Since 1 May 2009, I’ve been keeping a note of which baseball cap I’ve worn every day.
If I wore more than one cap during a day, I’ve represented the one worn for the most time.

“The day after he recorded “Think Twice,” for Welcome to Detroit, I look at the drum set, and I was like, “Wait, you recorded that on this?” And it was the most dingiest, dirtiest, not even second-hand. [It] looked like the Fat Albert junkyard gang drum set. Screws were missing; some of the heads were broken. Matter of fact, he didn’t even use real drumsticks on “Think Twice.” He used a vibraphone mallet, and he had a broken drumstick that he got some toilet paper from the bathroom, and some rubber bands. I was like, “You would rather go through this MacGuyver shit than buy new drumsticks?” He’s like, “I didn’t know where to get ’em this late at night; I had to make due.” I was like, “Well, why did you hit the drums with the mallet?” He was like, “I didn’t want the dynamic to be too aggressive. I wanted to sound muted, so I decided to play the drums with the soft cotton mallet.” It looked like putting a marshmallow at the end of a toothpick [Laughs]. Next thing I know, I’m now flying to Philadelphia—I think the next week, [to work on] The Roots’ Phrenology record [and] I tracked both “Quills” and “Pussy Galore” the same way. I went and got some orchestra mallets, and then I too started, just ’cause I seen how he got that sound.”

Now that the New Era NFL contract has kicked in (you could see some of the new product being used at the Pro Bowl), i’m excited to see some throwback Seahawks fitteds. I’ve been waiting patiently for the above Seahawks logo to be retro’d onto a New Era fitted - hopefully sooner than later.

Souleverlift recently asked me what was up with my fitted game, well here you go brother, I copped this last week. I also have the 30th anniversary patch fitted that I got over a year ago.

These Gore-Tex 5950s are dope, but only available for certain teams. These make those Jay-Z blueprint fitteds look stupid.

Saw this on Strictly Fitteds, promoting the Birmingham (London, not Alabama) New Era flagship store. Note the Seattle Pilots in a red/gold/white colorway. Since it’s only exclusive to that store, I must have it. Yes, I have problems.

Hawaii FITTED released this now sold-out snapback that represented a local school. It also jacks the UW “W” logo, which is cool. I would’ve preferred this as a fitted instead.

Marc Jacobs x New Era. The back kinda ruins it for me, should of been a more subtle design for that.
