Kathleen Hanna has spoken to NME about her brand new memoir Rebel Girl: My Life As A Feminist Punk – tackling her life and experiences with the riot grrrl movement, Fugazi and Courtney Love.
Having risen to fame fronting the legendary punk band Bikini Kill – who pioneered the riot grrrl movement with their fiery lyrics and electrifying live performances – Hanna worked to make the punk scene a safe and inclusive space for women. Upon the band’s breakup, Hanna went on to front seminal bands Le Tigre and The Julie Ruin.Rebel Girl: My Life As A Feminist Punk – released this week – provides an in-depth look into the story of Hanna’s tumultuous childhood and the realities of being a feminist on the frontlines of the male-dominated punk scene; facing violence and antagonism that threatened at every turn.“I did an interview with Sarah Marcus, who wrote the book Girls To The Front and when I was telling her about some of the stuff, she was shocked,” Hanna told NME.
“She thought that [Bikini Kill] were so loved and everybody because all these women came to the shows and they took their shirts off and they dance and they were so happy. And I was like, ‘No there were five of those people’.
At most of the shows, it was frat guys throwing chains in our heads.”One of the first stories shared in the book is of Hanna’s roommate Allee being assaulted in their own apartment.Following the horrific event and without hesitation, Hanna began volunteering at Safespace – a rape relief and domestic violence center in Olympia, WA – as a way to be there for her roommate. This decision would go shift Hanna’s world completely.“It was very serendipitous that I knew that the Safespace office was two blocks away,” she said.

John Oates revisited Electric Lady Studios — the legendary recording mecca in Greenwich Village, Manhattan where Hall & Oates made many of their ‘80s classics — he got back in touch with one particular hit.That would be “Maneater,” the longest-running of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame duo’s six No. 1 singles.Released in October 1982 as the first single from Hall & Oates’ double-platinum “H2O” album, the song was inspired by a woman who Oates encountered back in those wild Village days — decades before his and Daryl Hall’s shocking band split last fall.“A couple streets over, there was a restaurant called Marylou’s, and it was a late-night hang,” Oates, 76, exclusively told The Post outside of Electric Lady Studios, where the twosome recorded 1981’s “Private Eyes” and 1984’s “Big Bam Boom” in addition to 1982’s “H2O.”“And I was in there one night with a group of friends sitting at a table, and this gal came in, and she was absolutely drop-dead gorgeous,” he recalled.

CGI movie technology, it is getting harder and harder to deliver that true spine-chilling internal fear that makes horror films so great.Gen Z and Gen Alpha kids may arrogantly scoff at retro scary movies, but it hasn’t always been this way.There was once a time when picture-goers were so viscerally terrified by what they were seeing on the big screen that it would trigger powerful physical reactions right there in the theater.During Jaws (1975) people fainted and vomited in the cinema during some of the gruesome scenes, while others stopped going swimming in the ocean altogether out of pure fear.Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film Psycho (1960) sparked mania during the infamous shower stabbing scene, with reports of people hyperventilating and passing out in their cinema chairs.However, one of the most horrifying movies to ever hit the big screen, causing widespread panic, fear and repulsion, is William Friedkin’s The Exorcist (1973).Based on William Peter Blatty’s 1971 novel, the film follows the demonic possession of a young girl and her mother’s attempt to rescue her through an exorcism by two Catholic priests.With some wildly disturbing scenes, including some bizarre 360 degree head spinning, eerie spider-walking on the stairs and some disgusting projective lime-green vomit, it shocked those 1970s audiences to their core.One particular vulgar scene involving a crucifix — that is too crude to describe here — shocked and upset many, especially considering the percentage of people who were religious back then.The flick was so scary that even renowned Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert was at a loss for words about how it made him feel.“I am not sure exactly what reasons people will have for seeing this movie; surely
