L'Amour Actually: Falling in Love in the Heart of France , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 636min
The woman was one of those irritating expat types who felt she owed it to the world to impart on her all her superior knowledge of life in France. I realised that if I didn’t stop her now, she’d be bending my ear all the way to Bergerac.Actually", I said, leaning in toward the woman, "I’m planning to integrate my way into the boxers of the first good-looking Frenchman I see. Can’t think of any better way to learn the language myself. You wouldn’t happen to know the French for "fancy a shag?" would you? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi just seems a bit 1970s these days."After one particularly bad day at work, advertising executive and confirmed city girl Melanie Jones decides to give up her old life in search of something new and simpler in South West France. With little knowledge of the country, even less of the language, and just the memory of a disastrous school French exchange and a few day trips to Calais, she embarks on her adventure with a suitcase full of optimism and not a little bit of naivety. After all, how different can life in France be?After a series of adventures with skirt-ripping tractors, handsome twin farmers, celebrity not-quite-beens, unusual toilets and a bonkers ex-pat community, all topped up, of course, with lashings of rosé, Melanie begins to discover that her new life in France isn’t quite what she’d thought it would be. ungekürzt.

Fresh from the Sea and Other Short Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min
Will Gnà Peppina give her customers what they need, even if it’s more than food?What pleasures can a man indulge in after his wife has put him on a draconian diet?Who will be able to cook dinner for the family with five euros?Five humorous short stories ablaze with the Sicilian sunshine, vibrating with the singsongs of the street sellers, fragrant with the scent of the sea.Written by Stefania Hartley, The Sicilian Mama."Full of atmosphere, fun and warmth. It’s an absolutely charming read." (Shirley Blair, senior editor of The People’s Friend magazine, on the short story "Cooking with Franca")“I don’t just give them food […] I give them what they need!”So says Gnà Peppina in Stefania Hartley’s utterly delightful short story collection, Fresh from the Sea and Other Short Stories. The unifying theme is food, but Italian family life is at the heart of this collection and what a vibrant depiction of family life it is! In “Five Euro Challenge”, a husband and wife compete to buy the ingredients for a family meal for under five euros, while in “Gnà Peppina”, the story of widow Gnà Peppina is cleverly served over five courses with an extra sweet ending. In “Forbidden Pleasures” Marta suspects that giving up sugar has led her husband into other, more worrying temptations....There is a freshness and candour about Hartley’s writing. Her tongue is as sharp as a Sabatier knife but there’s always a twinkle in her eye. The imagery is deft and evocative, whether we’re encountering “belligerent lobsters” at the fish market, or Amanda the bimbo with her red Ferrari lips at Carla and Massimo’s party. Hartley’s characters come alive from the very first line and hold your attention right to the end."Hartley doesn’t just give us stories, she gives us a slice of Italian life served with lashings of charm and wit. Highly recommended!" (Ella Hayes, author of Her Brooding Scottish Heir)"In th ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stefania Hartley.

Deena in Chains on Valentine's Day (My Intense Bondage and Domination Experience): A Rough BDSM Stranger Sex Erotica Story - Valentine's Love and Lashings, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min, (USK 18)
Bondage and Domination Erotica Publishing presents this intensely erotic story from Melanie Daunting. What would you do if your roommate insisted you go out on Valentine's Day to get over a breakup and you ended up at a total stranger's apartment? What if that stranger told you he was going to tie you up and take you hard? That's just what happens to Deena, and the bondage and domination experience is like no other - with spanking, deep throat, and her first anal sex! Please note: Bondage and Domination Erotica Publishing specializes in rough BDSM fantasies, but these stories are not reality. In truth, BDSM is not about sudden situations but requires very careful planning and communication. Don't interpret a story like this as a guide for behavior. It's a sexy fantasy, not a how-to manual. Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of sexual activity and includes sex with a stranger, bondage, spanking, nipple torment, rough deep throat, first anal sex, ass to mouth, humiliation, and more. Only mature adults who won't find that offensive should listen to this story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amber Fire.

Premium Vienna - Wien
When Vienna is mentioned, the usual clichés inevitably spring to mind: Schloss Schönbrunn and the city's vast cathedral, chocolaty Sachertorte with lashings of whipped cream, Mozart, the Vienna Boys' Choir and couples in tails and ball gowns waltzing to Johann Strauß. There are also the more general Austrian associations of snow-capped peaks against brilliantly blue skies, gingerbread churches stuffed with fat-faced Baroque cherubs and rosy-cheeked girls in dirndls running up mountains and bursting into song as in The Sound of Music.Many aspects of this postcard idyll do actually exist. Not to be disputed the charm and beauty of many areas of the former imperial capital - from the narrow medieval streets and dwellings of the centre to the elegant suburb of Spittelberg to the wine villages of Grinzing and Nussdorf. Many of the wine taverns, pubs and coffee houses here have clung to a modicum of imperial and royal Habsburg plush despite Austria being a republic for many decades. And which romantic heart doesn't beat all the faster on espying one of Vienna's many horse-drawn carriages doing its gentle rounds of the Ring?Over 350 marvellous photos show the Danube metropolis in all its glorious variety: its mighty churches and palaces, its splendid boulevards and tiny medieval streets, its sophisticated shopping malls and temples of sublime art, all of which help to create an absolutely unique atmosphere in this city hovering between the past and the present. Six specials tell of the powerful Habsburg dynasty, the city's famous musical history, its art ancient and modern, Schloss Schönbrunn, contemporary Viennese architecture and its legendary wine taverns.Ist von Wien die Rede, kommen jedem wohl zunächst unweigerlich klischeehafte Bilder in den Sinn: Schloss Schönbrunn und der Stephansdom, die Sachertorte mit Schlagobers, die weißen Lipizzaner-Pferde, die Sängerknaben und Walzerkönig Strauß. Hinzu gesellen sich mit Blick auf die Umgebung im Geiste pausbäckig-barocke Putten und Madonnen, Gumpoldskirchner und Kremser Weine, Schuberts Landpartien oder Beethovens "Wegerl" durchs Helenental.Viele Aspekte der Ansichtskartenidyllen entsprechen dabei durchaus der Wirklichkeit. Zahlreiche Ecken der ehemaligen Kaiserstadt, von den mittelalterlichen Gässchen und Höfen der City über das "Vorstadtkrätzl" Spittelberg bis hinaus zu den Heurigenrevieren Grinzing und Nussdorf, sind in der Tat von kaum zu überbietender Lieblichkeit. In nicht wenigen Heurigen, Beisln und Kaffeehäusern haben sich Restbestände kaiserlich-königlicher Gemütlichkeit aus der Habsburgerepoche über all die republikanischen Jahrzehnte bewahrt. Und welches Romantikerherz gerät nicht ins Jauchzen beim Anblick der vielen Fiaker, die gemächlichen Gangs auf der Ringstraße ihre Runden drehen?Über 310 grandiose Bilder zeigen die unglaublich vielfältigen Facetten der Donaumetropole - die mächtigen Gotteshäuser und Schlösser, die Prachtstraßen und mittelalterlichen Gässchen, die vornehmen Einkaufspassagen und die Tempel der hehren Kunst samt der einzigartigen Atmosphäre zwischen Geschichte und Moderne. Sechs Specials berichten über das mächtige Herrschergeschlecht der Habsburger, die berühmte Musikgeschichte der Stadt, über alte und neue Kunst, über das Schloss Schönbrunn, moderne Wiener Architektur und die legendären Heurigen. - Der opulente Band ist auch in deutscher Sprache erhältlich!PREMIUMXL-Bildband - - - ein Bildband mit stabilem Schmuckschuber, fast 3kg Buch - - - professionelle Fotografie von renommierten Reisefotografen - - - Bis zu 400 großformatige Bilder auf 224 Seiten - - - Alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten - - - Kultur und Traditionen - - - Kenntnis- und umfangreiche Texte - - - Ausführliche Bildunterschriften - - - Viele Spezialthemen - - - Farbige Übersichtskarte - - - Detailliertes Register - - - Ein ideales Geschenk, auch für sich selbst.- Shop: buecher

Bong 93 E.P
Recent press and radio The E.P has recieved airplay from radio stations across the world incuding Radio one - Huw Stephens Radio one - Rob Da Bank Josef Sedlon, Radio 1 (Prague) Tilos FM Radio, Bucharest (Hungary) Alooga Radio (Germany) Fuel, Xm Radio (Chicago, USA) DI FM, Duy do (USA) 209 radio (UK) the Alien air show on KXLU FM Radio (Cal, US) Fm cocolo (Japan) Angus Robinson, Money shot radio, Proton (US) Spacelab (US) Ibreaks - Lifecycle show (UK) FREAKIN RADIO - UNDERGROUND WEB BEATS It has also recieved some Good reviews Magazine Reviews Textura mag Bong 93 presents four aggressive samplings of dance-oriented futurama from Dogmixer (London, UK-based electronica producer/musician Matt Watts). The title cut's all acidy mayhem and grinding breaks while Watts' dystopic blend of chugging electro-techno gets a panoramic workout on 'Who Are You?' In a funky, breaks-centered remix, Lifecycle (Geoff Dent) turns 'Bong 93' into a tripped-out blaze of drums and percussion. The EP's best cut might be 'Mind in Motion (666 remix)' where Watts pairs a cryptic voiceover with an elastically tight locomotive steam that verges on trance it's so insistent. The Dogmixer style is purposefully punk-flavoured but isn't so tough that emotive melodies don't find their way into the mix now and then. Bong 93 is both Dogmixer's second EP and Replicant Society's second release and bodes well for both (future releases include a label comp and Dogmixer's Telecommunications full-length). January 2007 Barcode magazine New release from London-based producer/musician Matt Watts on his own record label, Replicant Society. Bong 93 is Dogmixer's third EP release, and having heard this I wouldn't mind investigating those either. Four tracks are on show - the title track opening with gusto, a sharply produced instrumental with edgy guitar sounds buried amongst lashings of warbling keys and film samples - it's thick on atmosphere. Virtually all the tracks follow this path, and whilst there's nothing particularly original going on, the mood, melodies and production ensure captivating results. Who Are You? is a marvellous track, bustling along like a steam train with seething synths winding around a cacophony of speech samples and chugging rhythms - the speeded beats are repetitive but appropriate. This track in particular reminded me of a band called Noise Unit - a side-project by Bill Leeb & Rhys Fulber. All in all, a very solid release of fast-paced atmospheric dance/soundtrack music with some choice melodies - well worth investigating 7.5/10 365 mag Dogmixer is the moniker of British producer Matt Watts, a versatile producer in the field of electronic music since 2002 who refuses to be categorized as a ´one-style only artist´. Eclectisism is his middle name, as he has been exploring the realsm of electronica, techno, IDM and, using the Dogmixer alias, breaks. Bong 93 is the 2nd EP released under the Dogmixer alias that already saw the support of Rob Da Bank, Huw Stevens and leftfield club DJ's. The release starts off with the original version of Bong 93, which immediately kicks in with a supersonic sequence of breaks ans warm synthesizers. Unlike other breakbeat-esque tracks, this one comes with a rather futuristic vibe. The choice of trancey synths, warm sound effects and intense drum sounds result in a unique atmosphere that made me think of a high-speed video racing game. Nice one! Who Are You? introduces a series of soft synths and reverb sounds, after which the rhythm kicks. The beats and percussion are in a less complex structure as in Bong 93, yet the dark synths and effects give this one a similar sonic vibe in full overdrive. The break features a trancending and dreamy blend of various synths and bleeps, after which the track rock on with more ferocious beats and cool effetcs. Track number three, entitled Mind In Motion (666 Remix) reduces the tempo to a more housey groove, with a cool vocal sample introducing the actual rhythm. The cool thing about this one is that it features that warm atmosphere as heard in the uptempo breaks tracks, but that the frenzy beats have been replaced with easy-going beats and claps. Progressive meets house, resulting in a fine piece of electronic music. Closing the disc is Bong 93 (Lifecycle Remix), which builds up to a solid rhythm with an uptempo sequence full of bongo's, drums and a sliced-up vocal sample. The rhythm sounds more mechanic on this one, like a factory machine on acid, but it will certainly be of big effect on dancefloors and festivals. The synths on this one are great, adding real value and melody to the track, without scaring the ladies off the dancefloor. Bong 93 is a remarkable release in the breaks genre, as it features a supersonic vibe that is unique in it's kind. For some reason, the sound of it made me feel like tuning my car, building in a 100.000 watt subwoofer, and race towards the horizon while breaking the sound barrier. Well, something like that anyway. I can recommned this release to any break DJ who is into prolific sounds and intelligent strutures, as it is more than able to raise the level of adrenaline of people regardless of their location. Youri Jozee (NL) 7.5/10 One week to live Magazine Starting with a sample of Patrick McGoohan's proclamation about not being a number, this one fights it's way out of the 'phones with a jumbled beat and some killer synths. At times, it seems the drumming is random, missing beats here and there and adding too many at one time, but it's clearly intentional and it works. Over the top of this is an exhilarating electro treble synth that zigzags over the breakdown, underpinned by a foundation of wah wah sounding bass synth and machine gun drum fills. Flip side 'Who are you?' is a bass laden breakbeat number, with shards of techno bristling out of it like a sonic hedgehog. 'Mind in Motion' throws down a swerving piano bassline, and is quite the deep house number. A nice contrast. 5/7 Tasty fanzine Bong 93 is a dance-friendly intelligent techno type affair which joins the likes of Glasgow's Satellite Dub and Paul Hartnoll's solo stuff in forging a way for new, more organic sounding electro. Reverbing keyboard melodies are the mainstay of the sound over the top of the break beats which underpin a driving rhythm, especially in 'Who Are You?'. Spartan use of some film track sci-fi samples and a an off kilter breakdown after about 4 minutes make for exciting listening. The housier 'Mind in Motion' deals in more lightly off-kilter key changes, unpredictable stop starts and more clever use of samples to animate the pauses and string the whole thing together. Accomplished work. Butterfly crush mag Dogmixer, Bong 93 EP On Bong 93, a Christmas release-date collection of markedly un-festive electronic wizardry, dystopia-fascinated Londoner Matt Watts presents - as promised - a sterner, more breakbeat-familiar proceeding than that offered by his Coasting EP of 2005. Happily, it transpires, the potency of the seductive, oneiric mystique that is Matt Dogmixer's calling-card is none the worse for it. On this EP's title track, the insect-like penetration of acid bass and a scuzzy grime-scene hook press darkly, like sentient forest-shadows, inwards and downwards on the listener's space. Otherworldly melody and dialogue sampled from The Prisoner, a show with scripts famously rich in metaphysical suggestion and psychotropic experimentation, complete one's impression of an electronic soundscape symbolising the unconscious mind - music for the world dreaming badly. The track's reworking by Lifecycle, more linear in form and less attritional in tone, is shrewd and efficient in drawing out and heightening both the hypnotic rhythmic impetus and the melancholic unease of the original mix. 'Who Are You?' constructs a more rapid and assassin-stealthy vehicle for the transmission of the Dogmixer's compelling spectral atmospheres and melodies, but reproduces to a tee the air of psychological intrigue and a- Shop: odax
