Totally Wired is the definitive story of the music press on both sides of the Atlantic, tracing the rise and fall of the creatively fertile media sector which grew from humble beginnings nearly 100 years ago to become a multi billion business which tested the limits of journalistic endeavour.

A raucous yet reflective look back at the evolution of the music press and the passionate rock and pop journalists who defined the music of the 20th century. Totally Wired is the definitive story of the music press on both sides of the Atlantic, tracing the rise and fall of the creatively fertile media sector which grew from humble beginnings nearly 100 years ago to become a multi-billion business which tested the limits of journalistic endeavour. Covering the music press�_Ts evolution from the 1950s to the 2000s, through rock & roll, Mod, the Summer of Love, Glam, Punk, Pop, Reggae, R&B and Hip Hop, Paul Gorman chronicles the development of individual magazines from Tin Pan Alley beginnings and the countercultural foundation of Rolling Stone, the underground press and the 70s heyday of NME, Melody Maker and Sounds. Illuminated by the author�_Ts first hand interviews, Gorman paints a complete picture of the scene exploring the role played by such writers as Lester Bangs, Charles Shaar Murray and Nick Kent in the development of the careers of the likes of David Bowie, The Clash and Led Zeppelin, and tackling head on the entrenched sexism and racism faced by women and people from marginalized backgrounds by shining a spotlight on those publications and individuals whose contributions have often been unfairly overlooked. Evoking the music press�_Ts kaleidoscopic visual identities, Totally Wired is illustrated with rare and legendary magazine artwork throughout. What emerges is a compelling narrative containing conflicting stories of unbound talent, blind ambition and sometimes bitter rivalries which make Totally Wired a rollercoaster and riveting read.

Good for larger treats, not small ones
Pattern Name: Carrot, Pattern Name: Carrot
Our dog loves this treat toy. It has been very durable as far as the rubber part goes but the cloth carrot insert not so much, that got torn apart pretty quickly. Also this works for bigger treats, but once the cloth carrot was destroyed, there was no way to keep small treats from just falling out. Now we use it to stick larger chew sticks in the holes and it works to help her keep it in place while chewing.

Dogs love these treat toys
Pattern Name: Strawberry, Pattern Name: Strawberry
I have big dogs who live for treats and love to play puzzle games to find treats. You can stuff these toys with small treats which gives your dog a mental challenge while working to figure out how to get them out. The quality of these toys are great but durability with big dogs will be short lived. The strawberry green top immediately was de-stuffed while dog was looking for more hidden treats. The corn husk seems to be more challenging for them to get the treats out. However my smarter dog was determined and eventually reaped the rewards. I would recommend these toys for dogs who will not rip them apart.... but really is there any pup who doesn't enjoy de-stuffing a stuffie squeek toy?

Great feeder for high energy puppy!
Size: Large, Color: Blue
I have a 50lb high energy puppy. She is not a fast eater, BUT she loves this activity and it gives me about 30 minutes of uninterrupted bliss. It took about 10 minutes to demonstrate to help her get the hang of it. She will sit, spin the barrel with her paw, then sniff every divider, only open the ones with her food, and then restart the process. It is sturdy and stays on the floor as she paws and pushes. It might move a little, but not far. This is my favorite puzzle toy by far and I love that it is "hard" enough to keep her occupied but not enough that she gets frustrated and doesn't want to do it.

VERY PUZZLING
Size: Extra Large, Color: Matisse green
My dog, who is VERY intelligent, took an extremely long time to figure it out, and that was after following the video directions of how to train her. However, every other puzzle i bought her, i never had to spend a moment teaching her how to solve it, so KUDOS! AND she still loves it!!! Thank you. I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback. She is VERY strong and I think she doesn't break it because she doesn't want to, but it does not feel cheap.

Variable difficulties and relative quietness make this puzzle our households favorite!
Size: Large, Color: Blue, Size: Large, Color: Blue
Great puzzle for our dog. We started her out taking all the covers off to get her used to how the rolling feeder works. Now she’s a pro and loves it. It is difficult enough in that she has to use multiple senses, but she hasn’t shown frustration with it now that she’s learned it. It is also the QUIETEST puzzle of hers. Which is a huge plus.
