The Air-Conditioned Eden

Thursday, January 25, 2018

Not feeling well at all so I took a sick day today. Found a short yet overall comprehensive documentary on youTube titled The Air-Conditioned Eden - a British show from 1996 documenting the rise, fall, and beginnings of the resurrection  of tiki culture in the U.S. A lot has happened in the 20+ years since.


Clips of interviews with author James Michener, musician and exotica guru Martin Denny, a young Sven Kirsten, and artist/anthropologist Jeffrey Vallance make this make this essential viewing for the tiki aficionado. Would love for there to be an expanded version of this.
