The Horrible Esthete - 06-17-2009
A relative (and fellow Hiphead) told me he heard "Love Is A First" on a central Ohio radio station last weekend.
He was shocked of course....said he flipped to a station while it was in the middle of a verse, and though he instantly recognized it, it took him a moment to place what/who it was (since hearing TTH on the radio here is almost like finding a four-leaf clover).
I know that feeling; many years ago, I was flipping channels while driving one night here in Cincy and on a very faint frequency, I heard a fuzzy "Greasy Jungle" and about wrecked the frikin car because I knew those sweet strains were a song and artist very familiar to me. Yet it took me far longer to identify it as 'Greasy' than it ever should have -- it was the radio after all, and thus "Hip" was the furthest thing from my mind.
As a matter of fact, I've only heard TTH on the radio twice - EVER (which including our recent trip to Toronto, where we listened, but did not hear even one Hip tune on the airwaves). The first was the above accounting; the second was actually when I was on my way to Columbus -- to see the Hip on the PP tour -- and rolling into town, I flipped from the CD player to the local college radio station mere seconds before the opening beat of "Poets" pulsed into my Chevrolet Cavalier.
T'was the
ultimate concert psyche-up.

after NEVER hearing the Hip on the radio I have finally found out that my work radio station plays Morning Moon at least twice a week.

I wish HAH! I work at Burger King. yeah go on and laugh..
the only reason why I do is cause my old boss from when I worked at Chuck E. Cheese's (okay laugh at that one too) works there and he gave me a job. I needed some extra cash. Gotta save up for this concert in July!!!!

I cannot remember what song.
But as I arrived at my dads for Fathers Day, I was getting one of my young punks out of the car and I heard The Hip playing. I look up and a car comes around the corner with a song from WATS blasting.
I wave at the guy and realize I actually know him.

Not a true *Hip* public hearing, but "Sleeping Sickness" with Downie and Dallas Green was playing tonight at a suburban Kansas City grocery store. (Hen House for all those KC fans here.) Great to hear Gordie's voice over the speakers. Someone picking the tunes has great taste. Or maybe not: It was followed by Fine Young Cannibals "She Drives Me Crazy."

Shari's Resturant in Puyallup,Washington @ 1:50 am - Morning Moon. Puyallup is a little farm town in the shadow of Mt. Rainier. I just about choked on my "toasted west" when it came on.

I've been hearing coffee girl on the spectrum quite a bit lately. Makes me smile when I hear them on a station like that outside of the typical cancon stations.
