New Add - Theme to Quantum of Solace

Another Way to Die (single)

The music to the films of James Bond have been so influential that it basically can stand alone as it's own genre. KCRW favorites Bitter Sweet are an example of a band that has been able to carve their own niche from this specialized style.

Earlier on this week we received a copy of a limited edition 7" vinyl release of "Another Way to Die", the title cut to the forthcoming James Bond film Quantum of Solace. The track happens to be the first duet in the Bond Film series and features an unlikely pairing between Jack White and Alicia Keyes. Apparently the the collaboration has been a long time in the making.

To get you guys warmed up for the action check out the HD trailer to the film
below and make sure to stay tuned to KCRW for spins of the forthcoming single as the film's release approaches in mid November. 

Here are my picks for some other bond-like tracks discovered on this very station

1) Deadly Avenger - We Took Vegas
2) Jean Jeacques Perrey & Dana Countryman - The Spy From Outer Space
3) Herbaliser - The Next Spot, Amores Bongo
4) Tristeza - Bromas
5) ??? - end of the week...brain is fried..you got any ideas....
