NEGATIVE APPROACH // LIVE 1983 (DETROIT)
Flyer by Gary Panter
Torture Garden - Naked City
This was the first album I ever bought on vinyl. $20 used. On top of the music just being full out insane and wonderful, the album art is beautiful and dark as well as just looking at how tight and plentiful the grooves were on the record itself was a treat. This and Kick Out the Jams by the MC5 are the two records I miss the most from the ones that got really messed up by the house fire we had two or so years ago. I will have it in my collection again one day.
I got this thing about listening to musicians with impossibly dense discographies. Zorn’s is about as dense and ridiculous as it gets. Every few years I gotta dig in a little more.
“Even at 71-years-old Peter Brötzmann is more hardcore than most every musician you think is hardcore…To watch him perform is to fear for his safety. His head turns the brightest red and almost seems to pulsate. He has famously burst blood vessels in his forehead and broken a rib during performance. A rib. He broke his own rib while playing saxophone!”
So I’d get to see the Dicks AND drink free soda?? Why the fuck wasn’t I born sooner??

AVON LADIES AVON LADIES 7” (DISTORT39 / FIR???)
Avon Ladies were the result of 5 people coming together from different bands of noteriety: Destruction Unit, The Elders, Gay Kiss, h100’s, Upstab, The Ruiners. 5 people with behavioral problems who played loud music and somehow managed to release a few analog recordings and do a tour. This is their second 7” record. They’ve now broken up. Life is full of excitement and wonder.
Just got this in the mail today. Ugly ugly music.
