Wu-Tang: Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) / $24
If Dr. Dre and Ice Cube were Martin Scorsese taking the genre by storm, Wu-Tang was Quentin Tarantino, dripping in a raw, unapologetic, funk. A parental advisory sticker wouldn’t do justice, as one click on the stereo and anything that was in the tape deck before would instantly light on fire, soaked in lighter fluid, and cut to shreds with a Samurai sword. This album on vinyl bangs harder than a round of bullets in Reservoir dogs. Now give it up for the distorted, unpressentant sound from the boys of Staten Island.

Langdon Clay: Cars / $61
For two years, in the 70’s Langdon Clay photographed cars he saw while galavanting the streets of New York. Shot in Kodachrome with a Leica, the shots detail the vehicles against gritty backgrounds.
“I experienced a conversion of sorts in making a switch from the ‘decisive moment’ of black and white to the marvel of color, a world I was waking up to every day,” Clay writes of this work. “At the time it seemed like an obvious and natural transition. What was less obvious was how to reflect my world of New York City in color … I discovered that night was its own color and I fell for it.”
