Howdy. Bored again, so here's a few Hip questions to test your knowledge. Maybe if you seem to be enjoying it, I'll whip up 10 questions every week or something. Or if not, I'll just crawl back into my hole in the ground. Whichever. Have fun!

1) In 2000, Gord Downie said, "it's the most audacious thing we've ever done." What was he talking about?

2) The Tragically Hip have won one Juno for best single. For which song?

3) During the Live Downloads concert from London, Gord starts singing a little snippet of a Kinks song during Little Bones. Which song?

4) When Trouble at the Henhouse was released, some fans complained that there wasn't enough of something, prompting Downie to grumble that he didn't know there was a quota. What did the fans want more of?

5) A Rolling Stones headline infamously said you might like the Tragically Hip if you like which other band? Edit: Sorry, that should have said MTV.com headline.

6) During the Phantom Power tour, a Canadian city, led by a local DJ, enticed The Hip to play in their town, though it had originally not been part of the tour. Which city?

7) According to GD, Coconut Cream grew out of a riff by which band member?

8) The Hip once played a U.S. concert with a crowd roughly as big as the band. In which state?

9) Which two band members once appeared on the front of a golf magazine?

10) What is Wayne Gretzky's favourite Hip song?

Cheers,
John

for lonely design
the past is no place to

try, but I'll get my mind's armies moving at full-stride
singing in one voice, preoccupied
and with nothing to say, I'll sing it bright - that's right!

Pre-Chorus 3 (same as pre-chorus one and two)

how will I know?
how will I know if I'm helping?
moreso, how will she know if I'm helping?
if I’m not in the saddle, I'm nothing - that's right!

Chorus Two (same as Chorus One)

I am here
it's only me
I ain't freed nobody yet
it's just me
clearing spider-webs
I'm a listener, I'm no threat
I am here
failed and failing breath
I'm a listener, I'm no threat, no threat, no threat
I'm a watcher
I'm no threat
no threat

*Lead Guitar during Chorus Two is essentially the same as guitar one,
but periodically involves sliding to the higher octave of the root note...

i.e.
when Guitar one plays

E-----------------                                            E----------------
B-----------------                                            B----------------
G-----------------         Guitar two will either play        G---s12----s15---

I forgot to uncheck the "Keep iTUnes music organized" box and now my wonderful beautifully organzied music collection has been reorganized beyond repair. I am incredibly bitter about this, especially since I have been unable to restore my old system by any method I have tried.

Anyone out there know how to reset file organization? Even system restore wouldn't help me.

Looks like Van Halen maybe be next up for the reality show.. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2005/10/2003.cfm">http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2005/10/2003.cfm</a><!-- m --> They also mentioned Alice In Chains, but Jerry Cantrell "scoffed" at the notion, thankfully. I never watched one second of Rock Star: INXS, so I dont really care. But seeing some young rocker leading Van Halen on stage would be pretty funny to see. Anybody think of another group in need of a singer? The Tea Party just lost theirs, but I dont see that happening. I hope not anyway.

This song is immediately one of my favorites. Raw and rough. Hardcore with an F U feel.

Looks like it would be a pretty fun time, like ARA but on a boat, with great food. Wonder if there's a "smoking" area for the artists and their fans to get inspired before the midnight buffet...
