Created in Birmingham

Stuff online about Saturday’s Project X Presents.

[Later: They’re doing the collective memory thing themselves, which is refreshing to see.]

Blog posts

Joanna Geary - “The night summed up what Birmingham is capable of when it pulls its cultures and its talent together”
Robin Valk - “A vibe that took me back 40 years, bolstered with 21st Century commitment and technology.”
Andy Pryke - “Multi-faceted box of delights”
Pete Ashton (that’s me) on Matt Murtagh’s Wings of Brum photos, to which Rob Horrocks commented “This is very much what Project X Presents is all about. People pushing what it is that they do in a supportive environment. The whole is far greater than the sum of the parts and all that.”

Right, let’s see what the online-o-sphere can give us for this weekend’s giggery.

First up, there’s a group on Flickr for you to add your photos. All are welcome.

Conference
David Nikel reports and Dunc Autumn Store responds on the subject of promoters.
Robin Valk is interviewed by The Stirrer at the conference about the state of local radio. Discussion thread follows.
Andrew Dubber reports on his own panel involving six 14 year old girls being quizzed by industry figures about how they consume music. Fascinating stuff.

Opening Ceremony and Thursday night
Birmingham It’s Not Shit reviews the opening ceremony and cites the blitz spirit along with liking the multi-genre supergroup aspect.
The Hearing Aid wonders where everyone was.
Danny Smith critiques all the acts.

Friday night
David Nikel is liveblogging from the Nightingale venue.
BiNS reviews the bands by checking out their shoes.
The Hearing Aid did the Barfly.
Danny Smith catches a few bands

Saturday night
BiNS reviews the bands using graphs. I wish I’d thought of that.
Andy Pryke checks out Misty’s and Shady Bard.
Danny Smith does the rounds and seems pretty impressed.

General
BiNS offers constructive criticism and lists a few favourite things.
Anthony Herron reports on the conference and Friday night at the Sanctuary.

More to be added - leave links in the comments as usual.

The following went to this and wrote about it.

• Art Stalking Ana (with photos)
• Andy Pryke
• Tom Lennon
• The Concept (with photos)

Any more?

I’m not going to go crazy looking for them but here’s the collective memory post for Plus:

Rich Batsford went to the Friday night party.

Viggy La Q visited on the Sunday.

Charlotte Carey reports on the Michael Wolf talk.

Stef Lewandowski promises a series of posts: Moving Type Found is the first.

Any more reports, leave a comment.

It seems there were a fair number of bloggers at the Pram / Modified Toy Orchestra / Shady Bard gig at the Town Hall on Monday if the Going Deaf For A Fortnight project is anything to go by. If you reviewed the gig leave a comment on that post and it’ll be included.

An ongoing collation of mentions of the Moseley Folk Festival across teh internets.

Your central point is the Festival Messageboard where you can leave a quick note of praise or otherwise.

Here’s the rest of the stuff I’m finding, updated as I discover new bits and bobs. As with the Supersonic Collective Memory I’ll actively search for a week or so but feel free to send me links or leave them in the comments.

How I do this

The blog posts come from searching Google Blog Search and Technorati for entries that mention “Moseley Folk”.

Photos on Flickr are a little harder to track this time as people are tagging them in all manner of ways so I’ve had to result to building a Yahoo Pipe which combines a number of searches and filters out the duplicated. Pipes are a little daunting but not that hard really if you’re comfortable with RSS feeds. I’ll set up another one for YouTube tomorrow.

I’ll be monitoring Google News but don’t expect anything for a few days. The rest will come from serendipity and people letting me know via email. Hint hint.

Interestingly it was easier tracking Supersonic despite having to trawl through all the jet engines.

An ongoing collation of mentions of Supersonic 2007 across teh internets.

[I’m going to stop actively searching for stuff now but will update this list with anything you send me or leave in the comments.]
