Is there an easy way to post Youtube videos? ie - it seems like it's possible on some boards to just use something like videoid.

Looks like at least some of the clothes they use are the real thing (or very good reproductions), http://www.vintagestylefiles.com/vintage_style_files/2008/09/dress-worn-in-episode-7-mad-men-series.html

It's one of Rafael Lozano-Hammer themes.

I've got "Strange Boutique" only, still like it (I haven't seen through it yet), the cover is a thing of beauty (like Eyeless in Gaza's "Caught in Flux"), One of those bands that were nice enough (like ie The Comsat Angels:who Simon Armitage for some reason thinks is the best band ever -...

It's not what I wrote. I said he started sucking as in going downhill, that I like his barfly stuff better than his more progressive stuff is preference. It's not what I wrote is it? You are putting words in my mouth. Not addressed to me I guess. I think he did what he had to do, not because...

I'll stand up for the old Tom. Waits only started sucking when he became "quirky" and student friendly and an artiste singing from the inside of a concrete blender. Before that he only had 154 fans (to paraphrase a piece in a Norwegian rag when he became slightly more known). The late 70s/early...

Kubrick's lost movie, "The Aryan Papers" And then there's this "The movie may have been abandoned but audiences will at least have the chance to experience the "ghost" of The Aryan Papers through a new installation by the Turner Prize-nominated artists Jane and Louise Wilson, which will be...

Poodle Springs/Raymond Chandler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poodle_Springs Not sure if this counts as it was started by Chandler and finished by some other guy almost 40 years later (well it should). I read it when it came out, but have forgotten all about what I think/thought about it...

The Beeb has the full low down on the style aspect, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7875453.stm

Is is good. Like The Wire it's a bit of a grower. It might be too stylish for its own good though, and there is an insane amount of smoking (inc pregnant women). The second series starts this week over here, hopefully they don't screw it up (Wire: did not screw up until the last series...

Thor Hansen (pro-poker player) response to an interviewer, after he’d won a million dollars in one of the first big tournaments. Asked what he intended to do with the money Thor said “I’ll probably pay a few bills, settle a few debts.” “Yes, but what will you do with the rest?” asked the...

as we are talking of Clothes. Mad Men is back on British screens this week and boy are these ladies&gents sharply dressed. There was a dress-up of modern advertising types dressed as Mad Men characters last week in the Times, Most of these guys looks like they are wearing funny ill-fitted Al...

Is Cave? My impression is that he is a proper old-Testament hardcore Christian-type with a Johnny Cash/Elvis fascination.

I think it's because the metal in the cans change the taste slightly, even more so for plastic (and in addition I think some of the taste and fizz diffuse through plastic over time). The giveaway clue is the lengt of time it lasts before sell-by-date. 12 months for cans and glass bottles, 6...

Huge piece on bees in The Sunday Times today, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article5604401.ece And that is the thin end of the long-term catastrophe that now stares us in the face. You take one brick out of the ecological wall, others crumble around it. Then more crumble...

Maybe Frank Field? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article5561728.ece

as my day could not get any worse. Saw him once (in the '80s), but must admit I dropped out after "The Church with One Bell" (98). Not a bad cover album, but he was at his peak in the '70s. I guess the documentary that BBC4 did on him a few years ago is still available online somewhere. Seemed...
