Just been rewatching Mad Men – and what a fantastic ending- better even than Sopranos? Any thoughts/contenders?
The Golden Age of Industrial Musicals
Don’t expect to get Saucecraft-level traction on this, but it may amuse someone else as much as it has me.
While poking around Spotify looking for 1960-64 tracks to add to Martin’s Spotify post I came across 3 whole albums of 50s/60s/70s advertising music – not jingles, but whole numbers that sound like outtakes from Oklahoma – made for the likes of Coca-Cola, Westinghouse, Oldsmobile etc. This was obviously a huge thing, with massive resources thrown at it – not hard to imagine all those Mad Men brainstorming sessions. One bloke with a laptop could probably do it now.
Just search on The Golden Age of Industrial Musicals for over 3 hours of this stuff.
Don and chums are back…
for their final (half) run, beginning tonight. Anyone else still on board to see how the great Mad Men saga is tied up?
