A conspicuous silence from the National Capital Commission regarding the musical festivities on Parliament Hill on July 1.
An about-face from the CBC on airing That Night in Kingston, which now goes again exactly a week prior to July 1.
A silence since the start of the MMP tour from the band regarding what - if anything - is next...
Count me among the hopeful.

i am planning our family vacation to great wolf lodge in fitchburg and we want to spend a couple of days in boston, but i am lost. ideally we would stay outside of the city and take the train in but of man, it looks confusing. can anyone help me?

I am the hot mic, I pick up asides of Donald, The Tyrant

(once you hear, you can't unhear)

It is kind of crazy how this song is called Hot Mic, does say 'Dawn' The Tyrant, and was out prior to the Donald gettin' Hot Mic'd on pussy grabbin'.... just sayin..
But also.

What an amazing tune on the dark end of an unintentionally dark album.

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://open.spotify.com/track/3LFZACArTI25DDSgxSu6mb">https://open.spotify.com/track/3LFZACArTI25DDSgxSu6mb</a><!-- m -->

Any one else here got some Hot Mic love?

Love the lyrics


I am the hot mic, I pick up asides, of the modern tyrant
"…laws of the shadows, colours of justice",
I don't know what it meant
How patriotism is now enough and it's powerful stuff

Can we get it quiet enough? In here,
I can hear god, the cat's paws cross the keys,
Or the wish tomorrow is,
but a whisper from your lips and I fall to my knees

I am the hot mic, the war room is dead, janitors move in
Talking of their dark doors, their enchanted paths,
I don't know what they meant
How with something to fall back on, yea, people usually do
Hit the lights! Kill the room!

Can we get it quiet enough? In here,
I can hear god, cat paws along the keys,
And the wish tomorrow is,
but a whisper from your lips and I fall to my knees.

I'm not afraid of convincingness,
m just uncertain for sure
I'm in awe of no one, I'm made for this,
teach me what to want.

I am the hot mic, I pick up asides of Dawn, The Tyrant
He's coming from the shadows, feeling being seen,
I don't know what he meant
I don't guess, I listen. It's more than enough.
It's powerful stuff

Can we get it quiet enough in here?
So I can hear god - a cat walk cross the keys
And hit notes so lonely it's one whisper from your lips and I fall to my knees

I'm not afraid of convincingness,
I'm just uncertain for sure
I'm in awe of no one, I'm made for this,
teach me what to want.
And though I'm not yet earnest enough,
not unblinkingly sincere
I'm over here
I overhear you
And I always hear you

Any idea where i can get one of these shy guy patches in black and yellow stitching?
If not, does anyone have some spare time to mock one up in MS Paint in a 4" x 4" file?

RIP Chris Cornell.

Just gutted by this, such an incredible talent.

39 years ago, in May 1978, the Eagles played the writers and editors of Rolling Stone magazine in a softball game in Los Angeles. The game was the culmination of a spat that was started by RS editor Charles M. Young when he called out the Eagles in the pages of the Random Notes section of RS. RS founder Jann Wenner and Eagles manager Irving Azoff also “engaged in hours of long distance shouting matches” leading up to the game, according to Don Henley and Glen Frey.

The day of the game Irving Azoff showed up wearing a jersey that read “Is Jann Wenner Tragically Hip?” In a summary of the game (won 15-8 by the Eagles) written by Henley and Frey and published in RS a month later in June 1978, they discuss the crowd at the game: “The Eagles bleachers were filled to capacity with the likes of Joni Mitchell…, Donald Fagen, Chevy Chase, etc, while the RS bleachers were relatively empty except for Daryl Hall and a collection of cute, young cheerleaders from Hollywood High, yet another tragically hip move by RS.”

I’m unsure of how common a phrase “tragically hip” was in the 1970’s, but these are two early mentions by the Eagles. As most everyone knows there have been two explanations put forth for the origin of the band name “The Tragically Hip”. By far the most common is from the Michael Nesmith video compilation “Elephant Parts”. Interestingly the one minute skit “The Tragically Hip”, which was later included in the video compilation, first aired on Saturday Night Live on January 17, 1981 as a pre-taped segment (Cheap Trick was the musical guest that night). I wonder if a band member was actually watching that night and picked up on the phrase then or whether one of them later owned a copy of the Michael Nesmith video.

Gord Downie is on record in an October 1989 interview as stating the Nesmith skit as the origin of the band name but he also mentions it being a phrase in an Elvis Costello song. The song is “Town Cryer” and the lyric is “Other boys use the splendor of their trembling lip, They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip”. This song was released in 1982.

I wonder whether the legendary story of the Eagles vs. RS softball game and Irv Azoff’s jersey, or the subsequent write-up by Henley and Frey in RS inspired Nesmith to base a skit on the phrase. Were the Eagles the first to use “Tragically Hip” in a highly publicized manner or was it not an uncommon phrase? I’ve never really heard or seen it being used anywhere else. Regardless, when you really think about it, it is a great pithy phrase.

So excited to see these coming to vinyl following the reissue of DFN, TATH and LBU.

2LP's for PP and M@W and single for IVL. All remastered for vinyl by Bob Ludwig as with the last three.

Hey everyone. Looking for more information about this jacket. Seems unique and I'm curious to know more about it.

Just came across this fantastic article from No Depression, written in 2015 just after the release of Isbell's 5th album Something More Than Free. It basically covers his entire life story, including his 5 year stint with Drive-By Truckers, his bout with alcoholism, and his subsequent sobriety and solo career. It's an excellent read. I had no idea that Ryan Adams was one of the key people who helped him get sober.
