Hi Fans;

We've just gone live with the first installment of the Hip Live Series. We've started with July 1, 2004, Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto.

Love to see what you guys think! Download, don't forget the artwork, and enjoy......

See you out there,

Anybody know if songs like "draidle, draidle, drailde" or "jingle bells" are copyrighted songs or if they lapsed into the public domain by now? I'm wondering if you can publish a childrens story with references to the songs, illustrations of the kids singing the songs, and perhaps eventually recordings of the songs (for books on tape) without having to pay anybody anything...

I know, I know, boring legal stuff, but ya gotta start somewhere. I figure there's a nice mix of smart folks and career criminals around here who might know.

I'm sure some of you have heard that Ken Bigley, the British hostage in Iraq, was beheaded in the past day or so. I was seriously thinking that he was going to be let free, but alas.

I then read this today...

I'm all for a good joke, but this is taking things way to bloody far. Mr. Bigley's head was on the chopping block, and this asshole has the nerve to make such a despicable comment??

Idiot! I hope his career is ruined.

Looking for the Calgary show from the recent tour...I'd gladly trade for it!

Hello, all...I finally got my photos from Fernie, BC back. So many wonderful memories! So, if you'll permit me the indulgence, I'd like to share my favourite Baker's Dozen from around the town!

Had to throw one of the intrepid explorer himself in! I don't know if I look as tired as I felt...that was one exhausting week, up and down the peaks of the Rockies!

On Willow Logic:

What do you think is the meaning of the line,

'It took big waves of discipline to learn they pump the birdsong in?'

This line haunts me, yet I can't claim to understand it.

Why does this feel like an accomplishment instead of an embarassment? :lol:

TORONTO - The Canadian dollar broke through the 80-cent US level on Friday for the first time in more than 11 years, fuelled by solid job creation numbers in Canada and weaker numbers in the United States.

The dollar touched 80.01 cents US around 11 a.m. EDT before slipping back to 79.96 cents US in late morning currency trading, up 0.68 cents.

The last time the dollar traded at the 80-cent US level was on March 30, 1993. Its last close above 80 cents US was the day before, when it finished at 80.18 cents US.

Friday's big lift for the Canadian dollar came after economic data showed Canadian job creation in September came in better than expected while U.S. job creation figures failed to meet economists' expectations.

The loonie has risen steadily in recent months as commodity prices increased – especially oil. Currency traders note that, as a net exporter of oil, Canada is a net gainer from rising prices.

The Canadian dollar has also been goosed higher by recent comments from Bank of Canada governor David Dodge, who warned on Sept. 20 that interest rate hikes are on the way.

The loonie has risen almost 3 cents against the U.S. greenback since Dodge made those comments.

Canadian dollar has risen 29 per cent since early 2002

Taking the longer view, the Canadian dollar has been on a steady rise since its low of 62 cents US in January 2002. At that time, it cost $1.61 Canadian to buy a U.S. dollar. Today, it costs $1.25.

If Canadian interest rates rise faster than U.S. rates, that makes our dollar more attractive to foreign investors and boosts its value.

Phillips, Hager & North economist Patricia Croft said many Canadians consider a higher loonie a feel-good story because of the perceived link between a higher Canadian dollar with a strong economy.

"When you open up your newspaper or turn on your TV and see the dollar through 80 cents, people think, 'Wow an 11-year high on the Canadian dollar, that's great' because there is this emotional tie between the value of a currency and how well the country is doing," she told CBC Newsworld.

Many bank economists expect the Canadian dollar to continue rising in the next year or two to anywhere from 81 to 83 cents US. The National Bank forecasts an 85-cent US loonie by the end of 2006.

obviously collectively we have been to tons of shows and have tons of chances to talk to the band... put out those memorable quotes...
