    I totally forgot this morning, and went to TM at 2 pm and they were gone. Thought I'd try HOB, and they still had tix for Friday night. Awesome!

    Is the capacity really only 5000-6000?

    So, is anybody here heading down to the Sasquatch Festival? I'm trying to round up a posse to drive down from Calgary, but unfortunately my friends are all too "grown up" to do stuff like this anymore, and it's tough to get anybody to commit to something like this so far in advance. I've currently got 4 people who are interested, but no confirmations yet. It's annoying.

    Ben Harper, the Hip, Sam Roberts, Neko Case, and the Constantines all in one day?? There's no way in hell I'm gonna miss that!

    Sadly. No luck here with the Fort York gig either.

    One of Gord Sinclair's best!

    And what an awesome debut album...which seems to get better with age.

    Man, I can't even remember the last time I listened to that disc. It seems so long ago, and they're such a different band now. My favorties off the EP are Killing Time, Small Town Bringdown, and Cemetery Sideroad, but I actually never liked Evelyn. I'm a Werewolf Baby and All Canadian Surf Club were fun songs, but they were more like novelty tunes than anything else. Overall the EP is pretty inconsistent in my opinion, but hey, they were young back then and it was their debut, so I forgive 'em. Technically "Up to Here" is their actual debut since it was their first full-length effort, and it's easily of the best debut albums ever made. If you listen to the EP and Up to Here back to back, it's amazing how much they matured as a band in such a short span of time.

    i love Up To Here

    When the Weight Comes Down, probably my fav song off the disc with 38 yrs old
    ..and you will come to find that we are all one mind, capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable

    When the Weight Comes Down is great. I'm also a big fan of Opiated and Another Midnight. The entire album kicks ass!

    Aside from 38 Years Old, Boots or Hearts is also one of the highlights in Up to Here for me. Opiated is awesome.

    Music @ Work is probably the only Hip record that I found...really hard to listen to when it first came out. And years later...thankfully that's not the case anymore. I've been listening to it a lot as of late...especially these tunes...

    Lake Fever
    Stay
    The Bastard
    The Completists
    Sharks
    Toronto#4


    And because we love Gord Downie quotes...

    too bad it hasn't been updated for quite some time though.

    The Bear and Train Overnight are probably my two favorite songs from that album. Music@Work is definitely their most inconsistent album, but it's also their most ambitious. The layered instrumentation, the female backing vocals (courtesy of Julie Doiron), the Middle Eastern-ish tabla that runs through The Bastard...it's all stuff that the Hip had never attempted before, and it was cool to hear them experiment like that. The most unique song on the record in my opinion is Tiger the Lion. It's such a crazy tune. The chord progression is downright creepy, and Gord's delivery is so powerful and cool. And I love Robby's Pink Floyd-esque guitar solo during the coda. Toronto #4 is just plain gorgeous, and Sharks has that great driving rhythm to it that gets my head bobbin' every single time. It's a very underrated album.
