I think this my favorite part of this interview with Detroit's best bestest, Omar S, who is seemingly jaded and angry about every facet of making and putting out records, and then in the middle there is this weird nugget:
You have a day job with Ford Motor Company, right?
Yeah, I been there for what, 13 or 14 years now. I certify parts with a marker. That same exact marker that I certify with, I usually take some home, that's what I usually write on my records with, the same exact marker I use at work. I take the markers home, they got like ten different colors. If you see a gold, a grey or a blue—blue is my favorite color marker—those markers come from my job.
