I approve and wholeheartedly endorse this new Tuesday column. I will return this (meterelogical) fall. See you then, if not before.

Jonny Lee Miller - 📽️ Afterglow (Alan Rudolph, 1997) His films aren’t discussed enough, but Rudolph captured so many actors’ most interesting and vulnerable performance. Miller is terrific often, but never similar to this narcissistic, depressed executive in a bitter marriage with Lara Flynn Boyle.

My ex Suzie (we're still good friends) has a new band with Nate from Mouthus/Lower Dens (also a homie) as well as Ted from Baklavaa (never met him I don't think) and they make the kind of noise-rock that makes me say yes this is a cool band. I did tell Suzie the band should not be named Caretaker

Over those two days in 2015, we could not know what was to come next for Beach House. I left them with a hug, a handshake and a smile, my DEPRESSION CHERRY LP pre-ordered. This week @timkabara.bsky.social excerpts his forthcoming book on Baltimore music: www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weird...

Nothing makes me prouder to be from Baltimore than when End It rips into "New Wage Slavery" and the crowd knows every word, every syllable, and yawps along. Maybe a new better world is possible, after all.

The tough day was getting worse. With no time left on the clock, I turned to the only thing I knew that could get me through. Powerviolence. This week in Anything for a Weird Life, Tim gets PERMISSION TO EXPERIENCE HIS ANGER: www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weird...

Ain't been this hot in Baltimore in May since 1962, or so they're sayin'. Then rain all weekend to mess up all the festivals.

I feel it is time to address the allegations. Yes, I was an emo. Yes, I was in an emo band in the 1990s. This week Tim gives some advice ON RECKONING WITH YOUR PAST: www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weird...

A value I hold is that the act of making art and then sharing that art with others is the core. If I did that today, I’m good. This week @timkabara.bsky.social surfs the Baltimore music archive hotdogcity.fm www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weird...

The month of May in the Baltimore scene sphere is going to go as hard as the The Nation of Ulysses did when they performed in Toronto, Canada on Tuesday, October 1st, 1991. @timkabara.bsky.social previews some May gigs: www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weird...

I am playing a show this Sunday, April 19th at The Mercury Theater. My set will be dedicated to all the people I am currently in line with at the CVS. One just muttered, "it makes no sense... it makes no sense..." Hard agree.

Like all things, bands end. A light was cast into the darkness. Did you see it? In this week’s ANYTHING FOR A WEIRD LIFE, @timkabara.bsky.social reflects on the final chapter of Baltimore’s Mondrary. MONDRARY: THE END www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weirdlife429

“In fact, Satanic panic seems almost quaint when compared to our modern-day horrors…” Tim Paggi reports on Connor M. Kizer’s latest piece of DIY theater at the Mercury, an adaptation of The Blood on Satan’s Claw

“Wavelength” is the term I tend to use to describe folks who I fall in with, travel with, and want to be around frequently in the Baltimore music and arts underground. Today in Anything for a Weird Life, @timkabara.bsky.social talks Cex: www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weird...

“Every time I attend New Works I feel a bit like a jukebox afterwards, one full of Baltimore’s weird dreams instead of songs.” Jess Bither reports from the latest in Baltimore’s underground film scene

The flyer for the show does not contain a name for the venue or an address. One is instructed to “ask a punk.” The 2026 digital equivalent is “DM for address”. So, I do. Prepare for STRANGE TIMES IN THE “ASKAPUNKIVERSE” with @timkabara.bsky.social in this week’s ANYTHING FOR A WEIRD LIFE ↓

You see people keeping tapes in clear norelco cases with no j-card. You can look at the tape in there. It looks fine. No big deal, right? Well what happen when a bird crashes into it? Birds don’t know anything about norelco cases. That just looks like air to them. Maybe think about that a little bit

Even with being past doors, I decided to walk, gas prices being what they are. The weather was nice and I was in the mood to amble. Maybe the show would not start on time? This week in Anything for a Weird Life, @timkabara.bsky.social shows up late: www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weird...
