I don't know if you guys are aware of the Scott Pilgrim Versus the World movie that came out a while back, but it's based on a comic book of the same name. I was just reading one of the books the other day, and in it Scott and his friends are hanging out and listening to a Gord solo album, and talking about how he is a "sweet genius". Based on the timing of when the book was published, I think they're talking about Coke Machine Glow. It's a good series, by the way, and set in Toronto, with lots of Canadian references. Just thought I'd mention it.

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.cbc.ca/doczone/episode/life-is-a-highway.html">http://www.cbc.ca/doczone/episode/life- ... ghway.html</a><!-- m -->

It was the decade marked by hit songs from Canadian performers as diverse as Tom Cochrane, Sloan, Loreena McKennitt, The Tragically Hip, Shania Twain, Blue Rodeo, Céline Dion, Moxy Früvous, Barenaked Ladies, Great Big Sea, Jann Arden…the list of great performers and their classic songs goes on and on! It was the 1990s, and it’s celebrated in the new, two-part documentary LIFE IS A HIGHWAY: Canadian Pop Music in the ’90s.

The ’90s were boom years in Canadian music, with record-breaking sales and more international success stories than ever before. LIFE IS A HIGHWAY looks at this explosive period, when Canada’s superstar divas and rock gods shared the charts with DIY indie bands, Celtic virtuosos, worldbeat ensembles and hip-hop heroes. For the sheer variety of different types of pop music exploding onto the music scene from coast to coast to coast, the 1990s was an unparalleled decade.

Featuring thrilling performance footage and candid interviews with such major stars as Sarah McLachlan, Tom Cochrane, kd lang, Barenaked Ladies, Jann Arden and The Tragically Hip, as well as alternative music groups like Rheostatics, Sloan and Dream Warriors, LIFE IS A HIGHWAY explores this hit-laden era in Canadian music. The two-hour documentary presents over 40 of the decade’s most unforgettable songs, from Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know” and Shania Twain’s “Any Man of Mine” to Snow’s “Informer” and Bran Van 3000’s “Drinking in L.A.”

Other performers taking a star turn in the specials include Bryan Adams, Crash Test Dummies, Lhasa, Ron Sexsmith, Les Colocs, Jean Leloup, Ashley MacIsaac, Rascalz, Spirit of the West, The Rankin Family, Natalie MacMaster & Jesse Cook, The Doughboys, The Odds, Bass is Base, Choclair, La Bottine Souriante, Big Sugar, The Tea Party, and Our Lady Peace.

LIFE IS A HIGHWAY is the latest installment in the critically-acclaimed series from the same team that brought you the specials Shakin’ All Over, This Beat Goes On and Rise Up, chronicling Canadian pop music in, respectively, the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s.

Narrated by Jian Ghomeshi

As with the previous episodes of this decade-by-decade music documentary series, the film showcases not only the Canadian music of the decade, but includes interviews with artists of the ’90s and those who followed them - all sharing personal observations about influential musicians and their songs.

LIFE IS A HIGHWAY covers the time when Canadian music, in all its ragged glory, truly came of age.

Hosted and narrated once again by Jian Ghomeshi (who also appears in this installment performing with his own band, Moxy Früvous), LIFE IS A HIGHWAY is directed Gary McGroarty and written by Nicholas Jennings. Producers are Gary McGroarty, Nicholas Jennings, Luc Châtelain and Nick Orchard. Executive producers are Nick Orchard and Luc Châtelain.

I have a question for the hipbase faithful after almost 10 years.

What do want to see the direction the hipbase should take?

Eg. Continue the course and be a forum only site (move to a new forum type).

Guest bloggers maybe? Focus on other great Canadian band but still keeping the roots of the hip?

Not sure what everyone wants to do?

Hey everyone,

It's that time of year where hockey is just around the corner. If there's one thing a plurality of folks in here can agree upon, it's our affection for both the greatest band on the planet and the greatest game played up on it.

The Hip League is a Yahoo! Sports fantasy hockey league now in its fifth year! We're excited to welcome back many manager who have been with us from the beginning, but we're currently looking to fill a few vacant teams.

Since space is very limited, please send me your email address and I'll forward along a custom invitation to join.

Thanks!

I'll leave you with a tour poster from 02:

Pearl Jam's 'Jimmy Fallon' Debut Will Be Twice as Nice

"Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" has a double Pearl Jam treat in store in early September. As part of its ongoing twentieth anniversary celebration, the Seattle band will be the musical guest on the NBC show on both Sept. 8 and Sept. 9. In addition, Cameron Crowe -- who directed the "Pearl Jam Twenty" documentary due next month -- will also be on the show on Sept. 8.



Pearl Jam, U2 Movies Get Toronto Film Fest Premieres



Pearl Jam and Crowe's upcoming appearance on "Late Night," tweeted by Fallon himself today, follows on the heels of the group's "Pearl Jam Twenty" festival Sept. 3-4 in Wisconsin and the kick-off of its Canadian tour Sept. 7 in Montreal. After "Fallon," the band and the director are reportedly headed north for the premiere of the "Pearl Jam Twenty" documentary on Sept. 10 at the Toronto International Film Festival.



The pair of September appearances marks the first time Pearl Jam has appeared on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," however guitarist Mike McCready has previously sat in with house band The Roots, guitarist Stone Gossard has previously performed on the show with his other band Brad, and McCready and bassist Jeff Ament have performed with their side project Tres Mts.



In other "Late Night" news, Fallon also tweeted today that he'll be hosting "Saturday Night Live" on Dec. 17th, with musical guest Michael Bublé. Former "SNL" castmember Fallon has repeatedly returned for guest appearances, but he has never previously hosted the show.
