...Garden still rocks. "The Animal Song" (previously released on the soundtrack for The Other Sister) is an amazingly entertaining song. Its colorful lyrics and jungle-like drumming makes you want to jump up and prance around like a little kid. The album opens with the title song, which is chock-full of fast beats, dance rhythms and excellent use of electric guitar. (Or, as Jones calls it, "'I Want You" on an adrenaline rush.") It also has clever lines. My favorite: "I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you/I believe that beauty magazines promote...
...heroine. Rescued as a girl from her family's poverty by a wealthy uncle, Fanny moves to Mansfield Park, where she lives as a quasi-servant--constantly aware of her secondary status--for the duration of the story. In the novel, Fanny is quaintly moral, and pretty much chock-full of sugar and spice and everything nice. But Rozema has taken Fanny to new heights by giving her a boldness and sauciness which the director seems to fashion after Jane Austen herself--Austen in all her fierce humanity, her devastating wit, and her deep-seated belief in the power...
...during the last diet craze was making them fat. Diet plans like the Pritikin Program of the early '80s and Susan Powter's Stop the Insanity! in 1993 caused a run on processed low-fat food like SnackWell's and frozen yogurt.

So instead of the 1994 book Butter Busters, we now have Sugar Busters! and a series of the most...
...little you can say in self-defense when caught reading "Nine and a Half Months: Bernadette Noll Can't Get Enough Pregnant Sex" at 3 a.m. But this is the type of embarrassment for which Nerve's contributors and editors have no concern; their Web site (http://www.nerve.com) is chock full of twisted tales of procreation, artsy pictures of naked people and analytical essays on strange sexual topics...
...Spooky, a. k. a. That Subliminal Kid, a. k. a. Paul D. Miller, is a founder of the New York illbient sound, which blends the urban, rhythmic edge of hip-hop, dub and jungle with the abstract, ambient noise techniques of French musique concrte. And Subliminal Minded is chock-full of the sound. DJ Wally, the Dub Pistols, Karsh Kale and DJ Spooky himself reconstruct four songs from Riddim Warfare, ranging from the delicious spy-movie groove of the Dub Pistols' "Peace in Zaire" mix to the spastic percussion of Karsh Kale's "Futureproof in Zaire." Interspersed among the more...
