You bastard! I was totally fooled by your thread title. What a letdown.

So, a cover of Courage on a tv show, a God awful cover of Grace Too on a new CD, my Hip finding in a Michael Moore documentary.................Hip, please announce something on a new album soon, we're scrapping the bottom of the barrel right now for ANYTHING!!!!!!

Hah, good thread title edit. And in case the answer wasn't obvious: the answer is no.
Re: Any hip news? - srb - 11-04-2011
You would think a few new Live from the Vaults would help us get through this downtime...even a few new SotD's would help brighten up spirits a bit.

Go give Wilcos new album a whirl, I am and likey. Not calling Wilco filler material though, not me.

Someone needs to wake this forum up! What is up with the HIP?? I know they're getting older and all but this is as quiet as I ever remember it. It is obvious that there is still a large audience out there who will pay top dollar to see them in a greatest hits/festival setting all summer. Are the fires of creativity still burning within the band? Mav where ya at? Any insight?
Some very random thoughts:
Didn't they record/video all of the WATS shows? What tremendous performances that tour. Great rarities and visuals all tour! Seems to me like the perfect box set of live stuff.....or at the very least, a few Live From the Vault's.
Also, what is the word with the Bob C documentary?
And finally, is there really a new album in the works?
I'm ready to buy myself a nice Christmas present (HIP related) but I might just have to settle for buying my nephew the lulliby cd...
MAV??? Buehler?? Anyone? :thumb:

Back in the summer the band confirmed that a new album is definitely in the works, and has been for some time now (they played three new songs on the summer tour). Last I heard they were heading back into the studio after the tour to do some more writing and recording. I think they're just taking their time with this one and not rushing the process, which I think will result in a great album. No more Bob Rock either. Sounds like they're producing it themselves.
I have no clue what's going on with the documentary. I wish I had more news on that one.
I agree, some Live From the Vault releases are definitely in order. It's been way too long since the last ones came out. At first they made it sound like the LFTV series was gonna be an on-going thing, a-la Pearl Jam. But something tells me that whole idea has crashed and burned along with the Hip Club from back in 2002. It's really disappointing actually. There are countless hardcore Hip fans who would gladly fork over their money and snatch up any and all vault shows if they would only make more of them available. I bought all 6 of the first batch, and I'll be first in line to buy more. C'mon Hip, what are you waiting for? Take my money!

The Hip Club in 2002, Livedownloads.com in 2005, the "Live 10" iTunes series in 2006, and 6 Live from the Vault releases in the 5 years since since....I think I stated somewhere here before that the hip come up with great ideas for releasing live shows, then dissappear leaving everyone wondering what's going for 2 years at a time.
I guess we should be coming up on a new incarnation shortly as the last 3 LFTV's were release in 2009.
It would be really cool if all the work done to digitize the recordings in "the vault" went to some steady release schedule, not just this random splattering of releases every few years.
Re: Any hip news? - spottrax - 11-05-2011
As I watched the new Pearl Jam movie, I couldn't stop thinking how cool a full legnth rock doc about the Hip would be. Next year will be the 25th aniversary of the release of the first EP, how cool would it be for the band to commemorate that with either a 25 year retrospect tour or a rock doc simular to PJ or even Rush. If I was a movie producer/director, I would love to be able to sift throught the vaults of the Hip to put together something like that.....just sayin.
Re: Any hip news? - ewallman - 11-08-2011
A Local DJ (Winnipeg), who is respected, was spouting today that he has sources in Kingston saying that the Hip are done, as in breaking up.
Don't shoot the messenger, just passing along what was said on the radio!!!!
