    I remember a girl on her cellphone
    surrounded by her friends
    eyes flickering she's trying
    to smother her smile in her hands
    Is it someone for us
    someone more worry-free
    someone who can say'
    "leave the worrying about him to me Josephine"?

    I remember you there in the last rays
    of light at diplomacy's end
    eyes flickering you're crying,
    "but , isnt this when the crimes begin?"
    when the people you want to don't
    and the people who do
    you don't believe
    do you Josephine?

    I remember you there at the table
    surrounded by all the days plans
    eyes flickering you're trying
    to let a coffee cup warm your hands
    maybe we're born lost
    born to perserve
    but honey I'd walk into your painting
    until I reappeared
    as a speck of comet-tail dust
    a blue-green northern light
    flickering just
    in your eyes' deepest ravines
    goodnight goodnight Josephine
    Cock Fight.

    Floor GA..3/29 at the Moore...one of my friends bailed. Figured I would offer it up here! Face value, of course...about $42 USD.

    "World Container" is a great new disc by the Hip...out now in the US if you don't already have it! (I myself bought it on the Canadian release in the Fall!)

    Let me know if interested. Peace!

    Nice! I wish I could afford to follow the Hip everywhere! I'll have to catch them in May in Chicago next tho.. My boyfriend is ready to cut off my funding for all the money I am spending on bands lately. Have a blast.

    My personal favorite is the Ottawa show, 11/28/04. It's got one of the best versions of "At the Hundredth Meridian" I've ever heard.

    My cousin lent me his copy of Fully Completely back in '96 or so and I was hooked after the first few spins. They made it to Orlando for the In Violet Light tour and I caught that show..it was amazing! They're only coming as far south as Atlanta on this tour and if it wasn't tomorrow night i'd make that drive in a heartbeat.

    Nice.. you guys get clubs shows down there all the time too.. lucky :).. although I guess I was fortunate enough to catch tickets to their first Canadian club tour in a looong time...

    Fully Completely is one of my all time favourite albums.. cousin picked a good one to lend you!!

    Hey guys 'n gals..

    I think the Hip are good luck for me. Remember when I first startted posting in this thread I had won tickets to the Hip on the Hour? Well, you're not gonna believe this, but I won front row tickets to The Hip/The Who in Chicago tomorrow night as well! I got a call Thursday evening from thewhotour.com informing me that I am the Chicago front row contest winner. I don't know what seats I will have in the front row, but I have never been in the front for an assigned seating show in my life, so I don't guess it really matters much which seats are mine. The only thing I regret is that I still have not seen a full on Hip show. The only other time I saw them was for New Years Eve this year at House of Blues in Chicago. It was great, but still, shorter than their normal shows. As a result of them doing NYE and The Who show, it seems they are not going to headline one of their own shows here. Hopefully they will come back and give us a full show in the near future.

    Send some vibes out tomorrow night for Fiddler's Green, Long Time Running and 38 Years Old. I really really wanna hear these three songs!

    Peace

    Holy crap, Z!!!!
    It's been a while since i've checked this thread.... congratulations on another Hip win!! where are you hiding those horseshoes??? :p

    It's karma!! giving away your The Hour tickets brought The Who tickets back to you!! i'm glad you finally got enjoy some of your spoils... :D

    I'm bored at work, here's a run down of my fav to least fav hip albums.

    1. Phantom Power
    The Hip at the their very best, a stunning album - for once the production is perfect, all but one track (The Rules) are amazing. Poets and Vapour Trails are great rock songs, Bobcayeon is breathtaking and 'Escape' and 'Penguin' maybe the greatest ending to any album ever.

    2. In Between Evolution
    The Hip went back to basics on this albums, this album is packed with great songs they very nearly better the ending of Phantom Power with the double whammy of 'Family' and 'Josephine'.

    3. Fully Completely.
    The most playable Hip album, just hit play and listen to it, no weak tracks to skip and the song order is perfect, the thing that lets this album down is the woeful production which makes it sound like it was recorded though a sock.

    4. Day For Night.
    This seems to be regarded by alot of fans as the best album and it is great but I always feel it's got maybe 2 songs to many on it - it's still a great album and Nautical Disaster and Grace Too are easily amoung the top few Hip songs ever.

    5. In Violet Light.
    You don't see this album to high in most peoples list but this album in my opinion has 3 of the very best Hip songs ever (Darkest One, It's a Good Life and Silver Jet) and then there is 'Dire Wolf' my fav Hip song ever which makes up for some of the weaker tracks.

    6. World Container.
    The new in your face poppy'ed up Hip. It's short and sweet full of hooks and big choruses - It feels like a chocolate snack compared with the normal ful meal hip albums and that's fine with me.

    7. Road Apples.
    Still alittle to rootsy and bluesy for my liking to be honest, it's still full of great songs '3 Pistols' 'Cordelia' and 'Fiddlers Green' are brilliant but there are a couple of meh songs like 'On the verge' (may have got that name wrong) and 'Fight' is awful, probably the worst Hip album track for me.

    8. Music@Work.
    An album of 2 halfs. The first 7 tracks are amazing 'Lake Fever', 'Stay' and 'The Bastard' being the highlights. However the latter 7 tracks are pretty weak (The Bear and Sharks are ok) and feel rushed and more like b-side material.

    9. Up To Here.
    Again to rootsy and bluesy for me to really enjoy (never been a fan of the stones) 'High Dough' and 'New Orleans' are of course classics and a few others are good, but overall I don't play this album much anymore.

    10. Trouble At The Henhouse.
    This is my least favourate Hip album simply because it's the only album where they sound lazy, it could basically be the outtakes from 'Day For Night'. 'Ahead by a Century' stands out at the one true killer song while '700ft Ceiling' and 'Apartment Song' are pretty good, but crap like 'Coconut Cream' and 'Butts Wiggling' are comic b-sides at best.

    There you go, sorry for terrible grammar, spelling but I have to keep hiding it when the boss in around ;)
