Has anyone else noticed a regression in cultural consumerism? I'm not talking about the reintroduction of the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger cars.
I bought a record player and find myself listening to my old records more. I really like the tactile experience of flipping the record over, or playing side one again. It forces me to reflect on the 4 - 5 songs I just heard and whether I want o hear them again, or hear the rest of an album.
I started using a shaving cream (in a tube) from Trader Joe's versus a canned foam or gel. My razor is still a multi blade (harrys.com) but apparently there's a retro movement to single blade safety razors or straight-edge and lather.
I went to the SF Garden Show today and there was a booth selling straw/wicker brooms because they were sturdier and more effective than modern plastic brooms. They were selling like non-frozen hotcakes.
Interesting stuff.
