Kings Heath’s Market Square

Famous for having its own ‘who’s what’ on the weekends Moseley isn’t having one, Martin Mullaney reveals plans for Kings Heath’s market square – on his blog and on youTube: I have to say it’s another Mullaney YouTube classic, they’re definately getting more confident – I loved the walk up intro, and tittered along with Martin when he mistakes the phone boxes for toilets (in speech only, but I don’t think he’s the first one to do it). Joking aside, let’s see more polititians get up to this sort of thing.

More what’s on

I’ve just added the Birmingham feed from gigsta.co.uk to the pipe that feeds our What’s On section (down and to the left) – have tried to add the result from the feeltheheat RSS feed too. So now there’s even less excuse to miss out on owt.

What’s Goin’ On

As Marvin Gaye sang it’s important to know what events are coming up in Brum – we’ve had a feed of upcoming‘s event listings in our sidebar for some time. To make sure there’s no chance of you missing anything tho’, we’ve done a yahoo pipes mashup that also adds listings from Birmingham Alive. You can get it here of course, or it’s direct RSS feed is here: What’s On In Brum. If you can think of any other listings feeds that should be added, drop us a line or add a comment.

sites of interest

The new website for the Town Hall & Symphony Hall launches this morning (developed by locals Made Media). It looks pretty stylish, but the real interest is under the hood where it is doing all sorts of funky stuff – tag clouds, personal home pages (no logging in required) and the best thing personalised RSS feeds. You should never miss a show again – and DEVO, Ray Davies and Andy Williams coming up at Symphony Hall all deserve a watching imho. Go have a play – it’s one of the best venue websites I’ve seen.Another job by Made Media is the Fierce Festival website which is cool and groovy – and should help you pick out the events you want to attend.

up yer Brum :: promoting the best of Birmingham on the web

We all love Birmingham, well at least we think that it’s not shit. And there’s a lot of great Brum stuff that you might never get to hear about – we can’t be everywhere (although we try) and some stuff might not be to our, very distinctive, tastes. What we need is some kind of way that everyone gets the chance to promote their favourite things about Brum… what we need is www.upyerbrum.com You can submit a web link to upyerbrum for any story which shows Birmingham’s true greatness. If others agree their votes will push the story to the top of the pile. Links could be a written story, a film, podcast or photo. You may have seen it on the BBC or a local newspaper site, on a blog or a school site, even written it yourself and put on the web. All that counts is that it shows something great about Birmingham. You can get voting and submitting, or just pop along to see what’s top of Brum’s pops. For those that get the whole web 2.0 thing it’s very much like digg – if you don’t give it a try. It’s fun!
