how would you describe fred’s evolving musical journey, especially how the old trilogy stacks up with this recent year of USB and 9 months & 50 hours?

the older stuff is very much an exploration on building stories, quotes and people creating a feeling and environment to me while the latest stuff feels to be more musical forward but still using/exploring the voice as more of another instrument.

the colors of the albums also fits very well. the black and white and abstract covers also fits his changes these past few years.

curious what everyone’s take is! my partner who loved fred passed away after the albums: actual life and I often imagine what i’d tell him about his new music 🥹

it’s a massive 4-5 story building and I had a chance to walk around it by myself. the eeriest part was that all the lights had occupancy sensors so everything would be dark until I walked near. most of the time you’d have no clue where you are. it was like a labyrinth at times and then suddenly a giant open floor.

I got lost several times where it took a good 10 mins to find the stairs and then i’d be lost again! so many animals in the ceiling and weird sounds.

we didn’t have much money growing up but one summer, there was a going out of business sale and he got this grill for half off. after many years of use and a few moves, it was in disrepair. I kept it and then gave it to a friend who moved and then I had it again. this grill sat out back by my shed rusting and collecting leaves.

well after 25 years, I fixed it up and we are grilling again on it! and my dad will be coming to the inaugural grilling!

before. during and after!

and the process:

I completely disassembled it down to a bare frame. took many photos and videos along the way to not forget.

I had to order a new set of grates, bars, igniters, burner tubes, propane adapter and some misc bolts.

power washed as best as I could. sanded the crap out of everything with a heavy duty wire brush on a power drill plus a palm sander. took off all the old enamel.

then I started painting it with a spray paint appliance enamel for body and a high temp paint for outside of the fire box. that took the longest part. had to paint and sometimes start over and start sanding again.

then just assembly! it was great fun tbh.

saw this on IG today. I love how it’s mostly the new buildings in nyc. truly breathtaking!

so the circle portion is easy but the egg portion is tough. I was going to make a grid and put some dimension and radii to it. thoughts?

thanks !

I thought it might be a brachiopod but it has a weird shape.

went fossil hunting for the first time and found these! not sure what the first 2 are. they looks almost like spores. I know it’s from a devonian period
