Listen to the two songs in the match-up Back to Back, and consider the lyrics of the song. Feel free to post an unbiased analysis of both songs in this thread, but please refrain from cheerleading or making predictions for your favourites.

  OttawaCitizen.Com- Hip to play for the Governer General

Tragically Hip to play for the Governer General
The Ottawa Citizen.Com
By Peter Simpson

Where, you Tragically Hip fans in the National Capital Region may be asking yourselves, can I next see my beloved band play live? Scotiabank Place? no. Bluesfest? No.

Though you can see the Hip play their annual Bluesfest gig in July, the NEXT time you can see them live is next Saturday night, May 3, in Southam Hall of the National Arts Centre. The Hip are among the recipients at the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards - the annual, black-tie hoohaw to honour some of the nation's great artists - and they will perform during the gala show.

This is uncommon. There's always one musical recipient each year, and usually they do not perform. Typically, another musician will perform one of the recipient's songs. For example, a few years ago k. d. lang was a recipient, and one of her songs was performed by a rising but still largely unknown singer named Feist. The only recipient I've seen perform during a GG gala was the Guess Who, who were honoured in the same year they reunited for a tour, and they were keen to get up and play. There was a false start, to accommodate the demands of the TV crews, but it was all good.

The only questions is, which song(s) will the Hip do? For the Hip fan, it's a bewildering choice - Last American Exit? Blow at High Dough? Wheat Kings? Grace, too? Little Bones? Locked in the Trunk of a Car? Any would do, but the Official Big Beat Choice for Which Song the Hip Should Play is 50 Mission Cap. Could a song be any more Canadian, any more quintessentially Hip? Furthermore, it rocks like stink.

Tix for the GG gala are available through ticketmaster.ca, or at the NAC box office.


Below, a taste of the Hip from way back.

Anyone here a fan of this show? Its a British sitcom and is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.. similar humour to the Office, but even better in my opinion. I've watched the first four seasons online and season 5 is supposed to start this week in Britain.

This website has a bunch of episodes for anyone wanting to check it out..

The Mudcrutch album was released today, and I had no idea.
I'm about to head over to HMV and pick up a copy, and I can't wait to hear it!

I'll let everyone know what I think after a listen.

Opie, you didn't remind me of this one! I thought that was your job!
