This week on the Cocktail Nation Koop Kooper checks out the latest book from good buddy of the show Bill Raetz as we hear about the latest adventures of Bryce Attewelle and the World Espoinage Bureau There's our segment Ask Koop as we tackle the English language and some confusion in plurals!

Koop has the lowdown on plenty of great parties and events to attend and for the book worms we have got the news about a brand new book out about Ms Monroe from the early fifties , and sad news on the death of another icon. We'll head into the blogosphere again with a cool blog on beatniks and their cool jazz.
