Billie Eilish

It's certainly about time there was a knock-out Bond song, I recognise many liked Adele's (I think it's OK), but most over the last 30 years are instantly forgettable.

I see Hans Zimmer is to be the score composer (For the first time), now that's good news. Could he team up with Billie? Even better.

Adele's has been closest. Last "proper" Bond song?

Goldeneye.

Come at me.

Written by Bono. One of my pieces of mildly interesting but ultimately meaningless music trivia there.

I'll come at you alright.

Not "the" Bond song though was it? That was Sheryl Crow's number.

But a bonus point for bringing it up.

I'm probably in the minority but I also quite like Garbage's effort.

Then there's this nifty QoS wannabe from La Bassey:

In that case 👀

Yeah but no.  The Radiolads clearly thought they were writing something for David Lynch.

I like Spectre but it didn’t sound like a bond theme to me. It just sounded like Radiohead. Sam Smiths one was awful as well. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

In the minority again, but I dont hate to hear it. It's in the middle of the league table.  The string and brass motif is, to me, suitably Bondian. 

The instrumental version on the soundtrack album is probably the one to return to:

Goldeneye is a banger.

Played it at battle of the bands, rock version. Went down a treat.

N64 game was awesome too.

Anyone notice the unrelated Siberian Tiger?

So Billie swept all 4 major Grammy categories tonight. Now she is even on another level. So how high do they place her on the Pyramid this year if in fact she does end up on the line up.

Can't see her there at all this year. With another album between now and next year she could sub it maybe.

Considering she seems to be getting booked to headline a lot of major festivals now already without a second album in sight I'd say she'll probably be too big/charge too much for just a sub slot by the time album #2 comes along, and I personally don't see her being booked to headline in a rush either.

My prediction was that she would win in every category she was nominated for. I guess this was close enough. Incredible effort.

I don’t want to open up a further debate but you’re just wrong on this one. She’s a headliner now. She ain’t subbing anything in this country ever again. Have you seen the dates she’s sold out in this country already?

I agree. Even IF she would accept a non-headline slot, I don't think Glastonbury could afford to book her for it. She's become one of the biggest stars on the planet already. I think the next time we see her at Worthy Farm she's headlining the thing.

To those who think Billie Eilish will sub headline anything again...

[CaledonianGonzo]

Unless she's already been booked for something a while back.

Pop is fickle, I agree that she's bigger than that now and her next album will be huge but anything again? I can easily imagine a world where she's playing the Katy Perry/Miley Cyrus type slot in 10 years time.

Oh man I’m saying she’l headline in the next two years. They will snap her up before any of that. 2022.

She’d have to do something dramatic to fall off by then.
