“I never joke about my ranking, 007!”: The Official and Correct Ranking of the James Bond Movies, conclusion
And at last, here we are: the top five James Bond movies. I like that my top five has quite a bit of variety: it spans more than 40 years of films, and five of the six men who have … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
Ever see any of these “ambience” videos floating around YouTube? They are long videos, usually multiple hours long, that you can turn on and let play in the background if you want a specific sonic ambience. There are “rushing stream … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas!

Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
OK, yesterday I featured Queen doing “White Christmas”. Freddie Mercury is one of the four faces on my personal Mount Rushmore of popular music voices, so let’s see what I can find by the other three? Here’s Annie Lennox: Next … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
Here’s a rarity that I didn’t even know existed. It’s not the best quality recording, because it’s taken from a live show more than forty years ago, but the worst recording of Freddie Mercury is still a recording of Freddie … Continue reading
And now, an airplane.
Just because, here’s a cool-looking plane. It’s meant for really big cargo, and it’s called–get this–the “Super Guppy”. You can see the full size version of this here.
Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
Since I’m doing all this James Bond content of late, here’s a Christmas song from the James Bond Christmas movie, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service! (Yes, it’s a Christmas movie, but yes, that ending…sob….anyway….) This song is heard in the movie … Continue reading
