100 Flowers — "Strip Club" from 100 Flowers (1983)

Listening to this album (well, the 1990 Rhino compilation 100 Years of Pulchritude that includes this album and the Presence of Mind and Drawing Fire EPs) for the first time in a few years, and man if I ever got a band together, I'd love to cover this track. There's just something about it.

5/9/23.

Red Asphalt were a high school "straight edge" band in Southern California - San Clemente specifically. In my mind, they're notable because they're a piece of the musical journey of George Carpenter of The Clog. The Clog's 7" dominated my listening in 2019. Back then I mentioned how The Clog sounded like a cross between Ty Segall and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.

Red Asphalt definitely has a similar feel. The cassette (mastered by Mikey Young) is a bit of auditory whiplash - going from sludgey screamo to lo-fi indie (think Pavement), to gentle picking. Really, this sounds like this could have been an early Flying Nun band (listen to "J2" - sounds like it could have been The Clean). Finally, I'll throw in The Urinals/100 Flowers as a Southern California reference point.

San Francisco based tape label Discontinuous Innovation just released this cassette in April 2023. The label has an impressive catalogue.

Original 1982 flyer for On Broadway in San Francisco- the legendary Gun Club on the 21st, then a killer lineup for August 28 with The Mutants, Middle Class, Red Cross (before they were sued and had to change their name to Redd Kross), and 100 Flowers.

There are ten trillion pictures of flowering trees to the point where they sometimes seem trite and overdone. But then you see a tree in full flower and go holy shit this rules and I've gotta show this to everyone so they can experience the same magic and wonder and there are ten trillion and one pictures of flowering trees

There's no such thing as overpreparing for love.

Happy (late) Rarijack Valentine's.

It's hard keeping up with memes when you're a fairy, and also a walrus. She doesn't know what's going on but she's pretty sure people are inviting her to knock on their door
