It's a sweet blend when Dallas Green's voice dances with Gord's. Here's a neat little behind the scenes vid. Unfortunately, we don't see Gord sing, but we do see him in a very cool Return of the Jedi tee shirt.

I caught wind of this new release because one of the tracks Doyle covers is The Tragically Hip's "Bobcaygeon", one of my favourite songs from my favourite band. You can hear it right here where Damhnait Doyle is streaming her entire album.

It's worth a visit just to hear her covers of other awesome songs, like Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart", The Clash's "Train in Vein" and Foo Fighter's "Everlong".

City And Colour - Sleeping Sickness
I just got the new City and Colour album yesterday, but I've been spinning "Sleeping Sickness" for weeks. This track features guest vocals from The Tragically Hip's Gord Downie. Dallas Green and Gord Downie kill on this sweet little ditty.

Yes, I'm biased, but you are in Toronto Mike bias-ville.

You can listen to this song and the rest of the new City and Colour album Bring Me Your Love on the City and Colour MySpace page.

It's too bad we can't embed the MySpace player. Rupert, if you're out there, that would be neat-o.

Some guessed it was the Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver but that wasn't it. Then some thought it might be the suspension bridge at Scenic Caves in Collingwood, Ontario, but that wasn't it either. Now, almost a year later, we have an answer. This comment was left on my Flickr account.

Hello Mike,

You won't need a passport to visit this suspension bridge! The bridge in the video is the Buntzen Lake suspension bridge near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Of course you can just search "buntzen lake suspension bridge" on "everyone's photos".

While I haven't been to that one yet - I have been to 696 other suspension bridges. It's a hobby of mine; as a quick view of my postings to Flickr will attest. I've been to BC to visit suspension bridges, but just didn't get to Vancouver.

I first became aware of your request for this bridge's location through your Toronto Mike blog, but ended up here on Flickr which I'm very familiar with.

Best regards,
Patrick

So there you have it. If you want to see the bridge below, head to Buntzen Lake. Thanks, Patrick!

I'm most interested in hearing "Sleeping Sickness". "Sleeping Sickness" features guest vocals by none other than Gord Downie from The Tragically Hip. The first person to score me a listen wins a Coke.

The Tragically Hip are in Colorado playing small clubs with Joel Plaskett Emergency opening and here's the little write up they got.

Tonight: 'world’s tallest midgets’

By Aspen Times Staff
Aspen, CO Colorado
October 15, 2007

ASPEN — It’s a big-name rock band headlining at Belly Up Aspen on Monday. Tragically, The Hip probably doesn’t ring a bell.

The Tragically Hip, better known simply as The Hip to their fans, are hugely popular north of the border, but the Canadian quintet has never hit mainstream success in the States. Consequently, a band that plays sold-out arena shows at home, judging from several web bios, appears in smaller venues and clubs below the boarder. The band heads from Aspen to the Boulder Theatre on Tuesday before turning south for dates in Texas and New Orleans.

Drummer Johnny Fay reportedly once quipped that being the biggest band in Canada is “like being the world’s tallest midgets.”

The heights of their U.S. success not withstanding, these guys were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2005. They’ve got some 10 studio albums, a couple of compilations and a box set to their credit since emerging from Kingston, Ontario in 1983.

Their latest, “World Container” was released in Canada late last year and in March in the United States. The third track “In View” quickly charted in Canada — the latest in a long string of homeland hits for the band.

When the group played Halifax, Nova Scotia last month, reviewer Stephen Cooke of The Chronicle Herald in Halifax, wrote: “Few Canadian bands thrive in the bloodstreams of their listeners like The Tragically Hip.”

The band’s current lineup features Rob Baker on lead guitar, Gordon Downie on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, drummer Fay, Paul Langlois handling rhythm guitar and backing vocals, and Gord Sinclair on bass and backing vocals.

Opening for The Hip is up-and-coming Canadian singer/songwriter Joel Plaskett and his band, Emergency, touring in support of their 2007 release, “Ashtray Rock.”

The band is dubbed Joel Plaskett Emergency; Plaskett has several East Coast Music Awards to his credit in Canada, including male artist of the year, single of the year and songwriter of the year.

Tickets to Monday’s Belly Up show are $40. The music starts at 10 p.m., after Monday Night Football (the Giants at Atlanta) on the club’s big screen. Doors open at 6 p.m. for the football (no cover until the music). 450 S. Galena St.

I've always liked this haunting reworking of the tune and meant to share this video some time ago.

Here, in chronological order, is every Tragically Hip video. For more on The Hip, visit my Tragically Hip page.

Let me know in the comments if the order is wrong. I did it from memory. Also, if I missed a video, let me know that as well.

What's your favorite music?

I play the Tragically Hip song "New Orleans is Sinking" when I bat at Jingu. I tried to get them to play a different Hip song for every at-bat but that was a little too complicated, we over-loaded somebody, so now we just get one song.

The Yakult Swallows actually play out of Tokyo. They're named after the Yakult Corporation. If you're in Tokyo, you know where to go to hear some Hip.

The article includes a great quote from Gord Downie regarding the effect downloading has had on the music business.

I’ve always felt that rock ’n’ roll is just melodious air. I get perplexed when music gets blunted at the border by some artificial demarcation line—whether a corporate border or a technological one. Music, or any kind of art, is like water, and it needs to be able to find its way. Fifteen years ago, we would have needed a licensing deal, some kind of emissary to chaperone our music into the same kinds of places that it’s getting to naturally these days. It’s fluid; it’s just doing what it should be doing.

Amen.

Is it any of these?

Below is a picture of the Capilano Suspension Bridge and beside it is a screen cap from the "Yer Not the Ocean" video. As you'll see, they're two different bridges.

Unfortunately, Ontario tourism wasn't clever enough to post their "There's No Place Like This" ad on YouTube so I can't share it, but if you've seen it you'll have seen a suspension bridge that might just be the one in the Hip video. If you know where this bridge is, let me know in the comments.

Speaking of Ocean songs and videos, Pearl Jam's "Oceans" is still awesome. Here's the video.

Can anyone tell me what park Gord and that polar bear are in? Where would I find that bridge?
