Our Noise by Jeff Gomez, ISBN 0684800993
Craig is armed with a college degree that has so far brought him nothing, certain that something better is just around the corner but unable to encounter it. He's been cohabiting with Ashley since college, and is caught in the dilemma of whether to break up with her or give in to marriage. Meanwhile, Ashley's efforts to earn a graduate degree seem futile considering that her diploma has taken up residence under the sofa cushions. Stuck in dead-end jobs; weary of commercial, corporate, and parental influences; searching for their own identities; Ashley, Craig, and the other characters of Our Noise find refuge in the brash world of indie rock, thrift stores, coffee houses, zines, and cheap beers. There are Eileen, who ends up in Kitty, Virginia, by accident and forgets to leave, and the members of Bottlecap, Kitty's hometown band, trying to decide whether to sell out and go to the West Coast or continue in the life of a small band. Chipp and Randy start a zine as a way to get their blood flowing for the first time even as Dave, the struggling founder of Violent Revolution Records, works as a waiter to fund his record label.

Surreal Things
From the sensuality of Salvador Dals Mae West Lips Sofa to Elsa Schiaparellis extraordinary Tear dress, Surrealism produced some of the most emotive objects of the twentieth century. In this important study, published to accompany a major international exhibition, Ghislaine Wood examines in detail Surrealisms influence in the fields of design and the decorative arts and its sometimes uneasy relationship with the commercial world.
A celebration of contradiction, "Surreal Things" presents a dizzying range of works from Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, Alexander Calder, Max Ernst, Joan Mir, and many others, in media as varied as painting, sculpture, works on paper, book bindings, jewelry, ceramics, glass, textiles, furniture, fashion, film and photography. Many works are published here for the first time.

Sunshine on Putty: The Golden Age of British Comedy, from Vic Reeves to the Office
In the 1990s, comedians seemed to dominate every sphere of Britain's cultural life. So perhaps it was fitting that in a decade when politics, sports, art, literature, and even religion threatened to become branches of light entertainment, the best British comedies--"The Office, The Day Today, The Fast Show, Shooting Stars, Father Ted, I'm Alan Partridge, The League of Gentlemen, The Royle Family--offered the clearest picture of what was happening to the country. This provocative, very funny book unearths the true twisted beauty of British comedy's psychic root system: from the stains on Caroline Aherne's sofa to Ricky Gervais' self-destructive love affair with dairy products. Ben Thompson writes for "THE INDEPENDENT, THE FACE, and "GQ.
