...tell the post office, but cookies travel pretty darn well, even third class. Wrapped in wax paper and fresh from the freezer to the mail counter, quality morsels can travel sea to shining sea without too much damage to their taste. (There can be a pulverizing effect, however, so I recommend a sturdy shoebox.) Only your smile might give away the nature of the treasured contents when you go to claim them. And so the remedy to college food ho-hums may be closer then the next family holiday meal: prepare to enjoy the taste of home on your very...

Those who might be tired of "Iris" will welcome its mandolin and violins to break up the thickness of guitar, bass and drums characterizing the rest of this album. The strangest quality of the music of Dizzy Up the Girl, however, is just how darn upbeat it is. Most songs move to quick-paced rhythms and, at the chorus, slide up scales for an almost uplifting effect. The music, in fact, tends to belie the plaintiveness of the lyrics. How the Goo Dolls write something so dolorous as, "See the young man sitting/In...
