'Unspeakable', and White Fang in particular, are proof that Bill Frisell shreds and could absolutely melt your face off if he wanted to, but usually chooses not to.
The basic idea is this:
Every month, we find a new act in our local area.
We record a live set from that band, or we work with them to find existing recorded but unreleased material, or we just use their existing released material at their option.
We make new art work. We master the music for cassette, and have the tapes professionally (or semi-professionally, depending on quantity) produced.
We pay the band more than 50% of profit.
We mail tapes and email digital files.
showers
I spent some time at one point replacing sidewalk segments that had been broken by tree roots in the city I was living in, jackhammering out the broken bits and building a simple form, mixing and pouring the concrete, floating and finishing, the whole deal.
The showers I used to take at the end of those days took ten minutes just to get water to my skin.
This shower wasn't that bad, but I definitely brought in more of the outside than usual.
@djsundog well when your boss is literally an S.O.B....
The urgency with which I completed this project, unlike literally every other project I talk about, is solely centered around my dog's desire to play fetch with his bouncy balls while it is not raining for a brief moment in time and I really felt that.

@FiXato are you volunteering to be the one to tell her she can't be a princess?
Trying to break things that need breaking, deliberately and after much reflection, make things in a likewise manner, and generally reshape the various worlds I inhabit to be slightly more habitable.
I'm into music, retrocomputing, people, caring, and thinking about stuff.
Been around a while.
Feel free to ask questions.
