Hipbase hierarchy. What are the gradations? Posts to title ratios? 200 posts = experienced groupie and such. Anyone?

Anyone ever read "Ghost Rider"?

Unreal! Picked it up last night and read the first hundo. Talk about some serious shit to deal with. Daughter and wife of 20 yrs die within a six month period, and he's still functional. None of this pussy suicide shit. Now that guy is a fucking man.

Sometimes the strangest things show up on google. I searched for "Belinda Stronach office picture" because her office has apparently been covered in signage and minor grafitti as a result of her defection.

I found this page: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.saturdaynight.ca/browser/article.cfm?listing_id=5">http://www.saturdaynight.ca/browser/art ... sting_id=5</a><!-- m --> and learned that "In 2001, Canadian Tire went before the World Intellectual Property Organization to wrest control of the domain crappytire.com from a satirist."

I think that CTC should have won, as almost everyone I know refers to it as Crappy Tire.

not found.

Before the search police come knocking, I did a search and this was the closest thread I found but it was more about the opening lines of a song and not the music that leads in <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hipbase.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5361&highlight=favorite+intro">http://www.hipbase.com/forum/viewtopic. ... rite+intro</a><!-- m -->

What I was pondering was, over time we've heard some cool musical intros to songs ie: Metallica-One, The Doors'-Riders on the Storm, Coldplay's-Clocks or The Stones'-Start Me Up who doesnt reconize that riff? Jimi's-Purple Haze lick is pretty awesome, or one of my fave's Nirvana's-Come As You Are....(there's too many to name really) Yes the first 15-30 seconds of a song can have a real lasting effect or impact, that being said anyone have a particular Hip favorite? Which ones really stand out, or make you jump out of your seat or scream I love that tune sweeeet!!

I can name some of my own favorites..

1. Opiated-one of absolute favorites, those first few riffs always get me going, especially the first time I heard them live, I was knocked on my ass. Also one of my favorite Hip songs as well.

2. Pigeon Camera-I dont know what it is but I just love the first 30 seconds of the song, I think it started the first time I saw Heksenketel, when it was playing during the bus ride. I always put it on my Hip CD-R's

3. If New Orleans Is Beat-such a sweet song, I love the opening, its puts me in a good mood everytime I hear it.

4. Mean Streak-this one is especially cool on the Toronto livedownloads version. Love it.

I could go on forever here, but I'll leave some for the rest of you's. Im more of a sucker for the slow songs, especially when it comes to the Hip, they have some of all-time faves.

So Belinda is a grit....I'd imagine this will help with the budget vote this thursday. Stephen Harper eat your heart out.
