Talk is that he will likely get arrested by the Vancouver PD. A la donald brashier experince.. I think thats total bullshit. I think he should be suspended for the rest of the year INCLUDING playoffs. Thus losing millions of dollars and crushing his teams hopes. When you become a hockey player you know the risks, the law should not apply in this case.

Ok, folks I've got a challenge for you.. getting my computer upgraded and as part of the upgrade im getting a cd burner, photoshop etc that I can make cd's. I've had an idea in the back of my head to make an all Canadian artists cd for a couple of old friends of mine in Toronto for Canada Day. What I want from you fine folks is suggestions for Canadian artists, preferrably no rap, hip hop stuff (as they dont care for that). One of these friends is my ex-gf, I introduced her to the Hip; so I'm limiting Hip songs to Black Day in July or some of the new ones. The floor is open to suggestions....enjoy!

Rick Mercer was in Kingston at Queen's U and mentioned the Hip and as he walked by Rob Baker was sitting on the steps. "There's Rob Baker" "Hi Rick" Baker said.

A short interview followed about how the Hip played on campus at the pubs and made enough money to get themselves through university.

Further to grats99 post about the 1st single being released on April 8th.

The song they are releasing will be "Vaccination Scar" which can be heard at select Canucks home games. From what i heard of it during the game it does rock.

I was just chatting with a friend of mine at Universal Music and i asked about an album title and he said he hasn't heard one yet.

There was a reference made to it being "Classic Hip".

How good is that!!!!

O i can't wait

I was listening to some of my hip dvds on the weekend and found myself hoping that the hip will do more extended jams this coming tour. We all love the rants Gord D does during the jams but what about the rest of the band. Now that Gord D is getting proficient with the guitar I would love to see/hear some extended music jams. Wouldn't it be awesome to see Gord S blast into a bass solo followed by Johnny hammering on the drums and Paul and Rob tripping out!! Many, Many Hip songs would easily lend themselves to extension. Don't get me wrong I still love having nicely put together five minute songs played for me but they seem a little bit the same when you see four or more shows a tour. For the IVL tour the setlists didn't change that much between cities. Extended jams used to be a regular part of the hip show. Remember classics like highway girl and all canadian surf club. Any boots from 89 and earlier will have extended jams of these songs. I would love to hear a 17 minute version of vapour trails. Am I alone on this or do any other hipbasers crave more music?

I love this song so much. One of my all time favourites. Three things:

Does anybody know what's it's about? I mean, I doubt it's literally a day in the life of a penguin. It must represent something. Has anyone ever heard anything about it?

Also, I can't stop listening to the demo version on the Phantom Power demos. I think this version is better than the album version...I really, really wished they'd left that bridge in there! Something about it just seems to fit so perfectly in the song. Does anyone else prefer one version or the other?

And thirdly...are these the lyrics to the unreleased bridge? I did it by ear and this is the closest I can come:
...And be tossed up and washed up
Naked on the beach
And find you one like the sun,
Accessible and hard to beat
