Just to reiterate for unbelievably lucky / unforgivably late newcomers, this is a weekly playlist of movie music, bound by a common theme, that I like to imply took ages to craft into a perfectly arranged, mutually complimentary selection of interwoven tuneage but which I actually threw together a few minutes ago. You'll need to download Spotify to hear it, which you can do right here. It's free so don't get your credit card out unless you want to pay me for all the amazingness I've given you over the last year and a bit, which would be both lovely and long overdue.
This week it's music from the Bond films of the 1960s, which is obviously when it was at its most sleazily, sexifully ace. John Barry scored all six of the sixties' Bonds (we do not speak of the 1967 spoof Casino Royale in this house, although it does have an incredible soundtrack), and he did an unspeakably good job of it. His part in creating the Bond of the films is as important as directors Terence Young and Guy Hamilton, producers Cubby Broccoli and Harry Salzman, set designer Ken Adam and even that Scottish milkman with the dodgy syrup.
So to get you in the mood, why not have casual sex with a string of improbably beautiful women, blow up a military installation, make a dreadful one-liner and enjoy some of the sounds that LITERALLY CHANGED THE WORLD.

Loved it and subscribed. Now going back to find last Saturday's John William's lovefest.
ReplyDeleteLovely, just lovely. Capsule in space is a particularly good piece.
ReplyDeleteGood old John Barry.
The Internet is streaming 007 music.
ReplyDeleteThe name is Bond
Broad Bond.
JAMES BOND Do you expect me to talk?
AURIC GOLDFINGER No Mr. Bond. I expect you to Spotify.
A title for the feature could be:
Ride of the Spotified
or
Valhalla
in honour of Richard Wagner who has according to IMDB today 635 sountrack credits. More than any other composer. He died in 1883.
sorry - typo - I meant soundtracks.
ReplyDeleteI want to jump into the shark infested pool.
ReplyDeleteI meant soundtrack.
I may have lost my marbles, but Richard Wagner is still a genius.
That Marge Gunderson loves the space capsule because it will go far with Fargo Cargo
ReplyDeleteHilarious, you betcha!
ReplyDeleteHow about "Suitify Saturdays"?
