Title: a smash!! Review: My first Sparks album, and what a treasure. Producer Tony Visconti helped them stretch their sound to new realms like swing jazz ("Looks, Looks, Looks"), marching band ("Get in the Swing") and pre-punk futuristic bombasity ("In The Future"). Songs like "How Are You Getting Home" retain the glam-rock wit and charm, while the uber-metal march of "Hospitality On Parade" adds a powerful irony to a song about the settlement of the Americas.Songwriter Ron Mael is in rare form here with a period piece about people stuck in a period-piece lifestyle ("It Ain't 1918") and the witty lament of a celibate marriage ("Tits") which doubles as a hell of a drinking song! Russell Mael offers a rare composition with the operatic sendup to a favorite fruit ("Pineapple") and lets not forget the irony of "Under the Table With Her", which is played with appropriate pomp by a string quartet.The brothers' greatest masterpiece in my book, at their glam-rocking, experimental best.

Title: Tomorrow & Tommorrow & Tomorrow Review: This book is a gem of Mid-Century Avant Garde, Surrealist, Fabulist & more writing. Pieces by Man Ray, Henry Miller, Paul Bowles, Camus, Borges. Stuff about Ernst, Breton, Durrell, Leger. 60 or more similar items. A fascinating short article that gives the `40s perspective on "Les chants de Maldoror;" really an underground book then. A time capsule or doorway through to a long gone, fertile period in the arts from a participant's perspective. Is this product review negative?

Title: Nice design, faulty manufacture Review: I'm normally a fan of OXO products and own many of their gadgets. These measuring cups are the first problem product I've had from OXO...both the 2 cup and 4 cup sizes cracked on the bottom of the cup, right at the plastic injection point (that little circle with the tiny bump in the center of it), and they both now leak at the crack. These cracks developed very soon after I bought them, and I only ever washed them in on the top rack of the dishwasher. Because of the design of the cups, it's kinda annoying to wash them by hand - and they're not great for measuring dry ingredients for the same reason. So mine have gone into the garbage can, replaced by the KitchenAid cups of similar appearance (although without the handy interior measuring marks). My advice, keep your receipt if you buy these. Or skip them and get the KitchenAid, which have a non-slip rubber ring on the bottom, another nice feature. And they won't crack in the dishwasher. Is this product review negative?
