Doing this I started to play Fully Completely deciding if it or Up To Here is better. Then read your reply and had to listen to Queen of Furrows-like the tempo changes but I'm still stuck on Depression Suite. Anyhow to reply to your post in my post, I have to begin by saying how jealous I am that you are a newer fan and have this whole back catalouge to digest at your disposal. Similiar to myself with The Rolling Stones having an entire catalouge at my disposal after I first became a fan. I've had to wait 2 years between albums in most cases, where you can go out and buy them at will. Downfall of that is that each album for me represents a different time in my life and kind of make up the soundtrack to it, but in that I also think it sets a prejudice towards my liking certain albums based on them being what I listened to during my care free younger days. Hopefully your in those days right now, remember the "good old days" weren't better, they were just the care free days of who ever tells you that. I must admit though that these days are pretty good and I'm headed off to the river today to kayak and I'll rock out to Queen of Furrows on my way. But my biased opinion goes this way- FC,UTH,PP,DFN,M@W,RA,TAHH,WC,WATS,IVL,IBE,TTH and off course Coke Machine Glow is the best of all, had tickets to the Denver show on Gord's solo tour and it got cancelled due to low ticket sales, that still bugs me to the day.
You seem to completly undestand what Im going through haha. Ya I am really excited to dig deeper in the Hip discography but want to be able to digest each album instead of buying them all at once. I totally forgot about Coke machine glow, I was planning on buying it with WATS but instead I got a copy when I saw the bathouse in theatres.
Kayaking on May 24? I am jealous! I just hosed all the bugs and cob webs out of my canoe. Planning a trip on the mighty grand river in a few weekends.
Anyways have a good one and thanks for the advice, definitly one of the best responses yet.
