Best video they've ever done!
"I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

I love the hip, I saw them live back in November 2004. It was a great show, only they didn't play fireworks.. We did get Little Bones and New Orleans is Sinking though so all is well.
Holy crap! Today's song of the day is a full recorded version of the long lost unreleased gem "Blonde Solid" from 1995. Parts of this song used to be played during extended onstage jams of New Orleans is Sinking and At the Hundredth Meridian, but I don't think I've ever heard a full version of the song until today. Wow. The band's webmaster recently told the Hipbase forum that the boys are planning to release a rarities/b-sides album sometime in the future. I can't wait to hear it! Hopefully they'll take a page out of Pearl Jam's book and make it a double-disc. Anyways...ladies and gentlemen, I give you BLONDE SOLID:

Thanks again direwolf, for keeping us up to date with the "Song of the day" and whatever it is happening over at the The Titanic Terrarium. That is some great news indeed! It reminds me why I love this band so much!
It's great to finally hear Blonde Solid! I found the lyrics over at the Hip Museum...and some info too...
"Blonde Solid: Fully Completely outtake whose lyrics were inspired by a painting Gord saw. Played live on 4/18/92, and brought back during jams in 1996-99."
Me I'm dirty all the time
In a quite becoming squalor
She's blonde solid
She's blonde solid
The kind I'd follow anywhere
So I accidentally did so
She's blonde solid
She's blonde solid
I was the funniest guy in the room
For half an hour or so
At a party filled
With the likes of which
I'll never know
She stuck close to the TV set
I was back here in the kitchen
She's blonde solid
She's blonde solid
I was the funniest guy in the room
For half an hour or so
Pretty much until
This guy kicks me out
He says it time to go
And that's the way Mark painted her
Brown, yellow, stolid
She's blonde solid
She's blonde solid
I was the funniest guy in the room
For half an hour or so
At a party filled
With the likes of which
I'll never know

Ahh Problem Bears, great lyrics....I really should listen to that tune more often.
So it's been non-stop "In Between Evolution" as of late...for me. And I've been listening to nothing but the Hip for the past weeks now...."chronologically". This is nuts.

For a long time I thought I was one of the few that shared these two bands as my favourites...but was I pleasantly mistaken! My Hip experiences go back a long way, seeing them in the double figures....I was at the Cobo Hall gig that became Live Between Us, and at a few Molson Park appearances....one of my favourites being just after David Milgaard was released and:
Gord saying "how do you feel about the Death Penalty now" as Wheat Kings begins...
Another top moment was at the Toledo Zoo, where after someone fired a beer bottle at Gord, he responded by saying "I am going to play my least favourite song because of you, and stare only at you....!!!"
But my all-time favourite site for a Hip concert has been (and I'm Canadian) has been the Orbit Room in Grand Rapids Michigan. We made the 2 1/2 hr commute from Windsor (fully , and completely, drinking the entire way) and watched them perform in front of 200-250 people...most of them fellow Canadians!!
I haven't checked out the newest CD/DVD, but anticipate a new album!!!
My contention has always been that the only place in Canada that Pearl Jam would have a hard time headlining would be at a Hip concert......and I saw PJ in 1992!!!

Welcome to the Hip thread! If you're ever looking for some fellow Canucks on the message pit, chances are you'll find us in here. Like you, I'm a huge fan of both the Hip and Pearl Jam. You know it's gonna be a great year for new music when BOTH of these bands have new albums coming out. It's gonna be a magnificent summer. Rock n' f**kin' roll, baby!!!

i'm actually really craving to see the hip in concert again. i've seen them once (july 1/2004) and it was one of the best shows i've ever seen at the amphitheatre. in fact, it was the second best show that i caught that year (first place going to rush)
Song of the day at thehip.com: "Yawning or Snarling" from Caberet Metro, Chicago '94!

I filmed all of the Somerville shows, maybe you've seen one of my bootleg DVD's out there? (Thanks to Chris K. from Hiptracker.com, he edited them)
I finally took a break for the 2004 Avalon show.. turns out nobody filmed it or recorded it for audio (Arrrrg!) so I guess I'm the offical Boston filmer for the 2006 tour..
Can't wait for the new site to get "fully" loaded and let's keep in touch as PJ and the Hip both release new albums . tour dates..!~!!
As Gord would say "It's a good life if you don't weaken"...2006 will put our wallets to the test (with PJ / Hip shows, T-shirts and offical bootlegs.. eh?)
PS: I'm also "Locked" on Hipbase.com..
Peace my new friends,
Scott in Boston
Hey Scotty... just found this thread, and am working my way through the 20+ pages and noticed this post. http://tracker.hipfans.com is the actual site address... and I've still got a show or two of yours to edit and convert to DVD.
2006 is definitely putting my wallet to the test - I'm going to the 5 announced European shows, and the 2 shows in Toronto... DVDs will be plentiful this year!
Meanwhile....back in 1985 @ the Copperpenny show (without Paul Langlois)...
anyone heard of Psychedelic Ramblings of Rich Kids and their sweet cover of Sweet Jane?
I also have a song called Susie Q from '88. Man this is some funky and rockin' out tune!
Check out my mirror site http://thumpmedia.com/dana for some great Hip rarities. Dana over at Hipbase started a "weekly" program posting rarities, and I've compiled all of them on my site.

That Canada Day show was incredible! I've seen The Hip 30+ times, and this show was by far the best total concert experience I've ever had.
direwolf74 has mentioned a couple of great hip sites (hipbase and hipmuseum) but for live Bit Torrent downloads of Hip shows, check out my site http://tracker.hipfans.com and then once you've downloaded a show, visit http://covers.hipfans.com to download the relevant artwork.
and unless you start posting that PJ in Mexico 2003 TV Broadcast DVD on Hiptracker..I'll have you banned from this forum..
people know me here ...and in case you haven't noticed...
you're not in Canada (aka Kansas) anymore ....
AND You won't end up on any official Pearl Jam DVD like the way you paid of the HIP's filmers to feature you in "That night in Toronto"...
Nope, you have no power here..
Hey... and when the F*ck are they gonna post some Boston / Somerville dates for the new HIP tour??
Hey Chris, in all seriousness, they just opned the PJ archive and allowed us full access to a 1993 soundbaord (entire show) from Las Vegas
its an audio download.. with more shows to come..!
Can you imagine if the HIP does the same???
All my Best,
Scott

EV intro to Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns
10/25/13 Hartford
I realize I'm going international with this, but I thought that through the power of the internet, my "powers" were transferable from fan forum to fan forum... oh well... that PJ Mexico DVD is staying put in my collection, and won't be on the tracker. I think that only the PJ show from the last tours stop in Toronto was posted to it.
The announcement of a Boston show would be incredible, although with the spate of shows I'm already attending (without even thinking about the 2 PJ shows in T.O.) I doubt that I'd be able to make the trek down there.
And if The Hip open up their back catalogue for purchase downloads they way PJ is... let's just say it woudn't be a pretty sight when my Visa bill showed up!

It's another HIP day once again.
Thanks for all the links! I'm sure the rest of the guys here will appreciate it as well. The Gordon Lightfoot cover was pretty sweet.
And it sure was great to hear another tune from the CopperPenny gig!
"All the strength that you might think would disappear, resolving..."
Some years ago I try to listen to an album, but it didn't gab me at all.
Can anyone tell me what the best album is?
« One man's glory is another man's hell.

Some years ago I try to listen to an album, but it didn't gab me at all.

It's a great name...and a pretty interesting one!
"What does the name "The Tragically Hip" mean?
From: Tales from the Hip, Winter 94-95 No.1: "The name, The Tragically Hip, was taken from a Michael Nesmith video called "Elephant Parts." The video contained a clip asking for contributions to The Foundation for The Tragically Hip: poor, afflicted people in need of jacuzzis, Lamborghinis and cocaine. Here is what Paul said about the name once: "There seems to be some confusion about our name...about the kind of band we are. People either like the name, think it's clever and funny or think it's a really pretentious, new-wave thing. We were billed in Germany a couple of times as an American Hip Hop band." -- The Tragically Hip "
Oh by the way which album was that?
My personal favourites are Trouble at the Henhouse, Fully Completely. Phantom Power's one of their best too by the way. There are so many great tracks off of that record, I suggest you start with that if you wanna get into the band again.
"All the strength that you might think would disappear, resolving..."
I have absolutly no idea what record it was. It was quit some years ago
I'm not sure but I think the cover was red.

Trouble At the Henhouse is a pretty interesting record...and it is sort of tough to listen to, especially if you're just starting out with the HIP...I understand that. I love it though. I hope you'll like Phantom Power or Fully Completely and then maybe you can listen to all their other records as well. They are an awesome band.
And good Karma to you too.
"All the strength that you might think would disappear, resolving..."
I will put it on my list. Fully Completely sounds good.
promise me you'll do yourself a favour,........... Check out Motorpsycho.
Trust us -is thier most compleet album
Timothy's monster -is like a nice spring album
Angels and deamons at play -is a dark and freaky album
Blissard -is just great

Enjoy the HIP.

Watersound is good aspecially the ending The words are really drowned in the music witch is nice since it's called watersound.
It's from the album Tymothy's monster.
