Dammit! Why does freakin' Toronto always get the good stuff? I'm usually not one to complain, but when it comes to special one-off shows like this one, the west is constantly getting the shaft. I'd step over my own mother to see this show.

Sarah Polley can sing me to sleep anytime she wants! Not only does she have great pipes, but the girl is one hell of an actress with boat loads of integrity. Apparently Hollywood has been knocking on her door for years, but she continues to stay in Canada taking roles in mostly low budget indie flicks, and just about everything that Atom Egoyan directs. But it's not like she's completely turned her back on Hollywood. One of the coolest things ever was watching her kick some zombie ass in the Dawn of the Dead remake. Damn she's hot!

The Quinte Hotel really was brilliant!!! Its kinda got this Twilight Zone thing goin' on! Seems like the story could continue to go around and around in circles infinately.... :cool:

Don't get me wrong... I like Sarah as an actress... Seeing her do Go after being in Road to Avonlea was pretty monumental... hehehe...

And the chorus of her Courage was lovely... when she took it down an octave...

The radio station here in T.O. is doing a survey as to what the worst band name is in alt-rock these days. The guy who just called in suggested that "Tragically Hip" is the worst band name going. He said that he personally doesn't mind the name BUT thinks that their name is the reason that the band hasn't achieved the global commercial success that they deserve - "if their name wasn't so uncool they would have done much better"......any thoughts??????

.....I get 2 see the Hip at The Phoenix twice in the same year (hadn't seen them live in 10 years prior to now). I am actually going to see Sarah Harmer and Kathleen Edwards - the Hip will just be a little bit of gravy on the event.

Funny, I've always thought they had one of the coolest names in rock, but maybe that's just me. The name certainly isn't any worse than Queens of the Stone Age or Red Hot Chili Peppers, and those bands are HUGE. I actually chalk up the Hip's lack of global success to the fact that they have so much integrity and that they never changed their music to fit into any popular trend that was happening at the time. When grunge hit the mainstream, the Hip didn't really sound like grunge. When pop-punk became the flavor the month, the Hip didn't sound like pop-punk. When all those terrible nu-metal bands became popular (Limp Bizkit, Korn, etc..) the Hip weren't even close to sounding like that. When "emo" became the buzz word of the year, the Hip were about as far from emo as you could get. Right now, people the world over are salivating over indie-rock, which is now starting to absorb itself into the mainstream thanks to shows like the OC, Six Feet Under, and movies like Garden State. The Hip don't really have that lo-fi "indie-rock" sound to them, and although they're incredibly versatile and can pretty much play any style imaginable (rock, blues, folk, punk-rock, metal, pop, country, piano ballads), they're still for the most part a straight-ahead rock n' roll band, so there's no way they would ever become popular among the indie-rock set, even though lyrically (and sometimes musically) they're more sophisticated than just about any band out there. Gord Downie's solo work definitely has more of an indie-rock sound to it, but as a band the Hip's music sounds very polished and refined, kind of like...oh I don't know...like they've been playing and making music together for 20 years. They definitely have their own sound, but for some reason that sound never became one of the popular musical trends, and that's one of the reasons I think they're so cool and unique. I'd say the closest the Hip have to a musical brother would be R.E.M. or Pearl Jam, although I think Gord Downie is a far more interesting lyricist/frontman than either Michael Stipe or Eddie Vedder.

Anyways, what the hell was my point? Oh yeah. The Hip's name has absolutely NOTHING to do with their lack of global commercial success. It's their music that's kept them a secret. It's amazing that over the course of one year back in 1995 they opened for Page & Plant, The Rolling Stones, and played on Saturday Night Live, and yet they still didn't catch on with the American mainstream. It blows my mind.
