To celebrate the return of Mad Men, I have put together a cheeky Olden Days Spotify Playlist to distract you from a dissapointingly dull April. A particular favourite is He Hit Me by The Crystals, a disturbing and bizarrely unironic take on loving your man, despite him beating you to smithereens. Oh the sixties, you so crazy (also another reason to be freaked out by Phil Spector). This track, which features on the latest episode of the series, is chilling, hypnotic and brilliant.
From making iconic music videos such as Radiohead’s Lotus Flower and Blur’s Coffee and TV to producing big proper movies like Son of Rainbow and The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Garth Jennings has proved he is a bit of a filmic genius. Therefore it seems fitting that he is teaandtoastblogs first mixtape listener and below are seven songs which are on his mind at the moment.
Yeah Yeah Yeah’s – Maps
Gila – Beach House
beach house
Thom Yorke – The Eraser
The Micronauts – The Jag
Winifred Atwell – Poor People of Paris
Portishead – The Rip
Peggy Lee – Is That All There Is
