Kingston Penitentiary Concert September 2018

Mon, 13 May 2019 13:14:22 +0000

Anyone going to this? Headstones, Trews, Pursuit of Happiness, Kasador, and Tom Cochrane are performing. I noticed the concert is being co-chaired by Paul's wife, Joanne Langlois. Paul's gotten up on stage before with Tom Cochrane (for Big League) and has a close connection with Hugh Dillon, having produced some of his solo work, so I'd bet on him being there. Would love to see him do 38 Years Old for the occasion.

Last Tour/New Thought

Thu, 02 May 2019 00:17:23 +0000

I'm sure others have thought about this years ago but this only came to me recently. Despite the miraculous nature of the final tour, it's actually kind of sad that the old rambling Gord was pretty much not there. The Hip were obviously famous for developing new songs out of their riffing and Gord's rants and poems and asides. And I don't think that happened on this tour, right? The miracle was that they nailed the songs as well as they did. They didn't really stray far from them. At least from what I saw in Toronto or on TV in Kingston. Now Gord had to focus on the songs. I totally get that. I still can't believe he and the band pulled it off so splendidly. But beyond the lack of Gord's between-song banter, that also signified that there weren't any new songs in development. At least nothing they were obviously trying to work out on stage. We know they were working on Hip songs together after the final tour. But we have no evidence that they were working on these ideas on the MMP tour. So the tour is an anomaly in that way. The one time they weren't playing live with an eye toward what's next. Sad in itself. But again, thank God we had that last tour. Imagine if Gord announced his illness and the band was just done. That would be worlds worse. They landed the balloon. Cheers to that.

Chancellor Meaning

Mon, 22 Apr 2019 22:29:06 +0000

Just sitting around butchering Chancellor on the guitar and wondering if anyone has any insight into the lyrics? I've read someone mention Hitler/Ava Braun but that feels a bit on the nose for Gord...though I know he used to rant about both frequently on tour. Someone else on another site suggested the vampire is Gord's temper.

Let's hear what you have.

Best and Worst Bands you Discovered thru The Hip

Fri, 19 Apr 2019 00:10:28 +0000

What bands did you not know before The Hip? That The Hip introduced you to?
What/who do you love? Hate?

Me:
Love Love Love: Death Cab Cab For Cutie
Never,ever, knew them before.

Hate? Broken Social Scene I just dont get any of it. From Gords/Hip stuff to BSS stuff.

I have found many more bands that I like through The Hip.
But these two blow my mind for different reasons.
