This is very profound and relevant, especially at this point in human history. Any other Sagan fans here on Hipbase?

I'll start with the editorial. Let's get the music flowing! I don't see very much activity in trading and BNPs. Isn't the purpose of this list to share the music? I'll put my money where my mouth is and reoffer the BNP I posted earlier, with disappointing results.

I posted a BNP offering for my little list and only received two responses. I'll open it back up for two more, each for up to two shows. If you want more we can trade, or if you want a bigger trade, I'm more than happy to do that to. All my music is SHN format and I only want concerts in SHN or FLAC format.

I'm fairly new to the list but reading over the old topics have seen some disturbing ideas concerning SHNs. Mainly they refer to converting SHNs in order to make an audio disc for someone. The main post that I read stated that "I convert SHNs to WAV to make a disc for someone, then when I convert them back, it adds the new files to the md5, so the md5 fails verification." This is not how you want to deal with your SHN files. Every time you convert to or from SHN it changes some of the information. The author of the above quote is right, the md5 will not be able to recognize your new files. Instead of converting back and forth, convert but leave your SHNs alone. MKW conversion tool has an option to convert SHN files to WAV without deleting the original SHN. Use the WAVes to create your audio CD, then delete them. Your SHNs, complete with md5, stay right where they are. Down the road, if anyone wants them, they are ready to go.

The main reason for the md5 files was to ensure that the files always stayed the same. Etree maintains a database of md5 files for seeded shows. You can download a concert from someone, then go get the md5 file from etree and make sure that it is the same quality and data that was originally seeded.

I have read people's posts saying that SHN and md5s are crap, but what is the goal here. The goal is to make sure that the music is available in the same quality ten, fifteen, twenty years from now. The alternative, ignore the quality, keep passing around copies of mp3, waves, etc, in twenty years there won't be a listenable copy of a Hip concert from 1992.

Just curious as the playoffs are around the corner who everyone will be cheering for?

Mine is the almighty Vancouver Canucks!!!!

Esus4 E Esus4 E
Writing a song about Lake Memphramagog
Esus4 E D A
And tonight I don't believe
Esus4 E Esus4 E
There are words to spare and be a tip and a nod
Esus4 E D
Admitting it's half the defeat

Esus4 E Esus4 E
Tonight, the non-essential worker
Esus4 E D A
Is hunting the problem bears
Esus4 E
One sounds cornered
Esus4 E
And one can go no further
Esus4 E D
It all sounds like it's happening upstairs

D E
Do you hear that?
A
Like dry leaves a-stragglin'
D A E
Or a guard dog's claws on cement
E A D
Or an idea that's getting more determined
D E A
To get where it's get-ting


This might be harder than keeping it simple, yeah
This could be simpler than keeping it real

Shakespeare, you're a drunken savage
You're a sobering green-eyed Voltaire
It almost sounds funny
Like two tough-talking bullies
Really going at it upstairs

This might be harder than keeping it simple, yeah
This could be simpler than keeping it real

Tonight, the non-essential worker
Takes on the green-eyed Voltaire
It won't go further than sounding just like murder
Then everything is quiet upstairs

Now do you hear that?
The song of Memphramagog
The shh's of this gentle lament
It's maybe a song that can't quite be determined
Till it gets where it's getting

E, F#, E, F#, E, B

D
'Do you mean the attack is routine?'
E B
A bird asked of a bird
D
'In this context, a concave nest,
E B
How do we learn to hurt?'

D, E, B

D
'Do you mean there's no variation?'
E B D
Watching a dog charge a flock of birds
Exploding in congregation
E B
'Why plan; when we stop?'

D
'I dunno... but why suppose
E B
It's not the way it should be?
D
When you can fly above
The great waiting list,'
E
As the crow implies,
B
'We won't be missed,
D E
We can leave.'

G, D, F#m, G

A
It's a routine flight for this bird tonight
There's more worms than earth in the afterlife
Where the blind feed the blind,
F#m G
Whispering things like 'On the money' and 'Bullseye'
A
She picks up the little leaves
Where human wrecks are left to seed
Left to repaint their deities
F#m G
And plaster away at their villainies

E B
Where there's love, there's hope
D
'And do you hope those earthbound poets
E B
Could learn to sing as good as us?
D E
So we can sit back and enjoy our illusions
B
And our quietus?'
D
'Well I don't know... but why suppose
E B
It's not the way it should be?
D
When you can squawk
And wait for word from above
E B
And change yourself into something you love
D E
When you leave?'

E
'Why is the world so creepy?' she asked
After a car full of haircuts drove past
B
A backseat full of 'the boys'
A
I told her that it isn't...
E B
That... that it's exquisite
A E
But like love, it has its barbarous threats

E
Still in spite of the cads
And the stoop-shouldered teens
I know I'm losing you
A
And I know what that means, yea

A G#m
I told her that it isn't
A
That it's real exquisite

But like love,
G#m E
It can have its stubbed-toe effects

C#m B
And just like after she heard
A
The word 'iridescent'
F#m E
And everything was iridescent for a while
C#m B
It wasn't long
A
Before she exalted out of nowhere,
A
'Isn't this exquisite?'

E
Once you've said 'mmm' in unison
And 'oh' in double surprise
And shared relief with a mutual 'phew'
B
And a look in each others' eyes
A
I tell her that it isn't
E B
Insisted that it isn't
B
Because like love
A E
It has too-cunning effects

B A
I told her that it isn't
E B
That it's just exquisite
Because like love
A E
It has its barbarous threats

E
'Why is the world so creepy?' she asked
After a car full of haircuts drove past
A backseat full of 'the boys'
Breaking glass
Throwing off glass

E D A E
Come in, come in, come in, come in
E D A E
From under these darling skies, come in
E D
It's warm and it's safe here
A E
And almost harkening
E D A
Off to a time and place now lost
E
On our imagination

A E
Where you don't complain -- but you still do
A E
And you don't explain -- if you want to -- explain
B A
What you believe you say without shame -- 'I just do'
C#m A
To say what you mean you don't mean what you say -- or you do?

B A
Where the wild are strong
C#m A
And the strong are the darkest ones
E B A
And you're the darkest one

Come in, come in, come in, come in
From thin and wicked prairie winds, come in
It's warm and it's safe here
And almost harkening
Here in a time and place not lost
On our imagination

Where you don't explain -- but you still do
And you can complain -- if you want to -- complain
Where you're real instrumental or supple or sexy as hell
Where you say 'I believe' or say without shame, 'I can tell'

Where the wild are strong
And the strong are the darkest ones
And you're the darkest one
O' and you're the darkest one
And if that's what you want
O' then you're the darkest one

G#m E
When the colour of the night
G#m E
And all the smoke for one life
C#m, F#
Gives way to shaky movements,
C#m
Improvisational skills,
E
A forest of whispering speakers
G#m
Let's swear that we will
E
Get with the times,
G#m
In a current health to stay
E
Let's get friendship right
C#m
Get life day-to-day
E
In the forget-yer-skates dream
B
Full of countervailing woes
F#
In diverse-as-ever scenes
E
Proceeding on a need-to-know
F#5 E
In a face so full of meaning
F#5 E
As to almost make it glow
E
O' for a good life,
F#5 E
We just might have to weaken

B
And find somewhere to go
E
Go somewhere we're needed
B
Find somewhere to grow
E
Grow somewhere we're needed
