From the guitarist of the pioneering band Sleater-Kinney, the book Kim Gordon says "everyone has been waiting for" and a New York Times Notable Book of 2015-- a candid, funny, and deeply personal look at making a life--and finding yourself--in music.

Before Carrie Brownstein became a music icon, she was a young girl growing up in the Pacific Northwest just as it was becoming the setting for one the most important movements in rock history. Seeking a sense of home and identity, she would discover both while moving from spectator to creator in experiencing the power and mystery of a live performance. With Sleater-Kinney, Brownstein and her bandmates rose to prominence in the burgeoning underground feminist punk-rock movement that would define music and pop culture in the 1990s. They would be cited as "America's best rock band" by legendary music critic Greil Marcus for their defiant, exuberant brand of punk that resisted labels and limitations, and redefined notions of gender in rock.

HUNGER MAKES ME A MODERN GIRL is an intimate and revealing narrative of her escape from a turbulent family life into a world where music was the means toward self-invention, community, and rescue. Along the way, Brownstein chronicles the excitement and contradictions within the era's flourishing and fiercely independent music subculture, including experiences that sowed the seeds for the observational satire of the popular television series Portlandia years later.

With deft, lucid prose Brownstein proves herself as formidable on the page as on the stage. Accessibly raw, honest and heartfelt, this book captures the experience of being a young woman, a born performer and an outsider, and ultimately finding one's true calling through hard work, courage and the intoxicating power of rock and roll.

A bit wider than I expected
Style: Coyote
I thought this was going to be a "flat" toy but was a bit surprised to see that it was more of a 3D shape than flat. It's unfortunately a bit too wide for my small/medium sized terrier so he really only grabs and chews on the tail and ears. It is pretty durable though and has held up well.

Toughest dog toy we've ever owned! Jasper approved!
Style: Elk, Style: Elk
If you are the owner of a "power chewer" who usually turns standard plushies into a snowstorm of stuffing in under five minutes, the HOUND2O Elk Stuffed Animal is the heavy-duty solution you’ve been looking for. This isn't just a toy; it’s a rugged piece of outdoor-grade gear that manages to stay "plush" while being nearly indestructible. Here is why this elk is the gold standard for aggressive chewers. The "Ballistic" Build The secret to its toughness lies in the materials. Unlike cheap fleece or thin polyester, the HOUND2O Elk is engineered for extreme durability. Ballistic Nylon Shell: The body is wrapped in high-denier ballistic nylon—the same type of material used in tactical gear. It’s incredibly resistant to punctures and tears from sharp canine teeth. Reinforced TPR Accents: The "antlers" and specific high-wear points are reinforced with Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR). This gives your dog a satisfying, grippy texture to gnaw on without compromising the toy’s structural integrity. Extreme Stitching: The seams are double-stitched and recessed, making it nearly impossible for a dog to find a "weak spot" to start a rip. Built for Adventure: This toy is marketed for "outdoor adventures," and it truly lives up to that branding: Water-Resistant & Buoyant: Unlike most stuffed animals that become soggy, heavy sponges, this elk is water-resistant and it floats. It’s the perfect companion for a trip to the lake or a game of fetch in the pool. Easy to Clean: Because the material is so dense, mud and slobber don't soak in deeply. A quick rinse with a hose or a wipe-down with soap and water makes it look brand new after a day in the dirt. High Visibility: The vibrant colors and distinct shape make it easy to spot in tall grass or murky water, so you won't lose it during a long-range game of fetch. Engaging (But Tough) Squeaker For many aggressive chewers, the goal is to "silence" the squeaker as fast as possible. Protected Internal Squeaker: The squeaker is buried deep within the ballistic layers, making it much harder for a dog to pinpoint and puncture. It provides that high-value auditory feedback that keeps dogs engaged without being an easy "kill point" for the toy. Performance at a Glance Durability - Ballistic nylon and TPR are a "power chewer" dream. Versatility - Floats, easy to clean, and works indoors/outdoors. Engagement - Mixed textures (nylon + rubber) keep dogs interested. Value - Outlasts 10 standard plush toys combined. The HOUND2O Elk is a 10/10 for any pet parent tired of throwing away shredded toys. It is incredibly tough, intelligently designed, and built to withstand the "ruffest" play. While no toy is truly 100% indestructible for every single dog, this is as close as a plush-style toy can possibly get. If your dog loves the "thrill of the hunt," try hiding this elk in some tall grass or bushes outside. Its tough shell can handle the brush, and it’s a great way to provide mental stimulation alongside a heavy chewing session!
