After hanging around Hipbase for the past year or so, I've come to realize that I should stop here first when it comes to hip related news. I'm really surprised that there haven't been any announcements when it comes to summer tour dates and/or US/European stops. Has anyone heard any rumors...or have an inkling of an idea? After reading the show reviews from the past couple nights, I'm itching to see the new tunes live. I suppose this is just generally frustrated babble...but any information would be appreciated! :thumb:

All gone folks. Hope those of you who got one enjoy it!

HEy all, I dont know if you are in to stupid movies (a la Dumb and Dumber) then you should definitely check out Napolean Dynamite. Saw the trailer for it the other day and laughed my ass off.

If I can fins the trailer online I will post it, it is great!!!

Someone might as well start the thread.
After hearing the sound bites on the rounder and that other site - I was scared I was going to hate this album.
Damn - this album rocks.
It really grabs the hell out of you after the first listen.
How many albums can you say do that?

Just two quick observations after several listens.
10. The Heart of the Melt
This song I think will definately be a show closer.
Reminds me of Fire in the Hole Part 2

8. As Makeshift As We Are
9. Mean Streak
I do not remember which one, but one of these two is SO much like Vapour Trails. That is what I hear.

I've seen a few people who are a little leery about using Bittorrent so I thought I'd help out.

Bittorrent is a fairly new file sharing program that's caught on really quickly. In order for you to download a file a few things have to happen.

First you need a Bittorrent Client, the original is available here:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/">http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/</a><!-- m -->

But I prefer a more advanced version called TorrentStorm available here:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.torrentstorm.com/">http://www.torrentstorm.com/</a><!-- m -->

Next you need to find the torrent file of something you want to download. Unlike other sharing programs you need to know what you want to download first, there's no searching. Usually the file will be posted on a web site. For Hip stuff here is a good place to start. For everything else try here:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.suprnova.org/">http://www.suprnova.org/</a><!-- m -->

That site is a little slow since just about everyone who uses Bittorrent is using it.

Once you download the torrent file (it generally has the extention .torrent) the you should just be able to double click on it and have it start downloading.

Now the way Bittorrent works is that there's a tracker that you talk to find out who is downloading the file and then you download little bits and pieces from everyone who's currently downloading (and has more than you) or people who've already downloaded the whole thing. This means that in order for this whole system to work once you've finished downloading the file you should keep the torrent running so that other people can download a little bit from you. It's up to you, but I usually leave it open until I've transfered as much as I downloaded.

More people who are behind firewalls and more advanced users can go here to learn more:

If you guys have questions ask them here and I'll try to answer them.

Just watch it...

Todd Bertuzzi was charged in court in Vancouver this morning with assault causing bodily harm for the Steve Moore incident. He will appear in court on July 9th.

cbc.ca will probably have it too!

All for now,
