Howdy. Bored again, so here's a few Hip questions to test your knowledge. Maybe if you seem to be enjoying it, I'll whip up 10 questions every week or something. Or if not, I'll just crawl back into my hole in the ground. Whichever. Have fun!

1) In 2000, Gord Downie said, "it's the most audacious thing we've ever done." What was he talking about?

2) The Tragically Hip have won one Juno for best single. For which song?

3) During the Live Downloads concert from London, Gord starts singing a little snippet of a Kinks song during Little Bones. Which song?

4) When Trouble at the Henhouse was released, some fans complained that there wasn't enough of something, prompting Downie to grumble that he didn't know there was a quota. What did the fans want more of?

5) A Rolling Stones headline infamously said you might like the Tragically Hip if you like which other band? Edit: Sorry, that should have said MTV.com headline.

6) During the Phantom Power tour, a Canadian city, led by a local DJ, enticed The Hip to play in their town, though it had originally not been part of the tour. Which city?

7) According to GD, Coconut Cream grew out of a riff by which band member?

8) The Hip once played a U.S. concert with a crowd roughly as big as the band. In which state?

9) Which two band members once appeared on the front of a golf magazine?

10) What is Wayne Gretzky's favourite Hip song?

Cheers,
John

Alright, watch me tank this:

1. ARA?
2. New O?
3. The "Tired of Waiting" thing? Aw, I was kinda hoping he was paying homage to Hip worshipers: The Trews. What's the Kinks song called?
4. Hard rocking tunes? That's what my cronies were saying anyway. That album takes time. I was 16 and not crazy about it. But by the time I was 18, it was my favourite record ever.
5. R.E.M?
6. Somewhere out East, no?
7. Sting.
8. Texas?
9. Paul and Sinclair. FORE!
10. Fifty Mission Cap.

Whoops!!!! Hold everything. That should say "which MTV headline," not Rolling Stone headline. (Before that would have been a ridiculous mixup; now, sadly, there's not much difference.) Anyway, my bad. Free point for everyone.

:oops: :oops: :oops:


I'll be more careful next time. I just did these off the top of my head, without fact checking. Seeing as it seems to be popular, I'll make it a new hipbase tradition - say, every Sunday: Problem Bear's Tragically Hip trivia!!!

Cheers,
John

P.S. So far 8 of the questions have been answered correctly at least once. The hipbase collective is mightier than the individual. An important lesson for us all.
:wink:

There is no I, only us, all the way from the front to the back of the bus.......

Who's going to make the first Borg joke?

[emperor penguin]

1. Tiger The Lion
2. Bobcaygeon
