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.
