Words With Wellsy-Star Trek Memories

Author: Cocktail Nation with Lounge Leader Koop Kooper June 21, 2025 Duration: 1:02:52
This week on The Cocktail Nation, I’m inviting you to sink into the velvet as we unravel another round of Words with Wellsy—this time, he’s got thoughts that drift from the final frontier to the space between your ears. A curious case of civil disobedience sweetens our Stuff Segment, and we ponder paradoxes in Deep Thought. The World of Swank Gig Guide lines up the soirées worth your time, and we close with a cinematic soundscape from Ixtahuele’s new release, House of the Gods. www.cocktailnation.net Nutty – The Boys Are Back At Dino's Sinatra – Mr. Success Jetset Sweden – Star Trek JG Thirlwell – Woodhouse Tikiyaki 5-0 – The Ipcress File Vibexotica – Only The Sea Endures Voodoo 5 – Sonorous Desert Alessandro Alessandroni – Primavera Messer Chups – Humanica Combustible Edison – Call of the Space Siren Project K-67 – Sirocco Ixtahuele – House of the Gods Exotik-A Go Go – In the Lounge of the Tiki King Earl Hagan- I spy  Mr Moai and the Tikiheads – Señor Moai --

Step into the sophisticated, retro-futuristic world of Cocktail Nation, hosted from a Sydney Penthouse by the one and only Lounge Leader, Koop Kooper. This isn't just a music show; it's a weekly audio escape into the cool, crisp sound of martini shakers and the smooth grooves of a bygone era. Each episode of this podcast is a carefully curated session where classic lounge meets its modern descendant, neo-lounge, creating a seamless soundtrack for the stylishly inclined. Kooper doesn't just spin records; he brings the scene to life with conversations from the most interesting characters found in the swankier corners of culture-musicians, artists, and connoisseurs of the good life. Tune in and you'll hear stories woven between tracks, a blend of charismatic interview and impeccable musical selection that feels like an invitation to an exclusive, yet wonderfully welcoming, party. The vibe is consistently laid-back, intelligent, and dedicated to the artistry of cool. For anyone who appreciates the finer notes in both music and conversation, Cocktail Nation delivers a distinct and transporting experience, one perfectly mixed episode at a time.
