Anachronism Now

I like the smell of old books.

Have you ever heard the sound of 16mm film rolling through a Bolex camera? It sounds like the smell of old books. I can't explain it, but they're the same. I like old books and old movies and old dogs. And Kris Kristofferson. Do you know how Ella Fitzgerald sounds better on vinyl? I mean her voice actually sounds better -

And the sound of a "Y" key being struck on a Remington typewriter - it sounds like the smell of stale cigar smoke that has soaked into the browned linoleum hallways of a battered office building.

I don't know why I like these things.
