Or “Bond Songs Are Forever” or “Unlicensed to Sing” or “Sing Another Day” or, as the Guardian puts it in their round up: For Your Ears Only. Because the answer is they go to Youtube where, released as B-sides or discovered in the vaults, they are then married up with the original title sequences by the fans – which is fairly weird with For Your Eyes Only where (uniquely) Sheena Easton actually appears to be miming (badly) to Blondie’s title song.
You may well be familiar with Dione Warwick’s Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or Julie Rogers You Only Live Twice but there are many more out there of which the Guardian links to only a few. These include Johnny Cash, The Pet Shop Boys and Saint Ettienne, but, alas, not Vic Flick and Eric Clapton which sounds awesome. Most of the songs here are pretty awful, though a couple are better than the official ones largely because the official ones are even worse…
Their link to Ace of Base’s Goldeneye doesn’t have the film’s titles so here‘s a better link.

One of the things the iPhone has got a lot of stick for is the camera. It stayed at 2MP when the 3G version came out. I didn’t think that would be a problem; actually because it’s always with me I’ve used it a few times and the picture quality (not the resolution) bugs me. Review said it had good quality for a phone camera, that’s as maybe, but phone cameras are awful. Plus it does weird stuff like this (it is, I have discovered, a known issue) which makes me wonder how this camera actually works.
And this.
If Apple were to make it work with video, however, all will be forgiven.

Something of a triumph: two weeks in and they’re not dead. There are some flies in there though; apparently that’s avoidable by putting a layer of paper or soil over the food.

What’s this? Another one?
In just under three weeks Dufftown, a model narrow gauge railway 4mm scale will be exhibited in Brighton. It’s a layout I’ve designed and help build, and it’s not nearly ready, so I thought it would be fun to record the last few weeks of the race against time on a blog. So I will.

As part of one of my courses I will be assessed on a personal journal. “I recommend you set up a blog” said the lecturer “for your reflections (and rants)”. So I have. Please wander over (if you feel so inclined) and have a look.

I first encountered one when presented with pomme de terre en deux colours with a delicious lunch served in the square in front of an excellent restaurant in Vence. Now I’m happy to find they’re a regular feature of the Lewes Farmers’ Market.

The final episode of Dave Shelton’s current Bergman and McBoo today, alas. Surely there has to be an anthology published soon?
