Sorry if this has already been brought up, but does anyone know the circumstances behind the Odeon Concert club in Cleveland shutting down?

While doing some snooping around for concert dates, I found out that it apparently ceased operations almost a year ago.

I saw two Hip shows there in 1995 and 1996, and will go down as two of the best road shows I've seen. (Also ran into Rob Baker in an art shop in the big Cleveland mall there)....

It's location in the Flats was ideal for the post-concert celebration!

I was looking forward to going there again on the '06 WC tour -- oh well.

Any info would be appreciated. And hell, if you have any great live stories there, I'd love to hear them!

anybody see this yet on the comedy network? so far there's only 6 episodes not sure if it'll be picked up for more, sounds hilarious have yet to see an episode but Sss from hipbase is coming thru with the good ol' fashioned vhs tapes!!!

i met one of the hosts in st.john's last september, really nice guy, i *think* the repeats on tonight (not sure i dont get the comedy network)

more info here : <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thecomedynetwork.ca/servlet/an/comedy/2/20051017/TCN_Shows_GeorgeStTV/?hub=ComedyAllPrograms">http://www.thecomedynetwork.ca/servlet/ ... llPrograms</a><!-- m -->

there's also a few clips on youtube

I was wondering if anyone knew if the hip are doing a national radio premier of thier new album? I haven't heard anything on the radio for it. Just wondering if i might have missed it. Thanks

Got an e-mail from this very nice Hip Head regarding the "places" index on my site. He's using it to compile a Google Earth file of the lyrical places of The Tragically Hip, which locates various Hip songs according to their geographical lyrics.

If any of you with computer skills want to help the guy, he sent me this link:

Since the In View thread is filling up big time with hugely varied opinions, lets find out the percentages.

Yeah, I know it's weird, but hear me out. Fellow 'baser screwy and I were chatting on AIM while listening to In View for the umpteenth time, argue it's good points and bad. We couldn't shake the feeling that despite the overly simplistic lyrics, there was some deeper meaning the song we were failing to find. Suddenly, looking over the lyrics, it all made sense. "In View" is a song about God.

"I've been meaning to call you" - A believer who's backsliding, not in a relationship with God (the 'calling' could refer to praying, for example)

but God keeps sending him signs and trying to get back with him - "phone rings once, phone rings twice, phone rings three times"

"I am of you, And you are in everything I do" - Gord is part of God's creation, and it's evident in everything he does.

"I trust you/And that makes you true/I don't care if/It isn't the way it is" - This is a bit scary. Is Gord saying that no matter what the evidence, he has blind faith in Christianity?

Anyway, this is what we came up with when mining for meaning in this song. What followed was a big series of jokes about rewriting Hip lyrics to be about Jesus, examples of which can be posted. Are we barking up the wrong tree here, because this almost makes too much sense. Has Gord found God?

the new one where that fat fuck is on a date with that annoying chick, and they end up going to A & W after they've already eaten, and he ends up with it all over his friggin face...FUCK!!!! THEY GET WORSE WITH EVERY NEW ONE!!!!

Stupid question that probably doesn't deserve it's own thread, but thehip.com says that "It will be released in Canada on Tuesday October 17th." There is a U.S. release date, or am I going to have to import this?

Enjoy!
