On a day that's a bit quiet on the news front we find "Brandon Flowers: I was nervous before The Killers' UK comeback gig" and the pleasing announcement they are working on their fourth album.
Elsewhere you might be shaken and / or stirred to hear that "Kings Of Leon, Lady Gaga, Adele [are] Favourites For Next James Bond Theme" though, in actual fact, the article is just a list of the bookies suggestions and I doubt it will be any of them; they do tend to have a habit of picking big names but not when they're at the peak. Recent ones such as Madonna, Alicia Keys and Jack White are balanced by Chris Cornell, a not so familiar name but one of the best ever Bond tracks.
I dread to think what a Lady GaGa bond song would be like. It would be certainly about his sexual contests in the film. ("Let's see your gun, your talk is slick, I wanna take a ride on your MI7-stick")
Kings of Leon would be something gloomy and miserable. ("Why don't you kill somebody?")
Adele I can see sitting in a room singing about the hero or the villain.
The article goes on to talk about the best and worst Bond themes. I would put my hat into the corner of 'You Know My Name', 'We Have All The Time in the World', 'Goldfinger' and 'The World Is Not Enough' as my favourites. As for worst, 'Die Another Day' takes a lot of flack but I don't think any of them are particular bad as far as songs go, though I don't think the most recent song of 'Another Way To Die' sounds at all like a Bond song.
Though trying to make a song called 'Quantum of Solace' would make anyone tear their writing pad up in frustration.
