Design Review Committee disapproves replacement "Sign"
The Terminal: Ten Years Later
Every once in a while I become so excited about using Twitter to share news that I’ve learned about that I forget that there are many of our readers who still don’t use the service. So here’s the 411: The Birmingham News is reporting that Coldplay has announced a May 18 concert atthe state’s largest outdoor music venue, the Verizon Wireless Music Center at Oak Mountain. Tickets will go on sale next Monday morning at 10 a.m. via this link and LiveNation’s toll-free number. According to their website, it will be the band’s first show in The Magic City since January 2003.

Muse of Fire previews new show at Library
The Birmingham Public Library recently announced that they would be welcoming back local “deconstructed Shakespeare” troupe Muse of Fire for this month’s BPL@Night performance (They announced it via their blog as well). They’ll be previewing their latest effort, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which they are currently scheduled to take to “the stage” of Sloss Furnaces in May. The free performance will take place in the atrium of the downtown branch on Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd. next week Thursday, March 19, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Their MySpace page has some new photos taken during rehearsals – check ’em out!

got plans 2.0 – 3.6-3.8
Without a doubt spring has blown in with the breeze and I recommend you head over to Rojo for Happy Hour after work today to kick it off El Mariachi style with $2.25 domestics, $3.00 imports, and $7.25 PBR pitchers. Once you find yourself slightly inebriated and filled to the max with your choice of Latin or American cuisine, I know the comic nerd in you is going to guide you to the nearest theatre to see Watchmen, but I wouldn’t miss the Ben Kweller show at Workplay. Tonight is the night for this sort of revelry because tomorrow and Sunday are to be spent outdoors, per my orders (I was pre-med, so I know what’s best for your health).

mmm…beer at okafés!…mmm…
There are been some new additions to the menu at okafés! recently. The coffee house located in Birmingham’s Pepper Place has recently been granted its beer and wine license and already has rather large selections available for both categories. So now there’s yet another reason for folks to head on over there for shows in the coming weeks…
The beer selection pictured here made its appearance late last week, with the wine list following during the weekend.

Heartless Bastards climb The Mountain
The Heartless Bastards have indeed been climbing towards the mountaintop recently. Their new album, The Mountain
The Cincinnati, OH-based garage rock band made their debut on Letterman earlier this week (Tuesday actually) and now they’re getting ready to take the stage at The Bottletree this evening in a show that includes performances by Nashville’s The Deep Vibration. Tickets are $10 and it starts at 8 p.m. I’d say that they’re staying pretty busy indeed.
If you missed their performance of Out at Sea, check it out; If you’ve been wondering about if you wanted to go… take a listen to the title track:

Roomful of Ghosts is hauntingly good
I’ll admit I was a little nervous to restart the Timetable video of the week last week, especially since I wasn’t quite sure how to follow up Vulture Whale’s effort. Enter my friend John, who forwarded me some information about the new release from Birmingham expatriate Samm Bennett, entitled Roomful of Ghosts. This week’s video is Until You Kiss Me, and I think that those of you that are fans of world music will enjoy the music of this founding member of the free improvisation group Third Person‘s latest effort. But I think that Mark Dery’s review of the album will do a much better job of painting the appropriate picture…
