Nostalgia. It's an oddly large part of our lives — from Instagram filters to movies to retro fashions and vinyl records and the off-the-grid movement. In our digital lives, nothing really exists, and the want of things that actually occupy physical space in the real world is reaching a level of need in our modern civilization. Nerdwriter looks at nostalgia through the lens of Mandy, a film by director Panos Cosmatos, and how he uses grain to convey a sense of place in his films.

Big Boi at the NPR Tiny Desk

Big Boi, one half of Atlanta rap supergroup OutKast, stopped by NPR's Tiny Desk for a few songs, both old and new. He brought Sleepy Brown of the Atlanta production crew Organized Noize, along with an eight-member backing band. The pair has been making music for over 20 years, and they're still charting hits.

Jack Archer Jetsetter Tech Pants

Long gone are the days of stiff, wrinkled chinos. Modern pants are cut from a different (better) cloth, and Jack Archer's Jetsetter Tech Pants are a prime example. Crafted from premium Rebound fabric sourced from Japan, they're stretchy, wrinkle-free, anti-odor, and stain-resistant, making them great for travel. The fit provides room where it's needed but is slim where it's not, and is enhanced by a diamond-shaped gusset that prevents tightness in the crotch and the curved-waist design that provides a lift to the backside. Built with premium stitching, they also feature a zippered coin pocket and hidden reflective tape that's only revealed when they're cuffed. Now available in two cuts: the original, best-selling Slim Fit and the new Straight Fit, which offer a roomier fit from the knee down.

The KilgourMD Bundle

Stanford dermatologist Dr. James Kilgour's eponymous hair growth brand, KilgourMD, has been shown to outperform the popular minoxidil, which only works to regrow hair once it's gone. The KilgourMD Bundle, however, puts patients on the offensive, too, providing a dual-acting proactive and reactive solution to hair thinning and hair loss. In clinical studies, the system — which is made from natural, plant-derived extracts and comprises The Prevention Scalp Serum and The Treatment — decreased visible hair fall by up to 30% and stimulated hair follicle growth by up to 200% over two months. Save 15% when bundling.
