Seems like a poor use of a video sharing site when there's no actual video. But maybe it's just me. posted by blue_beetle at 8:53 AM on August 9, 2008

Buxton's theme is crap, but it has the better chorus:
I'd like a quantum of solace
but no more than a quantum.
I know they do big bags of solace,
but I don't want 'em.
I only want a teeny-tiny slice of solace...

What's it called when a stanza leads you down the rhyming garden path only to awkwardly defy expectations (e.g. "...working for the Brits" and "...ladies with big brains")?
Those were good, but I'm not sure they've really advanced the ball beyond Weird Al Yankovic's entry in the Bond-theme parody genre. posted by Zonker at 9:19 AM on August 9, 2008

Adam has now got his own weekly show on Radio 4 that you can also listen to on the internet. The current episode is really quite good. I like how his Dad helps out too. posted by w0mbat at 10:32 AM on August 9, 2008

Ken Korda probably needs a post of his own... after all Speeding On The Needle Bliss is a modern classic posted by fearfulsymmetry at 3:07 PM on August 10, 2008
Speeding On The Needle Bliss is almost too spot on - I've seen some post-Trainspotting films that come horribly close to it. Really it needs Sadie Frost and/or Jonny Lee Miller for true horror. posted by Artw at 4:00 PM on August 10, 2008
