Indeed, ask Baker how the band has changed over the past three decades, and he says they’ve only gotten tighter, which enables them to take more risks.

Dear Hip:

Please take risks during this summer mini-tour (especially in Windsor!) and limit the number of 'hits' in the setlist, replacing them with the likes of:

Cordelia
We'll Go Too
Daredevil
Yawning Or Snarling
Titanic Terrarium
Vapour Trails
Sharks
And other songs (too many to list!) that are great but seem to be overlooked in the live setting.

Better yet, play what you want, not what the crowd expects.
