EV intro to Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns
10/25/13 Hartford
In Violet Light was a wicked album. You get "Leave" and "It's a Good Life If you Don't Weaken". What more could you ask?
Fully Completely fuckin' rocks to!
In Violet Light is very underrated. Some Hip fans weren't too keen on it when it was released, and I know it didn't sell very well, but I think it's a very solid record. Leave is one of the most incredible songs they've ever written in my opinion, and how can you not love Good Life, The Darkest One, Throwing Off Glass, A Beautiful Thing, Silver Jet, The Dark Canuck, and of course, the absolutely brilliant Dire Wolf, which is obviously one of my all time favorite Hip songs (hence my username.)
"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."
"Gus: The Polar Bear from Central Park" live from St. John, N.B., featuring some absolutely smokin' guitar work from Mr. Baker.
"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."
thought this was pretty cool...the song stats from hipbase...gives you a good idea what tunes they play the most...check it out mariposa..."seven days", played only once! "psychadelic ramblings...", maybe under "unknown" ?...
"looking for a place to happen"...only 19?!?..."evelyn"...only 13?!?! "38 years old"...only 20!?!?! those are great tunes!
song name - # times played since 1987
Seven Days only played once! :eek: I'm glad to have heard it then!
I would've thought...38 Years Old would've been played more than 20. It's one of the best Up To Here songs!
38 Years Old was one of the first Hip songs I heard. And for years being so young and naive back then...the only lines I could remember from it were "He's 38 year's old, never kissed a girl". All I could remember was giggling and all I kept thinking was "Oh that poor poor man".
Anyway it's not until years later, that I really got into the band, and thankfully I looked up the whole lyrics (and the story behind it) for my sakes. Which made more sense, thank god.
I also thought it was actually about Gord's brother, like others have thought.
thanks for that link mariposa! i really enjoy gaining some insight into the meanings behind the songs.
i was questioning the number of times they'd played it...thinking maybe there was an error...i know on hipbase there are some setlists missing from the archives...but this seems to explain a lot. thanks.
If you think some of the Hip's covers are great, which they are, check out some of Gord's solo covers. Maybe this has been metioned before but Gord covers Johnny, Neil, and Bob splendidly. "Barstool Blues", "When you Dance I can Really Love", and "Tonights the Night" are given the proper treatment as well as other greats like "Going Going Gone" and "I Wants to Be Loved" by Dylan as well as "When the Man Comes Around" by Mr. Cash. Actually, there is a great version done by the Hip of "Going Going Gone" at http://www.thehip.com right now.

You're welcome! It is a very informative website...I've been reading so much from there as of late. However, it's kinda too bad they stopped playing it though. It's such a good song...kinda along the lines of Wheat Kings for me.
Hmmm I really gotta check out the setlist there, do you know how far back does it go?
"All the strength that you might think would disappear, resolving..."

incredibly, it goes all the way back to '87...but as i said, there are a few missing. a couple of the shows i've seen aren't there.

Hmm I see it now...they don't have the setlist for the earlier days too. It's still quite amazing nonetheless, since it goes back to '87! Must've taken a lot of work...
The Copperpenny Restaurant gig ain't there and that was way back in '85. Hence Psychadelic Ramblings is sort of non-existent on that other list.
"All the strength that you might think would disappear, resolving..."
She and multi-instrumentalist Chris Brown toured with the Hip in 2000. They would open the show, and then join the Hip on stage as auxiliary musicians, sort of like when Boom Gaspar joined Pearl Jam on the Riot Act tour.
Chris & Kate started out in the highly influential Toronto band The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir and then later moved on as a duo after the Bourbons split up. If anybody is interested, you can find out more about their music here:

Thanks direwolf! Her voice is really lovely. I gotta say...I'm loving this version...it gives it a whole different kind of feeling with the female presence there.
With her in Flamenco...oh that would be so perfect!

Some official News from the Hip Website: (And I'm sure this was sent through email today)

Hmm...the Hipbase forum has been down for the past day or so. They must be doing some renovations. In other news, Canada is currently getting their asses handed to them by the Swiss in Olympic hockey. Although I'm sure all those Swiss power plays have helped. C'mon Canada, get your asses in gear and stay out of the freakin' box!

I've always wanted one of those, but they're damn expensive.

sad to say i don't...but those are sweet!
They do have some other sweet Hip gears aside from the jerseys, man oh man. Hip hip.
I'm gonna try and get some tickets for the Fort York gig...should be awesome with The Weakerthans and The Sadies too.
tickets were surprisingly 55 bucks though, probably because of the venue :(
