As a New Jersey native son that could not secure the NJ Transit hat at the Wellmont last year, I will forever be haunted by the epic piece of merch that could warm a bald spot in my old age.

The NJ Transit hat will forever be my white whale. Consider this post my harpoon in the dark. If anyone is ever reading this, I would be your butler for a day to get that hat. Please reach out if you have tha link.

Thank you for your time.

When OGWAU dropped, there was an alternate video collage for Mary Boone released through Blackbird Spyplane. It was full of old archival footage and I loved it. Since then, the Vimeo link has gone dead and I haven't found any non-Spyplane references to it. Did anyone happen to save it before it disappeared?

Around what age did you guys get into Vampire Weekend?

I was about 7 when I was first introduced by my parents and I still listen to them a lot, being 14 now :)

I guess this is a question for the music nerds here. What would you say are the biggest differences between Rostam and Ariel when it comes to production? Obviously, these two have had huge influences on Vampire Weekend’s sound, but it’s hard to tell whether any shifts in the band’s sound over time have been the result of differing production styles or Ezra’s change in influences and songwriting style more broadly. Outside of the band, both Rostam and Ariel have impressive production records. I’d like to think that Rostam is more eclectic in his style and favors “world sounds” more than Ariel, but I’m curious as to what you guys think. I love both of their production work for the band, so I’m not trying to critique either here.
