My wife and I spent New Year’s Eve at a James Bond event in Washington D.C.

The event was held at the Washington Plaza Hotel, and combined all the style associated with Bond — black tie, martinis, gourmet food — with a festive party for folks who admire Bond, but who probably have never had to fight a bad guy with metal teeth named Jaws.

And then the dancing started.

Speaking of Bond, here’s a track from Radiohead — they were comissioned to write the Bond theme for the new Bond movie Spectre. The track didn’t make the movie, but you can listen to it here: http://www.radiohead.com….
