Hey everyone,
I want to purchase the long time running movie poster, if there are any even out in the wild.

Has anyone seen anything anywhere about posters for the doc being sold?

... are good at baseball.

Carry on.

First new album of original material in 5 years, coming out on Oct. 20th. Produced by Michael Timmins. The first single and title track was inspired by Downie's Secret Path, which Josh Finlayson had a copy of long before it was released. The video just came out today. Great song!

From their press release:

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://starfishentertainment.com/skydiggers/">http://starfishentertainment.com/skydiggers/</a><!-- m -->

Quote:In a time of confusion, anger and division, the Skydiggers’ 9th studio album, Warmth of the Sun, arrives as an eloquent and vital plea for compassion, honesty, healing and reckoning with the truth, rendered in the group’s classic folk-rock style. A quarter of a century after their formation, the roots rock veterans are continuing to create and inspire with their unique blend of Canadiana.

With 38 Years Old the clear choice to be eliminated in Round 5, we are left with two songs to compete for the champion of Up To Here.

Eliminated in Round 1:
Another Midnight
Everytime You Go
Trickle Down

Eliminated in Round 2:
She Didn't Know
When the Weight Comes Down
I'll Believe in You (or I'll be Leaving You Tonight)

Eliminated in Round 3:
Boots or Hearts

Eliminated in Round 4:
Opiated

Eliminated in Round 5:
38 Years Old

Choose the song you think is the weakest on the album from the two remaining. After 48 hours, the song with the most votes will be eliminated and the remaining song will be declared the champion.

Happy voting!

Note - voting will end Friday at 8:11 Eastern.

These threads have been fun -- I'll move on to Road Apples, but feel free to jump back to the EP and UTH.

Released February 19, 1991
Recorded in New Orleans
Produced by Don Smith

Little Bones
Twist My Arm
Cordelia
The Luxury
Born in the Water
Long Time Running
Bring It All Back
Three Pistols
Fight
On the Verge
Fiddler's Green
The Last of the Unplucked Gems

If the leap from the EP to UTH was huge...they just kept leaping with Road Apples. This was the first album where I'd seen some shows from the previous tour, so some road tested songs or snippets I'd heard (likely more snippets of songs) came to light. The one thing I've always loved about this band is seeing a song develop from phrases or riffs heard on tour. Strangely, what I mostly remember is bits of Bring It All Back (I've been carving you phrase) which is a song that came and went quickly from set lists.

I listen to so much music on shuffle, I'd forgot how almost perfect this album is. It's maybe their most "rock" album for lack of a better word, possibly a reflection of playing bigger rooms and to bigger crowds. Seeing shows in this era, the audience changed significantly. It was funny to have Gord mention it last tour, but it really became a "rowdy guy" crowd and I saw a few shows with a large contingent of patched bikers in the crowd.

Biggest thing that strikes me with this album are the lyrics. UTH still has some remnants of song writing style from the EP (I'll call it by the book songwriting -- "I drank a bottle of Jack..."). If the timeline if true, Gord wrote all these lyrics. Song writing takes a leap forward, bit more abstract ("I'll drop a Caribou" is one of my favorite lines) vs. story telling. In a long list of great songs, Fiddler's Green ranks well up there -- saddest thing I've eve seen live was Gord singing at KRock (think it as the opening night of the rink show) with tears just pouring down his cheeks.

This was the album that made me realize, for better or worse, that seeing one show on a tour was not nearly enough. One that stands out was in Ottawa at the Congress Center, and it's never been properly listed on the show archive. It's not the NYE show, it may have been after that and listed as the Civic Center. The Waltons opened the show (I think The Skydiggers opened NYE).

Interesting with this album that they worked with Don Smith -- I think he and Bob Rock are the only producers who worked on consecutive albums?

We're down to three songs for Round 5:

Eliminated in Round 1:
Another Midnight
Everytime You Go
Trickle Down

Eliminated in Round 2:
She Didn't Know
When the Weight Comes Down
I'll Believe in You (or I'll be Leaving You Tonight)

Eliminated in Round 3:
Boots or Hearts

Eliminated in Round 4:
Opiated

Choose the song you think is the weakest on the album from those remaining. After 48 hours, the song with the most votes will be eliminated and we'll do the final round.

Happy voting!

Note - voting will end Wednesday at 7:35 Eastern.

On the Round 4; Boots or Hearts was the clear consensus for weakest of those remaining in Round 3 with Opiated and 38 Years Old going neck and neck for the second weakest song. Since they ended up tied, they will both carry forward into the next round.

Eliminated in Round 1:
Another Midnight
Everytime You Go
Trickle Down

Eliminated in Round 2:
She Didn't Know
When the Weight Comes Down
I'll Believe in You (or I'll be Leaving You Tonight)

Eliminated in Round 3:
Boots or Hearts

Choose the song you think is the weakest on the album from those remaining. After 48 hours, the song with the most votes will be eliminated and we'll do round 5.

Happy voting!

Note - voting will end Monday at 7:35 Eastern.

Shane

On the Round 3!

Eliminated in Round 1:
Another Midnight
Everytime You Go
Trickle Down

Eliminated in Round 2:
She Didn't Know
When the Weight Comes Down
I'll Believe in You (or I'll be Leaving You Tonight)

Again, choose the song you think is the weakest on the album from those remaining. After 48 hours, the two songs with the most votes will be eliminated and we'll do round four.

Happy voting!

Note - voting will end Saturday at 7:34 Eastern.

Shane

Here we go with Round 2!

Eliminated in Round 1:
Another Midnight
Everytime You Go
Trickle Down

Again, choose the song you think is the weakest on the album from those remaining. After 48 hours, the three songs with the most votes will be eliminated and we'll do round three.

Happy voting!

Note - voting will end Thursday at 7:34 Eastern.

When the summer is done and nobody sympathizes....

Hello Hipbase! We are back for September. We are starting a new edition of the club this September! For this edition, we are going backwards down the number line, and selecting a live show from each Hip record's ensuing tour.

This means, we are starting off by featuring a show from the Baby Blue album era, 1985-1988.

Hipbaser Britstones made this month's selection....

Quote:After searching through the Live Hip Archive I've settled on the Horseshoe Tavern show from July 15, '88.
I haven't taken the opportunity to go really listen to pre-Up To Here recordings until now.
This show has a great mix of EP tunes, pre-release Up To Here tunes, covers and unreleased songs.
The show is a longer one than some of those available and the sound is much better, to my ears, than what is described in the document detailing the show.
I am just settling in to listen to this show for the first time and so far I am really digging the energy and the setlist.
Early impressions;
Hailstone Hands of God features Robbie trying out playing styles that he would use to great effect on later songs eg. Fully Completely.
Rants are incorporated in cover tunes.
