The smoky soul of Mad Men
Posted by adspeert | Filed under Uncategorized
One of Mad Men’s greatest strengths as a drama is its ability to use its endings to give you a good slap in the face. And as you sit there stunned by the impact, the music creeps and makes it sting a little sweeter. I was watching an old episode from season 2 this weekend, and came across the gem below. I won’t get into describing the scene here, but I think this track is a good example of the fact that the show does a good job of capturing the age in all it’s sad and smoky glory.
