just got off the phone with barney, and had a great interview...really cool guy, down to earth, and is working on a new album if anybody's interested..he says it should be out next spring

Once i have the files downloaded i can never actually run them on my computer, the flac files wont even register to any program and the woodstock show which is an mpeg, wont play in my media player. need some help.

Quote:I am sure everyone asks where you came up with the band name, Blue Meridian...

Donovan : Our namesake actually came from the Tragically Hip song "The 100th Meridian." Ironically, Elvis Costello (probably my favorite songwriter) gave the Tragically Hip the idea for their band name, from "Town Crier" off Imperial Bedroom album. I'm a huge "Hip" fan, but the 2 degrees of separation Costello thing was quite cool to discover.

From: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ink19.com/issues_F/99_10/ink_spots/005_blue_meridian.shtml">http://www.ink19.com/issues_F/99_10/ink ... dian.shtml</a><!-- m -->

I thought it was Michael Nesmith's video "Elephant Parts" that gave them the name. Can anyone provide some insight?

Here are the lyrics to "Town Crier"

I'm the town crier
And everybody knows
I'm a little down
With a lifetime to go
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place
Why don't you take a good look at my face
Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip
They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip
I'm never going to cry again
I'm going to be as strong as them
They say they'd die for love
And then they live it out
They'll give you something to cry about
And suddenly you really fall to pieces
I'm the town crier
And everybody knows
I'm a little down
With a lifetime to go
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place
Why don't you take a good look at my face
Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip
They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip
Love and unhappiness go arm in arm
Long suffering friends of your fatal charm
Isn't it a pity that you're going to get hurt
Just a little boy lost in a big man's shirt

hey all,

would anyone be interested in doing a DVD B and P, for the 93-07-24 Markham show, Halifax Misty Moon April 6 1990 show, and the Hipfans grab bags vol. II and III, any help would would be greatly appreciated, PM me if you are interested.

Thanks

Eric

wow.. hock:

I don't have a burner so heck, any Hip dvd nuggets would be appreciated...

Don't have anything to offer in return aside form some of my black and white Hip prints...

Who wants some positive karma spread their way? Who can help me out and drop some love in the mail for Big Daddy?

Go buy it. NOW! Trust me, you won't regret it. This is easily Jay Farrar's best work since "Trace".

Wow...

Philly is set. Talk about taking a run for the Cup. This means that Roenick is out, and all the sports websites have him heading to LA. Perfect place for a character like that...
