Thrifty Times #1
Full disclosure: I produce a weekly radio show called Radio
Thrift Shop & some of the music I play is from LPs, cds and tapes I’ve
stumbled upon in … yes, thrift shops! My only regret is there are damned few
thrift shops within my typical travel range here in New Hampshire - the only
city within a 25 mile radius is Concord NH and there are precious few thrift
shops in Concord.
Before I read Thrifty
Times #1, I knew I’d enjoy this zine & I was not disappointed.
Sarah starts off the premier issue describing a Garfield (the comic strip cat) telephone. She
also muses about why there is an abundance of cassette tapes at thrift stores (note:
cassettes are slowly becoming my music medium of choice – again!). We learn
what a tanuki is & are treated to a selection of Better Homes & Gardens
Cookbooks from the 1960s, plus a record review of Herb Alpert’s Going Places (a classic!). Completely
delightful. Thrifty Times is currently on its eighth issue and going strong. My
advice: subscribe now, and happy thrifting.
