Hi - my first post in here, had collected a bunch of Hip stuff in the 90s, it has been gathering dust and now the divorce lawyer says she wants it dusted off and turned into money....
Sad story. Anyway, will take some photos and gather some descriptions and hop back in here next week. As a good Canuck, I would rather flip the stuff to an audience of like-minded fans rather than go the ebay route.
I haven't even looked at the stuff in years, but there were five LPs (I think 3 are sealed, can't recall which ones, pretty sure the debut and LBU are sealed, TAHH and UTH I recall were opened, I never played any of them); some 12-inch singles (BAHD for sure, can't remember others), CD radio sampler singles, some collector CD singles with special jackets like LITC, magazines with Hip/Gord on cover, a few mounted posters including a NYE 1999 poster autographed by the band; some concert ticket stubs and other knick-knacks.
Just a heads up for interested parties to check back in - I will drop in again next week.
Flake in Halifax

A great Canadian songwriter that wrote songs about every nook and cranny in this great land. I'll always remember reading about his defiance against the Juno's, returning every award explaining the trophies had nothing to do with Canadians singing about Canada, only about sales.

Does anybody have any useful info on this Montreal show? I can't even find pictures online from past concerts at this venue.

And the upgrade package, is it worth it?

AT Transformation poem?

What is fame? It is a magician’s trick, a particularly cunning fantasy that more often than not binds the famous person into a deeper level of ignorance. Fame means that some people think someone is more important or better than everyone else. How deeply we long to be viewed as important! Is this not a hungering for love? And how vitally important each of us is! But not for the reasons we typically assume.

Such a cheater fame is. We are famous, we think, because of something; because we make touchdowns, or sing well, or star in the movies. We are not famous in the eyes of the world because of our intrinsic inner worth, but because we do something well as compared with everyone else. When we no longer do that thing well, our fame vanishes like the mirage it is, leaving us with the memory of glory but nothing else. Enter here the various addictions of the world to dull the senses and help us to forget our lost moment in the Sun. Some despair of ever becoming famous and move straight into destructive habits. Or their desire to be unique and their desire to be recognized may cause them to attempt to be famous in the field of addictions.

The entire underlying belief system that cultures the desire to be unique, special, recognized or famous is twisted, not genuine. Many of us deeply crave to prove that we are the center of the Universe, that we are loved. But unfortunately, the proof that this is so can never come from the outside. Those who praise you today may well damn you tomorrow; if your happiness or sense of self worth is based on others’ opinions of you, your happiness will never last long. Nor will it ever be truly satisfying.

Every one of us already possesses the most miraculous attribute that can even be conceived -- everyone is a piece of the Infinite Source. There can be no greater claim to fame than this; no action in the world can be more laudable than this; no word or thought can be more significant or meaningful than this one fact. Since built into every one of us is the greatest of all possible Realities, how can anything external matter much? Human fame comes and goes with the seasons. It is never universal. No one is ever adored by all. Caesar was despised by many.

Lincoln did not win even half of his countrymen’s votes in his first presidential election; he was so intensely disliked by many that his election catalyzed the most destructive war in the history of this continent. Napoleon and Hitler, on the other hand, were adored by a majority of their people.

Human fame, based on the principles of separation and specialty, is a part of the human dream that is particularly vicious. If I am better than you, you are less than I. And therefore is my Universe diminished? The truth is that all are equally unique, equally special; all deserve the greatest praise and appreciation from all. The secret here is to learn to appreciate all others. Then you are honoring the part of them that is Ideal, the part of them that is identical to the best part of you.

Don’t let the surface appearance deceive you: the senses are the prime agents of the dream, they are deeply committed to its continuing indefinitely. Since they are acting in consonance with their nature, they cannot be blamed for this. The senses are devised to detect variation, contrast, difference; it is not surprising some colors, shapes, words and sounds seem more pleasing and beautiful than others. But this is not Reality.

But your crust is just incredible
The radio was edible

All I could make out
Was that poor girl saying,
"Qu'est-ce-que tu vas faire?"
"What are you gonna do?"
"Qu'est-ce-que tu vas faire?"
"What are you gonna do?"

Some of the Bluesfest acts have been announced with tickets on sale tomorrow. The Hip will be there on Thursday July 11th.

Some pretty good names announced, Rush, BB King, Zac Brown Band, Kenny Wayne Sheppard. Some other acts as well that make me wonder why they still call it a "blues" festival. Wu Tang?

Think I'll be grabbing an "any three day" wrist band for $99 and hitting up Rush, The Hip and Zac Brown myself.

Hey:
Not sure of how many Sam Roberts vinyl collectors are on hipbase but I figured I'd post this to hipbase before I go the ebay
route.

I am selling a 7-inch vinyl collectible that I purchase from awhile ago. I bought multiple copies at the time. I bought them
from the band member Mike Juretic. Sam "Galaxy" = Sam Roberts.

I am selling them for $20 each + shipping/postage. I have eight copies.
Payment by PayPal.

Mark
