Tuesday Tease: The New MAD MEN Season 5 Promo Poster is In, Don Draper Ogles a Naked Mannequin

February 28th, 2012 No comments

The Mad Men minimalist teaser poster made the rounds mid January 2012.

Now we have this “nonverbal representation” to whet our appetites until Mad Men returns to our collective TVs. Series creator Matthew Weiner had this to say about the image in the New York Times.

“This is a dreamlike image,” Mr. Weiner said, likening it to work of the Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico, who specialized in surreal, mannequin-like figures.

The image is “a nonverbal representation of where my head is at and where the show will be,” Mr. Weiner said.

“By the end of the season,” he said, “I guarantee you’ll know what it is about.”

A “nonverbal representation” eh? We see the glorious previous 4 seasons of Mad Men, a show about high-powered, fast tallking advertising executives in 1960s New York City, was not a fluke.

Music Break: Sleigh Bells New Album, ‘Reign of Terror’ Streaming Free, All This Week

February 21st, 2012 No comments

It was Nerdist podcast‘s latest episode that introduced us to the sounds of interviewed Seth Meyers as the band was doing their sound check for that week’s Saturday Night Live. As the interview went on we began listening to the sound check more than Seth Meyer. Sorry about that Mr Meyer. Their sound was unavoidable. By chance, or providence, a Google alert dropped this Flavorwire link advertising ‘Reign of Terror’(their latest album set to drop today, February 21, 2012) is streaming for free all this week on The New York Times site.

We’re possibly the last one to hear about Sleigh Bells. That’s okay. Collecting new music was never our strongest nerdy feature.

LISTEN(while you can): Sleigh Bells ‘Reign of Terror’

February 14th, 2012 No comments

And now here’s the day as we’ve come to call it since 2007, 2008 and 2011. 2010 could fuck right off, apparently.

Always remember: Valentine’s Day is a Christian corruption of a pagan festival involving werewolves, blood and fucking. So wish people a happy Horny Werewolf Day and see what happens.
