fuckyeahstirchley: CoCoMad is coming soon. Since Stirchley annexed Cotteridge earlier this year this is now technically ours, though the patronising booze-free peacenicks of Bournville might disagree. All good Stirchillians are required to be in attendance to ensure they don’t get the wrong idea, if you know what I mean. Leave the shooters at home though. We don’t want to scare the kiddies. from Brumblr, the scrapbook of Brum web ephemera:

Praise the Sabbath: now Birmingham shows its metal – Features, Music – The Independent: “Every day tens of thousands of commuters hurry past a telling statue in Birmingham’s main square. Antony Gormley’s Iron: Man – a sort of wonky prototype for The Angel of The North – perfectly expresses the culture of Brum. The city, like its under-appreciated icon, is off-kilter. It was this intangible sense of the other, of being different despite being the bullseye of Britain, that meant Birmingham could give birth to strange new sounds and trends.” from Brumblr, the scrapbook of Brum web ephemera:
