Book Description

One part memoir, one part political platform, the bass player of Nirvana-the most heralded and influential rock band of the past 20 years-tells the story of his own musical and political coming-of-age. From his relationship to Kurt Cobain to his evolution as a political activist, Novoselic's passion, intelligence and integrity come shining through in this moving and inspirational book.

Though Krist Novoselic will undoubtedly be forever best known as a member of Nirvana, his accomplishments go far beyond that remarkable achievement. Nirvana was a band with a conscience, and as a major label act they regularly played benefits-the first Rock For Choice show, a major concert in support of gay rights, and a legendary gig that raised money for the Balkan Women's Aid Fund.

In 1995, Novoselic founded JAMPAC (Joint Artists and Music Promotions Political Action Committee), a proactive organization that advocated on behalf of Washington state's music community. Novoselic's work with JAMPAC helped Seattle club owners find ways to host all-ages shows and was instrumental in helping to overturn the infamous Teen Dance Ordinance. And sometimes making music and making a statement go hand in hand, as when Novoselic, Soundgarden's Kim Thayil and drummer Gina Mainwal backed Jello Biafra as the "No W.T.O. Combo" at a show performed during the World Trade Organization conference held in Seattle in 1999.

There have been other musical endeavors since Nirvana, as well as new causes (Novoselic is a strong -supporter of electoral reform, an issue he writes about extensively on his website www.fixour.us). The one constant is Novoselic's desire to continue making progressive contributions to the community-and to keep on making good music.

Krist Novoselic currently lives in Seattle, Washington.

Popular Music, Popular Government.......2006-12-18

Most of the world knows Novoselic as the bassist from the grunge band Nirvana. I know him as a neighbor and participant in local affairs. He is calm, well-spoken, careful with his words. And this is more than apparent in his book. There is no hysteria here; the book suffers from no hype. He merely -- and quite elegantly -- moves from the discussion of his participation in one of the great rock bands of all time to his participation in politics. And he offers a well thought-out discussion of the political reform he considers most important: Instant Runoff Voting.

We need, he argues, to make democracy relevant to more voters. And voters today realize quite well how rigged the current system is. It is rigged to decrease the breadth of ideas, the breadth of interests represented.

He believes that allowing voters with alternative views -- views alternative to the straitjacket of Left and Right, Democratic and Republican -- to vote for their views and yet not be penalized by our first-past-the-post plurality vote electoral system.

It's an interesting case. I'm sympathetic, though I am more interested in Condorcet voting than IRV. Still, Novoselic makes a clear, even compelling case for his favored reform. He wishes to bring government under greater citizen control by giving citizens the tools actually to do this. Very good. The book is highly recommended, even to those who don't give a fig about grunge rock. The engineering of democracy should be of interest to everybody, no?

amazing , it kept me reading.......2006-02-18

i started reading this and i couldn't put it down. it was so interesting and it really opened up my eyes. krist is and amazing musician and this proves he is also an amazing writer. he deserves a lot of credit, for picking up the pieces after kurt died and for still succeeding in everything he does. you all should read this, its an awsome book.

A great gift for music fans and potential punk rock activists.......2005-11-18

I saw Krist read from this book at a music festival this summer. I was impressed by his passion and commitment but also by his detailed knowledge of the issues surrounding democratic reform. Perhaps he's not the most elegant writer, his prose is engaging and straightforward. It's a fun, quick, and inspiring read. I give copies out to teenage aspiring rockers who populate my town's all-ages shows as a way of teaching them about the history of underground music and also as a way of helping them figure out why it's important to be politically engaged.

Tellin' it like it is.........2005-09-14

I think Krist Novoselic is a) A very kind human being b) a very smart human being c)an excellent musician d) more knowledgable about politics and government thatn I could ever be. This book is a testement to Novoselic's lust to learn about his country and how it works, and coming from a rock and roll party guy to someone who realized there was more to life than that. This book, Of grunge and government, is not aimed at stuck up intellectual snobs, and is not fit for their tongue wagging. This book is aimed at regular people, like myself, who know little about government and politics (for plain ignorance or lack of interest) and make it understandable and interesting, all while giving some new ideas toward improving things. I bought this mainly cause of the grunge aspect, but I found it to be thought provoking and worthwhile. Conservative jerks might lambast it (as here in this review forum), but Novoselic is no simpleton, ranter, or idealogue. He is what Dr. Phil wishes he was but could never be: the real deal.

What a complete load of bullsh*t, mmkay!!!.......2005-06-20

I tried to read this book mmkay, but it had more contradictory statements in it than Cartman's paper about eating food and tryin' to be skinny, mmmkay? I think he writes like Cartman, mmkay, because he writes so crappy mmmkay.

Let's try to leave the Nirvana bullhonkey aside because it is so overrated and craptacular, mmkay?

Book Description

This essential reference is a handy guide to the often confusing world of cultural theory. Its entries provide accessible introductions to the key cultural theorists of the 19th and 20th centuries, their central concepts and main arguments, and their major works and formative influences. An extensive introduction sets these figures in their appropriate intellectual and historical contexts, and the explanation for each thinker offers links to other seminal minds in the study of culture, as well as a guide to further reading.

Perfectly done.......2004-08-27

The Glasswalkers have the most interesting history among the tribes, and this tribebook brings it out perfectly. From all the various names the tribe has had, the book not only covers them, but lists the gifts that each version would have. if you are the least bit interested in the "Weaver tribe", then get this book.

True Werewolves in London (& NYC, Rome, Paris, etc.).......2001-12-03

Thought all werewolves just stalked the forest. Not the Glass Walkers. They love technology. With it they fight for Gaea against the Wyrm.

This book has all sorts of new fetishes, skills, and advantages/drawbacks. For a HOWLING good time, pick up this book.

I can't wait for the new edition to come out.

Book Description

Whether you're frustrated with current PC offerings (and their inflated prices) or are simply looking for a cool project to take on, building a computer from the ground up using off-the-shelf parts can offer significant advantages. In these pages, computer dudes Darrel Wayne Creacy and Carlito Vicencio outline those advantages and then show you how to build the computer of your dreams.

The pair begins by explaining what components make up a PC and what you need to think about when selecting those components, before helping you determine your needs and suggesting various configurations to fit those uses. Breaking the process down into its simplest terms, the authors provide component lists for a number of different PC setups: for students, home users, multimedia/home-theater enthusiasts, high-end graphic/video/audio producers, and more.

Using plain language and plenty of visual and instructional aids--photos, illustrations, diagrams, step-by-step directions, and more--the authors ensure that even someone (like you!) who knows nothing about technology can build the perfect PC!

On a more personal note, the authors are donating a percentage of their income from this book to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation–to thank all the women in their lives who have supported them and battled the disease. For more information about BCRF, please visit http://www.bcrfcure.org/.

Out-of-date, thin, and misleading.......2007-07-15

Out-of-date: Several recommendations here are way too conservative for 2007.

Thin: There really isn't very much information in this book. After ten pages of a pep talk about how much money you can save--which is misleading because what you really get is more quality for the same price--the book gives a nice breakdown of major components of a computer in 30 pages. The five-page "What kind of user are you?" is helpful, too. But that's really it! The rest of the book makes recommendations about what kind of hardware to buy for the type of computer user you are. It covers 46 pages. After that are two chapters of how to build two of the computers. In following the directions for "The Gamer" I found three contradictions from the description of the system to what the instructions told you to do. (And burying the instructions for the floppy drive installation in the Optical Drives section was really exasperating.)

Misleading: These guys sell computer building kits. They want to whet your appetite and sell you one of their kits. So rather than discuss general buying decisions for all computer buyers, they offer up five computers to build with parts lists (which as mentioned are out of date). That's it.

All of that said, this book gave me the kick in the pants to actually do it, but I could have gotten that from their web site for free. The motherboard manual (XFX) and the case manual (Antec) were way more instructional than this book.

content.......2007-02-13

This book is better than the title implies. It covers a spread of computer models for an individual to select from and build and gives recommendations for components that are needed to complete the build. More sources of supply for components would have been helpful.

Dude you really can do it! It works!!!!.......2006-11-01

My husband and I were new to the building your own pc thing. So going through tons of useless books we finally found one that appealed to us both. A sense of humor. We got in contact with Darrel and started the uncharted process. He was great. Even when we called about not knowing how to plug up the power cord. We are proud to say that our baby project is still going strong and improving with every stroke of the mouse. I think Darrel has created two computer building monsters. Thanks Darrel for showing that we really can do it!!!!! Sincerely Marvin & Crystal (IL)

Good book, dudes not home.......2006-08-23

This is a good book, the descriptions and illustrations are first rate, it gave me enough information to build my own pc. On the downside, I emailed the dudes with a few questions and got no response whatsoever.

It's good, but leaves a little to the imagination.......2006-05-03

Photographs and instructions are very clear. The authors use a very logical, step-by-step process to build a computer the way they want. If you want to try some things that will customize the machine this may not be the book you want.

For example, the authors prefer to buy a case with fans and power supply installed. If you want to buy the items separately, they don't discuss the installation of these items.

They allow you to build a very stable and quality machine, which is what all user's want. This is a very good resource for the first timer if you follow their recommedations and don't venture out on your own too much.
