I was unable to secure my Auchentoshan so I went with the Glenfidditch 30 year. Tom Send a noteboard - 28/03/2012 01:17:29 AM
A good whisky definitely completes the Mad Men feel.

The yé-yé number "Zou Bisou Bisou" was released on iTunes, and I ended up wandering through lots of crap to find something called Psychorama Français, which I liked a LOT better - acid music from the late 1960s along the lines of "Incense and Peppermint" or, really, anything from Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane. The lyrics were pretty messed up for some of the songs, too, which was a pleasant surprise.

I did end up downloading a couple of the fluffy yé-yé songs for a "Summer Mix" that I have for cookouts when the weather is nice - they fit the mood (along with a great German-language version of "Downtown" which is just hilarious). I could easily see, however, that if that had never gone away where I live I would already hate or even loathe it.

I then ended up, somehow, at an album that purported to be a very academically researched attempt at reconstructing music from the ancient world and realized I needed to stop before I ended up buying more than $300 of music on iTunes in one day (yeah, this was one of those days when none of my clients got back to me - tomorrow will probably be Hell as a result). I'm tempted to post an odd survey on MP3 collections as a result.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

It really looks like no one watches Mad Men based on the absence of discussion. - 27/03/2012 02:44:01 PM 861 Views
I've only watched the first two series. - 27/03/2012 05:42:47 PM 506 Views
I intend to, at some point. Though as Stephen notes, the DVDs are expensive. *NM* - 27/03/2012 06:13:04 PM 229 Views
People buy DVDs? I thought everything was streaming or Blu-Ray now. - 27/03/2012 06:15:07 PM 550 Views
Also, I think they're streaming on Netflix *NM* - 27/03/2012 06:18:12 PM 273 Views
I'm still hoping Blu-Ray will go the way of the betacam. - 28/03/2012 10:38:22 PM 616 Views
It won't. - 29/03/2012 01:29:52 AM 552 Views
I don't watch my DVDs on a TV. *NM* - 30/03/2012 08:52:27 PM 246 Views

Yes, I just assumed 1080p. - 31/03/2012 05:55:13 AM 534 Views
What type of monitor are you using? - 31/03/2012 05:11:38 AM 634 Views
I also refused to take this step for a long time - 29/03/2012 03:46:59 PM 677 Views
No you don't. - 30/03/2012 01:40:57 PM 787 Views
Oh well. You knew what I meant. - 30/03/2012 08:55:10 PM 510 Views

It was Mad Men being Mad Men, albeit funnier than usual. - 27/03/2012 11:07:18 PM 600 Views
That's true. - 28/03/2012 12:00:36 AM 591 Views
I'm not surprised about the ratings. - 28/03/2012 01:18:34 AM 590 Views
I do - 28/03/2012 12:51:11 AM 691 Views

I've only checked out the first couple of episodes. - 28/03/2012 05:30:25 AM 608 Views
I watched the pilot. - 28/03/2012 02:04:17 PM 656 Views
I've chosen to watch the much inferior Pan Am. Hey, at least they're hot. *NM* - 29/03/2012 10:06:48 PM 272 Views
Totally. *NM* - 30/03/2012 08:55:47 PM 241 Views
Word. *NM* - 30/03/2012 09:34:31 PM 239 Views
Didn't they cancel that show after 3 episodes or something? *NM* - 30/03/2012 11:40:57 PM 235 Views
Not quite, but it does appear to be cancelled - 31/03/2012 05:06:45 AM 743 Views
Aw. Oh well. It wasn't exactly the best show ever, granted. *NM* - 31/03/2012 02:00:06 PM 244 Views
A while before X-mas, one of the leads... - 31/03/2012 03:38:33 PM 655 Views
