Michael O'Brien & John Elk - How To Speak Modern - Gamera Records GR - 001 - 1980

From the record: "this is a primer for the new language for modern living for English speaking people who want to be understood by and talk to punk rockers, art students, computer programmers, and generally speaking, the avant-garde." The liner notes state that this is "inspired by and dedicated to Del Close & John Brent," for their How To Speak Hip record of 1961. The liner notes also credit the "music on punk & new wave by Spys © 1980."
