Actor Sean Connery (1930-2020) and game show host Alex Trebek (1940-2020) leaving our plane of existence so close apart feels cruel, particularly in this bizarre year, so along with some Jeopardy hijinx, we'll profile a mix of James Bond music, focusing primarily on 1971's Diamonds are Forever as scored by the legendary John Barry.

This feels close in spirit to the old XHM mixtapes of the 1990s, though I said that I played the trailer to You Only Live Twice but I obviously didn't. The game remains afoot.
