Anyway...Fully Completely and Trouble At The Henhouse are my favourites.
are you a fan of "flamenco"?...one of the best on henhouse i think...not many of my friends like it though...doesn't get enough credit as a great hip tune, in my opinion.

Flamenco's awesome! I agree, it definitely is one of the gems in there, but moreover...one of the best Hip songs ever.
Trouble At the Henhouse is very very underrated.

YES! thank you mariposa! i'm not the only one...i love the lines..
maybe i'll go to New York
i'll drag you there
you said "no one drags me anywhere"
henhouse has so many good tunes - 700 ft. ceiling, sherpa, don't wake daddy, coconut cream..and of course gift shop and ahead by a century...definitely underrated as you said.
my personal faves are "fully completely" and "phantom power". i thought "live between us" was great...because i like the live version of springtime in vienna so much better than the album version, and for gord's rheostatics lyrics during "nautical disaster". great live album, i thought, but i have yet to ceck out the new dvd.
gord downie is one of the great canadian "poets", in my opinion. i met him on the day that johnny cash passed away and it was bitter sweet...always wanted to meet gord downie and talk to him, but we talked about johnny and it was quite somber...i found him the lyrics for "the man comes around" and he played it that night though, so i'll never forget that.
I can't believe you met Gord...that's amazing. You are very lucky.
And oh which reminds me...I haven't picked up their box set yet. I guess that's what tomorrow is for.

It is so hard for me to pick a favorite Hip Album... for me they are all great... but Fully Completely will take the cake. My favorite track: Pigeon Camera. I also love Trouble at the Hen House and Road Apples. Day for Night is good. I have a soft spot for Highway Girl it is on their self titled album... it is to the hip as Leash is to Pearl Jam... THEY WON'T PLAY IT LIVE ANYMORE!!!!! I have seen them over 20+ times... I really stopped keeping track. Definitely one of my favorite Canadian Bands... Matt Good too... He is so underrated!!!
Thanks harrison. Maybe you should take your beatbox down the street and eat some acid you silly pervert.

i consider him one of the great canadian "poets" ( a little play on the song there...:) ) i've yet to check out the book of poetry he wrote, but reading his lyrics is enough to tell that he's certainly up there with the great lyricists of our time.
edit: i forgot...i guess i already mentioned this...chalk it up to reinforcing my point

I love their self titled album. "Evelyn" is such a killer track and yes "Highway Girl" too!

yeah he did a solo show at the club i where i was bartending at the time. i went in early to set up the bar and check out his sound check. he walked up and held his hand out and said hi i'm gord (like he needed an introduction...:D )...we started talking about what a sad day it was, with johnny's passing and all...and he said that was actually the reason he wanted to talk to me...since i was the only one around at the time...he needed the lyrics to "the man comes around" so he could practice for the show that night, and was wondering if i could use the computer in the office to download them. i got them for him, and he opened with it...there were a lot of people crying. it was pretty moving.

Haha.
Well I've been looking for the Coke Machine Glow poetry book...everywhere. No luck yet.
Gord's solo albums...well those are another thing. I remember hearing "Chancellor" for the first time...and it gave me shivers! It still does.

sorry to keep bugging you mariposa, but we have very similar taste in tunes i think...chancellor is my favourite of his solo songs, followed by vancouver divorce...and evelyn is also my favourite track from the self titled hip disc

Thanks for sharing the story with us. Now that is pretty moving. Gord seems like a very down to earth and a very nice guy.

Every Irrelevance is my second, followed with Vancouver Divorce.

It was handsome at the auction,
oh but when we got it home,
it grew into something we could
no longer contain
Where's our pigeon camera,
by now he could be anywhere
and after all that training.
And after all that training,
something we could no longer contain.
It's boring, I'm embarrassed,
I don't endorse that, I didn't want this
This house it has it politics;
over there that's my room
and that's my sister's.
And that's my sister,
something we could no longer contain
It's boring, I'm embarrassed,
I don't endorse that; I didn't want this,
it's horrific, I'm embarrassed,
I didn't want that, I didn't want this
It's like we burned our boots with no
contingency plan

It's very sad...and it's just so beautiful at the same time. I think you really captured the moment and all the feelings you described....
I can't stop looking at it.
Once again, thank you for sharing Mookie.
thanks very much mariposa...it's based of course on the photo from the cover of American IV...but the rest is left black for the man and for the sense of mourning.
oh yeah! pigeon camera...i "fuly completely" love that whole album...pigeon camera is yet another underappreciated hip gem.
What I love about the Hip is you can put on one of their albums and listen to it all the way through... they don't have any shitty songs. I have the Special Edition Hipeponymous Book with the two CD's two DVD's and it is awesome... Yer Favorites...

First we'd climb a tree
and maybe then we'd talk
or sit silently
and listen to our thoughts
with illusions of someday
casting a golden light
no dresss rehersal,
this is our life
that's where the hornet stung me
and I had a feverish dream
with revenge and doubt
tonight, we smoke them out
You are ahead by a century
Stare in the morning shroud
and then the day began
I tilted your cloud,
you tilted my hand
rain falls in real time
and rain fell through the night
no dress rehearsal, this is our life
That's when the hornet stung me
and I had a serious dream
with revenge and doubt
tonight, we smoked them out
You are ahead by a century
but this is our life
and disappointing you's gettin'
me down

you guys & gals should all check out the new http://www.thehip.com & new fanclub in the works and great things happening in 2006
I just ended up buying their dvd "That Night in Toronto"...instead of their box set yesterday. It was only for $9.99 at Music World and I also got a Cadbury Peanut Butter chocolate bar for free along with it . It defintely is worth checking it out if any of you guys don't have it yet...there are so many highlights.
Oh I love Gord's ranting...in Fully Completely and Grace, Too. "The microphone stand...thinks he is a man!"
Too bad, I wasn't at that show. The dvd's awesome.
"All the strength that you might think would disappear, resolving..."
I finally heard In Violet Light today ... I think Silver Jet is one of my favorites now (it was a single, yet it got no radio play or something?), and The Dark Canuck is ... I don't know ... gripping. It is about Canada's role as junior partner in the U.S.'s foreign policy decisions, although you have to find this in Gord's lyrics.
I think Bobcaygen is one of the best songs I have ever heard in my life. When you are at a hip concert it rocks to sing along too. Also Long Time Running and Grace Too.
Fuck this band rocks.
Thanks harrison. Maybe you should take your beatbox down the street and eat some acid you silly pervert.

The live dvd is indeed great..i would have to say Nautical Disaster is my favorite song
and for those that mentioned Pigeon Camera, that song rocks man
edit: Flamenco rocks too
Oh, Phantom Power is another awesome record. The acoustic tunes...were so beautifully done....Bobcaygeon and Thompson Girl.
Fuck this band rocks.
