A fun educational conversation about single malt Scotch whiskies—Speyside, Islay, Island, Highland, et al. We'll do a whisky tasting, too, so you have better understanding why Islay whisky (i.e. Lagavulin) usually have a smoky character, while Speyside whisky (i.e. Glenlivet) generally light and grassy.

Today, 52 years ago, Rolling Stone made their debut. The price was 25 cents and it had a free roach clip to hold a marijuana joint. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards weren't too happy that there was a newspaper using their name and not even put them on the cover of the first issue.

COMING UP ROSES: LIES

Just discovered this Singapore's magnificent shoegaze unit, Coming Up Roses. Saw them performing at Hard Rock Cafe Singapore a few nights ago, falling in love instantly. Been listening to this song on repeat. Melancholy and atmospheric yet beautiful. Sad and gorgeous vocal style. Shoegaze at its best.

JANE ON MEETING SERGE

“I met Serge through taking a role in a French film called Slogan. To begin with, he didn’t like me because my French wasn’t very good and he’d been hoping that Marisa Berenson would get my role. Everybody told me he was a mad, bad, dangerous Russian, but after a dinner together I discovered he was very charming."
