"It's a collection where the authors 'cover' one of their favorite songs by turning it into a short story. The concept is taken from Lester Bangs' 'Maggie May,' which is included and still stands out as one of the best pieces in the book. The contemporary authors take a variety of approaches to interpreting the song of their choice, from taking their inspiration directly from the lyrics to attempting to re-create the feel of the song. While the book has a terrible name, the concept is interesting and the majority of the results are quite good with stories inspired by artists ranging from The Beatles and Miles Davis to AC/DC and Duran Duran."

A&E Snippet Artistic oasis Every artist dreams of having a place for their art to exist untouched. Alina Preston has created just such a place for amateur photographers. Preston has started a Web site that which different photo contests/amateur photographers can enter. The contest winners receive cash prizes and gallery space on Preston's Web site. Portions of the net proceeds from each contest are donated to a number of different charities. "It's a way for me to have fun with a hobby, and make a real difference in this world," said Preston. The Ontario na­ tive stresses the fact that there is no corporate sponsorship or funding involved in any of her photo contests. The Web site is also entirely created by Preston. In a world where it's becoming increasing difficult to find creativity and art tuntouched by merchandising and product placement, Preston's Web site serves as an artistic oasis of sorts. The site is extremely easy to navigate, and it features vari­ ous galleries with beautiful photos that capture the imagina­ tion. Not only is this Web site a great resource for amateur photographers, it's also a wonderful destination for anyone who enjoys the awe of pure photography as art form. Preston is yet to have any photographers from Wisconsin on her site. Changing that is only a click away. Check out http://home.cogeco.ca/~alinal/.
