Interesting new Sun article/interview w Rob


"Here’s what’s up with the rest of The Hip, who Baker said were halfway through a new album at the time of Downie’s death and also have a double album's worth of unreleased material".

The instrumentation is just as important as the lyrics.

Would love to see the surviving four tour as an instrumental unit and let the fans belt out the lyrics.

Patrick & Mike sat down with Tom Powers to talk about their brother.

Listening to the radio driving into work this morning, they were talking with that Hollywood reporter/rumour guy (can't remember his name). Anyways, he said rumour is already going around about making a movie of Gord's life, apparently there are talks of casting both a younger and older actor for different stages in his life.

Not sure how true it will end up being, but even if its not, that's a bit of an interesting question. I don't know who would be a good fit if they ever did it? Maybe its because they were in One Week together, but I could see Joshua Jackson not being a bad fit for the older Gord.

Who knows the truth behind it, just thought it was an interesting question on who would be a good fit to play Gord.

Here's a short conversation with Rob, had on Tuesday afternoon. He mentions that the Hip have a double album worth of unreleased material.
