Funny thing, these tickets are in the upper bowl but we went down to front stage for the entire show, I can’t remember if we snuck in or if they just didn’t differentiate seating back then.
I’m wondering what sort of effects Gordie has had on you either mentally or physically. He’s made me curl up in a ball

Be good to each other and stay safe out there.
Just a pun, I think
My cross-Canada cycling tour has brought me to Sault Ste. Marie, where the friendly folks seem to be smarter than trees. Alas, after managing the lonely highway 17 from Thunder Bay, it seems I’ve stepped out of the wilderness all squint eyed and confused.

My fav has to be, being at the concert on New Year's Eve 1999 in Toronto with my late best friend and our girlfriends at the time, an absolutely incredible night for sure!
NEWS FROM Kawartha Dairy:
The excitement and love Canadians have shown for The Tragically Chip™ has been beyond anything we could have imagined.
If you haven’t gotten your hands on it yet, don’t worry, we’re doing everything we can to make more available in the next couple of weeks.
It won’t be a long time coming!
Happy Canada Day fellow Hipheads. For those who've never heard it, Mr Downie singin' our national anthem.
Have a safe and happy celebration all. And an early Happy 4th to our American brethren in the Hip family.
I was listening to the Up To Here deluxe when I came across this song. On my first listen, I noticed that Gord's vocals sounded off (and I'm not talking about that effect over his voice compared to the clear band backing track, because they've rerecorded the instrumental for Ouch from Saskadelphia before too). During the first few lyrics, his pronunciation sounds to me like someone else's, or his vocals were run through some A.I. model to upscale them or something. As for the effect, it wouldn't make sense for this one song to have such a weird effect on his vocals when the other 1988 demos (sourced from the same cassette) have clear vocals. To me, it looks like they purposely placed this effect to mask the A.I. cadence. It also doesn't make sense why they moved forward with the other songs on the tape but left this one as a demo. Does anyone else hear this, or am I going insane? (I don't think the boys would authorize their label to do something like this, right?).
Selling. Tragically Hip one of a kind selling options/ideas?
HUGE piece of artwork/door signed by The Hip. Its from a fundraiser auction. Does anyone know how to go about selling an item like this? Thanks
Title: Rare Authentic Tragically Hip Signed "Red Door" Painting by Heather Haynes (With Provenance)
Description:
For sale is a highly unique piece of Canadian music history and fine art. This is the original "Red Door" collaborative painting created by acclaimed regional artist Heather Haynes, hand-signed by all five members of The Tragically Hip (including Gord Downie).
This piece was originally created and sold in 2013 as part of the Gilda's Club Southeastern Ontario Red Door Art Project charity auction right here in Kingston.
Have we ever tried to get Gord Downie on Canadian money? I know there are rules about what makes someone able to be on money but the PM could change these rules.
Gord being on a paper bill would be more representative of what defines Canada than our parent’s Prime Ministers.
Couldn’t we do a petition or something?
I’ll admit I’m far from a die hard fan but Hip was one of the few bands my pops raised me on. I’ve got the smallest part of a song (or Gord rant) stuck in my head and I can’t remember what it’s from. All I remember is he says something like “he sat there…smokin…smokin…” and repeats smokin a few times before the band comes back heavy. I could be totally off (it might not even be Hip), but if anyone has an idea please help. I’ve got an itch that needs to be scratched.

I found this website https://radio.garden and have been enjoying listening to radio from around the world. Any suggestions from my Redditors to the north on your radio stations that maybe play a little more Hip?
