Hey, just found The Hipbase for the first time yet I've been a fan of the Hip since '96.
I'm from over in the UK (Peterborough to be exact) and I work for a TV channel producing/directing promos, which is mostly good fun.
I first found out about The Hip from the soundtrack to Kids In The Hall: Brain Candy, with the inclusion of Butts Wigglin. I then went out and bought Trouble at the Hen House and Fully Completely the next day, and haven't looked back.
I have all the albums (all are first releases and so miss the CD rom content) as well as a few vinyl records and CD singles, plus Heksenketel VHS and the Hipeponymous box set (gosh don't I sound a show off... I'm not, honest)
I've only seen them twice so far - both times in London, and I'm about to purchase tickets for the next London date in July.
But they're still my favourite band, nothing has detracted me from that point of view since I first started buying thier CDs and I doubt it ever will.
See you all in July - London 2006
