    Any idea when the new album comes out?

    No release date yet, but I just came across this article on the Hip forum which finally sheds some light on the album's progress:

    "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."

    Just wanted to say that I'm following you man. Huge HIP fan right here. Hoping for a summer/fall tour that stops over in Newfoundland. Been three years since we've had them here.

    so I stopped in at Into The Music (Winnipeg) over this weekend, and found something of interest. A two disc bootleg of the War Child concert held in 2000 at the Forks. $20. Some dude here in the city is making big bucks off boots. It's obviously the same guy, must be in the industry. He uses the same fonts for all his artwork, you can just tell it's the same guy. how is it legal for this place to sell these? I saw they had the PJ Winnipeg 2005 show there. But those boots were sold digitally, with downloadable artwork. He burnt the discs, printed off the art, and sold it. But, I guess if there's people like me buying them, he'll keep doing it!

    Anyway, I was pretty stoked because of all the Hip boots I have, NOT ONE is a Winnipeg show. So now I have one. :)

    No Somerville tour dates??

    Or a return to Bills Bar next to Fenway Park??

    I'm hoping this is the album that draws me back tonthe hip!

    And I really hope Gord Downie retires his Tap dance shoes and cane and just goes back to shaking his head like a maniac while taking exaggeratedly large steps..

    The Hip, with Sam Roberts, Jets Overhead and Current Swell in Victoria, BC on July 13th...hoping to try and go to this one...unless they decide to play Seattle around that time. But, that is a great bill for an outdoor show IMO.
    I will not lose my Faith, it's an Inside job today....

    The Hip

    I heard the song tonight on HNIC. Just pure rock n' fuckin' roll. As someone said on the Hip forum, it's like the bastard love child of Vaccination Scar and Looking For a Place to Happen conceived during Lonely End of the Rink. The finished version sounds much more refined than the early live versions we heard last summer. Love it! Looking forward to the new album.

    Lonely End of the Rink is one of my all time fave Hip tunes, so if it's anything like that, I'll dig it.

    From the Hip's twitter page:

    Tune into 102.1 the Edge tonight. Johnny Fay will be stopping by The Edge studios at 7pm ET TONIGHT, to speak with Bookie and premiere the new single At Transformation.

    http://player.edge.ca/

    And here's the Hockey Night in Canada video from the other night. It's not the full song, as they edited it to fit the length of the montage. But it's a good teaser. The full song will be available on iTunes on Friday.

    For now I'll leave you all with an exerpt from a recent article that someone posted over at the Hip forum. And I'm not gonna lie, I think I had a small orgasm reading this:

    "It's late on a Friday afternoon in March, and Paul Langlois is on the phone. The Tragically Hip guitarist has just left the recording studio where he and bassist Gord Sinclair were putting the finishing touches on the Kingston, Ont. band's forthcoming album. When it's released later this year, it will be the band's 13th studio release. Unlike the group's more recent outputs that were a bit grander in nature, Paul said this new album will be a return to the band's roots. Shuffling between their Bath, Ont. studio and one in Toronto, the band worked with producer Gavin Brown and recorded this album live off the floor"

    Damn, this song is kicking my ass. Love those dirty, grungy guitars. And Gord's vocals are excellent. "I wanna help you lift enormous things." Great line.

    Here's a radio interview with Gord Sinclair from a couple days ago:

    I have to say DW.. I had been on quite a negative tear on the Hip with my latest posts..

    Well I can say without a doubt I LOVE "In Transformation" studio clip..

    sounds like Dark rocking "old time" Hip to me...

    I'm stoked..

    Curious though.. Gord S. says the new CD will be Titled "Plan A"..

    but maybe they will spell it:

    "Plan EY?"

    to mock the canadian expression?

    Good stuff!
