The marvelous ladies behind Birmingham's own Top Shelf Burlesque share some time with the Earth Hotel to talk about the art of stage seduction and why Birmingham might have such an interest in the erotic arts. See them Sept 21 at Brennan's Irish Pub and in future spots throughout the Southeast. Follow their Instagram accounts to be kept in anticipation. Instagram: @TopShelfBurlesque @patsyfineaswi...

I speak with the progenitor of the sound operation known as FLUSNOIX, the Birmingham installation of sonic artists who seek to communicate with each other and effect the good folks out there however they choose to be taken by the movement of air. Jess Marie Walker is the organizer and central cerebral hub of the improvisational group of musicians, and she has served in the ranks of the Southern av...

We return to the mini-world with music from all over the U.S., our most baffling and myopic home state. Listeners from across the continental sprawl have submitted their recent releases for old-fashioned revue and we send you the sound without too much ado. Should you want to skip around, timestamps are provided, but we hope you take time to visit the artists' pages and hear more, and support if y...

On this most jubilant return to form, I welcome the apple of my eye herself to the show to speak to us about her time at the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art and how the transcendent can be captured on canvas. The future holds much art discussion and outward spiraling from this place. Sources from the show: http://academyofvisionaryart.com/ http://www.danielmirante.com http://amandasage.com About t...

All avoidances will be attended to and repaid unto the souls of those responsible. Namely, mine. Welcome back to part two of our much-maligned Season Three. I was joined righteously in conversation by Joel Nobody, or the man who calls himself such, as I skulked away to a beach setting of tourist entropy. Joel maintains the churning machine that is Fork and Spoon Recordings of Panama City, Florida,...

The heat death swinging is all over and we return! There might be flies on you but there ain't no files that ain't backed up now so we can continue on the road of vantage seeking.

My friends from Montgomery, the two instrument-ers that make up the Heavy Children drove up to speak on the stage and display their fares across the frets and flams. We were joined by KWB, my old friend from Montevallo-way who added his stunning clarity guitar to the occasion. As a group, we yelled at each other in a productive, literary fashion, showed our disdain for the subject of my own design...

“My Self and the man called Dan sat down in his lovely homestead to discuss the music thing we do and our hopes and prayers for liberty loving people everywhere. It's a great discussion featuring music selections from Dan and an old archive version of myself.” [RIP Dan Sartain, walking amongst 10,000 worlds in the night elsewhere for a while as we each will, and are. I am selfishly privileged to h...

This man Milton has had a varied career and an expansive experiences in the fringes of rock n roll, and he has emerged blessed, motivated, and shining from the glow of worship. We speak for almost two hours about the mysticism of music, the underlying structures of our collective meaning, and what exactly it is about valleys that collects eccentric people with excessive energy. One of my all-time...

I was blessed and moved to have these instrumental crafts-folk in the studio to record a unique performance for this special episode. I encountered Frozen Yogurt at a storage unit show featured on minisode K and didn't get much of their set recorded on that night. It seemed fitting to have the real thing in and get it from the source. Enjoy! You can see them live this Friday night at the Soft Rock...

This is a minisode dedicated to the good people of ANTIFEST 2017. I'm sharing this anti-playlist curated by Lindsey Shante (Pushi, Little Girl, Helen of Coi), for the fringe music anti-festival created by Chance Bridges (Balcony View). I sat down with both of them in the pre-festival days to speak with them about this undertaking. Come to Season of the Witch, the third installment of BIRMINGHAM AN...

This week we welcome the duo Loi Loi to the city of Birmingham, the Red Mountain's own melting valley, and they found it to their liking. The electronic pair made a stellar impression on the folks of the Syn...
