I think that they should be releasing a couple more songs off Now For Plan A as singles, the radio station here in Cambridge only plays At Transformation, I asked them to play Now For Plan A or Done and Done, but they did not. People who used to love the Hip but have not bothered with them since the last few albums will see this as just another album with not much to offer because the radio stations are not showcasing the album. The damn station here will play any old Hip song off anything from the the 1980s, 1990s and a couple early 2000 songs but wont play anything off of World Container, We Are The Same . They just keep playing the old radio hits, so how is the band supposed to get a new audience or win back some fans with just one song, with all of the fanatics saying the albums great. As for the big cities not selling a lot, well, Toronto is surrounded by Oshawa to the east, Guelph to the North West and Kitchener to the west, so no need for out of towners to go to Toronto, this just shows that their fan base is spread wide and not just the big cities.
On a better note, For the Oshawa show my wife and I are taking 2 friends who have never seen the Hip live but love the radio songs. They are so excited, I am too, just thinking of seeing them be amazed at what they have been missing.
I cant stand going to Toronto and dealing with that traffic, then paying $20 to $30 to park and paying way to much for a drink or some other thing. We are skipping the Toronto show and going to Oshawa instead. The ACC is such a cold inhospitable place all geared to screwing people for as much money as they can for the MLSE.
