a-ha - The Living Daylights (Album Version)

A-Ha's version from their 1988 album Stay On These Roads.

A-Ha - The Living Daylights official video

Happy 30th Anniversary to the James Bond film The Living Daylights. The Living Daylights was the 15th in the official series done by Eon Productions and the first to star Timothy Dalton as James Bond. Dalton was someone ahead of his time doing Bond a more darker version and was a huge 180 from Roger Moore. He was Daniel Craig before that was cool. The movie was also sadly the final one to be scored by John Barry as he never returned to the series but he left on a high note. The theme from A-Ha is one of my favorite Bond songs. There were two versions as Barry and A-Ha apparently didn't collaborate well.

Here's Barry's version.

Timothy Dalton: A Look Back At The Original Dark Bond

In the James Bond world, Timothy Dalton is best remembered as the fourth James Bond succeeding Roger Moore and bringing up about a darker tone to the series in an attempt to be more closer than the Ian Fleming novels the movies were based off of. Unfortunately, Dalton's approach was polarizing and legal problems over the series as well as other issues saw Dalton exit after only two films. Despite his brief run as 007, Dalton has had quite the journey leading up to Bond and an interesting aftermath with redemption. This article will look back at Dalton's early life/career, his eighteen year journey and false starts as the world's most famous secret agent, his run & departure, and aftermath.

Alice Cooper - School's Out (from Alice Cooper: Trashes The World)

Today is the first day of summer. What better song to play for all the kids. Also, this month marks the 45th anniversary of Alice Cooper's School's Out album.

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Face to Face

Happy 25th to Batman Returns which in my opinion is the greatest Batman movie of all time. Michael Keaton will always be Batman while Danny DeVito and Michelle Pffeifer were also perfectly cast as Penguin and Catwoman, respectively. One of the things I loved about this movie was the imagination including The Penguin's various umbrellas, the vehicles, the penguins with missiles, and The Red Triangle Circus Gang was an excellent idea for henchmen (Sorry Chase, I know I've nagged you about these things a million times). Danny Elfman's soundtrack is one of the best in the history of movies. He really should've been nominated for an Academy Award for best original score as well as song with Face To Face. Elfman's music perfectly adds to every scene and I don't think any Batman movie has had as good a soundtrack since The Burton films. The films dark and gloomy nature was also great. I'm proud to say that this is the first Batman I saw in theaters and I've seen every live action one ever since.

Kiss - I'm A Legend Tonight

Happy 35th anniversary to the KISS album Killers. Killers was originally an international release that was mostly a best of album with four new songs.
