This guy just picked up a Vintage Jukebox. I'd like to stuff it with a couple hip tunes if at all possible but I have never seen a TTH 45. Any help would be great!

God knows this one of the most discussed topics amongst hip fans... Personally, I'm not even going to touch on unreleased songs and songs off the EP, but your all welcome to include them.

TOP TEN LIST
1. Another Midnight
2. Bring It All Back
3. Opiated
4. Emperor Penguin
5. The New Maybe
6. The Bear
7. Fight
8. Inch an Hour
9. The Luxury
10. Toronto #4

There I did it ... Hardest thing I've ever done, sware to god... And I bet this list would fully change depending on the mood I'm in...

Psyched for the new album... I hope they plan on playing some more small venue gigs before they decide to launch a full scale album tour... 4 more shows at the Phoenix would really hit the spot ...

Just listened to this show on thehip.com ... WOW

Incredible recording... Amazing set list ... Not only is Gordie rambling like it was the early 90's, but the band sounds beautiful

Here's the only bad part - some how, this show has eluded me until now... I think I have downloaded 200 or so shows (im not at my external hard drive so I cant check) but I have never had a ton of shows from 2000 maybe only 10 or less...

Chris can we get this recording up the tracker - it's too good

Rock, rap and 150 million reasons to listen

VANCOUVER - Nine Inch Nails, the Tragically Hip, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Coldplay, Jay-Z. Put on one stage, the headlining acts at this weekend's Pemberton Festival have the kind of head-scratching incongruity you'd expect from one of those '80s all-star charity songs where the pouffy-haired pop diva trades lines with the grizzled country star before being joined in the chorus by the blues singer and the guy who sang the theme to Footloose.

Of course, these acts are playing separately, so there's no reason to fear We Are the World redux.

What all these Pemberton acts have in common, aside from the fact that they're all male, is that they've sold many, many records (or whatever they're now called in the age of digital downloading).

In fact, these five acts combined have moved more than 150 million albums.

No doubt each act has a sizable audience, but should we expect much overlap? After all, the starring cast spans several disparate subgenres of rock music and stretches into the rap world. Will Nine Inch Nails fans and Tom Petty fans get along at the campsite, much less watch the other band's sets?

Obviously, some fans will simply head to the beer gardens. But, for many others, the festival-going experience is as much about going outside one's musical comfort zone as it is about lining up to use a port-a-john.

One Pemberton headliner, Jay-Z, already has experience facing a wary crowd. When he was announced as the starring act at Glastonbury, a British rock festival, earlier this year, Noel Gallagher of Oasis echoed the opinion of many fans when he expressed his displeasure with the decision.

"I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury," he told a reporter. "It's wrong. Jay-Z's got no chance."

When Jay-Z finally stepped onstage at Glastonbury in June, he met the criticism head on. After a video with Gallagher's remarks were played, Jay-Z started his set with a tauntingly bad cover of Oasis's biggest song, Wonderwall, before segueing into one of his own hits, 99 Problems.

The rapper's warm reception - British music chain HMV reported a 500-per-cent increase in his record sales - proved Gallagher wrong.

Like Jay-Z, the other headliners performing at Pemberton can draw on previous experience in festival settings.

Friday night's top act, Nine Inch Nails, has played at Lollapalooza and the 1994 edition of Woodstock.

The industrial rock band from Ohio, featuring sole official member Trent Reznor and backing musicians, will be playing material from two full-length albums it released this year, Ghosts I-IV and The Slip. (Both were made available as free downloads from their official website, as well as physical CDs.) You can expect a visually dazzling stage presentation with elaborate lighting and video projections.

Since the Tragically Hip released its first full-length album, 1989's Up to Here, the Kingston, Ont., group, led by idiosyncratic singer Gord Downie, has become Canada's unofficial house band.

The Hip, who play second to last on Saturday, helped introduced the rock festival to Canadian audiences with Another Roadside Attraction, a series of cross-country summer concerts that ran from 1993 to 1997 and featured acts like Midnight Oil, Wilco and Ashley MacIsaac.

The band, which won the Governor General's Performing Arts Award earlier this year, is two years removed from its last album, World Container. Based on set lists from recent performances at festivals in Ottawa and Charlottetown, expect them to play old favourites like Courage, New Orleans Is Sinking and Ahead by a Century.

Saturday night's closing band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, probably won't be intimidated by the crowd at Pemberton. In February, these veteran rockers played on what's probably the biggest stage of all, the half-time show at Super Bowl XLII, which has an estimated worldwide viewership of a billion people.

Since that performance, Petty, a one-time Traveling Wilbury, has spent time supporting an album he recorded with Mudcrutch, the band he belonged to before he formed the Heartbreakers.

Look for Petty to sing hits that span his 30-year recording career, from American Girl, which appeared on the Heartbreakers' eponymous debut album in 1997, to Free Fallin', from his 1989 solo album, Full Moon Fever, to Last DJ from his band's most recent album of same name.

On Sunday, Jay-Z will perform with a live band, giving his music a rock edge geared to an outdoor venue. These days, Jay-Z's fame as a rapper might be eclipsed by his recent marriage to singer Beyonce Knowles and his success as a record executive, NBA owner and menswear designer.

Almost five years ago, the rapper actually declared his retirement from music with a show at Madison Square Garden. The Brooklyn-born performer has released two studio albums since his short-lived break, including a concept album named after and inspired by the 2007 film American Gangster.

But Jay-Z still seems able to deliver onstage. In a review of his Glastonbury performance, London Times reviewer Pete Paphides described a "seismic cheer" that followed a new verse in Blue Magic about George W. Bush, as an image of Barack Obama was projected onstage.

"For a second you could have sworn that the world had changed a little bit, just like it did after Bob Dylan went electric at Newport in 1965," he wrote. "Yes, it was really that thrilling."

Look for Jay-Z to win over rock fans this weekend.

The festival closes with Coldplay, a British band that specializes in swooning, emotive alternative rock that feels ready-made for movie soundtracks.

Like Jay-Z, lead singer Chris Martin's music career is sometimes overshadowed by a high-profile spouse - in Martin's case, actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

The band's fourth album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, was released last month and sold more than 300,000 copies in its first week in the U.K. alone.

The high-minded group (it has refused to license its music for commercials and has supported anti-poverty campaigns) will most likely mix tracks from its new album with big hits like Yellow, Fix You and The Scientist.

With more than 50 bands onstage over three days, there's something for every rock fan at the Pemberton Festival. There may also be something to irritate everyone. Some may use the weekend as an opportunity to broaden their music tastes. Of course, others may just skip seeing a headliner because lines for the port-a-johns are shorter.

  Rush Return To Television, Thanks To Stephen Colbert

Rush: great progressive synth-rock sci-fi band or the greatest progressive synth-rock sci-fi band of all time?
Brace yourself, folks. After more than 30 years without a television appearance, the boys are bringing ol' Tom Sawyer down from his landing for a live performance with Mr. Truthiness himself, Stephen Colbert. The two North American superpowers meet tonight (July 16) at 11:30 p.m. ET, when the members of Rush will yet again prove that they are Canada (and so can you).

While it may seem as though the pairing lacks congruity, one need only look to one of the 10,000 things named after Colbert in the last few years to see where the similarities begin. Colbert's namesake hockey team, the Saginaw Spirit, plays in the Ontario Hockey League. Rush is from Ontario. Lead vocalist Geddy Lee was once given the award for "Coolest Bass Line In A Song" by Bass Player magazine for his riff on "Malignant Narcissism," which could theoretically be the name of the eventual Stephen Colbert made-for-TV movie.

Tune in tonight as Rush gets back into the limelight. Catch the mystery, y'all.

Do a quick serach on Google News or any other engine and sift through the pages and pages of mind-numbing outcry over this lastest cover.

Then try to refrain from slapping -- or laughing -- yourself silly.

Just when you think the vacuous alarmists can't be any more daft, they find a way to miss that satirical B-52 that just flew right over their heads.

It's The New Yorker, folks. You know -- that left-leaning periodical that targets an audience with an IQ over.......... 45?

:nooooo

Somebody shoot me.

Outstanding album! Stylistically it's similar to "Boys & Girls in America", but that's not a bad thing. The guitars are big, the songs are ridiculously catchy, and Craig Finn's clever lyrics are once again the heart of the album. But this time out they've added some extra bells and whistles on a few tracks like horns, harpsichord (seriously), harmonica, extended piano and guitar solos, and even some guest vocals by Patterson Hood of Drive-By Truckers. Between this and the new Matt Mays album, I'd say we've got two of the best old-school balls-out rock albums I've heard in quite a while. This is great stuff.

  BNL singer Steven Page arrested in NY on drug charges

Okay, I haven't listened to BNL in years, but this news headline kind of shocked me.

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/080715/entertainment/music_page_arrested">http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/0807 ... e_arrested</a><!-- m -->

Quote:Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page has been charged in New York state with drug possession.

The bespectacled singer - whose clean-cut image and goofy sensibilities were behind such pop hits as "If I Had a $1,000,000" and "Be My Yoko Ono" - was charged last Friday with criminal possession of a controlled substance after police say cocaine and marijuana were found in an apartment in Fayetteville, N.Y.

Capt. Bill Bleyle of the nearby town of Manlius, N.Y., said Tuesday the 38-year-old Page was released Friday after paying $10,000 bail on the felony charge.

Bleyle said the arrest occurred at about 2 a.m. Friday after patrolling police noticed a suspicious car with its driver's side door left open and found a man and woman in a nearby apartment with a white capsule in front of them. Bleyle said the pair were later found to be in possession of cocaine.

"In the process of making the arrest, the girl he (Page) was with identified him as the lead singer for the group and he subsequently said, 'Yes, I play the guitar and sing,"' Bleyle said from Manlius, just outside Syracuse.

Stephanie Ford, 25, was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, as well as unlawful possession of marijuana.

Bleyle said Page posted the $5,000 bail for Ford.

Page's manager, Terry McBride, said from Vancouver that he wouldn't discuss the matter but was confident the popular frontman would be cleared.

"We cannot comment because the matter is before the courts but we are confident that our client Steven will be completely exonerated," McBride said.

"Until that time it's business as usual for the Barenaked Ladies.

Bleyle said a second woman, Christine Benedicto, 27, was charged later Friday with criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Page is to return to court July 17.

The Toronto-based Ladies, formed in 1988, recently released their debut kids CD "Snacktime."
