Have you got your signed copy of Dream-Punk: A Nightscape yet? C'mon down to Groove Cat Books and Records and John will be happy to sign a copy for you! :)

Dream-Punk: A Nightscape maps dream politics while tracking the author’s five-year photo-log of night visions as a garage-punk, do-it-yourself means of taking our dreams back from establishment parasites who aim at siphoning their power. Punk rock in theory, method and content, Dream-Punk is a stunning conceptual and visual document, unlike any other.

Copies can be purchased in store or online at Groove Cat Books and Records

Calling all Canadian writers opposed to Canada becoming the 51st state!

Cosmic Cranium Press is curating a book of essays that demonstrate Canada is its own unique nation, and that it will absolutely NOT become the 51st state - not now, not ever.
We are looking for a diverse set of voices: Seniors, Indigenous writers, people who have come to Canada as refugees, LGBTQIA+ authors, general labourers, tradespeople, professionals - plus all the Canadian voices we've unintentionally left out.

Good Friday afternoon & top o' the Season y'all! Just in time for Christmas our new publishing company, Cosmic Cranium Press , is pleased to present its first book - Dream-Punk: A Nightscape - written by yours truly, John Hughes (owner of Groove Cat Books & Records).

Welcome to Cosmic Cranium Press

Cosmic Cranium Press delivers electrifying literature to audiences craving razor-sharp books. Cultural distortion is the thing—the Press honors a tradition that traces its roots from the Dadaists, the Surrealists, Situationists, Beatniks, Hippies & Punk Rockers. Specifically, we are looking for garage-punk solutions to problems most don’t know exist, smart ideas that linger on the societal brink, dazzle weirdly, or do all three. With these concepts in mind, Cosmic Cranium Press aims to reinvigorate reading, one book at a time.
