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.

There is a motherfucking SpongeBob episode called "Yellow Pavement" and it's framed as a boating safety film with a lot of slapstick violence and I gotta say the one piece of media I never expected SpongeBob to reference is MOTHERFUCKING RED ASPHALT

What kind of movies do you think Avalon acts in (genres, tropes, etc.)?

ooooh this is such a good question!!!!!

Avalon will take a role in anything so long as it sounds interesting or fun to make, no matter the genre, but he tends to gravitate more towards comedies and dramas, especially romcoms and dramadies. also maybe its the Dad in him, but he loves acting in children's media.

in more broader terms he just really likes being in films that are uplifting, whether its because theyre fun and lighthearted, or because theyre about the good shining through darkness. he likes being in movies that have hope in them, you know?

also cowboy stuff. ik thats vague but hes So cowboy.

his favorite types of characters to play are "has seen The Horrors but still tries to be positive no matter what" and "gruff tough man adopts child and becomes soft" and also drag queens

his least favorite/most hated genre is inspiration porn. he cannot stand being in it, and he can't stand even watching it. he usually turns down roles like those as he feels fetishized by it. the closest thing he's ever done to something like it was a story written and directed by someone who has a similar disability to his own, based off of their own personal experience. and by "closest" i mean it wasn't at all. also it was more of a surf movie than anything.

also while he loves being in comedies, he absolutely hates being in movies that make a point of making fun of his weight or ethnicity or disablity or sexuality. specifically the kinds of movies that are like "BEHOLD. A FAT MAN. LAUGH NOW." like come on give it some fucking substance. he can take a joke those just aren't jokes

RCD!Avalon kinda hates being in action movies, but that's because he's burnt out on them. specifically, he's burnt out from doing them basically nonstop while in contract with Montmartre. he liked them at first (his biggest issues with them not coming from the filming but his experiences w Montmartre himself) but they quickly got repetitive, and then after they got repetitive they got uninteresting and-more importatly- downright stressful to make, what with having to act in greenscreen rooms with the most barebones ass sets and only being given his lines (and only his lines, so he was missing half the context) maybe an hour and a half before fliming. he'd show up to set hungover a lot. but like he'd still be professional on set, but when he wasn't in a scene he'd be kinda quiet and tired and keep to himself :( very unlike him but tbh not many people he spent time around knew that bc they didn't know him before, or they didnt know him very well before

sorry i didn't mean to go on a rant about the stuff he doesn't like there lol

Does everyone have to watch a literal real life gore film/snuff film before their high school lets them drive on campus or was my school just really fucked up

[muddlemore]

"Before the Devil Knows We're Dead" came on the radio and i was briefly forced to drive the speed limit until i could weave my way into a clear lane. pretty sure that's some sort of hate crime
