Alan takes a trip down memory lane, while Jarrod is left to wonder why his CD collection of alternate Bond themes is incomplete in the latest edition of the Bond Music: Six of the Best podcast.

Bond And Beyond chat.
Had a great time with the guys on the Bond And Beyond podcast recently chatting about several 007 related topics such as James Bond Jr., board games, merchandise, a certain Lexicon, as well supplying some on-the-fly answers to a surprise round of Desert Island Bond. An a big vote of thanks for letting Alan witter on for the majority of the show sharing some stories about what happened to various Bond vehicles after the movies wrapped. – You can tune in an listen here.

Bond Music: Six of the Best gets Elektronika
On the latest of the Bond Music: Six of the Best podcast episode, Jarrod and Alan continue their investigation of various Bond related “spinoff” albums with BOND BEAT & BASS.

Talking Bond at Comicpalooza
The Bond Lexicon team (i.e. Gillian and Alan) had a great time at the recent Comicpalooza pop-culture event in Houston TX, where we’d been asked to present our “25 Things You Didn’t Know About James Bond” panel. It was interesting, and a little different, being on an open stage in the middle of the main convention floor. We got a good engaged crowd, had some fun throwing out a mix of 007 themed trivia questions and facts for the audience. Thanks also to the few folks who stayed a while after the panel and picked up signed copies of The James Bond Lexicon to take home with them. – It was good to be back on the convention circuit again and meeting people.
