Have you ever noticed that James Bond never seems to listen to music while zooming around in his Aston Martin, nor do we ever get to see him relaxing at home with his feet up listening to a CD. As far as I am aware the books don't spell out his taste although in one of the films Sean Canary got to cheep something along the lines of, "Drinking Dom Perignon above x degrees is like listening to the Beatles without earmuffs".
This occurred to me while I was spring cleaning my living room this afternoon while listening to my new Django Rheinhardt CD. I decided that that is what Bond would listen to while at home: stunning, intricate but tuneful music, intellectually satisfying and toe-tappingly entertaining at the same time. It's also continental enought to remind him of all the dodgy birds he's had to roger on the Riviera on Judy Dench's orders. He'd also have a bit of Bach available for when he was feeling serious and a CD he'd compiled of some of the more romantic bits of Mozart for when he pulls down the pub. There'd be no opera in his collection nor any tuneless junk. And definitely no (c)rap. I quite like the idea of our best agent sharing some of my tastes. What do you think he would listen to?
