We're digging in to the sites that have fallen out of date, and apparently #BirminghamAL just stopped posting minutes in 2024? Not sure why? Anyone who lives there and wants to help us dig in, reach out!

I was born in Birmingham, AL less than a decade after it became ground zero for the civil rights movement (my mother was briefly a teacher at Parker HS during the short time we lived there).

It's actually hard to find a lot about Birmingham that happened my year, but I find myself drawn to the subject. For some reason something today urged me to have another look.

I found two separate newspaper clippings digitized at the Birmingham Public Library - one before and one after I was born (12/4) - about the really great "Black Christ" stained-glass mosaic at the 16th St Baptist Church, bombed in 1963:

Neat stuff! Not entirely sure of the context, and why these stories went up. I think there was some other rioty thing that was happening in the city at the time, so says my mother anyway.

Anyway I'm atheist but this is my heritage, so I can say I love the modern design with all the curves and the greatly more accurate depiction of jesus as not a white person.

St. Paul and the Broken Bones, The Alien Coast, 2022 on ATO Records

I’m a big fan of St. Paul and the Broken Bones since their debut album, Half the City, came out in 2014. On this record the 8-piece band is founders Paul Janeway and Jessie Phillips plus Al Gamble, Allen Bransetter, Amari Ansari, Browan Lollar, Chad Fisher, and Kevin Leon. This is their 4th studio full-length and first on ATO Records.

Recorded at Communicating Vessels in Birmingham Alabama and mixed at Sam Phillips by Matt Ross-Spang who also produced.

Love seeing this band continue to evolve.

My copy, via Waterloo Records in Austin TX, is the limited edition on “gold nugget” vinyl.
