  1. No mention of her TV interview when she stated divorce is always the woman's fault. When the interviewer said 'but aren't you divorced?' she bristled and said 'that is different'.
    Or more important, that every one of her romance novels has the heroine being forced (usually into a possessive kiss), resisting briefly, then being overcome by his love.
    She persuaded young people that no means yes.

  6. Had a song fragment stuck in my head for three days and I just now figured out that it's "Dark Ages" by NoMeansNo. I mean, there's worse bands to have stuck in your head - most, really - but that particular fragment, the finale chant "Go to sleep", was frustratingly incomplete on its own.

  18. Feedback for CatchEm

    Review Rating:

    5 Stars – Congratulations on your 5-star review!

    Reviewed by Robert Collier III for Readers’ Favorite

    CatchEM by Julie Hodgson jumps straight into the lonely aftermath of an assault that the police simply shrug off. Grace Thorne is left trying to piece her life back together with large gaps in her memory after a university night out. But the authorities merely brush the whole thing off as a social misunderstanding. Her twin sister, Shelby, is absolutely furious and channels all her energy into building a secure website called CatchEm to track anonymous reports of sexual assault all over the country. What starts as a private tech-driven crusade quickly pulls back the curtain on a huge system of official neglect as thousands of women log identical stories. This rogue data project instantly triggers an aggressive retaliation from a faceless enemy who starts hammering their servers with cyberattacks and trying to ruin their reputation with fake charges. Can the sisters keep their platform alive long enough to look after the vulnerable people trusting them with their truths?

    CatchEM by Julie Hodgson is a deeply moving psychological thriller that does a fantastic job of showing the monumental effort required to stand up to a hidden power structure. It is remarkable how Grace regains her footing. Seeing her overcome her initial emotional numbness to find a fierce new drive right alongside Shelby during a chaotic two-week window really brings the emotional reality of their fight into sharp focus, making their efforts feel like the true heart of the entire story. The pacing is good, making you feel the rising panic as the database hacks and threatening letters from lawyers close in from both sides. It was also fascinating to see characters like Priya and Detective Hall join the fray, because they make the resistance seem like a real grassroots effort run by people forced to choose between safety and doing what is right. The main theme about the strength of shared stories gives the book a deep emotional foundation. It is a gripping look at how ordinary people find their voices when the institutions meant to protect them fail. You finish the final pages with a real sense of admiration for the characters and a reminder of what collective courage can actually accomplish. Very highly recommended.

  25. DEAD BOB (CAN, JOHN WRIGHT // NO MEANS NO) + SUPPORT TBA

    OCCII, Sunday, September 27 at 08:00 PM GMT+2

    “NothinG Chances Everything Tour ’26”! – DEAD BOB (CA, JOHN WRIGHT // NO MEANS NO) + SUPPORT TBA

    Dead Bob is the solo incarnation of John Wright, drummer of long time and apparently legendary, but now retired, Canadian punk band No Means No (NMN). Wright has spent 50 years drumming, 45 years songwriting, 30 years touring, three years helping robots play punk rock, 30 years brewing, and a lifetime playing music – in more bands than you can count on one hand.

    Currently practising drums, working on the next two albums and having a beer, Wright is not planning on slowing down any time soon. The material on “Life Like” spans decades and there’s lots more in the vault. The album was recorded and produced by Wright in the wilds of British Columbia and while he primarily wrote and performed it himself, he can’t take all of the credit, having engaged the help of several friends inclding Byron Slack (Invasives), Kristy Lee Audette (Rong), Ford Pier (Ford Pier and the Vengeance Trio, DOA, Roots Round up, Junior Gone Wild, Rheostatics), Selina Martin, his son Aidan Wright, as well as two old collaborations with his brother Rob in the writer’s chair.

    As might be expected, the songs roll out cohesively but defy the cookie cutter pigeon holes, hence “Genre” is a tough one to convey but one thing that is not unclear is it is not to be listened to quietly! We aim to make sure you hear it all good and loud!

    Presale/door prices adjusted: our events are set up by volunteers in favour of supporting DIY touring acts, but it is getting ever more risky to plan and book events – please support the community and buy your tickets early! Presale closes 18.00 on day of the show.

  30. @icastico Fantastic band! I saw them with three different line ups over the years--though the Andy Kerr period was easily my favourite. Jon Wright's current band Dead Bob are really worth checking out live. This video from a hometown show is a couple of years old and--dare I say--doesn't quite do them justice as a live force these days.

  39. CW: #MusicAppreciation (long post)

    brewing in my head for a while:

    it's happened a few times in my life that i've heard an album and been like,

    `well that changes something and i like it'

    here's a personal and incomplete overview:

    (0) look here come the wormies (nomeansno, 1980)
    extremely limited edition and how the HELL did it get to prince george. proof that DIY works.

    (1) soul mining (the the, 1986)
    woke up in the middle of a winter night and had to walk about. the sky was intense, glowy. ran into an acquaintance walking home from the bar, who was like "YOU HAVE TO COME WITH ME AND LISTEN TO THIS THING I GOT" and damn wasn't he right. the beat will get to you and you are worthy. i got to see them live, they was some stunning.

    (2) sacred city (shriekback, 1992)
    absolutely a concept album, from the band that brought you singalongs rhyming with `parthenogenesis'. humans decided to make cities, and also decided they would not be of fixed form. the consequences are all around you still. made by producers who *finally* understood both that on a CD there is no practical limit to the low frequencies but home amplifier design, and also that that aspect should not be tested continuously.

    (3) throwing copper (live, 1994)
    it's a bold move for a rock band to open an album with a funeral...dirge is the wrong word. banshee audition? but as muhammad ali said, it ain't bragging if you can do it. at least one song made top 10, and is still heard occasionally on the radio. still, you'll want to strap in for this rollercoaster of love, loss, faith, poverty, and one too many wrong books. but don't worry, it's not quite like the hip where you need english degree to understand everything that's happening.

    (4) good news for people who love bad news (modest mouse, 2004)
    the introductory transition from world at large to float on is the slickest thing since david bowie. seamless. everything is exactly the same, but it's different. i'm still not sure how it works. aside from that, the music is top-notch, the writing is mostly inspired, and `bury me with it' outlines exactly why the kids are justifed in stabbing every billionaire they meet.

    (5) loveless (my bloody valentine, 1991)
    i first heard this at the insistence of jeff, who i'm still trying to convince to join us, in 2007. what can i say, i was busy in the 90s. it sounds exactly like the inside of your head /after/ a nomeansno concert.

    (6) shapeshifting (young galaxy, 2011)
    saying they're from montreal can't hide the lyrics describing living in vancouver's west end perfectly. oh, it turns out they *are* from vancouver originally, and i'd bet on something like robson/denman four blocks from stanley park. i'm not sure i'd describe them as new age, wiccan, or thelemite, but they seem intent on asking 'who am i really' in a beautiful way. warning: you may end up asking yourself the same question just before the black swan event.

  43. DEAD BOB (CAN, JOHN WRIGHT // NO MEANS NO) + SUPPORT TBA

    OCCII, Sunday, September 27 at 08:00 PM GMT+2

    “NothinG Chances Everything Tour ’26”! – DEAD BOB (CA, JOHN WRIGHT // NO MEANS NO) + SUPPORT TBA

    Dead Bob is the solo incarnation of John Wright, drummer of long time and apparently legendary, but now retired, Canadian punk band No Means No (NMN). Wright has spent 50 years drumming, 45 years songwriting, 30 years touring, three years helping robots play punk rock, 30 years brewing, and a lifetime playing music – in more bands than you can count on one hand.

    Currently practising drums, working on the next two albums and having a beer, Wright is not planning on slowing down any time soon. The material on “Life Like” spans decades and there’s lots more in the vault. The album was recorded and produced by Wright in the wilds of British Columbia and while he primarily wrote and performed it himself, he can’t take all of the credit, having engaged the help of several friends inclding Byron Slack (Invasives), Kristy Lee Audette (Rong), Ford Pier (Ford Pier and the Vengeance Trio, DOA, Roots Round up, Junior Gone Wild, Rheostatics), Selina Martin, his son Aidan Wright, as well as two old collaborations with his brother Rob in the writer’s chair.

    As might be expected, the songs roll out cohesively but defy the cookie cutter pigeon holes, hence “Genre” is a tough one to convey but one thing that is not unclear is it is not to be listened to quietly! We aim to make sure you hear it all good and loud!
