deep-sea crabbers in an emerging fast-food civilization on Unalaska Island, Alaska--North America's westernmost point--was taken on a European screening tour by its filmmakers, University of Southern California alumnus Braden King and Homer, Alaska's Laura Moya. A collection of Chicago musicians, including Will Oldham of Palace, Jim O'Rourke and Rick Rizzo of Eleventh Dream Day, and Douglas McCombs of Tortoise, performed live improvisations to the film's visuals as Boxhead Ensemble. This collection--recorded in Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands--is every bit as shimmery and austere as one would expect of such frozen surroundings: sudden bursts of melodica or guitar breaking over the horizon like the weak, placebo sun that can never dispel the cold. Occasional snippets of dialogue augment the gentle, sawing, ambient buzz. --Rob O'Connor

Advantages: Good value for money, excellent deals, very helpful staff. Disadvantages: Have to buy own food. Might have go tit cheaper if booked at last minute.
I have waited to post this opinion until I had actually booked the holiday, which I did this morning. I wasn’t goingto post it first and let you lot beat me to the Travel Agents! Ha! There aint no flies on carolinesite ;-)
Firstly, after writing my opinion about a cruise I had in 1995, I felt I wanted another holiday like that. I picked up a few brochures from the GoingPlaces shop, and sat down with a cup of coffee. I was horrified at how much the prices had gone up in 6 years. They were asking about £1,000 per person for a weeks cruise and a week on land, compared to £650 in 1995. I know prices go up, but a 40% increase in 6 years is disgusting. I gave that idea up.
Next, I looked through the Airtours Summer 2001 brochure. I was mainly looking for All Inclusive holidays, as they are good value for money. I wanted ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Inaccurate brochure descriptions and apalling customer service
holiday we exchanged several letters and phone calls with GoingPlaces regarding suitable offers of compensation. For a holiday that cost £450 each we were offered £50 in total. The process of complaining became so tiresome that we did not end up even accepting that.
Overall I was shocked and disappointed with the appalling customer service of such a well known and established company. I have refused to book through them since. ...

up in my eyes and before I knew it there were tears rolling down my cheeks. It was quite embarrassing although I'm not sure if all the other passengers noticed. If you are inclined to be a bit emotional then I would not recommend reading this book in a public place!
The storyline was excellent with many twists and turns and the pace was nice and brisk which made you want to keep on reading. There were a number of different storylines to follow and these were all intertwined very well. This enabled the author to explore different characters' viewpoints and I really enjoyed this aspect of the novel. I was captivated from the first word and my interest did not dwindle throughout.
This book is definitely not chick lit but it is modern women's fiction at its best. If you enjoy this type of reading I would definitely recommend The Lastto Know ...

Album Reviews
The Wire (1/99, p.49) - "...it remains resolutely low key but compulsive, an unclassifiable mixture of jazz and avant rock....Although this music acknowledges its filmic origins, it ultimately transcends them, taking on an independent life that reflects the intuitive nature of the project." CMJ (11/09/98, p.22) - "offering music of stark, icy beauty...the mood is set so well that your ears become more attuned and appreciative..."
