I'm so over talking about me but.... have three Junos (Canadian Grammys) 4 gold, 1 platinum and 1 double platinum Album. I've contributed music to The L Word , General Idea Art AIDs and the fin de siecle, The Trailer Park Boys Movie, Queer As Folk, This Revolution, Miami Vice, countless MTV and VH1 shows and the (love it or hate it) cult classic Cruising which was just released on DVD. I wrote an auto biography entitled Anti Diva published by Random House. The film rights where optioned last year. True North Records/Linus just released Transcend in Canada with a bonus track Johnny Marr. I'm working on a new album!!
The Hit List Toronto Star CAROLE POPE, "Johnny Marr"
"Now I'm not religious, but you made me think I was." This potent
Canada-only bonus track, which caps off Pope's new solo album, evokes the hysterical worship The Smiths inspired, as well as touching on the complicated relationship between that band's two principals, Morrissey and Marr. As Pope so succinctly puts it, "Your indifference was an aphrodisiac."

Rock: Carole Pope – “Johnny Marr”
Taken from her new album Transcend, this rocker releases her best single in more than two decades. With shades of Siouxsie and the Banshees, this hypnotic story about the famous rift between The Smiths bandmates Morrissey and Johnny Marr puts Pope back on top. Why has this legend still not been named to the Order of Canada"
The Old Nick! Best veggie burger on the Danforth and the owner really supports the arts. It's great when an established act plays an intimate venue. Fans get a real treat and less known artists are inspired. You are one very cool woman. Best, Paul
Thanks for the add Carole! I just read Anti Diva ( I ripped through it in a day, I loved it so much!) and it brought back so many memories of growing up here in Canada. I promptly went to iTunes and downloaded a bunch. You still rock hardcore Sister!
Can't wait for June. You're playing Massey Hall and I'm releasing "Clear". For you it's another milestone in your amazing career, for me it's a defining moment. I still think about your lipstick every time I pick up an sm58. Y'know you've ruined me for all other mics! Best, always, Paul
