http://Mad Man on Vanity Fair, sep 2009 article
Entering its third season on a fresh wave of Emmy nominations, AMC’s Mad Men is the most stylish—and perhaps best—show on television. Inside its meticulous reconstruction of the precipice that was New York advertising circa 1960, where the men and women of Sterling Cooper smoke, drink, love, and lie, the author learns about the struggle of Mad Men creator (and former Sopranos writer) Matthew Weiner, the casting of Jon Hamm and January Jones as Don and Betty Draper, and the obsession that fuels each episode. Photographs by Annie Leibovitz.

Deacon Blue - “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again/Dignity” medley, live in 2007
07/11/2009
“I know so rarely that things come your way
Your ways are tender and your paths are straight
Your mind’s not lived in the way ours are set
Your heart is open to love and regretRings and letters they pass you by
”
You wish them well and seldom cry
For stones and promises and wedding sighs
You’ve known the times that you’ve lived and died
— Deacon Blue (“Love and Regret”)

Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don’t care about you
It’s Friday, I’m in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn’t even start
It’s Friday I’m in love
I don’t care if Mondays black
Tuesday, Wednesday - heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It’s Friday, I’m in love
Monday, you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday - watch the walls instead
It’s Friday, I’m in love.

The Bible - “Honey Be Good” One of my favourite songs ever!
“On a day like today
I’ll believe anything you say
Who’ll be there
When your heart hits the ground?
Now that I’m not around
Be good, and if you can’t be good
Be good at being bad like
Every girl should
Oh honey be good”

Deacon Blue - “Loaded” (1987)
Aptly titled, this song is about the days glaswegian Deacon Blue went down to London to sign their first contract and the music execs were all fancy restaurants, expensive clothes and “there were gold AmEx cards flying all over the place”.
Some of their bewilderment could be traced in the music vid, with gap-toothed cutie Ricky Ross, the angelic Lorraine MacIntosh and the boys wandering around London, wide-eyeing everything.

“This is what you do on your very first day in Paris.
You get yourself some rain, not just a drizzle but honest-to-goodness rain.
Then you find yourself someone really nice, and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi.
The rain’s very important, because that’s when Paris smells its sweetest.
It’s the damp chestnut trees, you see.”
Audrey Hepburn, from “Sabrina”.
