"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."
This thread sure is quiet when they're in between tours.

Well, looks like the hip are coming back to the rock(NFLD). However, I have never seen the hip live yet. My question is can anyone tell me what is special about the "gold circle" tickets they'll be selling? Is it worth the extra 20$ or should I go general admission?

If you register at thehip.com, you can get access to Friday's pre-sale for the East Coast dates. I assume the "gold circle" tix will be available through the Hip's pre-sale. Just go here for all the info:

Those melodies come back to me
in times beyond our heartbeat
I guess I'm too slow, yes I'm too, yes I'm too slow
but you said anytime of the day was fine
you said anytime of the night was also fine
our heartbeat, our heartbeat our hearbeat
long conversation idle chit-chat
maybe dive in or maybe hang back
this was the first song that came on my MP3 player this morning....
after such a busy and stressful work-week last week, it was exactly what i needed to hear...
is it possible for a song to be soothing and uplifting at the same time?
~~*~~ ...i surfaced and all of my being was enlightend... ~~*~~

My all time favorite Hip song. Music doesn't get much better than that.

I fucking love the Hip, but I was pretty disappointed when I saw them earlier this year. Everyone talks about how they are one of the greatest live acts, but I don't see it.

That's because you're clearly insane. (just kidding) Maybe you just caught them on an off night. I've seen them 23 times, and they've never failed to kick my ass. I'd easily put them up there with Pearl Jam and U2 for best live show I've ever seen.

Hey gang! Here's a cool little review of "World Container" from USA Today. Nice to finally see the Hip getting some much deserved props from a major American publication. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
.......
The Tragically Hip, World Container * * * 1/2 Contents may explode while playing
Canada’s most consistently brilliant rock band (consistently overlooked south of its border) enlisted Metallica producer Bob Rock for this effort, a pairing that might have meant a tragic buffing of Hip’s edges but instead resulted in a tighter, more accessible record that finally captures the punch of the band’s live sound. Arena anthems and a romantic piano ballad, a rarity in the Hip catalog, lean toward mainstream tastes, but the Ontario band keeps close to the slightly bent, lyrically smart, blues-clued organic rock that in-the-know fans have been hip to for ages.
Download: high-energy In View, rocking The Drop-Off, rough-hewn The Kids Don’t Get It
Consider: reggae-tinged The Lonely End of the Rink

there's just something about the echo and the melody of the last few lines,
"idle conversation or idle chit-chat, maybe dive in or maybe hang back..."
that makes me imagine little cartoon music notes escaping Gord's mouth, and floating up into the sky...
hearing this played outdoors at Fort York last summer was awesome... it's like the music just left the stage and flew away...
2 days to Boston...
(last Hip show here was 9/21/04.. same venue.. Avalon)
Yankees vs. Sox will literally be playing on the other sidewalk across from the club.. (The green monster wall is directly opposite Avalon)
Talk about a great tailgating scene!
PS:
How great is the addition of covers tunes to the encores..
That is gonna make one great bootleg compilation I tell you...!!!!
