    Hey everybody! Here are a couple of articles to help tide you over until the new album arrives. The first one is an article/interview with Gord Downie regarding his upcoming solo shows in support of Waterkeepers, a Canadian environmental group involved with water conservation. The 2nd one is a review of last night's Hip show at the Ovation Music Festival in Stratford. Enjoy!

    Holy crap, check this out! From thehip.com:


    The Hip Live 10 series

    "Hey folks,

    We are very happy to announce the launch of The Hip Live 10 series for sale exclusively through itunes (Canada only, for now).

    The songs for Live 10 are taken from songs streamed from thehip.com’s "Song Of The Day" feature.

    Volume 1 will be available Tuesday September 12th. Each volume will be available for purchase as a whole, or as individual songs. Subsequent volumes will be released over time.

    Check back to http://www.thehip.com at 2:00pm (est) on Tuesday september 12th for a live link or go directly to itunes canada."


    The only crappy thing is that it says Canada only. But for our American friends, I'm sure some of us Canucks will be more than happy to make a CD copy and ship it off to ya. I'm sure there are also more "high tech" ways of helping you guys out, but I'm still living in the stone age with my crappy outdated laptop, so I wouldn't know.

    Wow! Go over to thehip.com and listen to the song of the day- an absolutely smokin' version of Nautical Disaster from London, England '06. Gord goes off on what seems to be a rant about George Dubya and Tony Blair lying to their countries to go to war. He sounds angry.

    I got Up to Here about 10 years ago - I love the whole record, and I keep meaning to check out more of their music. But I'm an idiot so it hasn't happened yet.

    Stratford was fucking amazing. It was my tenth time seeing the Hip but the first in 3 years and they have not lost a step. I have fallen in Love with them all over again. I shouldn't be saying this on a PJ site but The Hip is all I listen to right now.

    Wow, you've got some catching up to do! Up to Here is a classic, but the Hip have come such a long way from that album (it was released way back in 1989 after all). They still play some of the material from that record live, but like any great band their music has changed and evolved over time. I recommend picking up their double-disc greatest hits album "Yer Favourites". That'll give you a sense of where they've been and where they're headed. If it's studio albums you want, the following are absolute must-haves:

    Road Apples
    Fully Completely
    Day for Night
    Trouble at the Henhouse
    Phantom Power
    In Between Evolution

    Once you've absorbed those, then move on to their more experimental stuff on albums like Music@Work and In Violet Light. I have no idea what their new album "World Container" is going to sound like, but judging by the first single and the fact that they recorded it with Bob Rock, my guess is that it's going to be more polished and more straight-ahead rock than previous albums.
