Over the past few years, analog goods including physical books, board games and, of course, vinyl records have experienced a surprising resurgence – despite the fact that these technologies are functionally obsolete.

The conventional wisdom is that nostalgia is to blame for this twee trend: Millenials, hipsters or that most-coveted demographic, the millennial hipster, are indulging in some perverse Wes Anderson fantasy.
