Brûlé Brief Revisited

Tyler Brûlé returns to form this week in his Financial Times weekend column, after a tiresome pair of columns devoted to his diet and his fantasy Tokyo work and living spaces.

We're relieved. We thought that possibly Tyler had become so distracted by his ungodly wealth that he had lost his ability to do what he does best: Offer pithy comments on subjects of style, urban organization, aesthetics, and branding, all in the name of letting us know what's ahead of the curve.

In this weekend's column, Tyler devotes himself to an appreciation of senior service people, a sweet ode to what is very possibly a dying breed of extremely knowledgeable professionals. From here he turns to one of his most enjoyable pastimes: product exaltation. In this weekend's column we get Japanese band M-Flo (pictured above, keepin' it real), Wilkinson Ginger Ale, Spanish newspaper design, and Orobianco bags, among other consumer joys.

We suggest following legal music download channels and adding M-Flo's "Taste Your Stuff" to your playlists. If that stomping chorus isn't an invitation to freak out on the dancefloor, there may be something wrong with you.
