The James Bond Collection

Do you like Adele's Skyfall? I do. And today it gave me a strange kind of jamesbondesque hunger. I went looking for all the past songs from the 007 movies. It has been a quick & easy hunt, courtesy of Wikipedia (every time it happens, I keep wondering: "how can Wikipedia have a page for every thing I'm looking for? Is it maybe the answer to Bono's secular existential drama I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For?).

Anyway. All the songs are pretty available on Spotify (all but Adele's Skyfall: seen her past attitude toward Spotify, she likely will make it available in June 2018). Half of them are chronologically collected in a nice album from 1983. The rest, I found it elsewhere and added on this playlist. From the languid beauty of the Sixties (Shirley Bassey, Nancy Sinatra) to the poppy perversion of the Eighties (Duran Duran, a-ha) to the pure schizophrenia of the Internet era (Garbage? Madonna?? Chris Cornell??? Alicia Keys & Jack White????).

Enjoy!

... and if you prefer a YouTube version with original opening titles from (almost) each movie, you can take a look to this thing I posted on the website of the Italian paper La Stampa.

London 2012 Olympics Playlist

From Stereogum, again:

"British director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire) was tasked with picking a playlist for the upcoming Olympic opening ceremony in London, and his 86-track playlist has leaked online, according to The Telegraph. Notable: It’s probably a deliberate choice that members of the Queen’s Jubilee Court — knighted folks like Elton John and Paul McCartney — were left off. Though it hasn’t been officially confirmed, the playlist doesn’t jive with a certain Spice Girl. “We literally flew the flag — and Geri even wore it — around the globe,” Mel C, AKA Sporty Spice, told The Mirror. She’s got a point. Check out (listen to) the full playlist below".

72/86 tracks available.
No Beatles, no Led Zeppelin, no Pink Floyd, as spoti-usual.

Stereogum's Indie Songs of the Summer 2012

Two months without writing or playlisting anything. Sorry, sometimes real life steals your fantasy life. I don't know if I will find a way to get regular again, here on Spotirama, but today I read this little list on Stereogum and I thought: "uhm, why not?". So it is... a little summer indie playlist: 12 songs, with just one missing (Azealia Banks' Jumanji). Enjoy!

P.S. You can vote your favourite summer song on Stereogum.
