Got an iPhone? Learn More About Joan's Squeezebox and Pete's Charleston
Need to know more about Joan Holloway's ooh-la-la accordion playing? Exclusive to iPhone users: An inside look at the singing and dancing in last night's episode, "My Old Kentucky Home." Besides hearing more about Joanie on the squeezebox, you'll learn how Pete Campbell perfected his Charleston as series creator Matthew Weiner, actress Christina Hendricks and actor Vincent Kartheiser discuss how both of those scenes came to be.












Not fair. Some of us can't afford iPhones or iTouch's.
I agree. I would like to read more and those of us who don't have iphones just can't???
Very unfair, AMC.
Totally agree...no iPhone or other modern gizmo here...not fair!!!
Posting for the third time, let me just join the chorus here. I loved both performances. I agree it is not fair that we can't see/read the background stories on both performances.
(If all three posts show up, I shall scream. I keep getting thrown off the site, but I shall keep trying.)
I would love to see this, too, and I am, sadly, iPhone-less.
Jeers for teaming up with iPhone and cheating the rest of us out of extras.
i agree. why should those who refuse to let their lives be ruled by "apps" be left out?
You're driving me to drink AMC!!! I don't have an iPhone so I'm going to miss out on this... why can't I have everything the moment I want it???
Terrible that the extras are limited to just iphone users. Do you not care about your non-iphone using audience?

We old stubborn "no-iphone-for-me" folks want to know if Pete took lessons from a "Dancing With The Stars" teacher/dancer and if Joanie took accordion lessons from Myron Floren (is he still alive??) TOO!
AMC unfair!
Well, let's make our own comments. Nothing better than a sexy woman singing a sex song on a red accordion to revive that instrument -- which was still hugely popular in the early 60s. It looked like she was actually playing it. The French song was a delight. What do you bet somebody found out she had had accordion lessons and just wrote it in the script?
That Charleston was the bomb! :} It cracked me up when Joan put on the accordian because when I was a child in the early 60s my Mom insisted I take accordian lessons. Must have been cool at the time. lol
HAhaHaaa. Good one DoubleDon!
And BTW Mad Men staff, poll some of us 50+ viewers for memories. Get out a box of Jets (General Mills) cereal and a clip of The Dean Martin Show (for 1964). Love you lots!
Boooo! I don't have a mobile or even cordless phone, let alone an iPhone.
AMC: Will you be posting song credits for Season 3 as you have for seasons 1 and 2? I cannot identify the song from the bar scene in 302.
So very disappointed that only iphone users can access. I clicked through the link because I thought there would be another way to get there. Shame on AMC when they pull this on Maddicts. Even if the series is about advertising and shaping opinions of the public, it goes too far!
I adore Mad Men, but I would rather go without an "inside look" if it means avoiding brain cancer from those hateful i-phones.
Well tickle me pink, a "Retro" party within a "Retro" TV show, its like a Russian nesting doll!! Love it!
The Derby party was the "bee's knees" (even the distasteful blackface was hilarious in its parody on a parody ... more Madroshkas!)
And Pete gleefully back kicking in the Charleston was enough to send me laughing and wagging one finger in the air like a crazed depression era Flapper Girl. Good heavens!
I'm thinking of having a dinner party now! Something my friends have never been to. I haven't been to one since I was little. LOVED the party! Joan is just full of surprises. Her husband is going to turn out to be a jerk. I wish I could have been there! I can do the Charleston, but it's not nearly as good as what Pete and Trudy did.
I don't have an iPhone either. Could you make your marketing a little more accessible? I'm with others on this board who can't afford an iPhone. Thanks bunches. Can't wait for next weeks episode!
OH, btw, flappers were not of the Depression era. Flappers were from the Roaring 20's (pre 1929). The Depression era started with the Crash of '29, and lasted until the beginning of WW2. But I see what you're getting at, Mrs. Cherry.
Its definitely wrong to leave out your loyal viewers who do not have iPhones. I would love one but AT&T service doesn't even come close to Verizon's, so I'm waiting until they have iPhones. Please make it available through iTunes or some other medium.
How about just posting a link on the blog for us....pretty please???
"Exclusive to..." blah blah blah....
I hate that stuck-up phrase!
Pete back kicking in doing the Charleston was really amusing to watch. He actually looked adorable.
