Music Video: I Love The Library

 

I have three more videos from What's Your Flow Setting, Baby?  This is the first of them.  After this album, I suspect it will only be a video or two an album.  It's almost 2026, and I'm still working on videos from a 2022 album.  Clearly, I won't have time to make a video for each song on an album.  That's OK.  Back in the MTV era, bands typically only did a video or two from an album; primarily, because videos were expensive.  Mine are no budget, so cost is not a constraint.  Time apparently is, however.  They are fun to make though.  I tried to enlist my old pal Mark Justice to play a role in this one, but we weren't able to schedule it, so I played the role myself.  With luck, we'll get to enlist Mark in a future video.

Fall 2025 Hoof & Antler!

I wrote two articles for The Hoof & Antler this quarter, one on high school football and one on farming turkeys.  If you couldn't guess from the subject matter, it's the fall issue, and you can find it for free at your local Mickey Mart.  If you don't live near a Mickey Mart, then there has been talk of selling some back issues online on their Website.  It's a fun paper, and they've been basically "selling out", so grab one soon if you want one.  Maybe someday the editor will collect the issues in a book, but right now the focus is still on getting the newspaper out every quarter, so that might be a while if ever.

If you want to read something you can get everywhere, then get my new novel, The Front Yard War.

Frighty #3

  

The new Frighty is out.  Before I post the link, remember this zine is designed to be printed.  Reading online or otherwise electronically is not recommended.  The Internet is just being used as a distribution method because we're too cheap to pay for postage and printing.  When you print it, print it doublesided, mark it "flip on short edge"--let's repeat that so no one prints half the pages upside down; once again, flip on short edge--, fold it, staple it if you feel ambitious (to anyone who doesn't have a long stapler, you can do this with any stapler you flip open, you just have to staple the zine into a phone book or something, then pull it out and use a pencil or something to roll over and flatten the raised staple edges down--if that makes no sense, then somebody on YouTube probably has a video showing how to do it or just ask me and I'll show you how; just don't get a boo-boo doing it and use a rubber band or some other binding instead if you're worried you will), and you're good to go.  You can make copies if you want others to read it; we don't care.  Just don't sell them unless you're sending the money beyond printing it to us.

The issue was fun as usual, so we'll be doing #4 in the winter.  Thanks again to everyone who helped with this one!  Here's the link for printing/downloading:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RVQ3SL9yDklqNowKdEmYlwk7EKgF6BIQ/view?usp=drive_link

Fallout Shelter Ran Out Of Beer On Spotify

The new album, Fallout Shelter Ran Out Of Beer, is on Spotify, so presumably it's now available everywhere else digital music is found.  If you give it a listen, you might double my monthly listeners.  I like the album; it's fun.  Based on the Spotify Wred Fright radio, which always amuses me, if you like musical artists such as Pavement, Modest Mouse, The Weirdos, Joy Division, Spacemen 3, Swell Maps, Nobunny, Flipper, and other obscure indie rockers (all of which sounds about right, so not bad for a computer algorithm), then you'll enjoy the album.  I didn't use artificial intelligence since human intelligence was messy enough, thank you.  Presumably, the reason it took so long to get uploaded was that the distributor is increasingly having to sort through artificial intelligence generated releases, but that's just a guess.  I've heard some interesting mashups from AI such as Minor Threat being played in soul style, so the technology shows promise, but I'd rather stick to playing the old-fashioned way at the moment as it is more fun.  It's kind of funny though that when I started playing solo as Wred Fright, coming out of the GoGoBots, I had some fun pretending to be a robot musician, a musical machine friend or something, and now the musical machine friends are really here.
