Send us a textJoin me for the last episode of 2025, as I enjoy a maple old fashioned. I talk Questlove's new podcast, along with new music from gwendolyn, De La Soul, and Daphni. Also, a deluxe album from the xx, and the rerelease of The Beatles' "Anthology." Lastly, I look at 2026 – upcoming music events, having guests back on here, and a new season of new music and artists. Cheers, one last time this year!

1. Check out “The Sound of 007” on Amazon Prime, for a good film about the music in Bond films.

2. Also check out “Kill James Bond,” a podcast that goes through movie by movie, and offers critical analyses of the series.

3. Thievery Corporation’s “Saudade” is the perfect album paired with Vesper martinis. Here are a couple of songs mentioned in the episode, that give off Bond vibes.

4. Thee Sacred Souls has an album that will be coming out on October 4. Here are a few tracks.

5. Here’s the collab between Four Tet and Ellie Goulding.

Feature on Bond Songs

For the rest of the episode, I talk about the history of songs written for James Bond movies. Here are some highlights from that feature, with a focus on some of the lesser known tracks.

The other song written for Thunderball, “Mr. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.” Sung by Shirley Bassey (the other version was recorded by Dionne Warwick).

Here’s the song Johnny Cash recorded for Thunderball.
