Trouble At The Henhouse
The Hip's 5th turns 30 today ... their first album released in Canada and the USA at the same time. The album's lead single -- "Ahead By A Century" -- became one of the most beloved in Canuk history. It features some of the best Gord Downie lyrics -- childhood and innocence that still resonates today. The album was huge in Canada and swept the Juno Awards in '97. #thetragicallyhip #troubleatthehenhouse #90smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky…

More songs that got me obsessed with alt-rock way back when. Elastica, The Tragically Hip...that kind of sound. Get your mind ready for an hour long auditory flashback. Listen at the Mixcloud link.

I haven't listened to this album in probably more than 25 years. Waves of #nostalgia
This album was on heavy rotation for me in grade 12 after it was released during the fall of 1994. -
Well, that's one hell of an ad (at least, if you're Canadian):

Gordon
In the realm of music, Gordie Tapp was the first Canadian Gordon who made it big. He was in the country field. Indeed, he was a regular on the country show, Hee Haw. He only had a couple hits because he was more of an entertainer, emcee, broadcaster and writer.
Gordon Lightfoot is the most famous Canadian Gordon musician. With mega hits like Sundown and If You Could Read My Mind, Lightfoot was known world wide and had a huge fan base. Was he folk, country, or rock? No one could really tell but he didn’t need to say, he was just a singer/songwriter that wheedled his way into the hearts and minds of many people.
Gord Deppe is the main songwriter and singer/guitarist for the Canadian rock band The Spoons. They had the hits Nova Heart, Romantic Traffic and Those Old Emotions. He’s also been known to play guitar for Flock of Seagulls.
Gord Downie was the lead singer and lyricist for the Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. He led the band through most of their existence and even put out some of his own solo work. He died tragically in 2017 of terminal brain cancer.
Probably all you non Canadians figure that there must be a lot of Canadian Gordons since so many are successful musicians. But that’s just not true. I’ve lived my whole 57 years in Canada and have just personally known 1 Gordon. He was a teacher of mine.
So this famous Canadian musician thing that the Gordons have is a statistical anomaly.
In the very early nineties, the Canadian rock band the Bare Naked Ladies seemed to be doing everything right. Their shock name got the attention of nearly everyone, they had two lead singers and had an album’s worth of songs including 4 or 5 that were ear worms. All they needed was a good album title and perhaps they could guarantee success.
They decided to play it conservatively and went with the name Gordon, simply based on how popular Canadians named Gordon seemed to be in pop. They contrived themselves into a successful release and the rest is history for the band.

Episode two hundred and two is up now! Today's song is Bobcaygeon by The Tragically Hip.
I discuss the complex story and imagery in the lyrics, and the small town that gave its name to this big song.

A nice little surprise in my mailbox today. I pre-ordered this six months ago and have been looking forward to it ever since. Perfect timing to sit and flip through it this weekend.

Canadians are more likely to know The Tragically Hip than someone from the U.S. If you don't know them, check out this article and find the songs the article mentions. "Courage" & "Bobcaygeon" are my favorites.

Eleven million Canadians came together to witness The Tragically Hip's last show, one of the most transformative events in the country's recent history. Said musician Tom Wilson: "The shots of Canada crying together. Is a politician able to do that? No fucking way. Is a religion able to do that? Not a chance. Is a corporation able to do that? No. It's the power of artistry and the power of the human experience."

The Tragically Hip were more than just the most beloved band in Canada. Their final performance literally brought the country to a standstill in a celebration of music, grief & unity. No Dress Rehearsal documents the origin, impact & legacy of a phenomenal band & a final tour for the ages.

I miss Gord Downie. This is going to be a great documentary, I hope.
