1979-2006: A HipHop Odyssey – 800 Tracks in 48 Minutes!
800 hip hop songs from 1979 to 2006 mixed by DJ Jaguar Skills and hosted by Lord Basis Supreme. This mix is truly amazing – for any old school hiphop head this is like… overload, really! But in a good way. Before you even have time to think that you wish you could hear more of a few seconds of a song, it’s on to another great tune. This is a really unique and mind-blowing trip through hiphop, for the true school heads only.

Sneaker Collection Update
Today I added five new pairs of sneakers to my little sneaker website: Supra Skytop Gold, Nike Dunk Low “Grunge,” Court Force Low Premium “Nordic Pack,” Nike Seagle Oncore 6.0, Nike Stab “Vegas”, and some German Army surplus sneakers from the 1970’s that were made by Adidas on the downlow.

Today my “sneaker game” just got tighter than a emo kid’s jeans. Peep game – The Supra SkyTop:

My Sneaker Collection
Last summer I had a little free time so I wrote up a quick-n’-dirty website about my sneaker collection, cataloging all the sneakers I had collected by then. Since then, I think I’ve only bought maybe one or two more pairs, so this is still pretty useful. It’s strictly HTML, written from scratch in Notepad.

Dunk Mid Linoleum
It’s been a long, long winter this year and Nike didn’t make it any better by failing to drop any impressive new Dunks since last fall.
Now they’re making up for it, bringing out a whole bunch of hot new kicks. These are some of my favorites so far – the “Linoleum Crew Pack.”
Although these originally debuted in January, I just discovered them a few days ago. I haven’t seen a pair of Dunk Mids I’ve wanted until I saw these.
Like the Dontrelle Willis Mids, these Dunks manage to be high-profile without going over the top into clown-shoe Bapeland. The white-and-tan-lasered design reminds me of the Crooks & Castles chain-gang design, which is a good thing. You can’t go wrong with a combo of red, white, black, and tan. I’m also feeling the Linoleum Pack’s hoodies and jackets, which use the same print and are apparently made from cashmere. More pics after the jump…

Tank Driver’s Hat!
A couple weeks ago I saw an older lady in the lobby of the building I work in, on her way to one of the art galleries that are housed in it. She was wearing a really awesome winter hat that caught my eye. I looked closer and realized that it was a tank driver’s helmet, thanks to the fact that I’m a major geek when it comes to military history. So, I got my Ebay on and sought ought a similar helmet. This is the one I settled on:
The helmet has a padded leather shell with genuine fleece inside. Raised pads on the top and front protect your noggin from the constant bumping around the steel interior of a T-52 or T-72 tank.
Underneath the ear flaps are heavy-duty headphones that plug into the tank’s intercom system. I removed them from the hat in order to get a more streamlined look to it. It took about 20 minutes and a razor to cut the stitching.
The particular hat pictured is the actual one I bought from Ebay for about $60. It’s an East German Army version, an authentic Cold War relic.
It’s more rare than the Russian M60 variant, but I preferred it because it has three pads with one positioned in the center. The Russian one has four pads and is not quite as striking. I think it’s about 30 years old, and I’m going to have the leather re-conditioned and the flaps sewn down by a professional tailor soon. It’s a real bad-ass winter hat, and although it’s getting warm now as spring hits NYC, I’m gonna rock it next winter.
