Saying hello to The Mountain!

The Mountain - official logoIt appears there were a lot of people sitting at computers across metro Birmingham at 12 p.m. on Monday afternoon.

They were all waiting to hear what the first song ever broadcast digitally by The Mountain would be. We can’t blame them; we’ve been waiting since this post appeared in early November.

By the way, it was Mountain Song by Jane’s Addiction. They’ve been praising the station via Twitter since

Mayorpalooza continues through Friday

BellvCooper Bob Farley/f8PhotoIt had to seem just a little too quiet – but now we’re seeing the sprint begin in the race that is Birmingham’s special election for a new mayor next Tuesday, January 19.

The candidates are still scheduled to appear on Fox 6 tomorrow evening at 9 p.m. and in succession as part of a special On The Line at 12 p.m. (William Bell) and 1 p.m. (Patrick Cooper) Friday on WBHM 90.3 FM.

We’ve even put up some audio from the last time the candidates ran for mayor. It seems like only two years ago… oh wait, it was. But at least it’s almost over (we think).
