Anybody else into these guys?? This album kind of slipped under the radar. I didn't even know they had a new record out until somebody mentioned it over at the Pearl Jam forum the other day. So I picked it up this morning, and it's a fantastic album. Probably the best thing they've done since the early 90s. I've always been a fan of David Lowery's songwriting, and their albums are always top notch. It's a shame they're so underrated. I remember them opening a string of shows for the Hip during the U.S. leg of the Phantom Power tour back in '98, and I thought to myself, "shouldn't it be the other way around?" I could've sworn Cracker were bigger than the Hip in America. I guess I was wrong.

Anyone alse pick one up at the show. I bought the bird one, I wish I had of gotten the snake one too, hopefully they'll be for sale on maple music sometime in the future. I'll post a pic of it for those who havent seen it later. Both designs are really cool, another good job by Will Ruocco.

I bought 10,000 days after hearing people say such good things about it, and I am now wondering what is a good next album to go for.

Anyone out ther like to recommend something?

Cheers

Okay, it used to be that you were not allowed to bring in any recording devices to any live concert - cameras, video cameras, taping devices, etc. It was always written right on the ticket.

Why then, all of a sudden is it allowed? Is it a fairly recent thing? Is it just the Hip that do it? Is it only allowed in outdoor venues and not in theatres/arenas?

Also, does the band not lose out on sales this way by allowing people to record their shows?

I wasn't really aware that taping at concerts occurred (legally). So to the guy I was standing beside while I was singing on Saturday night (who I assume now, was taping the show), I'm really, really sorry! :oops: Don't worry, I wasn't that loud. I'm a crappy singer and didn't want anyone to hear.

Thanks!

Here you all go.

This isn't another favourite lyric post, because that's been done, but I can't recall something like this, at least in my two years here.

As I said in the 06-24-06 review, the Hip playing Sherpa was really special for me, as it is the song I connect with most, especially the line: "You said 'we must be friends or die'/And we've died a thousand times since then."

Something about it just speaks to my (on-going, I guess) adolescence, and strikes a chord that no other line does.

So does anybody else have one line that turns them to inward thoughts, maybe more than any other? Just curious.

So.....who is in?
4 of us are heading up from Windsor.

Anyone interested in compiling an all encompassing alphabetical songlist that includes all demos/compilation/studio tracks for those of us who are completists?
