Roundup
- Minimum Mouse - handmade jewellery made from kitsch and vintage clothes. And other stuff. Run by Marianne and James and based in Birmingham they sell on eBay.
- B:INS points to Fraz ‘n’ Gus, ostensibly a novelty pop act but with a pretty decent musical heritage behind them. Songs include Northfield Nan and the rather cutting Moseley. Apparently they’ve got an album’s worth of Birmingham songs which I think might actually be worth seeking out. Also, their Friends List on MySpace looks worth investigating. Lots of bands I people I’ve not heard of there.
- 4talent need an ident - one of those fancy animated things you see on the telly - and they’re opening up the field. Details of how to submit your idea (with a £2,500 prize) at the link.
- Graffiti artist Hoakser has a website with loads of photos of his work. ta
- Creative Wolverhampton is a Ning Community set up by Debut Design. I wrote a little about Ning here.
- UCE’s new website launches and Stef Lewandowski gives it the critical eye in his inimitable style. How’d'ya like them apples UCE? Huh?

Oops. Didn’t realise the closing date was today. Why do I only find out about these things when they’re nearly over?
