Are you ready for our TWO PART James Bond Theme Special? You’d better be! Part One of TheCacophony Sessions Season 4 Episode 4 is here and features Dan Whitell with Alex, Dan B, Tom and Martyn as they chronologically rate each of the main themes from every James Bond movie. This part begins with the original 007 film Dr No from 1962 andtakes us up to the end of the seventies, ending with 1979’s Moonraker.
Part Two of this episode will be coming shortly containing the remaining movies. The only way to cover it comprehensively was to record two full-length episodes so consider that a bonus!
If you think this means we are going to rush through without our usual brand of subjective butt-hurt ranting, we’re glad to disappoint as in this part we take some time to respond to YouTube comments, bang on about Run-DMC for a bit, contemplate becoming Den with ven and use the Factchecker 3000’s blindspots to spout questionable facts about football. As always, the language is very sweary and this time, Dan has a wonky green screen which will undoubtedly ruin his bid to be the next Bond.
Thanks for listening, and if you weren’t aware a large taster of every episode is uploaded in video format to our YouTube channel. We also post other videos, such as CAC News, where we give you a rundown of the latest goings on in music every couple of months, and Dan’s recent interview with Bristol hip-hop trio The Scribes! Become a Cacophant by joining our Patreon for just £5 a month to gain access to the video link to each episode in full. You can hurl abuse at us over on Twitter or Facebook and now, you can follow us on TikTok and Instagram where we’ll be posting various shorts from the episodes and other music-related pictures and videos. This is all detailed over at our hub of operations - the Cacophony Sessions Blog.
Oh, and we encourage you to all have a go at our cardigans or other opinions. Leave us a review if you like. Cardigan or content, either is helpful.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.549 I can't wait to talk about James Bond cuz he's so cool and sexy and he just reminds me of Martin.

00:00:20.257 --> 00:00:24.327 You'd have some good looking poles especially if they come out of the water in those Speedos.
00:00:25.062 --> 00:00:27.388 you can be as ripped as you want, but you can't get rid of that.

00:00:36.293 --> 00:00:37.524 a superior bond.
00:00:38.408 --> 00:00:41.228 Oh, fair to start that shit.

00:00:59.143 --> 00:00:59.344 woman
00:00:59.884 --> 00:01:00.694 I didn't get that far.
00:01:00.694 --> 00:01:02.314 I turned it off after about 20 minutes.
00:01:02.314 --> 00:01:03.154 It was rubbish.
00:01:17.804 --> 00:01:22.153 The name's Pump Golden Epu, also known as Dan Whittle.
00:01:22.183 --> 00:01:26.144 And this is season four, episode four of the Cacophony Sessions podcast.

00:01:32.049 --> 00:01:38.495 So grab a dry martini as we separate the rump shakers from the rump stairs for your ears only.
00:01:38.885 --> 00:01:44.721 Which songs leave us thinking nobody does it better and which ones leave us supplying for a license to kill.
00:01:44.721 --> 00:01:48.510 we'll be scoring them all outta 10 to find out we don't have all the time in the world.
00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:50.700 So let's meet the rest of tonight's cast.
00:01:50.789 --> 00:01:51.899 Joining me for this one.
00:01:51.948 --> 00:01:52.308 Tom.
00:01:52.808 --> 00:01:57.489 I'm just a normal functioning member of the human race, and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise.
00:01:57.825 --> 00:01:58.144 Actually's.
00:01:58.150 --> 00:02:01.144 Probably the best one you've done actually sums you up better as well,
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:03.560 I know.
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:04.849 I thought that was quite good.
00:02:04.849 --> 00:02:05.329 All right.
00:02:05.609 --> 00:02:07.495 I thought that and I was like, yep, that will do.
00:02:08.061 --> 00:02:08.691 Alex,
00:02:09.366 --> 00:02:09.575 right?
00:02:09.575 --> 00:02:10.175 I'm here.
00:02:10.235 --> 00:02:11.105 Where were your other two?
00:02:11.105 --> 00:02:11.225 ROEs
00:02:12.450 --> 00:02:13.471 you've used that one before.
00:02:14.015 --> 00:02:15.256 I thought actually.
00:02:15.256 --> 00:02:15.257 Yeah.
00:02:15.751 --> 00:02:16.110 Yeah.
00:02:16.110 --> 00:02:16.350 You've
00:02:16.485 --> 00:02:17.235 It's a classic.
00:02:17.385 --> 00:02:19.186 I'm, It's a cool back, it's a comedy thing.
00:02:19.186 --> 00:02:20.235 It's cool on purpose.
00:02:21.121 --> 00:02:21.721 Dan B
00:02:22.175 --> 00:02:23.405 Pub quiz didn't go well.
00:02:23.794 --> 00:02:26.314 The Quizmaster asked me Name a bond villain.
00:02:26.854 --> 00:02:28.414 He just wouldn't take no for an answer.
00:02:28.909 --> 00:02:29.689 Oh God.
00:02:30.245 --> 00:02:30.935 I enjoyed that.
00:02:30.985 --> 00:02:31.284 Thank you.
00:02:31.705 --> 00:02:33.745 Yeah, that's a bond related joke.
00:02:33.745 --> 00:02:34.405 That was so good.
00:02:35.995 --> 00:02:37.344 You gotta theme these things.
00:02:39.189 --> 00:02:41.289 and returning it is Martin.
00:02:42.169 --> 00:02:46.945 Hi, I'm Martin and my favorite band is to Beastie Boys cuz I'm licensed to Ill.
00:02:47.515 --> 00:02:48.415 See what I did there.
00:02:48.475 --> 00:02:51.686 Bond license to kill Ill, oh fuck
00:02:51.716 --> 00:02:54.496 I think, wasn't that the point in their joke in the first place?
00:02:54.711 --> 00:02:55.366 Maybe.
00:02:55.366 --> 00:02:55.515 I
00:02:55.656 --> 00:02:57.691 cringe and Dan's, but I wasn't sure it was on purpose.
00:02:58.725 --> 00:03:00.225 I put work into that one man.
00:03:01.915 --> 00:03:05.026 Maybe you should go back to the approach of not putting any effort in.
00:03:05.325 --> 00:03:07.306 We should send him away for another podcast or two.
00:03:07.306 --> 00:03:08.145 He isn't right yet.
00:03:10.945 --> 00:03:12.626 It sounds like we need a bit of a warmup.
00:03:12.626 --> 00:03:19.425 So as usual, we're gonna kick things off with a game that takes a song off the top of someone's head and asks, does it slap?
00:03:26.784 --> 00:03:27.354 who's up?
00:03:27.729 --> 00:03:28.509 Oh, I'll go then.
00:03:29.179 --> 00:03:38.038 Cuz no one else is I've been listening to a lot of gold frat lately because she's got a new solo album coming out and Ride White Horse by Gold Frap is a undeniable banger.
00:03:38.169 --> 00:03:38.459 yeah.
00:03:38.533 --> 00:03:38.824 Yeah.
00:03:39.489 --> 00:03:39.778 Yeah.
00:03:40.019 --> 00:03:40.709 Which one's that one?
00:03:40.709 --> 00:03:41.429 How's that one go?
00:03:42.269 --> 00:03:44.878 This their disco beat with a sexy woman singing on it.
00:03:44.878 --> 00:03:45.688 That's all you need to know.
00:03:45.752 --> 00:03:46.368 Is that the one that goes?
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:46.769 Yeah.
00:03:47.028 --> 00:03:49.288 Now I, it was Silver Something Machine.
00:06:01.353 --> 00:06:03.033 Or it's like that over a
00:06:03.067 --> 00:06:04.038 I think it's like that.
00:06:04.278 --> 00:06:04.577 Yeah.
00:06:04.956 --> 00:06:06.146 We've done the we've discussed
00:06:06.192 --> 00:06:08.021 Time is a flat circle or something.
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.632 I did see Todd in the Shadows, did a video the other day actually,
00:06:11.642 --> 00:06:12.148 what I watched.
00:06:12.148 --> 00:06:13.362 Yeah that's exactly what I watched.
00:06:13.367 --> 00:06:13.512 yeah,
00:06:13.642 --> 00:06:18.358 his review of their train record, which is Crown Loyal, which came out in 2001.
00:06:18.723 --> 00:06:22.833 And that was the end of their career Darryl didn't do anything on the album,
00:06:22.987 --> 00:06:28.187 It was really sad to see the demise of D M C, he was powerful, but it was due to his ill health
00:06:28.514 --> 00:06:35.226 it was also the fact that he didn't wanna record crossover stuff like, Steven Jenkins from Third Eye Blind was the
00:06:35.451 --> 00:06:36.351 I know, right?
00:06:36.737 --> 00:06:37.216 Not great.
00:06:37.216 --> 00:06:37.697 I like
00:06:37.757 --> 00:06:39.857 Blind seems like one of those that Martin would like
00:06:39.913 --> 00:06:40.317 fuck off.
00:06:40.317 --> 00:06:41.528 No, I would not like them.
00:06:42.127 --> 00:06:42.577 Why would I
00:06:42.653 --> 00:06:49.223 no, but no, I'm not saying like we'd think you'd like those band that you'd weirdly love and we would have to then just tell you off in the next six months.
00:06:49.704 --> 00:06:52.151 Semi Child Life is an undeniable banger.
00:06:52.211 --> 00:06:52.992 I'm just putting out
00:06:53.254 --> 00:06:53.584 No.
00:06:53.584 --> 00:06:54.634 Third eye blind for me.
00:06:55.338 --> 00:06:59.050 anyway, Let's find out briefly what everyone's been up to since we last recorded.
00:06:59.050 --> 00:07:00.011 Martin, let's start with you.
00:07:00.232 --> 00:07:03.091 We're released our ep foreign Voices.
00:07:03.391 --> 00:07:03.601 Yeah.
00:07:03.607 --> 00:07:05.992 We're a indie rock band from the Southwest.
00:07:05.992 --> 00:07:06.651 Check us out.
00:07:06.651 --> 00:07:09.141 We're on Spotify, YouTube, music, and Apple Music.
00:07:09.232 --> 00:07:10.791 We're on all across the platforms.
00:07:10.882 --> 00:07:11.482 Check us out.
00:07:11.487 --> 00:07:11.752 Yeah.
00:07:12.810 --> 00:07:14.451 so much better than this, than I was.
00:07:15.235 --> 00:07:16.391 is this count as a paid ad.
00:07:16.774 --> 00:07:19.240 sounded so weird coming from someone on the podcast.
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:19.899 That's not me.
00:07:19.899 --> 00:07:22.805 half expecting you to say like, and subscribe as well.
00:07:23.379 --> 00:07:24.370 I do that as well.
00:07:24.375 --> 00:07:24.464 yeah,
00:07:24.750 --> 00:07:24.959 So,
00:07:24.975 --> 00:07:25.855 about cardigans.
00:07:26.927 --> 00:07:28.067 that's what's been going on with me.
00:07:28.117 --> 00:07:32.857 I had a bit of a battle with myself thinking, am I being a narcissist by listening to it constantly?
00:07:32.862 --> 00:07:35.266 And I'm like no, I'm fucking proud of it.
00:07:36.706 --> 00:07:40.966 And I don't just listen to my guitar parts, which are excellent, but I listen to the whole thing,
00:07:41.297 --> 00:07:47.326 I imagine you've got your EQ set up so that you take all the bait out all the drums and it's just your guitar.
00:07:47.677 --> 00:07:47.966 Yeah.
00:07:47.966 --> 00:07:55.189 But you are at the starting phase, even if it's like a rehearsal video just on your play, not video, but on your phone, and you go, oh, this sounds wicked.
00:07:55.939 --> 00:07:59.180 Everyone in the band over listens to it, to the point they think the song shit.
00:07:59.230 --> 00:08:02.404 You haven't got the point where you think stuff's shit yet, but you will get there.
00:08:03.154 --> 00:08:03.725 No, we won't.
00:08:04.154 --> 00:08:04.557 We won't.
00:08:04.583 --> 00:08:05.182 I'll tell you why.
00:08:05.187 --> 00:08:06.413 Because our stuff is not shit.
