I'm a big Gord Downie fan, and I was immediately intrigued when I heard he was guesting on the new City and Colour album.  Shortly thereafter I heard the song and loved it so much I had to share it with everybody. It's a sweet blend when Dallas Green's voice

Newfoundland and Labrador's Damhnait Doyle has released an album of interesting covers entitled Lights Down Low. 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

The new Dallas Green City and Colour album has a track called "Sleeping Sickness".   "Sleeping Sickness" features Gord Downie from The Tragically Hip. 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.

Last March I shared the video for The Tragically Hip's "Yer Not The Ocean" and asked if anyone knew where I could find the featured suspension bridge. Some guessed it was the Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver but that wasn't it.  Then some thought it might be the suspension

City And Colour, Dallas Green's solo project, is releasing a second album in February entitled Bring Me Your Love. 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

Johnny Fay, drummer for my favourite band of all-time, once famously quipped that being the biggest band in Canada is "like being the world's tallest midgets."  I always liked the quote, and I was pleased to see it in an Aspen Times News headline today. The Tragically Hip are in

For no particularly good reason other than the fact I feel like hearing the tune, here's The Tragically Hip's "Little Bones".

This Japan baseball update is about Aaron Guiel, a 34 year old from Vancouver Island.  He plays for the Yakult Swallows and is a fan favourite at Jingu Stadium.  He also loves The Tragically Hip. What's your favorite music?I play the Tragically Hip song "New Orleans is Sinking" when

New York Press has a neat article about The Tragically Hip entitled "Hip Check: The biggest band in Canada is not from Montreal". 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

We recently determined that the suspension bridge featured in the Tragically Hip's "Yer Not the Ocean" video isn't the Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver.  Some suggested it might be the suspension bridge at Scenic Caves in Collingwood, Ontario, but as you'll see below, that's not it either. Is it

The Tragically Hip's newest video is for "Yer Not the Ocean".  It features a polar bear and seems to have an environmental message for us all.  Gordie with a message about the environment?  Shocking! Can anyone tell me what park Gord and that polar bear are in?  Where would I

I've been hearing from people since I posted a Tragically Hip hater's analysis of the band.  Some agree with him, others know exactly where he's coming from.  All of this has got me thinking... I think you either get it, or you don't.  If you get it, you get it

When I shared Gord Downie's Hallelujah with a reader named Whorella Mundane, she told me I redeemed all of Canada.  I must have thought that was pretty cool because it prompted me to write this. I just got another message from Whorella Mundane.  Here's her manically wicked email in its

Last night, the number of times I've seen The Tragically Hip live in concert hit double digits.  Ryan and I got to our seats at the Air Canada Centre early to catch Buck 65.  This Nova Scotian is unique.  He's got a DJ spinning wax while he raps, but it's

The Hip don't perform many cover songs in concert.  I keep detailed statistics of every Hip song I've seen performed live and there's not a single cover song in the mix. On this tour, however, Gord and the boys are singing a different cover each stop.  Tonight I'll be seeing

They've announced the nominees for the 2007 Juno Awards in Saskatoon.  The Tragically Hip received four nominations: Group Of The Year, Rock Album Of The Year, Jack Richardson Producer Of The Year and CD/DVD Artwork Design Of The Year. I'm surprised they missed out on a nomination for single

I still think about that June 24 Tragically Hip show at Fort York.  Here's the review I wrote the next morning.  Besides being a fantastic show with great audio and a perfect venue there was "38 Years Old".  My 13 for 38 entry sheds some light on why this was

All morning I've been fielding emails from Hip fans wanting to know the password for this morning's presale.  This happens every time The Tragically Hip announce a new tour.  If you Google tragically hip presale password, I'm #1 with a bullet, making me a prime target for such queries. When
