Advantages: Great working of the 60s Cambodian pop sound, some great lyrics Disadvantages: Don't understand all lyrics
-legged Tibetan nose-flautists, we want the real thing, not Giles and Miranda sitting in mummy?s gazebo churning out the sounds of downtown Jakarta from a well-tended garden in the Home Counties.
DengueFever are one exception; a band that are so cool and pull off the Cambodian 1960s pop-psychedelia thing so well I can forgive them their rather mundane Los Angeles roots. Like their name, DengueFever are highly infectious and the catchy numbers of their third album ?Venus on Earth? , while not breaking any new ground for the band, see them go from strength to strength with a collection of competently played and composed pop songs.
A friend introduced me to Cambodian pop music through a compilation CD; I?d no idea there?d been such a thriving pop scene in the country at the time and to find out that the genre has such a strong following today ...
Advantages: Lovely orangey smell, hides bad smells, long lasting Disadvantages: expensive
Lynx Fever - Deodorant Bodyspray - with Brazilian Orange Essence
Well hello folks, its me again! The Hairy One back to review another of my favourite products, and oh boy do I have a biggy here for you today... product I mean!!!
You see I came by this stuff completely by accident. Literally it just happened, but ever since that fateful day I have been hooked.

... I'm lying to her.
... But for a very good reason.
Read on...
Why I bought it
OK I'm lying to her. As far as I see it, its not a big lie, and its something I'm working on so very very hard so I don't have to lie anymore ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Lynx Fever
Advantages: Superb performances. Beautiful soundtrack. Disadvantages: Too many close-ups. A little shudder-inducing in parts.
Despite eight nominations for best actor in the Academy Award, Peter O'Toole has never actually won an Oscar. Incredible, considering some of the memorable and well-loved roles he has played during his forty+ year film career (remember Lawrence of Arabia and the Man of Le Mancha - to name but two). His latest nomination was only this year in 2007 for his role in the film Venus.
Venus was not (in my opinion) one of O'Toole's finest roles or one his more endearing. Without O'Toole however, the film would have been lacking. It was O'Toole's screen presence that carried the film and made what could have been a faux-pas into something strangely absorbing and worth watching.
Venus is the result of collaboration between screenwriter Hanif Kureishi and director Roger Michell. This is the second film the pair have made together ...

Album Notes
Dengue Fever: Zac Holtzman (vocals, guitar); Chhom Nimal (vocals); David Ralicke (horns); Ethan Holtzman (keyboards); Senon Gaius Williams (bass guitar); Paul Dreux Smith (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Gordon "Nappy G" Clay (percussion). Recording information: Box Kite, Los Angeles, CA. This Los Angeles-based band features a Cambodian vocalist (she sings in both English and Khmer) and takes as its primary inspiration the Cambodian rock of the 1960s. As there isn't exactly an overload of bands playing retro-psychedelic Cambodian rock in America in the 2000s, Dengue Fever stands out, and especially so with their beautifully realized second album, VENUS ON EARTH. Dengue Fever's music is a heady cocktail of reverb-laden guitar, Farfisa organ, horns, and shuffling rhythms that channels jazz, lounge music, Southeast Asian pop, and spy movie music. "Woman in Her Shoes" sounds like a cross between Nico and the Zombies, and "Seeing Hands" recalls a mix of the Velvet Underground and a Bollywood tune, while "Monsoon of Perfume" is as effortlessly entrancing as Roy Orbison. In short, it's hard to classify VENUS ON EARTH, which is exactly what makes it refreshing.
Album Reviews
Spin (p.96) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "VENUS ON EARTH feels impulsive and rich, rippling with surf psychedelia and exultant brass swing." Uncut (p.78) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]hey've moved further from pastiche....So beautifully and effectively, in fact, that they end up giving fusion a good name." Mojo (Publisher) (p.110) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[Their] horizons broaden....A set that grows in strength with each play." Blender (Magazine) (pp.97-98) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[F]ront-loaded with the transcendent 'Seeing Hands' and the savvy bicultural duets 'Tiger Phone Card' and 'Sober Driver'."
