The Retro Future of Records

If you're in or anywhere near Austin right now you know that SXSW is going on. It totally takes over the city. And if you're a giant nerd like me, SXSW Interactive is where the action is at.

I first learned about this perfect mix of future and retro thanks to SXSWi.

A 3D printed record. It's future technology to create retro media, and I love it.

I keep a record player in the house to keep the mid-century vibe going, and because I own plenty of records to play on it. And because in the back of my head I'm still planning on hosting an uber-swank retro-inspired cocktail party where I play all said records as background music. Maybe someday I'll be printing my own records in the study and playing them in the living room for guests.
