[random-bookquotes]

Am I being selfish? Is that all love is? The selfish desire for a companion? There’s so much left unsaid between us. It’s not the loss of all we could have done together that aches, it’s what we could have been together. All our tomorrows are gone. Decades have been cruelly snatched away from us in an instant. With each breath, his memory slips further into the past, and I hate that.

The Saint: To Kill a Saint (5.19, ITC, 1967)

"You're trembling, Le Duc."

"Never!"

"You're as upset as a mother kangaroo who's just had her pouch raided."

"I am not even mildly surprised. There must be over a hundred people in Paris who would like to kill the famous Simon Templar."

10: Godspeed You! Black Emperor // 'Allelujah! Don't Bend Ascend

'Allelujah! Don't Bend Ascend Godspeed You! Black Emperor 2012, Constellation Records Godspeed You! Black Emperor are famous for their elaborately packaged vinyl releases, and 2012’s excellent comeback record ‘Allelujah! Don’t Bend Ascend’ is no different, including a 12” x 48” poster and a 7” single. But what many fans may’ve missed is the YouTube URL etched into the wax runoff. As we celebrate 11 years since the record’s release, I thought it would be fun to rank all of the musicians who’ve ever played in Godspeed, including frames from their appearances in this cool secret video. (Apologies for the quality, the video was uploaded in 240p!)

Members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Ranked

16. Tim Herzog (drums)

Of all the drummers GY!BE have ever had, Tim Herzog is the only one who hasn’t been trusted with percussion. I think that says it all right there.

15. Bruce Cawdron (drums, percussion) I once saw Cawdron’s main band Esmerine do a great set at the Ottawa Jazz Festival, and that’s enough for me to rank him pretty highly, relative to the hapless Tim Herzog anyway.

14. Aidan Girt (drums, percussion) I don’t really remember why I ranked Aidan Girt the highest among Godspeed’s drummers, but he’s been there the longest and you'd think he'd have learned by now.

13. David Bryant (guitar) Quick, name your favourite David Bryant guitar solo in Godspeed! Can’t think of one either eh? That’s why he’s only #13.

12. Grayson Walker (accordion) One of those instruments you'd maybe make a joke about Godspeed having had. But they did have it, for a few weeks in 1997.

11. Peter Harry Hill (bagpipes) One of those instruments you'd maybe make a joke about Godspeed having had. But they did have it, for a few weeks in 1997, on the CD version of F♯ A♯ ∞.

10. Mauro Pezzente (bass) Some might quibble about my rating Mauro Pezzente so low, given that he is one of GY!BE’s three founding members. But I ask you this: if he were that good on bass, do you think they’d have had to get a second one?

9. Thea Pratt (French horn) GY!BE’s home of Montréal is, famously, a Francophone-majority city, and Thea Pratt’s work on French horn between 1995 and 1997 was important for ensuring locals would accept the band long enough for them to complete their stated goal of transforming the Mile End into a hip Anglophone enclave.

8. Roger Tellier-Craig (guitar) Tellier-Craig only lasted six years in GY!BE, by far the least of the band’s elite division of guitar players. But he gets extra in memorium points for giving his life in Godspeed’s tragic knife fight with Sigur Rós in downtown Hafnarfjörður.

7. Thierry Amar (bass) GY!BE’s second bass player, who slotted himself into the lineup next to the unreliable Mauro Pezzente in 1995. Amar gets extra points for stabilizing Godspeed’s notoriously turbulent bass situation, as the band has not seen a need to add a third bassist during Amar’s 28-year administration. Not yet anyway.

6. Norsola Johnson (cello) In addition to having the best name of any Godspeed member (Norsola the Hidden One), Norsola also plays the cello, an instrument that seems essential to their sound but that they have apparently done without since 2003. This doesn’t sound right, and I should do more research.

5. The Mononymous Christophe (violin) Arguably the rarest Emperor, and therefore the most collectible.

4. Mike Moya (guitar) Sometimes you need to leave band the band you founded just before its period of greatest success, so they learn where they’d be without you. That’s exactly what Mike Moya did when he exited Godspeed two years before Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! and Yanqui U.X.O. He then kinda sidled back into the back row when they took the publicity photos for this 2012 reunion. I’ve always respected that.

3. Sophie Trudeau (violin) Violin has long been known as ‘the thinking person’s guitar,’ and Sophie seems very thoughtful indeed.

2. Karl Lemieux & Philippe Léonard (projections) I call them GY!BE’s Lumiére Brothers because they are also conjoined twins who make films.

1. Efrim Manuel Menuck (guitar) Who else could it be but the Big Cheese, Mr. You! Black Emperor himself. Thanks for everything, man.

You can take a trip into the wayback machine and watch the secret video yourself here. Enjoy!

10/365

Jury Duty by Peter Cawdron is an excellent novel about first contact, how the intentions of an alien intelligence could be be misinterpreted, and how humans might act in such a situation. I enjoyed the MC's character arc. Given his intro, I didn't expect to like him by the end!

Peter Cawdron's First Contact series is reminiscent of The Outer Limits or Black Mirror with each book falling into an overall theme but not related to each other, and I'm looking forward to reading more.

The story of Dracula isn’t simply the classic fight between good and evil. Bram Stoker draws the battle lines between ordinary, everyday people who are naive about the challenge they face, and an ancient, inhuman, calculating evil. The imagery is vivid, commoners challenging a powerful aristocracy. The stakes are the opportunity to live a normal life without succumbing to evil and preying on loved ones. And it is this grounding in the daily routines of life in the 19th century that makes Dracula resonate even today. Rather than flights of fantasy, Dracula seems to exist as a shadow in our own world. ― Peter Cawdron, We Are Legion

The Saint: Jeannine (3.3, ITC, 1964)

"Templar, I know perfectly well why you're here. The fact that you have checked into the same hotel as Madam Chen, and the fact that the lady owns a pearl necklace worth three hundred thousand American dollars, can hardly be called a coincidence."

"What a nasty, suspicious mind you have. But, if you're worried, why don't you pop me into one of the deepest dungeons in the Bastille?"

Retrograde by Peter Cawdron [The Best Sci-fi book I’ve read this year]

Retrograde’s blurb caught my attention quicker than cake and that’s saying something. It’s about a colony of humans from all walks of Earth settling on Mars for research. But how will things turn out when nuclear war devastates everyone back home?

This book revolved around such an interesting concept. A far as I know, The Martian by Andy Weir deals with a short-term journey to Mars gone wrong but this book deals with the long-term situation with not one but a whole group of 120 scientists, astronauts, medical staff, and engineers.

The story is told from the POV of Liz, a US colonist. The book doesn’t shift POV’s and despite that, we were able to get a perfect idea of the situation in all the 4 modules on Mars, which included the US, the Russians, the Eurasians and the Chinese. I was amazed at how well this was done. To be writing from one character’s perspective but to be able to accurately gauge the other characters around them in such a way that I was able to connect with them all.

As mentioned before, the characters were on point. Usually, sci-fi book characters aren’t easy to connect with because the characters seem very detached and machine-like but Peter Cawdron has written great characters, all of whom I fell in love with.

The writing is so simple, which is odd when it comes to science fiction because people lose themselves among all the big and mighty science words. However, I never once felt confused.

The plot in itself is so unique. The concept not only blew my mind but also filled me with dread. I couldn’t NOT think about being in a nuclear explosion. Even though I know that there is no way I would feel anything because I would be dead within seconds, it’s still a jarring thought. And the thought of being on Mars amidst all that? Unimaginable.

This book is so detailed about how one would go about surviving on Mars. And as someone who loves science and sciency books, I knew just how much research the author must have done to get the sciency bits so accurate and realistic. It added a perfect touch to this fabulous book.

I also love how this book, while being categorised as science-fiction deals a LOT with the psychology of the human mind too. Which was very interesting because I think that had a huge role to play for the reason why I got so attached to the characters.

The research on the cultures was also done perfectly. Being an Indian myself, I have always loved the Asian culture and to see the various cultures of our continent being positively represented in such a good book filled me with pride.

Last but not the least, I loved that plot twist. I didn’t see it coming and once I read it I had to re-read it because I couldn’t believe my eyes. And just like that, I felt like I was reading a whole different novel, which was not a bad thing at all!

There is hardly anything I didn’t like in this book. But on scrutinising it for a while I think I’d have to say the change of pace from the beginning to the end could be one. The start was action-packed and intense all the way to the end, where the conclusion was a bit of a loose-strings style. Something that didn’t really put me off, but did leave me wanting to know more.

So I guess it isn’t really a con since I really wanted more of this book. And I’ve heard that Peter Cawdron is working on a sequel so *squeal* I can’t wait to get my hands on that one. In fact, I loved this book so much that I personalized it a bit by painting a clip-art version of Mars on the cover.

Thank you so much to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books for sending a copy of Retrograde my way!

And that was my review! Let me know if you’ve read this book. If you haven’t, what are you waiting for? It’s an absolute delight. The best sci-fi book I’ve read this year without a doubt.

Lots of love and Mars dust,

Raven
