Match-up #54 - Emperor Penguin Vs. Cordelia
I ask you to 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.

Match-up #53 - Grace, Too Vs. So Hard Done By
I ask you to 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.

Ron Hawkins - Chemical Sounds
Friday June 29th
C.D. release show at the Rivoli that night
8) :thumb:

They're opening the upcoming show in Indy which I will be attending. Does anyone know anything about this band? What's their sound? What's their story?

As somewhat of a Hip newbie, I'd like to know if anyone is aware of any books that have been written about the band (I'm pretty sure the answer is "no," since I have not been able to find anything after a fairly exhaustive search).

For a band that has been together for nearly a quarter century and are a national institution in their homeland, I'm really surprised that someone hasn't at least approached the Hip about writing a book. I'd think they'd be a perfect candidate for a large format (i.e. coffee table sized), fully illustrated biography similar to the U2 book that was published in September 2006 ("U2 by U2"). Now, I do realized that the Hip's fame and popularity is nowhere near that of U2 (then again, U2 is arguably the most famous band in the world), but I'd think that a book like this would be a huge seller in Canada (and would probably sell reasonably well in U.S. markets like Michigan and New York state).

Since I first started listening to the Hip, and became increasingly obsessed with their music, I've read everything I've been able to get my hands on. I've been pretty frustrated with the lack of substantial articles and writings about the band (certainly in the U.S.). I'd love to read about how the guys met, how they formed the band, and stories about their early days on the road. (I'm sure they must have some really fascinating "Spinal Tap-ish" tales to tell). Plus, I'd love to know more about how their creative process has evolved in the time they've been together (i.e. songwriting and recording).

Sorry to have rambled on for so long. I'm just shooting this out there. Anyone feel inspired to write the great Tragically Hip biography?

Match-up #52 - Poets Vs. Escape Is At Hand For The Travellin' Man
I ask you to 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.

Does anyone have web site or contact info for Constantine?

Sometime last year I was listening to Johnny Cash's American recordings, and was wondering what would the Hip sound like if Cash stripped a TTH song down to his singer/songwriter style.

I started playing around with this, and finally this morning decided to record it to my computer to take a listen.

Hope this doesn't offend anyone.......

And now for the disclaimer:

I'm at the tail end of a cold, so my vocals stray a little here & there. I also can't pick a guitar. I like to play rhythm, full chords, but when it comes to hitting individual notes, I'm pretty lost. Maybe I'll take a guitar lesson sometime...

Anyway, enjoy! I'd love to hear what you think, as my usual audience only consists of my 1 1/2 year old daughter :thumb:

It's been offered on Red Mosquito (PJ trading site), so it's out there...keep an eye, and let's hope to see it here soon!!!
