Ear Candy (My Random Act of Kindness for Today)
October 10, 2012 My Dad had a lot of James Bond vinyl in his record collection and I inherited his love of the soundtracks. You will find a double CD James Bond theme compilation in my own collection.
I also love the James Bond movies, even though I'm more of a Pride & Prejudice / Princess Bride / The Notebook kind of girl. You know, period costumes and happy endings. (Even though I always end up doing the ugly cry at the end of the Notebook ... )
So when I heard this latest James Bond theme by Adele yesterday ... well ... have a listen. It's pretty awesome. And I'm not the only one who thinks so because it's been viewed over 22 million times in less than a week.
This isn't a video, just colored smoke & lyrics.
I wonder how many times I'm going to hit repeat today. A good guess would be about 37 kajillion. Maybe more.
Oh wait. I forgot. I finally rented Downton Abbey from the library yesterday. And I have a ton of hand sewing on my to do list for today. Nuts. Might only listen to it 36 kajillion times. ;)
Double nuts. I'm home alone. I gotta figure out how to work the DVD player all by myself.

DOWNTON ABBEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Have you seen Downton Abbey??? If not you are IN FOR A TREAT!!! If you have, you are IN FOR A TREAT!! Enjoy - I am jealous!
Firstly, can't wait to listen to this-I've heard it's tres good. Secondly oh my, Downton is soooooo fantastic-you will LOVE it! Blair has the 1st and 2nd episode of season 3 for us to watch this week and I can't wait. Downton is like a bad (or good?) addiction-need my fix!! Have fun! ps Madelyn is home sick today, so what's a Mom to do but stay home and finish my log cabin quilt while sick kid rests =)
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Downton Abbey??! You will adore it!!!! (oh and I loved Sense and Sensibility too, but I am totally salivating over the anticipation of seeing Daniel Craig...hubba...hubba!) :)
Thanks! And I still have not seen D. Abbey... let me know if you like it! I didn't realize it was at the library! And I am right there with you kiddo - re: working the DVD/remotes (all bazillion of them)... I need my family to get a movie going for me... crazy, huh? They even wrote out a cheat sheet for me so I could do it on my own... but I couldn't get it to work even then... hope yours is up and running! Can't wait to see your hand work!
Adele and Downton Abbey = greatness!
Ohh Downton is so good. You will love it! Now I want to watch it over again!!
Totally different voices, but reminds me of Goldfinger by Shirley Bassey. Love Adele's voice.
I'm trying so hard to learn how to do hand quilting. Got another little class tomorrow, so maybe I'll get the knack of it one of these days.
Downtown Abbey is great! Here in germany they just released the second season ... so there're still at least two more seasons waiting for me, ha. And I'm sure you figure out the dvd player! Hildy
Love the Adele track. :)
Downton Abbey is just the best!!!!!!

I just finished listening to Adele. Thank you for the ear candy today! It was beautiful.
Oh I LOVE this song! Of course, with the exception of set fire to the rain, I'm a HUGE Adele fan!
My two favourite things, Adele and Downton. We get UK TV by satellite (I live in France) and the 3rd series has just started....want to know what happens?? LOL Just kidding... be warned, you will be hooked. Hugs
Thanks for sharing! I love Adele and I can hardly wait til Skyfall is here! Plus Downton Abbey pure happiness!
Cheers, Colette
We like the same things! You can come and stitch with me any time - I have lots of those movies!! And I know how to work the DVD player.....! Enjoy.
Wow, almost shades of Shirley Bassey there! (We're Bond freaks too LOL)
You'll love Downtown Abbey! The characters come to life and it's a great story about that period in time. Enjoy!!!
For someone so technically challenged (sorry but a spade is a spade!) you did a fabulous job embedding this video - excellent work!
And have a nice quiet day:)
Miss you!!! :o) Hope all is well! Hugs! :O)
Oh dear, Downton Abbey just doesn't appeal to me! I think the reason that there is no video to go with Adele's song is that she is heavily pregnant!!
Where have you gone? Miss your posts! All the best, Jennifer
Hoping all is well...I miss finding new posts. I just got Downtow Abby from the library....should I warn my family I may not be heard from for a while? :) I hope you are busy with some exciting project, and will have something fun to show us soon. Miss you...
Hope all is well with you, Sweet K! Miss you! Sending hugs your way! :)
