Behold the horror of the 1973 Sears Catalog
Ever hear a nice tune from the early 70s and imagine or feel nostalgia for that era? Well, this will cure you of that nonsense. Behold the horror that was the 1973 Sears catalog. Browse if you dare: 1973 catalog courtesy of the wonderful Lileks Site.
That first moment that sought to document an act, an idea, a presence, an existence, a deity... that initial spark of creativity born of desire to intensify experience, enhance a space, beautify a body, paint a cave wall, decorate a tool... that first shuffling of utterances, that first gesture, that first rhythm, that first song... that was when we truly became human. --Kevin
