oops

anyone hear of any dates?
anyone ?
come on mav!!!

leak some good news

oops

I heard today were Shania Twain carried the Olympic Torch. I am sure there are many canadian celebs that are running a portion of the relay...just thought it would be totally cool if Canada's Band-The Hip got in on the action... I personally think its kind of a cool thing :jump (im trying not to diss Shania here).... AND.... certainlly the Hip should be performing at some point during the event....

Does anyone know of any online resources for Hip sheet music? I can only find one song available anywhere, and that's Grace, Too. I got that one and I've pretty much mastered it, and now I'd like to add a few more Hip tunes to my repitoire. There are a lot of sites with guitar tabs, but I don't play the guitar.

01 'Use It Up'
02 Throwing Off Glass~
03 Ultra Mundane*#
04 A Beautiful Thing#
05 Are You Ready#
06 Leave#
07 Problem Bears*#
08 Silver Jet**
09 'It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken'**~
10 Forest Edge*#
11 The Dire Wolf~
12 All Tore Up#
13 The Darkest One**#
14 The Dark Canuck~
*=bonus tracks
**=album singles
~=songs played live in 2009
#=songs rarely played live, if at all

All Hipsters please unite in praising this groovey, ecclectic masterwork! It gets better with every listen!

It played on Galaxy the other day. Can't recall who covered it but sounded pretty cool. Rock version.

Anyony hear it?

Popped FC into my CD player the other day for the first time in a long time. It was interesting listening to this album after only hearing live versions of these songs for so long. Although this album has really great songs on it, and was the album that got me addicted to the band, I really don't think it's a great "album". I find the production really hinders the songs and sucks the life out of them. After listenting to LFTV, Live Between Us, and 17 concerts, hearing the album versions of tunes like Locked and Werewithal is a real let down. I know the band wasn't happy with the final product, and listening to it again I can see why; in some ways it doesn't really sound like the Hip. It's hard to describe, but when I listen to non-album versions of the songs I like them a lot more.

Soundgarden Reunion Is Official: “School Is Back in Session,” Writes Chris Cornell
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.rollingstone.com">http://www.rollingstone.com</a><!-- m -->



Soundgarden fans woke up to incredible news this New Year’s morning: the band, which split in 1997, is officially reuniting. Frontman Chris Cornell confirmed the reconciliation via Twitter, writing, “The 12 year break is over & school is back in session. Sign up now. Knights of the Soundtable ride again!” and linking to a new Website, Soundgarden World. As of now, the site only offers fans a place to provide their contact information for updates on the reunion.

Cornell and other members of Soundgarden spent most of 2009 hinting that the long-awaited reformation was on the way. In March, all of the band but Cornell rocked together onstage during a Seattle stop on Tom Morello’s Justice Tour. As Rolling Stone reported, Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd and Matt Cameron were joined by Tad’s Tad Doyle for a run-through of “Nothing to Say,” “Spoonman” and “Hunted Down.” The following month, Cornell told a reporter, “If I was there, I probably would’ve gotten up onstage.” As for reunion prospects, he added, “You never know.” Thayil revealed the genesis of that special set in an exclusive Rolling Stone interview, where he said, “It was a blast. Playing with Ben and Matt carried a lot of sentimental weight.”

In July, Cornell revealed to RS that the band was talking about putting together a release of Soundgarden B sides and a box set of unreleased songs. “We all feel it’s time to do that, and we have a lot of fans out there, and we have a lot of new fans discovering our music, and I think the catalog and the legacy of the band has been ignored by the record label and previous management, so we decided to get together, and start working towards putting something like that out,” he said.

And in October, Cornell was clearly in the Seattle-legends-of-the-’90s spirit when he participated in a Temple of the Dog reunion at Pearl Jam’s Los Angeles gig. He joined the band for a rendition of their 1991 hit “Hunger Strike,” and RS learned Thayil and Shepherd were in the house to check out Cornell back onstage with drummer Cameron. As of now, it’s unclear how Cameron’s duties in Pearl Jam will be affected by the Soundgarden news.

All-Canadian Playlist 2009
Start stuffin' that iPod! Music critic Ben Rayner serves up some of the homegrown songs that moved 'em most in '09.

1. Dog Day, "Rome" Heart-melter of the year, graced by a gorgeous vocal from bassist Nancy Urich.

2. Think About Life, "Sweet Sixteen" A glorious, life-affirming dance party.

3. Handsome Furs, "I'm Confused" Tasty bop-`n'-grind from the sexiest couple in rock.

4. Tegan & Sara, "The Cure" The Robert Smith homage of the year.

5. Joel Plaskett, "Through & Through & Through" Westerberg-ian pop perfection.

6. Lucie Idlout, "Whiskey Breath" This is one rock chick you don't wanna mess with.

7. Die Mannequin, "Start It Up" Care Failure is another rock chick you don't wanna mess with.

8. Great Lake Swimmers, "Stealing Tomorrow" Tony Dekker has never captured the sound of sadness so exquisitely.

9. Cuff the Duke, "Listen To Your Heart" Ladies and gentlemen, the new Blue Rodeo.

10. Japandroids, "Young Hearts Spark Fire" "I don't wanna worry about dying / No, I just wanna worry about those sunshine girls." Anthemic angst about ageing.

11. The Tragically Hip, "Coffee Girl" Up there with the band's best songs, even if almost no one guesses it's the Hip on first listen.

12. Metric, "Satellite Mind" Only Emily Haines can pull off "embittered" and "vulnerable" at the same time this well. Taut and rockin'.

13. K'Naan, "America" Slinky Afro-rap fusion that makes you wonder why all of Troubadour didn't make musical reference to K'Naan's Somali upbringing this explicitly.

14. D-Sisive, "High School Cool" Take that, hip-hop bottom feeders! Ripping.

15. Thunderheist, "The Party After" "Where the after-party at, bitch?"
