Director, performer, genius, childhood hero and life-long smoker, Buster Keaton. 

Note: chained and perfumed’s address has changed. It is now chainedandperfumed.com. You should have been redirected automatically but if not change your bookmarks or whatever. 

Also, I’ve begun a chained and perfumed tumblr to give some new life to this site’s archive which has just been sitting around collecting dust. So you can follow that if you’re so inclined. Thanks and please enjoy.

mca is dead

In news that might not be entirely surprising but is devastating nonetheless to anyone old enough to have owned Licensed to Ill on cassette, the great Adam Yauch aka MCA aka Nathanial Hörnblowér has died. He left behind a wife, a daughter and at least one truly stone-cold classic album. I fucking hate cancer.

Goddamnit. RIP MCA

The Aristocats. Wolfgang Reitherman. 1970.

Charlie, the Lonesome Cougar. Rex Allen, Winston Hibler. 1967.

I love how the ad people had so little faith in this Aristocats thing that they used a character from The Jungle Book to promote it.
