Spyvibe-Branded to Kill

  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.       Mark Doyle - Noir Alley Acorn Lane - Limo Spa  Naozumi Yamamoto- Killer Blues Naozumi Yamamoto- Hitman Bossa Nova The Sharps - The Odd Couple  Project Pimento - Whatever Lola Wants  Indigo Swing - Reet, Petite & Gone Lushy - Toast  Nutty - Rumba With The Devil  Clouseux - Beyond Good and Evil MR Ho's Orchestrotica - Arab Dance  Vibes On Velvet - Spookmaster Draculina - Tender Dracula Mancini-Peter Gunn Theme Dino Martinis- Ring Voodoo Organist - The Chow Chow Cha-Cha
