The Queue
One thing is certain, the James Bond of the early novels is a different man from the James Bond of the later books, and it is the later Bond that is the basis for the James Bond of the silver screen. Okay, I guess that's two things that are certain. As we near the end of Ian Fleming's 007 books, I thought I'd expand the Presently category somewhat to let you know where I'll be going after Octopussy and The Living Daylights.

King Apparatus, "Michael & Anne" from Marbles (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: I could listen (and have listened) to "Michael & Anne" on repeat for hours. It's just an amazingly fun song.
