I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that Bond may enjoy the old-school musical stylings of Frank Sinatra.

Was going to make this exact comment, so instead I'll poing out that in Dr. No, the titular character used a tank painted like a dragon to scare the black people off his island.

It's okay, I just realized I did two posts yesterday that took advantage of the "(word A)...(word A)(rest of sentence)" format: "You...you etc." and "Did...did etc."
It was kind of unnecessary, especially in the above post.

You are forgiven, for using the greetings card comment format. But let this be a lesson to you! EVERYONE ALWAYS does that joke.
Incidentally, the Southern boom-bap musical collective CunninLynguists are actually bloody good. Irritatingly. It is stupidest name, typed on ugliest keyboard. It is not a name I ever wanted to have in my mp3 player. BUT THERE IT IS.

further coincidence stories: after reviewing your profile, I've discovered that you enjoy the musical strains of the Weakerthans. Not only was my randomized playlist indulging in just that band as I browsed your page, I was (and still am) from their hometown of winnipeg.

Man! It is almost like we should make each other mix tapes. Remember when they became mix minidiscs. Mix CDs. (I still do those - made one for my brother just a few hours ago). Mix... winamp playlists? What do the young people do these days?

that would be so dope! All air-mailing a cassette tape over the pond... but it's been so long since I even touched a cassette, I wonder if I can still make a mix tape? hmmmm... In conclusion, I'll put a nominal effort into this project.

OOOOOOH SHIIIIIIIT! For some reason, I only just realised I had new replies when this one made my inbox number go up. A chubby for making me notice. I am sorry, fallow_fields! I should Pay Attention.
So it turns out that I do not have the technology to make mix cassette tapes any longer (:() but I would totally make you a mix CD, you know, if you like, I guess! (:))
If you wanted to email me then you could do that by using the address that is on my website which is in my profile (no-one ever said it was going to be easy)

More has happened in the past 3 weeks than you could ever know. But in the audio playlist creation department, not a lot. In fact all I managed to to was burn two Iron and Wine albums onto one CD :D ha
