Cocktail Nation

This week we open the pages of Era Magazine, explore the latest discoveries from the world of lounge, and travel through the sounds and style of a more glamorous age.
In Lounge Life Magazine, we visit homes that captured the dream of tomorrow, while the Stuff Segment takes us into the Pacific during World War II for the incredible survival story of a young naval officer who would later become one of the world’s most famous figures.
Plus, a mysterious piece of Canberra furniture may contain secrets from the Cold War, we’ll discover what’s happening in the world of swank, and reflect on a thought that might just change how you see the objects around you.
So pour yourself something sophisticated, sit back, and join me… Koop Kooper… for Cocktail Nation

This week on Cocktail Nation, we’re stepping into the shadows with a little international intrigue as SpyVibe takes us deep into the strange and stylish world of Branded to Kill — the legendary Japanese spy noir where assassins, mystery and surreal 1960s cool collide.
 
We’ll explore a lost cinematic gem, discover why tiki culture continues to make a triumphant comeback, and take a trip back to the days when advertising campaigns looked more like declarations of war — including Melbourne’s bizarre battle against a very dangerous enemy.
 
Plus, we’ll open the mailbag with a tiki dilemma, check out what’s happening in the world of swank, discover new sounds from Draculina
 
So pour yourself something sophisticated, dim the lights, and settle into another edition of Cocktail Nation.
