Product review: SPIKE JONZE DOES NOT OWN GIRL SKATEBOARDS. Unless there was a recent development, Girl is a company started and owned by a certain Rick Howard, professional skateboarder. I would , however, recommend all of his Spike's Girl skateboards videos, especially MOUSE, which along with Welcome tko Hell, formed a special period in the short history of skateboarding. This book has nothing to do with the artform I grew up with, (im 20) in the sense that skateboarding is something to be experienced first... reminisced about later, and the objects of inquiry are themselves, not that interesting or complicated.

Product review: Can a book be goofy, ironic, sweet, romanic and sad? This one can. I've never read anything quite like it and am now interested in reading more Irving books to see what other surprises he may have in store. Unlike other reviewers, I did care about the characters and while they were broadly drawn at first, Mr. Irving brought them to life. It is true that we often spend a lot of time looking at the surfaces people show us, totally unaware of how deep they really are--that's one of the very profound things this very funny book has to say.

Review title: Talking Heads met The Clash Product review: These guys rock. I guess they sound a lot like some of the best 80's bands but in a completely new style. Some sort of folksy punk if that would be possible. Something like Siouxsie & The Banshees mixed with They Might Be Giants... Maybe it is the new millennium goth. I love all the songs and can't stop playing it!
