Useless Hip Knowledge - mrlayance - 02-05-2003
I have some
25% of Boston Bruins home games are DJed by Pat Downie, brother of Gord Downie.
Anyone else have some?

Gord Downie drinks blue gatorade before he goes onstage.....heard that off the radio....

Sinclair's old man is a Prof at Queen's University...

I've heard that Gord D. doesn't like air conditioning, therefore he requests it to be turned off before their shows....
Is this true??

Johnny Fay produced and played drums on The Mahones' 1999 CD "The Hellfire Club Sessions". Gord Sinclair also contributed to the sessions...on piano!

Both Gord S. and Paul are avid golfers. The two graced (no pun intended) the cover of "OG" (Ontario Golf) magazine this past summer. Gord is a 15 handicap and Paul is a 10.

A friend of a friend used to be friends with Downie when they were growing up. He said Gord always had a snotty nose... the friend of a friend's father used to always make fun of him for that.
Bacon Numbers - beanmedic - 03-15-2003
All five guys have a bacon number of 3 according to that 'six degrees of kevin bacon' idea.
Gord Downie was in Men with Brooms (2002) with Leslie Nielsen
Leslie Nielsen was in Camouflage (1999) with Gary Chalk
Gary Chalk was in Trapped (2002) with Kevin Bacon
you can have a lot of fun with this game, check it out:

The Hip had a trumpet player before their first album. The band was getting between him and his girlfriend and he spraypainted "The Hip Live Between Us" on a building. It's the image that is on the Live Between us CD. Does anyone know what his name was?

Ok Matt, I'll bite...
Davis Manning...
For all the details (I'm not sure if this is a simple trivia question or a fact-finding mission) :? , check out:

lates

During the tune Put It Off , one of the lyrics goes " I played Love Tara by Eric's Trip" Well Gords solo band Country of Miracles has Julie Doiron playing bass , she was a founding member of Eric's Trip . During " Chancellor" a lyric goes "Crazy Daisies and Wooden Stars ". Julie also recorded an album with a band called The Wooden Stars . Just a Hip-Gord-Julie connection that I noticed.
