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 854 Views
I've only watched the first two series. - 27/03/2012 05:42:47 PM 497 Views
I intend to, at some point. Though as Stephen notes, the DVDs are expensive. *NM* - 27/03/2012 06:13:04 PM 226 Views
People buy DVDs? I thought everything was streaming or Blu-Ray now. - 27/03/2012 06:15:07 PM 544 Views
Also, I think they're streaming on Netflix *NM* - 27/03/2012 06:18:12 PM 271 Views
I'm still hoping Blu-Ray will go the way of the betacam. - 28/03/2012 10:38:22 PM 609 Views
It won't. - 29/03/2012 01:29:52 AM 546 Views
I don't watch my DVDs on a TV. *NM* - 30/03/2012 08:52:27 PM 244 Views

Yes, I just assumed 1080p. - 31/03/2012 05:55:13 AM 528 Views
What type of monitor are you using? - 31/03/2012 05:11:38 AM 630 Views
I also refused to take this step for a long time - 29/03/2012 03:46:59 PM 668 Views
No you don't. - 30/03/2012 01:40:57 PM 777 Views
Oh well. You knew what I meant. - 30/03/2012 08:55:10 PM 502 Views

It was Mad Men being Mad Men, albeit funnier than usual. - 27/03/2012 11:07:18 PM 595 Views
That's true. - 28/03/2012 12:00:36 AM 582 Views
I'm not surprised about the ratings. - 28/03/2012 01:18:34 AM 583 Views
I do - 28/03/2012 12:51:11 AM 681 Views

I've only checked out the first couple of episodes. - 28/03/2012 05:30:25 AM 601 Views
I watched the pilot. - 28/03/2012 02:04:17 PM 649 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 270 Views
Totally. *NM* - 30/03/2012 08:55:47 PM 239 Views
Word. *NM* - 30/03/2012 09:34:31 PM 237 Views
Didn't they cancel that show after 3 episodes or something? *NM* - 30/03/2012 11:40:57 PM 230 Views
Not quite, but it does appear to be cancelled - 31/03/2012 05:06:45 AM 732 Views
Aw. Oh well. It wasn't exactly the best show ever, granted. *NM* - 31/03/2012 02:00:06 PM 240 Views
A while before X-mas, one of the leads... - 31/03/2012 03:38:33 PM 646 Views
