<p>The good ship <a href="http://www.capsule.org.uk/">Capsule</a> sails into double figures in December and they&#8217;re putting on a succession of parties to celebrate that fact.</p>
<ul>
<li>1 December &#8211; Monotonix + Beestung Lips + Cum Dogs + Esquilax (VIVID)</li>
<li>2 December &#8211; Tunng + Six Organs of Admittance + Lightning Dust + Bela Emerson (Town Hall)</li>
<li>8 December &#8211; Lightning Bolt + Tweak Bird + Pete Prescription (VIVID) SOLD OUT</li>
<li>10 December &#8211; Sunn 0))) + Om (The Asylum)</li>
<li>13 December &#8211; Capsule and 7inch Cinema present: Afternoon Tea – a light buffet with a healthy serving of films (VIVID). FREE Event</li>
<li>16 December &#8211; Beak&gt; (Geoff Barrow – Portishead) + Einstellung + Thought Forms (VIVID)</li>
<li>19 December – Closing Party: Modified Toy Orchestra + PCM + Calvados Beam Trio + Una Corda + Stinky Wizzleteat, plus a selection of special guests (VIVID)</li>
</ul>
<p>The line-up&#8217;s on <a href="http://morecanalsthanvenice.wordpress.com/2009/11/15/capsule-are-10/#more-1055">More Canals Than Venice</a> too, with links to each band&#8217;s MySpace profile. <a href="https://www.theticketsellers.co.uk/buy_tickets/organisers/?id=185">Tickets are available here</a>.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s more. <a href="http://www.capsule.org.uk/blog/?p=741">As the ladies say</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Not only will we be hosting a series of live shows&#8230; we’re also producing an exhibition which delves deep into our archive. This will feature 10 years worth of flyers, photos and related ephemera</p></blockquote>
<p>If you&#8217;ve got anything that can be added to that archive then get in touch with them at <a href="mailto:info@capsule.org.uk">info@capsule.org.uk</a>.</p>
<p>Finally, we&#8217;re lining up a joint Capsule/Created in Birmingham event for 17 December which will be an excuse to celebrate some of Birmingham&#8217;s rising independent talent. More details on this to come&#8230;</p>

<p>The chance to win a conducting masterclass with the Andris Nelsons (CBSO&#8217;s Music Director) is a pretty big deal, and those who can play violin, viola, double bass or cello might fancy playing on stage with the main orchestra.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s actually a little tricky to find out about local music around the city, I find. This is the stuff I know about, feel free to add other stuff in the comments.</p>
<p><strong>News</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.brumnotes.com/">Brum Notes</a> is the website for the free, monthly music and lifestyle magazine (Nov issue out now, <a href="http://issuu.com/brumnotesmagazine/docs/october">Oct one online here</a>).</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.birminghampost.net/life-leisure-birmingham-guide/birmingham-culture/music-in-birmingham/">Birmingham Post have news and reviews here</a> and the Birmingham Mail do <a href="http://www.birminghammail.net/what-is-on-in-birmingham/rock-and-pop/">rock/pop news</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fusedmagazine.com/">Fused Magazine</a>&#8217;s site does the odd bit of music news, as does the website for sister magazine <a href="http://areamagazine.wordpress.com/">Area</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.surgemusic.com/">Surge Music</a> takes a wider, Midlands-wide view of things, with articles and lists of gigs, bands and venues.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.culdesaconline.com/">Cul-de-Sac</a> turned out to be a false dawn for this sort of thing, but may come back one day.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/birminghamlive">@birminghamlive</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/brumpunks">@brumpunks</a> are good sources for concert info too.</p>
<p><strong>Reviews</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.brumlive.com/">Birmingham Live</a> is the obvious choice here &#8211; someone from their ranks of volunteer reviewers and photographers will be at a gig in Birmingham pretty much every evening. <a href="http://stevegerrardphotography.com/blog/">Steve Gerrard</a> organises this one (<a href="http://www.leeallenphotography.com/">Lee Allen</a> and I have also chipped in occasionally).</p>
<p><a href="http://thehearingaid.blogspot.com/">The Hearing Aid</a> is a blog by someone called The Baron who goes to an impressive number of local gigs.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.birminghammail.net/what-is-on-in-birmingham/birmingham-gig-reviews/">Birmingham Mail do gig reviews</a> too.</p>
<p><strong>Get-togethers</strong></p>
<p>The <a href="http://birminghammusicnetwork.com/">Birmingham Music Network</a> meets monthly at the Department of Technology, Engineering and the Environment (T.E.E.) at Millennium Point. Their website has a good range of resources too.</p>
<p><strong>Audio</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m on shakier ground here &#8211; which radio shows promote local talent There&#8217;s <a href="http://brumcast.podomatic.com/">Brumcast</a> on <a href="http://www.rhubarbradio.com/">Rhubarb Radio</a> and <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/birmingham/content/articles/2007/07/12/daz_hale_introduces_feature.shtml">Introducing on BBC WM</a>. I don&#8217;t know enough about the shows on <a href="http://www.newstyleradio.co.uk/">New Style Radio</a>, <a href="http://www.astonfm.com/astonFM/Default.htm">Aston FM</a> or any others.</p>
<p>Are there any Birmingham-based mp3 blogs worth talking about?</p>
<p><strong>Anything else?</strong></p>
<p>Let me know in the comments. Just to be clear, we&#8217;re not looking for bands/venues/promoters to plug themselves but if that&#8217;s you, where do you look to get featured?</p>
<p>Oh, and see also <a href="http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/2009/10/12/birmingham-listings-websites/">Birmingham listings</a>.</p>

<p>First up, <a href="http://theatricalia.com">Theatricalia</a> is the work of the ever-impressive <a href="http://www.dracos.co.uk/">Matthew Somerville</a>. It&#8217;s &#8216;a database of past and future theatre productions&#8217; which makes it no less than <a href="http://www.imdb.com/">IMDB</a> for theatre.</p>
<p>Already it contains archives of plays and performers from the RSC, Bristol University Archive, the Royal National Theatre and Birmingham Rep (1913-1971). You can search by play, person or place and edit entries yourself to help the archive grow.</p>
<p>The potential for <a href="http://theatricalia.com/">Theatricalia</a> is a little mind-boggling.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/wp-content/uploads/Black-Routes.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4066" title="Black Routes" src="http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/wp-content/uploads/Black-Routes.jpg" alt="Black Routes" width="500" height="102" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.blackroutes.org.uk/">Black Routes</a> is a new UK wide touring network for African and Caribbean music, with <a href="http://www.punch-records.co.uk/">Punch Records</a> as one of the founding partners and chair.</p>
<p>Punch&#8217;s Ammo Talwar wrote an <a href="http://www.birminghampost.net/birmingham-business/business-comment/2009/10/26/ammo-talwar-radical-change-is-here-to-stay-65233-25012834/">article in the Birmingham Post</a> explaining the context for the project, particularly how it fits in with what&#8217;s happening in Birmingham at the moment.</p>

<p>Yet another 10th birthday to add to the pile &#8211; Jibbering, the multi-faceted music/art promoters, are heading into double figures and <a href="http://www.jibbering.co.uk/2009/10/jibberings-10th-birthday-bash/">will be celebrating that fact at the Hare and Hounds</a> in Kings Heath on 14 November.</p>
<p>Over the years, as they say:</p>
<blockquote><p>we have staged over 150 concerts and parties presenting the finest music Birmingham has to offer and hosting some of the most exciting live bands from further afield</p></blockquote>
<p>Details of the night (who&#8217;s playing, etc) are on <a href="http://www.jibbering.co.uk/2009/10/jibberings-10th-birthday-bash/">Jibbering</a>&#8217;s website and the <a href="http://www.hareandhoundskingsheath.co.uk/jibberings-10th-birthday-bash/">Hare &amp; Hounds</a>&#8216; one too.</p>
<p>So big congrats to them. I&#8217;ll try and grab them for an interview at some point &#8211; if you&#8217;ve got any questions for them then please throw them in the comments below.</p>
<p>Tickets are £10/9 and available from <a href="https://www.theticketsellers.co.uk/buy_tickets/events/?id=10008913">the Ticketsellers</a>.</p>

This guy&#8217;s one of the world&#8217;s best and doesn&#8217;t play such intimate venues very often &#8211; he&#8217;s usually working at the behest of top name dance acts and fancy brands.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.oxjambrum.org.uk/">Oxjam Brum</a> is taking over a bunch of Birmingham pubs/bars on Saturday 24 October for a fundraising, musical extravaganza:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple of music-related things came out over the weekend both adding up to paint a less than rosy picture of Birmingham&#8217;s current live music scene.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="The Rainbow, Digbeth by ell brown, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ell-r-brown/4001545606/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2572/4001545606_b5352b4485.jpg" alt="The Rainbow, Digbeth" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://interactivecultures.org/music-as-culture/music-as-culture-online">Interactive Cultures</a> team at BCU have launched <a href="http://musicasculture.org/">MusicAsCulture.org</a> &#8211; a place to discuss the idea that &#8216;music is not just commerce&#8217;. It&#8217;s not an exclusively local thing, but it launches with a Birmingham-focussed  campaign dealing with the noise issues at The Rainbow in Digbeth. The campaign is being headed up by UB40 and is called Live, Loud and Local:</p>
<blockquote><p>Here in Birmingham, as with many places elsewhere, heritage music venues are in danger of closure or losing their live music licence because of issues of noise. Areas that were once not residential now have tenants, and the clash between apartment dwellers and local music venues has demanded a response at a policy level</p></blockquote>
<p>UB40 will be playing a one-off gig at The Rainbow on 3 November to raise money for a new roof on the building in an attempt to reduce outside noise. I don&#8217;t know where you can get tickets from yet, but then nor do <a href="http://www.ub40.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=101266&amp;postdays=0&amp;postorder=asc&amp;start=50&amp;sid=5f7ee57f56d3fb52d216c302143863fc">the folks on the UB40 forum</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.fusedmagazine.com/2009/10/09/johnny-foreigner/">Fused interviewed Johnny Foreigner</a> who aren&#8217;t afraid of sticking the boot in. They&#8217;re working on a documentary about how Birmingham&#8217;s music scene &#8220;suffers as a result when compared to other major cities&#8221;, which they see as a result of neglect by the council. Their advice for the city:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Drop the ego like Liverpool or nurture the homegrown stuff like Leeds and see the results in five years time when there are famous and forward looking bands not ashamed to say where they’re from</span></strong></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The line-up for this year&#8217;s Glastonbury Festival was announced today, and what a mediocre one it is. Like a lot of huge festivals it relies on the expected roll out of faded heroes and next week&#8217;s hipsters. If you are looking for a more, dare I say, &#8217;boutique&#8217; experience there are plenty of music festivals around the UK such as The Green Man Festival, End of the Road and All Tomorrow&#8217;s Parties.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3670" title="Moseley Folk" src="http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/1337988352_4675e4f6b9.jpg" alt="Moseley Folk" width="500" height="120" /><em><span style="color: #999999;">Moseley Folk Festival by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hanuman/" target="_blank">H4NUM4N</a></span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But thousands upon thousands of music lovers, from metal heads to twee folksters head to the Midlands every year to experience our independently run festivals, well crafted events that are deeply rooted in the community they came from.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, forget V, Leeds and Glasto, get yourself along to one of these West Mids fests:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.bassfestival.co.uk/" target="_blank"><strong>BASS Festival</strong></a> (British Arts and Street Sounds) is the UK&#8217;s only month long celebration of Black Music and Art. Every June, the UK comes alive with a phenomenal line up of events, new commissions, gigs, exhibitions, master classes, showcases, club nights, theatre, conferences and film. This year&#8217;s theme is &#8216;Inspired by Africa and Africans&#8217;, celebrating and exploring Africa&#8217;s influence on the UK arts scene.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>When: June. Cost: Free &#8211; £10</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.moseleyfolk.co.uk" target="_blank"><strong>Moseley Folk Festival</strong></a> has been running for 4 years now, programming  a healthy mix of traditional, contemporary and downright experimental folk and acoustic music. The festival is held in what feels like a world away from Brum&#8217;s City Centre within the gorgeous woodlands of Moseley Park. This year&#8217;s line up includes: Beth Orton, Saint Etienne, Jethro Tull and Kris Drever, John McCusker &amp; Roddy Woomble.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>When: 5th, 6th and 7 th September. Cost: £10 &#8211; £65.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.capsule.org.uk/supersonic/" target="_blank">Supersonic Festival</a> </strong>is definitely one for those who don&#8217;t like the mud, but do like loud and experimental music. If you think you don&#8217;t, go along to this Custard Factory festival anyway and you may just have an audio visual experience to remember, which has to beat standing the rain listening to Kasabian, right? <a href="http://www.capsule.org.uk/supersonic/">See the Capsule website for the full line-up</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>When: 24th &#8211; 25th July. Cost: £15 &#8211; £75</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.indietracks.co.uk/index.html" target="_blank">Indie Tracks Festival</a> </strong>is all a twee navelgazer could ever need in a festival; indiepop bands, a museum, churches, farms and most importantly stream trains. Set further afield in Derby, this fairly new and unspoilt festival is certainly worth the journey from Brum, and is steeped in rural Midlandsness.<a href="http://www.myspace.com/epic45" target="_blank"><br />
</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>When: 24th &#8211; 25th July. Cost: £30 &#8211; £55</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Other more than worthy regional mentions to go <a href="http://www.gigbeth.com/" target="_blank">Gigbeth</a>, <a href="http://www.birminghamjazzfestival.com/" target="_blank">Birmingham International Jazz Festival,</a> <a href="http://www.wolvescivic.co.uk/index.asp?loc=od_wolvestock" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.cotteridgepark.org.uk/index.php?page=cocomad" target="_blank">CoCoMad, </a>Wolvestock and  <a href="http://www.summersundae.com/?cat_id=1&amp;level=1" target="_blank">Summer Sundae</a>. This isn&#8217;t a definitive list, so feel free to add your recommendations in the comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When running any project/ festival/ organisation one of the most difficult things to get right (and one of the most important) is the visual identity or dare I say it,  &#8216;brand&#8217;. When putting any publicity together: flyers, posters, website etc. it is so important that the visual elements speak to your intended audience and tell something of the ethos of the organiser. When I have put together publicity for projects in the past I have found that the finished artwork is sometimes missing that magic ingredient, which for me is illustration.</p>
<p>In my opinion promoters <a href="http://www.capsule.org.uk/" target="_blank">Capsule</a> utilize the magic of good illustration just right. Each piece of design they commission is executed with full force, and this ballsy,  risk taking approach is one reason why they run some of the most well recognised events around.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.benjavens.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Ben Javens</a> has created these posters for Capsules Jan / Feb events and they are quite typical of the bold,  hand printed style you can see on his weblog, he has some lovely bits for sale in his <a href="http://benjavens.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">shop</a> too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dunc from the Autumn Store has compiled a non-exhaustive list of 101 West Midlands bands. Non-exhaustive because he gave up at 101 and because he set himself two restrictions:</p>

<p>The result is slightly reminiscent of the <a href="http://www.birminghamitsnotshit.co.uk/2008/10/gigbeth-2008-myspace-marathon.html">Myspace Marathons</a> BiNS&#8217; did for Gigbeth and Dunc&#8217;s patience in pulling together that many links to MySpace pages has to be applauded.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the best events I went to last year was Kala Phool&#8217;s Mother India: 21st Century Remix &#8211; a live re-scoring of the Bollywood classic that blew me away. I&#8217;ve wittered on about it <a href="http://www.chrisunitt.co.uk/2008/08/mother-india-21st-century-remix/">on my blog</a>.</p>
<p>I was really pleased to hear that the musicians will be in the studio (in Birmingham) next week to record the soundtrack and <a href="http://www.kalaphool.com/">Kala Phool</a> are trying to put together a national tour for later in the year.</p>
<p>Kala Phool are after a film maker to make a kind of video &#8216;calling card&#8217; for this. However, the bad news is there&#8217;s no budget available for the work. I must say I don&#8217;t tend to like posting these sorts of requests but I&#8217;m making an exception in this case.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re still interested:</p>
<ul>
<li>Filming will happen on Fri/Sat 16-17 January at studios in Aston near The Drum</li>
<li>They need some short interviews with the people involved and some footage of the band in the studio</li>
<li>There&#8217;s plenty of footage from the live shows already</li>
<li>They&#8217;re looking for something like the video of <a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HY54PDPEvvc">The Bays and Heritage Orchestra at the Liverpool Phil</a></li>
<li>The finished piece will be needed by the end of January</li>
</ul>
<p>If you can help then email Indy Hunjan at <span class="HcCDpe"><a href="mailto:indy@kalaphool.com">indy@kalaphool.com</a> or call her on 07977 449052.<br />

<p>A dumping ground for other bits and pieces including the effect of smearing vaseline on a camera lens, fun with kaleidoscopes (pic above) and a project called <a href="http://samski.net/?p=15">Your World</a>. For the latter, Sam says:</p>
<blockquote><p>I give you a disposable camera and a stamped addressed return envelope; you fill the camera with photos of Your World and send it back to me for processing</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.davidrowan.org/site/">David Rowan</a>&#8217;s new website has cropped up on a fair few blogs recently and with good reason. It&#8217;s real purty, with a stack of great photography on it and is dead clever to boot.</p>
<p>David is a photographer at <a href="http://www.bmag.org.uk/">Birmingham Museum &amp; Art Gallery</a> and also lectures, consults and does bits of art design and graphic design.</p>
<p>The website was put together by <a href="http://www.taktak.net/">Tak!</a> and has a soundtrack provided by <a href="http://www.chrisherbert.net/">Chris Herbert</a> which is remarkable because it&#8217;s interactive (try moving the three lines about) and didn&#8217;t have me reaching for the mute button like most autostart music on websites.</p>

<p>Oh, the glitz! The glamour! How often do I get to quote someone like Kanye on CiB? At the MTV Europe Music Awards the other week <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1599990/20081121/west_kanye.jhtml">he said</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>I believe Mr. Hudson has the potential to be bigger than me, to be one of the most important artists of his generation</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.myspace.com/mrhudson">Mr Hudson</a>, if you weren&#8217;t aware, is a lad from <a href="http://www.birminghamitsnotshit.co.uk/2007/11/igbeth-hursday-supergrouptastic.html">Handsworth Wood</a> and the latest signing to Kanye&#8217;s <a href="http://www.gettingoutourdreams.com/">GOOD Music</a> label. So blimey, and congrats to a local boy making good.</p>
<p>I came across this via the awesome <a href="http://soul-sides.com/2008/12/im-always-worried-bout-wrong-thing-or.html">Soul Sides</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The London/Birmingham based quintet, Mr Hudson and The Library dropped <strong>Tale of Two Cities</strong> in March of last year and made some noise in the UK but never really arrived stateside. Maybe it&#8217;s because the music speaks rather simply for itself, or the band didn&#8217;t have the flash of something revolutionary(!) in their sound. But of course, that&#8217;s all set to change&#8230;</p>
<p>After co-starring with Kanye on what is in my opinion the absolute standout sleeper track on an album full of standout sleeper tracks <em> and</em> producing or contributing to a handful of others (&#8221;Street Lights&#8221;, &#8220;Robocop&#8221; and &#8220;Say You Will&#8221;), the group has now signed to Kanye&#8217;s GOOD Music and, critics be damned, will likely forge on with General Kanye West leading the charge toward the future of pop music.</p></blockquote>
