Seems like a poor use of a video sharing site when there's no actual video. But maybe it's just me.

I like their gentle approach to funny.

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... before I shoot you.

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")? Always gets me.

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.

A Quantum of Solace (I've written it down now) I believe count myself among many young British people who found their GCSE Physics exams slightly less worrying because of A&J's Roscoe H Spellgood.

I believe *I* count myself, even.

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.

Ken Korda's review of In Her Shoes is a particularly fine piece of film criticism.

Ken Korda probably needs a post of his own... after all Speeding On The Needle Bliss is a modern classic

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.
