Dear Baltimore,
Love of my life. Dastardly deamon of colors, body odor, and DIY artstuffs. Shitstorm of creativity and inspiration. A mistress after my own heart, and many many others.
I want you to know I will be bringing many ...

Thursday night, the first night of Whartscape, had that still new and fresh feeling...virginal maybe? Open seats were hard to find in theater 1 of the Charles. Wharstscape posters adorned the wall with phrases like "Worm Paste," and "Owl Dad." As with much of Wham City, I have no clue ...

Whartscape 2008's Friday show was at the 2640 Space, a church undergoing renovation assisted by the Red Emma's collective. In exchange for their services, they get to hold events provided there is no alcohol sold/drunk on the premises...house of God and all.
This year's line-up has more variety with a ...

So Whartscape is here. If you were smart, you saw Matmos last night. If you are smart, you'll be seeing Arbouretum and Beach house headline tonight's lush 2640 bill.
For those of you who might have missed it, we did a series of small interviews (min-terviews) with notable ne'er-do-wells ...

When I first was making a decision about whether or not to take job
offers in Toronto and Baltimore I told my grad students in a class at
the Art Institute about the tossup and one of my ...

For the last day of our Countdown min-terviews, we've got some heavy-hitters including Mr Green-skull himself, one of Wham City's patriarchs, Dan ...

-If you plan on attending getting a ticket in advance is highly ...

We're winding down here and it's time for the deluge of min-terviews and more. Today we've got Jana Hunter, DD/MM/YYYY and the Creepers featured.
Jana Hunter
First up is Jana Hunter, fairly recent Texan transplant to Baltimore, serving up some delicious, jangling, startlingly transparent and moving music. She was also ...

Thank You are currently well-poised. SIgned to Thrill Jockey like Arbouretum, Pontiak and so many others, they recently released their J. Robbins-produced latest effort Terrible Two to warm reviews from all the typically curmudgeonly outlets (I'm looking at you Pitchfork).
Their special sauce? A particularly dis-equilibrated, frenzied mix of ...

It approaches. Only 3x24 hrs left and you'll be at the Charles, waiting breathlessly for Matmos while freaking out with Teeth Mountain. Or maybe you'll be seeing a certain caped crusader at midnight.
Whatever.
Today's mini-terview: Dustin Wong of Ponytail. If you haven't already, pick up Ice Cream Spiritual and read our ...
