I heard Rob Baker and Craig Northey on Y108 last night.  They were live in the studio playing some songs from their Stripper's Union collaboration.  Baker, of course, is from The Tragically Hip and Northey was from The Odds. They sounded great, but that's not the purpose of this entry.

A reader of this site emailed me this link.  The Tragically Hip are celebrating their twentieth anniversary and they're having a poll to decide what songs appear on their greatest hits.  They're careful not to call it a "greatest hits" collection, instead preferring to refer to it as "an album

The Tragically Hip's lead singer Gord Downie was auditioning this week for a role as Hall of Fame goaltender Ken Dryden in a made-for-TV miniseries about the 1972 Summit Series. As I type this, there is a picture of Paul Henderson celebrating "The Goal" in 1972 on the wall above

Fellow fans of The Tragically Hip will want to tune into CTV's "Corner Gas" on February 28, 2005 to see a cameo appearance by the band. You may want to stick around for "Degrassi: The Next Generation".  If the stars align, there might be a Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith
