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…

Ted Tocks Covers - Year 9 - Day 11
So Hard Done By
Very few song writers have ever approached the layers of lyrical intrigue so consistently offered by Gord Downie.

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.

On this day in 2016, the Tragically Hip performed their final concert.

Sometimes I even forget

Ahead By a Century
Originally posted on July 2, 2019
Twenty years ago today the music world celebrated Live 8 which was a global call to action against poverty. This is just one reflection on that day.
“First thing we’d climb a tree
And maybe then we’d talk
Or sit silently
And listen to our thoughts
With illusions of someday
Cast in a golden light
No dress rehearsal
This is our life” -

#ThriftStoreFind of the day. #TheTragicallyHip Day for Night.
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. -

Reformed Baptist Blues
The Tragically Hip take a swipe at religious doctrine.
“Now you curse me every time I tell a lie
Trade my gold chains for those starch-back Texan ties
Can’t beseech it that our marriage is a fraud
Can’t get screwed around when the other guy is Gord (God)” -

Episode two hundred and seventy-nine is up now! Today's song is Wheat Kings by The Tragically Hip.
I discuss the heartbreaking true story of David Milgaard that inspired the song, and try not to cry again during a Tragically Hip episode.

Episode two hundred and sixty-one is up now! Today's song is Fireworks by The Tragically Hip.
I discuss the song's contrast of a loving relationship with the pop culture and world news of the times, and how it's all spun up in a fun rock tune.

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.
