Places to Avoid
-- Bloggers will clog JP's Centre Street tonight as Bella Luna hosts "Blogger's Lounge," an evening of self-reflexive discursion in which everybody will have a laptop. God, we hope not. In all likelihood, meet a lot of outgoing, oversharing Bostonians with an undying passion for the internet. Multiple Bostonists to be on hand. Bella Luna, 405 Centre St., Jamaica Plain, 6:30 p.m. Free with reservation. Email bostonblogevents@gmail.com.
Music
-- Jana Hunter lives in Baltimore now, but she's still a Texan to Bostonist. Hunter's the type of performer who got stuck with a label that she neither courted nor deserved. Widely known as a "freak folk" artist after cutting a double LP with Devendra Banhart, Hunter has an incredible stylistic range. She can swing a country ballad as easily as she can tack together a noise collage. The one constant? Houston's muddy, languorous Buffalo Bayou is never far from her guitar tone. T.T. the Bear's Place, 10 Brookline St., Cambridge, 9:15 p.m. $8.
Movies
-- The Brattle's Bette Davis retrospective is beginning to wind down, with a pair of dramas from the 1960s, both directed by Robert Aldrich. What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) might offer a vision of the future for the Lohan sisters; Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964, before Hollywood had normalized punctuation), is an absolutely creepy film in which there is not a single redeeming character. Brilliant. Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St., Cambridge. Tickets and showtimes.
