This is the original Klark Kent 7″ released on green vinyl from Kryptone Records in 1978 with “Don’t Care” on the A-side and “Thrills” and “Office Girls” on the b-side. I got hooked on this just after hearing the stellar I.R.S. Greatest Hits Vol. 2 & 3, which included versions of the latter two songs. “Don’t Care” is an okay song, but in my opinion, “Office Girls” and “Thrills” are two of the better songs Stewart Copeland ever wrote, up there with “On Any Other Day” and “Fall Out.” Also interesting since it is Stewart playing all the music, so that quirkiness of style is ever present. The music has great energy and still has some of the punk influence (it was released the same year as Outlandos d’Amour). Here’s a live version of “Don’t Care” with Stewart backed up by a few guys you may recognize in the monkey masks.
You know the art world is in trouble when the two things that attracted the most attention at the Armory Show yesterday were a nude woman who had painted her body and a mechanized talking raven on a tree limb. I actually saw people standing beneath the latter with their mouths agape (I kept hoping the raven would start dropping worms at them), as if they had never seen an automaton before. Walt Disney was smirking somewhere, “You see! Genius!” 
High on Fire Snakes — Snakes for the Divine: Matt Pike and is cohorts never cease to amaze me. Each album gets better and better. Who thought they could top Death is the Communion which had so many strong songs and was also one of the first albums in a long while that brought back the idea of an album – a flow to the track list rather than a loose collection of songs. Somehow they did it. Snakes for the Divine is a better album than its predecessor. There’s a vicious attack to the songs and they’re actually heavier than the tracks on the last record. Yes, heavier. You can’t help but listen in awe of these guys.
Eric Dolphy — Out to Lunch: I’ll give credit for this discovery to Henry Rollins who played the title track from this album on a 
Charles Mingus — The Great Concert of Charles Mingus: Continuing Eric Dolphy appreciation week, here comes another stellar example of his greatness. Another great vinyl find via eBay and sadly also one of the last recordings by Dolphy. This is considered one of the great jazz concerts (or series of concerts as there are tracks from multiple nights) and the tour that cemented Mingus’ reputation in France. For most of the tracks, the group plays as a quintet since trumpeter Johnny Coles collapsed from a stomach ulcer two nights previous. What’s not to like on this one? The almost thirty-minute version of “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat,” the fantastic tribute to Charlie Parker known as “Parkeriana” (where Mingus and the group stand the compositions on their head), and Dolphy’s great performance on “Orange Was the Color of Her Dress.”
The Obsessed — The Church Within: This was the album that broke The Obsessed. It was their first on a major label and their last as a band. Regardless, it’s a stellar album and I still think one of the most underrated heavy albums of all time. Some of Wino’s best compositions are on here including “Protect and Serve,” “Streetside,” and the stellar “Neatz Brigade.” As always, the man’s guitar tone was better than the rest of the planet’s and Guy Pinhas and Greg Rogers provide the perfect rhythm section. Hard to find, but worth the effort.
Darkthrone — Panzerfaust: While this one is not considered as much of a black metal classic (by hardcores at least) as A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Transylvanian Hunger, or Under a Funeral Moon, I always go back to this album for it’s over the top homage to Celtic Frost. Fenriz and Nocturno Culto shifted from being necro and underground to being just over the top heavy and aggressive. And you can still hear the huge influence this album, along with the previous three discs, had on Phil Anselmo’s Superjoint Ritual (which stole its name from “The Pagan Winter” on A Blaze in the Northern Sky).
Monty Python’s Flying Circus — Monty Python’s Previous Record: I’ve been on a bit of a Monty Python kick after watching the six episode “Almost the Truth” documentary and starting to read through Michael Palin’s diaries from the Python Years. I recently digitized all of my Monty Python vinyl and this one still stands out as my favorite. Mostly because the new material written for the record is so damn funny, including “Embarrassment” and “Australian Table Wines.” Also, this one is a nice improvement over the first album, released by the BBC (and the only record the Python’s don’t own the rights to), which was recorded live in front of a very lethargic audience.
Miles Davis — Miles Smiles: For some reason, I never quite ‘got’ the second Miles Davis quintet. Maybe it was because it lead into Miles fusion period which took me a while to get into as well. Or perhaps it was because the second quintet with Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, and Wayne Shorter stood in the shadow of the first great quintet with John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and Cannonball Adderley. Regardless, at some point, this album finally clicked for me, and every once in a blue moon I go back to it, usually in winter for some reason — maybe it’s the complexity of the compositions. There is a great energy to this lineup, especially in Tony Williams drumming and Herbie Hancock’s fluid-yet-complex playing style which I grow more in awe of over the years. “Circle” still ranks up there with my favorite tracks by Miles.
Dishammer — Vintage Addiction: After hearing Dishammer’s split 7″ with the Warwolves, I scored this gem on vinyl from Hell’s Headbangers (via Parasitic Records mail order). So much heavy d-beat goodness here. Four Spaniards channeling all their love of Motörhead, Discharge, and Entombed into one stellar album. Most of the songs clock in at 2 minutes or less, with only a few stretching to what would be considered epic for Dishammer at 3-4 minutes. There’s no letup. Dishammer just pummels you with pure hypercharged energy one song after another. 
What can one say about this amazing gem I found at Monster Melodies in Paris. It’s my favorite
