Dead 100.5
Once again, Birmingham alternative radio has sounded its death knell in the form of automation, which will soon be followed by FM simulcast of WAPI (featuring the likes of Matt Murphy and Sean Hannity). As of 2 pm on Sunday–at the end of Reg’s Coffee House, a show that has been on in Birmingham [...]
Steamfolk Awareness Day this Saturday: Barnstormers at Speakeasy

Haiti Relief Benefit Moved
I just happened to notice that Bottletree’s Haiti Benefit Show has been moved from Tuesday to Friday.

Got 46 bucks and love Kings of Leon?
Well, then… they’ll be at the BJCC on October 15. Tix go on sale August 22 at 10am sharp via Ticketmaster.
Sad part is as much as Sam and I love them so much, we’re not sure about that price. I’ve seen them live 4 times, two of which I got to hang with the guys [...]
