Fully & Completely

IntroWhat happens when a song sits at the strange intersection of post-hardcore drumming, Gord's ghostly poetry, and full-on studio alchemy? This week, I'm joined by Vish from Edmonton—longtime Hip-head, writer, broadcaster, and host of Kreative Kontrol—to wrestle with what makes this entry in the Top Forty so haunting and so essential.Episode OverviewWe dig into the power of The Hip's studio experimentation, Vish's personal memories of the band, and why this song stands out even among the weirdest, most ambitious corners of Phantom Power.About the GuestVish Khanna is a staple in Canadian music media. He's a writer, interviewer, and the voice behind the Kreative Kontrol podcast. But beyond the mic, he's a lifelong Hip fan who's seen it all—from the Kumbaya Festival broadcast live on MuchMusic to the raw power of Another Roadside Attraction at 15 years old.Vish shares deeply personal stories of meeting Gord Downie in tiny clubs, trading emails, and even jamming on stage with members of the Country of Miracles at Hillside. This isn't just fandom—it's a lifelong relationship with the music, the people, and the community they built.ClosingHuge thanks to Vish for his time, his honesty, and his endless Hip-lore. If this track hits you in the gut like it does for us, share your own Hipstory. Leave us a voice memo, send an email, or come argue your rankings in the Facebook group.We'll be back next Monday with Song 13 on the countdown—don't miss it.So there's that.Connect with Us

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song Seventeen - Gillian from Palmerston Conversation HighlightsJillian shares personal stories that trace her life through Hip albums and live shows—from small-town house parties to big amphitheatre gigs, from heartbreaks to healing. She unpacks how certain songs surfaced at pivotal moments, guiding her through grief, reconciliation, motherhood, and joy. Her insights are full of warmth, humour, and a genuine love for what this band means to her and so many others.About Our GuestGillian's journey with The Hip began in rebellion against her twin brother's music taste, blossomed through hard-won independence, and became the emotional backbone of her adult life. From dancing onstage with a banana shaker to naming her Jeep Cordelia, she lives and breathes Hip fandom. She's a primary teacher, a deep thinker, and a proud member of what she beautifully calls the Church of Gord.Next WeekWe're staying in classic territory with a big one. Tune in to hear who joins us for song #16 as we edge closer to the top ten. It's about to get real.Pull Quote"I credit my love of The Hip with helping me reconcile with my brother. One song—‘Are We Family?'—played at just the right time. I don't know if that's the universe, but I call it the Church of Gord."Get Involved

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song 18 — Claire from Ann ArborHey, it's jD. And welcome to the wide open middle of the countdown — that beautiful, feral terrain where deep cuts go to become legends and personal faves start to collide with consensus picks.This week on The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown, I'm joined by one of our most thoughtful and eloquent membersHIPers: Claire from Ann Arbor. We talk about discovering The Hip as a millennial from the U.S., falling hard thanks to Hockey Night in Canada, and how a steady diet of CBC and her dad's hockey tapes led her straight to 50 Mission Cap. (That's right — before she even knew the song, she knew the legend of Bill Barilko. That's parenting done right.)But what really makes this one hit different? Claire's lived experience as a disabled fan navigating concerts, fandom, and feeling safe in the crowd. Her reflections on inclusivity, identity, and finding community through The Hip are honest, funny, moving, and — in true TTHTop40 fashion — a little nerdy in the best possible way.We're not just counting down songs here. We're collecting stories. Claire's is one you'll be glad you heard.

Who's the biggest Hip fan on the planet? We're on a mission to find out.The Tragically Hip Ultimate SuperFan Search 2025 is a fan-powered showdown celebrating passion, nostalgia, and pure Gord-fuelled devotion. Nominate your Hip-crazed friends — or yourself — and follow along as the countdown to crowning the ultimate fan unfolds.Stories, rivalries, and all the Hip love you can handle.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/tthtop40/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

You get a very Sunday kind of chaos — and the perfect atmosphere for another live episode of The Sunday Evening Jam with jD and Sara J.This week's theme? Misheard lyrics. But before we got to mondegreens and grandma's weed, we shared updates on ALS fundraising, reflected on Music @ Work's 25th, and shouted out Discovering Downie's anniversary coverage of The Grand Bounce. There was laughter, love, live show memories, and at least three Jeffs. Maybe more. Hard to say.And then… we got wacky.Episode Summary

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song 19 – Jeff from BellevilleWelcome back, Hip faithful. This week on the Countdown, I'm joined by one of our most beloved Sunday Evening Jam regulars — the witty, wise, and wonderfully loquacious Jeff from Belleville. You know him. You love him. And if you've ever caught a live stream where he was in the comments, you've probably laughed out loud.But today? Today, we go deeper.Jeff takes us back to his teenage years, up in a century-old Belleville coach house where Road Apples first took hold and never let go. From bootleg tapes and roadside attractions to mosh pits, surprise shows, and backstage encounters — Jeff's Hipstory spans 31 shows and countless life moments tied to the soundtrack of this band.Along the way, we talk memory, meaning, and mortality — including the two cardiac arrests Jeff survived (yes, you read that right), and the unexpected video message he received from Paul Langlois while recovering. This episode reminds us why we do this show in the first place: for the love, for the connection, for the community.We even get a bonus English Lit breakdown of King Lear — and how defiance, irony, and Shakespearean tragedy might be woven into one of the Hip's most poetic tracks. (And yeah, we manage to keep the actual title of that track on the DL. You're welcome.)

podUMENTARY: Music @ Work – 25 Years LaterA TTHTop40 Special Presentation“It just didn't click this time.” – Johnny FayIt was 25 years ago today that The Tragically Hip released Music @ Work—their seventh studio album and possibly their most misunderstood.In this special edition podUMENTARY episode, we're cracking open the vault and unspooling the story of Music @ Workwith help from fans, friends, and a few Hip insiders who were there when it all went down.From behind-the-scenes tension to on-stage experimentation, from Napster leaks to leaky vibes, Music @ Work emerged from a boiling point inside the band—and became a branching-off point for many fans. Some left. Others leaned in. And 25 years later, it's a record we're still reckoning with.We also hear from fans across the continent—those who loved Music @ Work instantly, those who took a 15-year break from it, and those who fell in love (literally) while listening to Lake Fever on an early web stream.Some call it a summer driving record. Others call it Experiments at Work. But almost everyone agrees: it's an album that keeps revealing itself, slowly, steadily, and strangely—especially with time.Next Week on TTHTop40We return to the countdown with Song #19 and a helluva guest, it's our friend Jeff from Bowmanville —don't miss it.Quote“Music @ Work probably should have been called Experiments at Work—because that's what it felt like.” – Listener submissionAbout This SpecialpodUMENTARY: Music @ Work – 25 Years Later is a one-off documentary-style episode of The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown created by jD and the team at Dewvre Podcasts & Such. It's a sonic tribute to a polarizing Hip record, made with the help of fans, Hip historians, and audio from the band themselves.Get Involved

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song 20 — Neil from Arroyo GrandeHey, it's jD, and this week I'm joined by a die-hard hockey fan and Hip convert who hails from California. Meet Neil from Arroyo Grande, the west coast wizard of late-night YouTube rabbit holes and deep-cut reverence.Neil didn't grow up with The Hip in his backyard. He had to find them — through hockey, through Trailer Park Boys, through a fascination with Canadian culture that led him down a road paved with Gretzky, Jericho, and yes… Gord.We talk about getting into the band via Yer Favourites, chasing context across albums and eras, and how discovering The Hip opened the door to new perspectives on art, identity, and memory. He shares what it's like being an American Hip fan (“Wait, they're not on the radio here?”), and how Phantom Power, Man Machine Poem, and some Gordon Edgar Downie solo magic helped him through hard times — and made the music his own.From WWE finishers to vapor trails to songs that hit like Shakespearean tragedy, this one's for the late bloomers, the lyric heads, and anyone who ever found themselves singing along to a song they didn't fully understand… until they really did.

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Round Table TwoSongs #40–21 | Live Streamed May 23, 2025Every ten songs, we hit pause on the countdown and bring the community to the mic. This is Round Table Two — a live-streamed, unfiltered, and occasionally unhinged group chat about all things Tragically Hip. In this installment, we turn our attention to the middle meat of the countdown: songs ranked #40 through #21, where the debates get louder, the takes get spicier, and the stakes feel weirdly personal.I'm your host, jD, joined by four of the most thoughtful and opinionated Hip fans I know: Chris Sinclair, Jeff Schnurr, Craig Rogers, and Sara J. Together, we dissect the placements, praise the sleepers, question the darlings, and throw a few punches (with love) at the songs we think missed their mark.Here's what you can expect inside this episode:Jeff from Vaughan can't believe We Want to Be It and You're Not the Ocean made it this far — especially when Don't Wake Daddy is chilling down at #41. He's got opinions, and he's not afraid to name names.Sara J celebrates the perfection of matchups — how the right guests landed the right songs in uncanny fashion — and gives a heartfelt shoutout to Sherry and her beautiful number symphony around Long Time Running.Craig from Vancouver argues he'd flip the entire list upside down if he could, with Three Pistols and We Want to Be It trading places. He also reflects on how playing in a tribute band changes how you hear — and feel — a song.Chris from Guelph shares his emotional milestone: the moment Saturday Night Live introduced him to The Hip and forever changed the trajectory of his fandom. He also lists five songs in this range he'd swap out for deep cuts like Dire Wolf, Opiated, and Morning Moon.We talk bridges (and how Bobcaygeon might have the greatest one of all time), overplayed classics (Boots or Hearts vs. Grace, Too), and bold predictions for what's still to come.And me? I mostly try to wrangle the chaos, play devil's advocate, and float the idea that no one will be able to predict the Top 5 in the right order — not even me, and I've seen the data.This is not your average podcast episode. It's a jam session. A group therapy night. A barstool conversation happening in real time. And like all good round tables, it ends in laughter, hot takes, side quests, and one bold prediction from every guest.Here's a sneak peek at just a few of the quotes you'll hear:
