Joe Keithley, aka Joey Shithead, founded legendary punk pioneers D.O.A. in 1978. Punk kings who spread counterculture around the world, they've been cited as influences by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Rancid, and The Offspring, and have toured with The Clash, The Ramones, The Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Nirvana, PiL, Minor Threat, and others, and are the subject of two tribute albums. But punk is more than a style of music: it's a political act, and D.O.A. have always had a social conscience, having performed in support of Greenpeace, women's rape/crisis centres, prisoner rights, and anti-nuke and anti-globalization organizations. Twenty-five years later D.O.A. can claim sales of more than 500,000 copies of their eleven albums and tours in thirty different countries, and they are still going strong. I, Shithead is Joe's recollections of a life in punk, starting with a bunch of kids in Burnaby transfixed with the burgeoning punk movement, and traversing a generation disillusioned with the status quo: stories of riots, drinking, travelling, playing, and conquering all manner of obstacles through sheer determination. And through it all, Joe reveals that the famous D.O.A. slogan, talk - action -0 is, for him, more than a soundbyte. With an introduction by music producer Jack Rabid, publisher of seminal New York music magazine Big Takeover.

Hello. I am Homeless. Soon your head will be my home. No... Your head is already my home. My thoughts are inside of you as you read this. Therefore, I am inside of you now. Living inside you. Walking around in my boxer briefs. Scratching my balls. Rearranging the mental furniture inside your head. Opening the space up in case I feel like entertaining. I plan on entertaining. Thank you for letting me live inside your head. Thank you for giving me a warm place to stay. At least for now. I am Homeless. Hello. Hello...

From the Author of "Middle Finger Happiness! (work hard. live well. don't f*ck with me}"! Sharon Lee Zapata brings you It's A New Day, Don't Be A Shit Head Sharon whips out her intellectual smartass kung fu as a hard-working business owner, podcaster, artist, and mom who juggles laundry, house-cleaning, and cheerfully picks up dog sh*t when taking her rescue dogs for a walk... With her hamster-wheel energy, she's been known to create a business on a cocktail napkin after drinking 3 margaritas, write 3 new books to inspire others with her positive, disruptive, slightly irregular strategies on how to stop procrastinating and smack down the bull-shit in your life. "It's a New Day, Don't Be a ShitHead is sprinkled with Sharon's moxie-thoughts and her smarty-pants intellectual sarcasm. She's been known to charm the pants off people... actually, she doesn't want your pants; she wants you to open this book up! Read. Laugh. Learn. Take Action. #RinseAndRepeat It's A New Day, Don't Be A Shit Head, was also influenced by the request of her readers and social media following. So she gathered her collection of home-spun quotes and memes, real talk no bullshit experiences and put them into this little beasty book. It's A New Day, Don't Be A Shit Head, is like using map-quest to guide you through your thick-head of being overwhelmed and #getshitdone. This book can also be used when faced with angry moms in the car-pool lane, f*ck nugget family members, people you meet who are idiots, and other trouble maker shituations [no typo]. Yeah, it's all in here...

WHAT IS THE STORY GRID? The Story Grid is a tool developed by editor Shawn Coyne to analyze stories and provide helpful editorial comments. It's like a CT Scan that takes a photo of the global story and tells the editor or writer what is working, what is not, and what must be done to make what works better and fix what's not. The Story Grid breaks down the component parts of stories to identify the problems. And finding the problems in a story is almost as difficult as the writing of the story itself (maybe even more difficult). The Story Grid is a tool with many applications: 1. It will tell a writer if a Story ?works? or ?doesn't work. 2. It pinpoints story problems but does not emotionally abuse the writer, revealing exactly where a Story (not the person creating the Story'the Story) has failed. 3. It will tell the writer the specific work necessary to fix that Story's problems. 4. It is a tool to re-envision and resuscitate a seemingly irredeemable pile of paper stuck in an attic drawer. 5. It is a tool that can inspire an original creation.

There's a Jamaican phrase, ''Out of many, one people,'' that is reflected in the style of cooking from the Caribbean: distinct, bold flavours coming together to create an electric experience.
