This week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle, we cracked open 'Coffee Girl' - the fourth track and second single off "We Are the Same" (2009), produced by Bob Rock. On the TTHTop40 Countdown, it clocks in at number 53. It's been played live 78 times, last appearing on the final tour on July 30, 2016.Joining me for this one were two members of west coast tribute act Gift Shop - Craig from Langley and Ian from Maple Ridge - plus returning guest Tim from Columbus, host of the Dig Me Out Podcast. Two-fifths of Gift Shop, for the record. You can't reduce that fraction without going to decimal points, and you just can't do that.What we got into:The pre-release Bathhouse recording - recorded April 6, 2009, the day before the album dropped - was our jumping-off point, and it unlocked a lot. Organ instead of trumpet. A looser, jammier feel. Multiple gaffes and weirdness. And somehow, the bones of the song were all already there.From there the conversation ranged wide. Tim came in with a clear-eyed critique - the drum loop feels mechanical, the melody doesn't shift from verse to chorus, and he wishes Robbie Robertson had gone slide guitar instead of brass. It's a good song for most bands, he said. For The Hip, it's below average. Gauntlet dropped.Craig pushed back from a different angle - the musicality. He broke down why 'Coffee Girl' is so easy to listen to: it's in C major, four chords (F, C, Am, G), and it never deviates once. The chorus just drops the C. The fade-out isn't laziness - it's because there's no satisfying harmonic resolution to this story, and Craig walked through why Gift Shop ends it on a G (a half cadence) while The Hip's Abbotsford version lands on an A minor (a deceptive cadence). Genuinely great music nerd territory.Ian brought the emotional case for the album as a whole - the deliberate smoothness of the production, the loss of grit that divided fans, and why he thinks people owe "We Are the Same" a deeper listen than most gave it. He also flagged Derry Byrne - the trumpet player on the track - as a Kitsilano local who plays with the Jill Townsend Jazz Orchestra. And he introduced a darker reading of the lyrics: is the coffee girl cautious for a reason? Is there something more unsettling running beneath the surface of an otherwise easy, sunny song?That lyric conversation went deep. We talked about Gord's love of people-watching - including jD's two separate sightings of Gord at a Timothy's on the Danforth with his MacBook, pecking away at the window. We talked about Craig's memory of seeing the album's theatre release the night before it came out, seven months after his first kid was born, and how that version of 'Coffee Girl' was the first time he ever heard the song. And we talked about whether the mixtape-with-classic-Beck line ages anyone else as hard as it aged us.The poll results this week showed about 25% of Hip fans in the Facebook group feeling negative or indifferent about 'Coffee Girl.' Not surprising - but Ian made the case for patience, and he made it well.Next week: 'Wheat Kings.' Top 10 on the countdown. If there was ever a song that screams Canadiana - and there never is a time to wave a flag at a Hip show, but if there were - it's that one.Guests this week:Gift Shop - West coast Tragically Hip tribute act featuring Craig and Ian. Catch them live on August 20, 2026 at the Hollywood Theatre in Kitsilano, BC - the ten-year anniversary of the final show. Deep cuts guaranteed. At least one song off "We Are the Same."

In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie continues his conversations with Gord Cooke, President at Building Knowledge Canada, and Ian Walker, Sales & Marketing Manager at Aeroseal, about duct sealing and building performance. They explain how Aeroseal works by sealing leaks at the source without coating the entire duct, clearing up common misconceptions. The discussion highlights how leaky duct systems can lose a large amount of airflow, affecting comfort, balance, and system efficiency in a home. Gord shares insights on why sealing ducts improves airflow control and helps deliver air where it is needed most. They also talk about return air design, common issues with panned returns, and why proper airflow measurement matters for HVAC performance. Gary, Ian, and Gord discuss how Aeroseal works to seal duct leaks using pressure and a targeted sealant that only sticks at gaps. They explain that the process does not coat the full duct system and instead seals leaks from the inside. The conversation covers how duct leakage can reduce airflow, comfort, and system balance in a home. They also talk about how sealing ducts can improve air delivery and make balancing systems more effective. Gord shares insights on return air design, explaining common issues with panned returns and why they often do not move much air. They finish by highlighting how proper sealing and airflow checks help improve overall HVAC performance and comfort. Expect to Learn: How Aeroseal seals duct leaks by targeting gaps without coating the full duct system. How duct leakage can reduce airflow, comfort, and system balance in a home. How sealing ducts can improve air delivery and make system balancing more effective. Why return air systems often move less air than expected, especially when not fully ducted. How proper sealing and airflow checks can improve overall HVAC performance and comfort.   Episode Highlights:  [00:00] - Sponsor: Factory Direct Filters ad [00:42] - Intro to Gord Cooke and Ian Walker in Part 02  [02:02] - Arrow Seal vs. Aero Barrier: Same tech, different application [02:49] - Myth busted: Sealant only plugs holes, doesn't coat duct walls [04:27] - Why seal ducts?

A Forest Of Whispering Speakers - The BookTwo writers. Ten years of trust. One Tragically Hip catalogue. Episode two is the story of how the book got written without flattening the band.Episode SummaryA Forest Of Whispering Speakers is the oral history of the Theatre Aquarius world premiere of It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken, the new musical built on the music of The Tragically Hip. Act II: The Book is the writers' room episode — how an exile's journey gets shaped into a story, and how Hip songs become the emotional grammar of that story without ever turning it into a band biography or a jukebox musical.Host jD sits down with co-writers Ahmed Moneka and Jesse LaVercombe, with producer Michael Rubinoff and Tragically Hip manager Jake Gold stepping in to frame the bigger picture. The episode opens at a campfire in Prince Edward County in 2015, traces the ten-year partnership that built King Gilgamesh and the Man of the Wild at Soulpepper, and lands on the two different doors each writer walked through to find The Hip — one across a bridge in Bobcaygeon, the other watching Gord say goodbye from south of the border.Inside the episode: the load-bearing wall of a decade-long friendship, the yin-yang of Ahmed's exile and Jesse's grief, a Thornton Wilder quote about platitudes, and a working theory that 700 people in a theatre cannot lie to you at once.Guest InfoAhmed Moneka (Toronto, via Baghdad) — Co-writer of It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken.

Former Leafs GM and fill-in host Gord Stellick joins Nick Kypreos and Sam McKee to kick off the second hour, and he shares his reaction to Craig Berube's dismissal in Toronto. Then, former NHL player, executive and agent Brian Lawton (8:30) gives his take on the Oilers' leaked request to interview Bruce Cassidy before making a public decision on Kris Knoblauch, which team Cassidy fits best with, and how much influence star players have on franchise decisions in today's NHL. Later, Nick, Gord and Sam discuss Buffalo's disallowed goal after a 12-minute review, whether their fluky goal off the stanchion can be a series-turning point, and the Sedin twins emerging as an option to be co-Presidents in Vancouver.

Is there a bigger political lightning rod when it comes to the City of Guelph budget than the police budget? For some people, we spend too much on the police and at the expense of expanded funding for social services, and for others we don't spend nearly enough on the police. As we look to the next term at city hall, what challenges around policing will be presented to the new council? In their 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, the Guelph Police Service outlined six priority areas: community policing, investigative excellence, community wellness, organizational health and service effectiveness, road safety, and policing downtown. To help achieve those ends, GPS committed to a Staffing & Service Delivery study performed by KPMG, which said the service needed more investment to bring it up to par with similarly sized cities.  It was hardly the best time for such big budget increases based on the fallout of Black Lives Matter and the affordability crisis, but the budget increases over the last few years have produced results. The challenges though keep multiplying, and so do the funds needed, and while the police are not political, the funding of police is. As we start debating the issues in this election, what are the police leaders thinking about before the next term of council in terms of their priorities?  To that end, we have on this edition both Guelph Police Services Chief Gord Cobey and chair of the Guelph Police Services Board Peter McSherry. Together, they will will discuss the inner workings of the Police Board, balancing affordability and growth over the last couple of budgets and whether the Guelph Police has achieved or exceeded their expectations. We will also talk about the police's role in educating the public about the budget and whether there's an education role for the police in this election.  So let's talk about the future of police and this election on this week's Guelph Politicast!  You can learn more about the Guelph Police Service, and find all its published reports on their website. The next meeting of the Guelph Police Services Board is on Thursday May 21, and you will be able to watch it on the Guelph Police YouTube channel. The agenda for that meeting will be available on Friday on the GPS website. Stay tuned for more reporting and insight about the election on Guelph Politico and the Guelph Politico Tip Sheet newsletter.  The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: Looking For A Place To HappenA Halifax 2015 live cut, a 40-person Off Ramp show in 1991, and a panel that pulls the deep American Hipstory out of "Fully Completely."Episode OverviewThis week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle, host jD spins 'Looking For A Place To Happen' - track two from the 1992 Chris Tsangarides-produced "Fully Completely." It is the sequencer's burden to live between 'Courage' and 'At The Hundredth Meridian,' and the panel is here to figure out what it's hauling.The roundtable is a North American one this time. Dave from Montreal joins jD alongside two lifelong friends and bandmates, Greg from Tacoma and Chris from Seattle, who have been playing music together since 1981 and watching The Tragically Hip every chance they got. Greg's first Hip show was a 40-person night at The Off Ramp in 1991, opening for The Sundays, where Gord opened 'Looking For A Place To Happen' with a frogman-for-the-cops story instead of a killer-whale-tank one. Chris saw The Hip up close at the Under The Rail and watched Gord catch a flying beer mid-line without missing a beat.The conversation runs deep. The panel reads the song as a great Canadian travelogue working on multiple levels at once - the Jacques Cartier exterior, the interior landscape of a songwriter and a touring band looking for places to happen, and the foreshadowing of what would later become Gord's most public work around indigenous rights. There is talk of bootleg pre-shows, the legendary monologues that never made the record, the 'plaintive plaintive whale' outro that lives only in old recordings, and the beautiful curse of being the eleventh-best song on a record this good.The opener question this week was favourite last song on a Hip album. Dave goes with 'Emperor Penguin' from "Phantom Power" - heard on Saint Laurent at midnight after grabbing a tape from Sam The Record Man, and only ever heard live once, in Quebec City on the We Are The Same tour. Chris picks 'The Wherewithal' from "Live Between Us," recorded at Cobo Arena in Detroit, where he could throw a rock and hit Windsor as a kid. Greg represents the Northwest with 'Goodnight Josephine' from "In Between Evolution," recorded in his rainy hometown.Songs come up for a reason.Quick Facts: Looking For A Place To HappenAlbum: "Fully Completely" (1992)Track: 2 of 12Producer: Chris TsangaridesFirst live performance: February 4, 1991Last live performance: October 15, 2015TTHTop40 Countdown ranking: #35 (of 169 tracks)Live version featured on the stream: Halifax, 2015 (Fully And Completely tour)PanelistsDave from Montreal A Tragically Hip fan since the band came calling on much music.

The panel digs into a quiet, jammy deep cut from "In Violet Light" - and finds a father-daughter scene, a Bahamas-recorded slow burn, and one of the most conversational lyrics in the catalogue.Episode OverviewThis week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle, host jD pulls 'Throwing Off Glass' - track six from the 2002 Hugh Padgham-produced "In Violet Light." Joining the virtual campfire are returning panelists Adam from Tampa, Andrew from Winnipeg, and Tyler from Etobicoke, who bring opening picks for favourite last song on a Hip album: 'Opiated,' 'The New Maybe,' and a tie between 'Impossibility' and 'Machine.'The conversation lands on a song that rewards a closer listen. The panel reads it as Gord in the car with his daughter, watching stoop-shouldered teens on a corner, trading new vocabulary back and forth - exquisite, iridescent, barbarous threats. Andrew points out the song feels jammed into existence rather than written, with the title phrase landing like a riff Gord caught on the fly. Adam zeroes in on the heartbreak underneath the scene: a dad clocking that his kid is on her way to a world he can't shield her from.Key Discussion PointsSequencing on vinyl versus streaming, and why the song lands differently as the closer of side AThe "Coke Machine Glow" connection: 'Trick Rider' as a possible companion piece, and the broader fatherhood thread running through Gord's writing in this eraHugh Padgham's production approach and the band's decision to record the album in The Bahamas after the workshopped sessions of "Music @ Work"The song's life on the "Men with Brooms" soundtrack alongside Sarah Harmer, Kathleen Edwards, Our Lady Peace, and Big SugarLive history: first played at the "In Violet Light" release party at the Hard Rock Cafe on Yonge Street, retired August 12, 2016 in Toronto on the Man Machine Poem tourPaul's understated electric work on the final tour performance, and Gord's whispered "true story" tag at the endSong of the Week ResultsOf 500 votes cast on 'Throwing Off Glass':56% loved it28% liked it9% tolerated it5% skipped it2% had never heard itComing Up Next WeekThe shuffle landed on 'Looking For a Place to Happen' for the next episode.A new podcast in The Tragically Hip Podcast Series, A Forest Of Whispering Speakers, premieres April 30th.

Comedy Month wraps up as Mike talks with Rob St. Mary and Heather Drain about Tom Green's Freddy Got Fingered (2001) and Producer Lauren Lloyd joins Mike for an interview about working on the film that was almost universally trashed on release. Green wrote, directed, and stars as Gord Brody, an aspiring cartoonist who heads to Hollywood to sell his drawings as an animated series.

Fully & Completely: Redux Man Machine PoemThe last record. "Man Machine Poem" arrived in June 2016 wrapped in the worst news imaginable - and somehow it was still everything. Episode Summary: jD and Greg LeGros sit under a pear tree - bees and all - for the final entry in Fully & Completely's full Tragically Hip discography run. The album in question is "Man Machine Poem", the Hip's fourteenth and last studio record, released June 17th, 2016. Produced by Kevin Drew and Dave Hamelin, it arrived weeks after the band announced Gord Downie's glioblastoma diagnosis - though almost everything on it was written before that news broke. What jD and Greg dig into here is not just a final album. It's a listen to a band that sounds revitalized. That sounds, somehow, free. Track by track they work through all ten songs - 'Man', 'In a World Possessed by the Human Mind', 'What Blue', 'In Sarnia', 'Here, in the Dark', 'Great Soul', 'Tired as Fuck', 'Hot Mic', 'Ocean Next', and 'Machine' - unpacking the lyrical weight, the production choices, the thematic through lines, and the heartbreak of knowing this was the last one. There's also conversation about the musical landscape of 2016 - "Blackstar", "Blonde", "A Moon Shaped Pool", "We Got It from Here" - and the news, announced in the episode, that a new Gord Downie solo double album was coming. A heavy, funny, essential listen. “This is the most complete and well-written and natural sounding that they've sounded since ‘Phantom Power'. You could not ask for more.” - Greg LeGros What They Covered Track 1 - 'Man' • Psychedelic opener. Gord's vocal sounds ageless. jD hears the melody of 'Machine' hiding in the first 30 seconds - a bookend hiding in plain sight. Track 2 - 'In a World Possessed by the Human Mind' • Written about Laura Downie's illness. Greg reads it three ways simultaneously - personal, political, about the post-truth media cycle. 'Exciting over fair.' It lands every time. Track 3 - 'What Blue' • Greg cracks the code mid-episode: those eyes in the grey of everything falling apart. A marriage ending, quietly, inside a great song. Track 4 - 'In Sarnia' Fully & Completely: Redux Man Machine Poem tthpods.com 2 • Originally titled 'Insomnia'. Greg's go-to on the album. jD calls the guitar intro and vocal entry 'spectacular.' A love song to sleeplessness, or to a city, or to both. Track 5 - 'Here, in the Dark' • Seasonal affective disorder as a rock song. The last lyric - 'Me, I'm as happy as my least-happy kid' - hits like a gut punch. Both of them feel it. Track 6 - 'Great Soul' • Jammy and psychedelic and soaring. Greg reads the lyric run - 'I want to enchant you, I want you to enchant my days' - like a poem, and it sounds stunning that way. Track 7 - 'Tired as Fuck' • The campfire song that isn't. Tragic and hopeful at the same time. Greg's favourite line on the whole record: 'Tired as fuck, I want to stop so much, I almost don't want to stop.' Track 8 - 'Hot Mic' • Big, ballsy, stompy. Possible commentary on celebrity, patriotism, or Canada overhearing the wreck next door. Probably all three. Track 9 - 'Ocean Next' • Sounds recorded underwater. Feels like moving. Transition and mournfulness, wrapped in something that sounds straight off 'Day for Night'. Track 10 - 'Machine' • The album closes funky and light. The groove catches you off guard after everything that came before. 'I'm a real machine. It follows.' A stadium-sized song that most people only heard in arenas. Stadium-sized, Greg says. He's right. Also In This Episode The context of 2016: jD and Greg run through the musical landscape - David Bowie's "Blackstar", Frank Ocean's "Blonde", Beyoncé's "Lemonade", Radiohead's "A Moon Shaped Pool", A Tribe Called Quest's "We Got It from Here". A year of established artists making career-best work. The Hip fit right in. Greg's daughter was born in January 2016. He heard the news about Gord standing in a coffee shop with her in a stroller. He heard 'Tired as Fuck' that same afternoon. "A mixture of emotions" doesn't cover it. Album lore: the record was almost called "Dougie Stardust". When David Bowie passed away, they changed the title. The original cover would have stayed the same. jD notes he cannot imagine this collection of songs under that name. Gord Downie solo news: announced during the recording of this episode - a new double album, "Away Is Mine", ten songs in electric and acoustic versions. Josh Finlayson asked for the acoustic takes as a memento. Gord was recording this in July 2017 - three months before he passed. "Getting the shit done for us. Colossal output."

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: An Inch an HourWhat does a song about slow-moving things sound like at 150 BPMs? Apparently, it sounds like this. jD and the panel dig deep into 'An Inch an Hour' — track 11 from "Day for Night," one of the most layered records The Tragically Hip ever made, and one that keeps revealing new angles the harder you look.This week's panel is three returning panelists who somehow decided it was okay to come back: Ian from Maple Ridge, Duxoop from Toledo, and Tom from New York. Together they pull apart the glacier metaphor hidden inside a riff that rips, chase down the Springside Park reference (the water there is the colour of tea, and yes, that matters), debate whether the f-bomb in verse two is the reason this song never cracked radio, and reckon with what it means to let a record this good gather dust at the back of the shelf.Duxoop brought the research. Tom did the math — and the math checks out. Ian brought the imagery of Gord on a tour bus, watching the world fly past at highway speed, throwing a finished book over his shoulder. There's a Trudeau reference in there, a possible Mr. Dressup callback, and a punk rock moment in the second line that you'll never unhear once it's pointed out.This one also opened with a shoutout to everyone who showed up — virtually, physically, spiritually — for An Evening for Sara J. The $5,000 goal was set. By all accounts, it was cleared. The abacus is back from the shop. More on that as the numbers land.Also: Ian's tribute band, Gift Shop, has four shows coming up in BC this spring and summer — including an August 20th night in Vancouver marking ten years since the final show. Worth your time. Worth the ticket.PanelistsIan from Maple Ridge, BC — Frontman of Gift Shop, a Tragically Hip tribute band based in British Columbia.

An Evening For Sara J - The PodcastPatrick Downie doesn't show up to talk about the band. He shows up to talk about his brother.That's what made An Evening for Sara J - a community fundraiser held April 11, 2025 at the Firkin on Yonge in Toronto - something a little different. Patrick joined jD on stage in front of a room full of Hip fans, and what followed was one of the most honest, warm, and quietly moving conversations this network has ever put to tape. No press junket. No talking points. Just a brother talking about a brother - and what it means to carry that forward.They got into the weight of curating Gord's legacy, the Downie Wenjack Fund, what it felt like to go from being taken care of to doing the taking care of. Patrick talked about the Dirty Three, about Gord's deep punk rock heart, about the new Gord Downie and the Sadies and the Conquering Sun record - eight tracks from 2014, Gord at full speed, letting it all go. They talked about 'Are We Family?' and what family actually meant in that house, with that clock on the wall and that pattern on the tape. And they talked about Buffalo. Obviously.This one is different. You'll know it when you hear it.About Patrick DowniePatrick Downie is the younger brother of Gord Downie and a tireless steward of Gord's legacy - through the Downie Wenjack Fund, through the ongoing archival releases, and through showing up to rooms like this one when it matters. He is, as he put it himself, still taking care of his brother.Resources & LinksJoin the community at community.tthpods.comSupport the Sara J GoFundMe at fundraising.tthpods.comThe Downie Wenjack Fund: downiewenjack.caGord Downie and the Sadies and the Conquering Sun: Live at Six O'Clock - available nowMore from The Tragically Hip Podcast Series at home.tthpods.comConnectFacebook: community.tthpods.com | Instagram: @tthpods | YouTube: youtube.com/@tthpods | Email: jd@tthpods.com#TheTragicallyHip #GordDownie #InGordWeTrust #TheHip #TragicallyHip #GordFuckingDownieAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: 'The Luxury''The Luxury' sits in the middle third of "Road Apples" and somehow that's exactly where it belongs. Track four of twelve. It doesn't announce itself. It doesn't demand anything from you. It just settles in - dark, jazzy, a little snarling - and waits to see if you're paying attention. Turns out, a lot of people are.This week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle, jD is joined by three first-timers - Paul from Columbus, Jamie from LA (by way of Montreal, for the record), and Eric from Toronto, who also happens to shred guitar in Forever Hip. Three rookies. One song. Zero consensus on where it ranks on "Road Apples." All the consensus in the world on 'The Last Recluse.' So there's that.The tale of the tape: 'The Luxury' comes from "Road Apples," released February 18th, 1991, and recorded at Kingsway Studios in New Orleans - Daniel Lanois' personal studio. Produced by Don Smith. Live debut: March 1st, 1991 at the Town Pump in Vancouver. Final performance: August 10th at the Air Canada Centre - the middle show of the Man Machine Poem Tour. It ranked #67 out of 169 songs on the TTHTop40 Countdown.The conversation goes deep:Jamie breaks down a single melodic note change Gord made on the chorus - from the studio recording through the Roxy in May '91 all the way to "Live Between Us" in '96 - and how that one shift changed the song's emotional register entirely. Eric reads the lyrics as a vignette: a man fresh out of prison, hiring company for the night, seeing a colour TV and soft water as genuine luxuries. Paul connects the song to the fire at his cottage near Tobermory, a Crown Royal in hand, just letting it sit. They get into the "fleur-de-lis" line, the Playboy reference, the lyric flip on "why are you partial to that Playboy con," and Gord's famous "song about a man walking down the street shaking a banana" intro on "Live Between Us." There's also a live chat shoutout to Duxoop Douglas for the New Orleans connection. Very good, yeah.The live shuffle at the end of the episode lands on 'An Inch, An Hour' from "Day for Night." Next week.Paul from Columbus is a lifelong Hip fan from Columbus, Ohio - and the guy who connected the July 1st, 1992 Molson Park poster to the raffle happening this Saturday at An Evening for Sara J. Bada bing.Jamie from LA - originally from Montreal, where his love for The Hip was first forged at camp in '89 via a mixtape with 'New Orleans Is Sinking' and '38 Years Old' on it - is heading to Toronto at the end of the month to perform in the cast of Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish with English supertitles at the Elgin Theatre. May 25th to June 7th. Go see it.Eric from Toronto plays guitar in Forever Hip, who are performing this Saturday at An Evening for Sara J at the Firkin on Yonge. Patrick Downie will be there. Two sets of all your favourites and that song you're thinking of right now.

Getting Hip to the Hip - "We Are the Same"Pete and Tim hear "We Are the Same" for the first time. Bob Rock, big strings, and a campfire album that divides fans right down the middle.EPISODE SUMMARYReleased in 2009 and produced by Bob Rock, "We Are the Same" was the first record in over 20 years that made Tragically Hip fans wait longer than two years for new material. It debuted at number one. And it is, to put it diplomatically, a record that asks something of you.Pete Marchica and Tim Lyden sit down with jD for their first full listen, and neither of them is ready for what they get. The conversation covers every track - from the country-laced AM radio chorus of 'Morning Moon' to the sprawling, emotionally devastating nine-plus minutes of 'Depression Suite,' which Pete calls fucking magnificent. There are Pink Floyd comparisons, David Gilmour guitar tributes, a detour into the agricultural meaning of 'Queen of the Furrows,' and a story about how Gord heard a CBC news correspondent's name as "Honey Watson" mid-song and just... went with it.The residential school system, the weight of Gord's legacy as a voice for people who needed one, and the question of where that voice has gone in music today - those threads run through the episode too. Pete says it plainly. Tim agrees. jD doesn't argue.Bob Rock takes some heat. The drum mixing takes some heat. The strings - which show up on approximately every song - take some heat. And yet, somehow, this episode ends with three grown men picking their MVPs and meaning every word.'Depression Suite' is jD's. 'Frozen in My Tracks' is Tim's. Pete's? Listen and find out. Some things you've got to earn.ABOUT THE HOSTSjD is the founder and host of The Tragically Hip Podcast Series, a seven-show podcast network built out of love for a band and a community. He has raised over $35,000 for causes including the Downie Wenjack Fund, the Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research, and CAMH.Pete Marchica is coming to you from Spain. He showed up this week with notes, opinions, and a strip club analogy that somehow makes complete sense in context.Tim Lyden listened to this album later than he would like to admit, did a deep dive on Honey Watson's true identity the day before recording, and watched a crow destroy something in his backyard mid-episode.RESOURCES & REFERENCESTragically Hip discography and setlist data: HipbaseLive performance history: setlist.fmBand biography: This Is Our Life by Michael BarclayThe Tragically Hip Archive - source for live recordingsIN THIS EPISODEOpening: jD on "We Are the Same" and the three-year waitThe Italian fan translating Hip lyrics into his own melodic structureTrack-by-track: 'Morning Moon,' 'Honey Please,' 'Wheat Kings,' 'Coffee Girl,' 'Exact Feeling,' 'Queen of the Furrows,' 'Speed River,' 'Depression Suite,' 'Love Is a First,' 'Country Day'The Bob Rock debate: production genius or too much Kool-Aid?Gord Downie, residential schools, and the question of who speaks for the people nowMVPs, playlist picks, and a poodle skirt fundraising pledgeCALLS TO ACTIONListen to Getting Hip to the Hip and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.Join the community: community.tthpods.comCONNECT

Fully & Completely: redux - We Are the SameThe Hip's most divisive record. The one that feels beige on first listen and breaks your heart on the fifth. jD and Greg LeGros go track by track through "We Are the Same" - and they don't hold back.jD and Greg LeGros return for the 17th anniversary episode of the "We Are the Same" deep dive. The album nobody fully agreed on when it dropped in 2009, and the one that keeps climbing anyway. The production is neutered, Bob Rock wanted to sell records out of Starbucks, and yet - 'Depression Suite' is sitting right there in the middle of it, ten minutes long, and it is a monster.They go track by track. 'Morning Moon.' 'Honey Please.' 'The Last Recluse.' 'Coffee Girl' (controversial, stay with them). 'Now the Struggle Has a Name' - which turns out to be about something much bigger than the melody suggests. And 'The Depression Suite,' which gets called hookless by critics in 2009 and is, in fact, enormously hooky.Greg lands on 'The Last Recluse' as his takeaway song. jD goes with 'Depression Suite' but admits he's going to listen to 'The Struggle Has a Name' twice on the drive home with a different set of ears. There's a Sobeys story. There's a Gandharvas rabbit hole. There's a Honey Watson correction that opens the whole album up.This is Fully & Completely: Redux. It's the same DNA as the original run. Not a sequel - a reunion. Start at the start.What We Get Into'Morning Moon' - The most complete recording on the album. Neil Young-adjacent, not in a bad way. Should have been the first single. Greg connects it to listening out a charter bus window watching Ontario roll by, and it clicks. The plume of smoke across the lake from Bath studio. Labour Day. Makes sense.'Honey Please' - The Springsteen opening that the production keeps from becoming what it should be. Mission statement buried in the first verse: I don't want to look for words, I don't want to work that hard. jD reads it as Gord's note to himself - and maybe Bob Rock's - for this entire record.'The Last Recluse' - Tragically Hip at their most Radiohead-adjacent, which is not a sentence you write about many Hip songs. A Springsteen-y tragic love story. The Radiohead gang vocal at the end earns its place. Who is the last recluse? Greg has a read. It lands.'Coffee Girl' - The most contentious track. Greg calls it the basement for this band. jD goes to bat for it from the barista's point of view - working the early shift, knowing her name, getting off the bus stop north just to walk past. He doesn't fully win the argument. But he makes a run at it.'Now the Struggle Has a Name' - This is where the episode opens up. Residential schools. Reconciliation. The first time Gord openly dedicates a full song to something this specific and this political. The applause can begin for the apology. That is a stinging line. And Honey Watson, it turns out, is Connie Watson - he misheard the name on the news, wrote it down, realized the mistake, and kept it anyway. Of course he did.'The Depression Suite' - Nearly ten minutes. Three movements. Called hookless by people who weren't listening. Are you going through something? Because I am too is one of the great hooks in this catalogue - F sharp minor, Greg can't stretch his hand to play it, it still lands. 2009 was early to be this direct about mental health. The Hip were early, as usual.'The Exact Feeling,' 'Queen of the Furrows,' 'Speed River,' 'Frozen in My Tracks,' 'Love Is a First,' 'Country Day'- The back half of the record gets a harder look. Some of it holds up better than they expected. Some of it still suffers from production that cuts the band off at the knees right when they should be rocking. 'Skeleton Park' - the bonus track, Apple Music Extra only, not on every format - is brought up as the song that should have been the closer. Never heard it? Go find it.The VerdictGreg's takeaway song: 'The Last Recluse' jD's takeaway song: 'The Depression Suite' The song to play someone to introduce them to this album: 'Morning Moon' - impossible not to like Does anything crack jD's personal top 25 Hip songs? No. He says so plainly. Is it still a good album? Yeah. It is. Greg likes 65% of it. He says so plainly too.Coming UpNext time out - a Hipstories episode with a very interesting guest. A Gord solo episode follows that.

Eight songs. One vinyl pressing so rare most fans have never held it. And a song that — based on all available evidence — was played live maybe three times before The Hip quietly let it go. jD, Joe from Toronto, Andy from St. Thomas, and Justin from Bridport dug into the self-titled EP and found something they weren't expecting.Episode Summary'I'm a Werewolf Baby' clocks in at number 140 out of 169 songs in the TTH Podcast Series community poll. And yet. Pull it up right now and try not to move. You can't. You will fail. That's the thing about this song — it doesn't care where it ranks. It just rips.The song comes from the self-titled Tragically Hip EP, released in the Kingston area in late 1987 and distributed more widely in 1988. It was produced by Red Ryder guitarist Ken Greer. Lyrics by Gord Downie. Music by Robbie, Johnny, and Gord Sinclair. That songwriting credit breakdown — individual, named, specific — is one of the things that makes the EP a genuinely interesting document. That, and the fact that it pre-dates Paul Langlois on guitar. He played shaker on this one. And during the breakdown, apparently, Gord picked him up and carried him around the stage. So there's that.Based on what setlist.fm and Hipbase can confirm, the song was performed live only three known times — debuting in 1987 at the Alma Combo in Toronto and last appearing April 11, 1990 at the Spectrum in Montreal. Why did they stop? The panel had opinions. Some of it comes down to New Orleans Is Sinking absorbing the sonic real estate. Some of it comes down to werewolves being out of fashion by 1990. Some of it, jD suspects, is that they just didn't love it anymore — and when your setlist is building toward "Nautical Disaster" and "Fifty-Mission Cap," this one starts to look like the eight-crayon box sitting beside the 128-count set with the built-in sharpener.What the panel kept coming back to is the foreshadowing. The howl in this song, Andy from St. Thomas points out, is the same howl Gord would use between songs on the 2016 Man Machine Poem Tour — the final tour — with the mic pressed to his belly button. Nearly thirty years apart. Same sound. The embryo and the elegy.Justin from Bridport came in having re-watched the docuseries specifically to prepare. He surfaced the detail that the song predates Paul's addition to the band — this was a holdover from the Davis Manning era, a relic that got dusted off and recorded because they needed one more song. That reframe matters. This wasn't a proud showcase. It was a polished demo. It was the bar band phase. It was fresh-out-of-high-school energy — and Johnny Fay was literally still a teenager when they tracked it.Joe from Toronto, frontman of Forever Hip, put it plainly: the lyrics read like Paul Stanley wrote them. Which is not an insult, actually. It's just that from Gord Downie, knowing what came after, it reads like a deal with the devil got made sometime between this and "Locked in the Trunk of a Car." The growth from 1987 to 1989 is almost impossible to reconcile when you hear them back to back. Justin confirmed it — his algorithm served him 'I'm a Werewolf Baby' and then, immediately after, 'Blow at High Dough' from "Up to Here." Same band. Two years later. How.Community poll results from the Facebook group (approaching 5,000 members - now there's a number): 58% love this tune, 26% tolerate it, 11% skip it, and 5% had never heard it before tonight. That 5% number surprised everyone. It probably shouldn't. If you came to The Hip through "Phantom Power," this EP is a different country.Next week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle: 'The Luxury' from "Road Apples." Three new panelists. One random song. Same deal.The GuestsJoe from Toronto is the frontman of Forever Hip, the Tragically Hip tribute band playing live at An Evening for Sara J - April 11 at the Firkin on Yonge. This is his second appearance on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle.Andy from St. Thomas is a lifelong Hip fan making his first appearance on the show. He came prepared, he admitted the EP was one he'd slept on, and his insight about Gord's 2016 howl being traceable all the way back to this song was the best moment of the night. He's a good dad. His daughter knew the Blue Album better than he did.Justin from Bridport - the only Bridport in America, and a returning panelist working his way toward the five-timers sash.

Canadian cycling great Gord Fraser has many road race wins to his name. But how many exactly? A quick search online leads to the number 200. Two hundred race wins. Really? In this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, Fraser discusses just where that figure might have come from and how many victories he may actually have. (Hint: it's still a lot.) Today, the former pro from Ottawa directs up-and-coming talent at Tag Cycling. With a seemingly clairvoyant ability to read races, Fraser has been helping emerging road riders improve and move up the ranks of the sport. He's also a vintage bike collector. In this in-depth interview, he reveals how a story he wrote for Canadian Cycling Magazine led to a reunion with a special bike from his past. Also in this episode, CCM photographer and writer James Bunga reports from Belgium, where he's covering the Spring Classics. He and editors Matthew Pioro and Matt Hansen preview the Tour of Flanders. This episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine podcast is supported by MS Bike. In 2026, MS Bike is running 10 great rides in six provinces. Each event is fully supported with fuel, roadside assistance and first aid. These rides are welcoming. You only really need a bike, a helmet and the desire to keep pedalling.

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: Train OvernightThis week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle, jD pulls 'Train Overnight' from "Music @ Work" - the twelfth track on the eighth album, a deep cut that earned exactly zero votes in the TTHTop40 fan-sourced countdown, landing in the company of only four other songs in The Hip's entire catalogue with the same distinction. 'Luv, sic,' 'Goodnight Josephine,' 'Sherpa,' and 'Are We Family.' That's the list. Five songs. Out of everything they ever recorded.The panel doesn't agree on what to make of 'Train Overnight.' And that's exactly what makes this episode worth an hour of your time.Kirk from Chino is the only panelist who saw it live - twice, in San Francisco and LA on the same tour. He noticed seven people on stage his first time seeing The Hip. A keyboard player, a female vocalist who occasionally played percussion. That was his frame of reference for what this band was. Greg from Tacoma - who first heard The Hip on the same Seattle radio station that broke Nirvana, spent two years thinking the song was NRBQ, then proceeded to do guerrilla marketing for the band across the Pacific Northwest for the better part of a decade - brings the long-distance devotion that makes American Hip fans a particular breed of formidable. Mike from Toronto was there from the very beginning. Jake Gold handed him a wristband at a Day for Night-era surprise show at the Horseshoe. Queen and Spadina. Nine in the morning. 300 people that night. He asks the question the whole panel keeps circling back to: if 'Train Overnight' had been on the first record, would The Hip have been The Hip?The conversation moves through Gord's lyrical genius - specifically the line about apologizing like an old dictator might, which Greg calls one of those Gordism nuggets just buried in the song - through the bass work of Gord Sinclair (part McCartney, part Geezer Butler, all chug), through what it meant to be an American doing guerrilla marketing for a band most of your country had never heard of, and through the generational divide the Shuffle keeps surfacing: "Music @ Work" as exit point for one wave of fans and as entry point for another. Kirk came in through this record. Mike came in at the Horseshoe in '87. Greg found them in 1989. Same band. Three completely different doors.Greg puts the whole arc into something sharp near the end: Day for Night as the blue period, the hangover after the nineties. Trouble at the Henhouse as the rosy-fingered dawn coming up the next morning. Phantom Power as the bright of day. And "Music @ Work" as a prism - every colour at once. The first record where they had 5,000 crayons instead of 64. You've got to love it.Next week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle: 'I'm a Werewolf Baby.'GuestsKirk from Chino - A returning Shuffle panelist and musician, Kirk came to The Hip through the later catalogue and has been going back to the beginning ever since. He saw 'Train Overnight' live twice on the same tour - San Francisco and LA. He's a co-host on Discovering Downie and plays in a cover band called The Darryls (his name is Larry). He has a solo album in the works and a debut live performance booked in San Diego, May 2. Follow him at Kirk Lane Music on Facebook and Instagram.Mike from Toronto - A first-timer on the Shuffle and a lifelong Hip fan who was there from the very beginning - the Horseshoe, the Alma Combo in '87, a Day for Night-era surprise show where Jake Gold gave him the wristband. His go-to record is "Day for Night." He listens to every album start to finish on long drives. He also recommends Ryan Davis Roadhouse Band - playing the Horseshoe in June.Greg from Tacoma - Another first-timer, Greg has been a Hip devotee since he heard them on the radio in 1989 - or thought he did, until he spent two years believing the song was NRBQ. His go-to record is "In Between Evolution," and Tacoma is name-checked in the 'Tacoma Narrows Bridge' lyric, which he notes with appropriate pride. He put a record out at 60. He is in the Tacoma, Washington area and has a crew of five who all attend Hip shows and all play in bands at least partially influenced by The Hip.Links & ResourcesSubmit to podList 7 - covers from The Tragically Hip EP through Day for Night: podlist.tthpods.comAn Evening for Sara J - Saturday, April 11, Firkin on Yonge, Toronto: tickets.tthpods.comDiscovering Downie (referenced by Kirk): available on all podcast platformsKirk Lane Music: Facebook and Instagram https://hadeesmarket.bandcamp.com/album/missives-at-the-turnhttps://www.youtube.com/@HadeesMarketTimestamps00:00 - Pre-show promo: Joe from Forever Hip on An Evening for Sara J 01:37 - jD opens The Tragically Hip On Shuffle 02:27 - Introducing Kirk from Chino, Mike from Toronto, Greg from Tacoma 04:32 - Go-to Hip records: "Live Between Us," "In Between Evolution," "Day for Night" 09:05 - Mike's Horseshoe stories - from '87 to the Day for Night surprise show 12:26 - The reveal: tonight's song is 'Train Overnight' from "Music @ Work" 16:32 - Panel reacts after listening 17:02 - Greg on the Gordism nugget - apologizing like an old dictator might 23:51 - Mike: was "Music @ Work" a chapter closing or a door opening? 27:40 - The zero-votes revelation: only five songs in the entire catalogue 31:52 - Kirk saw it live.

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: 'Vapour Trails'Episode Date: March 19, 2026Panel: Ryan from Toronto • Patrick from Toronto • Adam from TampaIntroThere's nothing uglier than a man hitting his stride - and there's nothing better than a panel that doesn't agree on what that line even means.This week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle, jD pulled ‘Vapour Trails' from “Phantom Power” - track eight of twelve from The Tragically Hip's sixth studio record, produced by Steve Berlin, recorded at The Bathhouse in Bath, Ontario, and released July 14, 1998. It was a promo CD single that never got a video. It ranked #72 on the TTHTop40 Countdown. And for a song that lives in the shadow of ‘Bobcaygeon' and ‘Poets' on the same record, it had absolutely no problem holding its own for an hour of live discussion.So there's that.About This Episode‘Vapour Trails' is a road song. Or a loneliness song. Or a song about Gord watching Mexican farmworkers from a highway somewhere in rural Ontario and being moved enough to write it down. It might be all three at once - which is, of course, exactly how Gord Downie worked.jD is joined this week by Ryan from Toronto - a first-timer on the show and a veteran podcaster whose ear for music analysis makes itself known immediately - alongside returning panelists Patrick from Toronto and Adam from Tampa, both of whom came loaded with research, opinions, and very strong feelings about the back half of the “Phantom Power” discography.What followed was one of those conversations that starts with bass and drums and ends somewhere near ephemeral, the Canadian spelling of vapour, and whether Rob Baker was playing a Rickenbacker. Coming UpNext week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle, jD hits shuffle again - and this time it landed on ‘Train Overnight.' Three new panelists. Wednesday night. 8 PM. You know the drill.An Evening for Sara JBefore you go - An Evening for Sara J is happening Saturday, April 11, 2026 at Firkin on Yonge, 207 Yonge Street, Toronto.

This episode, Colin Everett asked Hunter if they could do the classic SCTV sketch, "Garth & Gord & Fiona & Alice" (1982). Hunter said sure, so this episode is about that (and jobs! Lots of jobs!) But naturally they talk a lot about SCTV itself, its legacy, and where that legacy stands now. They also talk about the film the sketch is based on-- "Goin' Down The Road"-- which surprisingly has not been covered on this show before. Ummmm, what else.... They talk real Maritime Canadian history, specifically the "maritime migration", which occurred in the '60s, which influenced the film, which influenced the sketch. It all ties together. And Colin talks some about being from Moncton.

Fully & Completely: Redux"In Between Evolution"Hosts: jD & Greg LeGros | Guest: Toronto Mike | Fully & Completely: ReduxThe EpisodeThere are records you fall into immediately - and then there are the ones that sneak up on you. "In Between Evolution" is absolutely the second kind. The Tragically Hip's 2004 record is one of their most slept-on, most politically charged, and - depending on who you ask - one of their very best. jD and Greg LeGros dig in track by track, joined by Toronto's favourite podcast man, Toronto Mike.It's feisty. It's got punk energy. And for a record that got passed over in 2004, it holds up like an absolute bruiser. So there's that.Guest SpotlightToronto Mike from Toronto, OntarioToronto Mike is the podcaster and blogger behind torontomic.com and Toronto Miked - a fiercely independent Toronto-centric podcast that's been going longer than most people can remember. He's a passionate Hip fan who - full disclosure - once had serious plans to launch his own Tragically Hip album-by-album podcast series. He abandoned those plans specifically because jD and Greg were doing it too well. That's not spin. That's what he said on mic."I went into the podcast kind of tiny bit hoping it would suck."- Toronto Mike, on hearing Fully & Completely for the first timeWhat's In This OneA full track-by-track of "In Between Evolution" plus the cultural context of June 2004 - which, as it turns out, is a lot. Here's some of what you're getting into:Why this is probably The Tragically Hip's most overtly political record - and why it had no choice but to be (they recorded it in Seattle, surrounded by American media, one year after the U.S. went into Iraq)'Heaven Is a Better Place Today' - a tribute to Dan Snyder built on funeral clichés and sports colloquialisms that somehow makes you cry. Every time.'Summer's Killing Us' - the song Greg would play for anyone who's never heard of this band. Not even officially released as a single. Absolutely should have been.'Gus the Polar Bear from Central Park' - a slow burn. Toronto Mike did not like it at first. He's come around. We dig into why.'Vaccination Scar' - the actual lead single, and a song that gets a bit more complicated the more you think about it'It Can't Be Nashville Every Night' - the one with the la-la-oos in the chorus that should not work, and absolutely does. Possibly a Toby Keith thing. Possibly a Dixie Chicks thing. Definitely a great song.'One Night in Copenhagen' - band turmoil, Gord's solo career pulling on the seams, and that one line about a payphone in the snow that Greg still talks about'Goodnight Josephine' - the closer that sounds like late-period Springsteen and contains some of the most beautiful lyrics Gord ever put down on tapeThe Stanley Cup Final, the Grey Cup halftime show (yes, The Hip played it), a commemorative Tragically Hip CD, and how the 2004 Leafs playoff run ended a sketch troupe's road trip to LAThe Cultural Climate: June 2004Greg always brings the goods on context, and June 2004 is a rich one. "In Between Evolution" landed in the middle of a musical year that included American Idiot, College Dropout, Funeral, Hot Fuss, and Songs for the Deaf. Commercially, the charts were a very different story - Usher, Evanescence, Josh Groban, and a lot of stuff these three would rather forget. It's a great time to be a music fan if you knew where to look. This was a record that knew exactly where it was looking.Pocket SongsAt the end of every record, we each pull one track to carry forward to the playlist.jD: 'Goodnight Josephine'Greg: 'It Can't Be Nashville Every Night'Toronto Mike: 'Are We Family'Why This Record MattersBecause it got slept on. Even in the band's own documentary, this one gets two seconds. And that's bananas - because it is a deep, huge favourite, and it is one of their very best. It's a hard rocker. It's a protest record. It's a record about loss, and change, and what happens when the things you love don't get to stay the same. It's the most guitar-forward record they ever made, and it has the audacity to rhyme its chorus with la-la-oos.Spend time with this album. This album is waiting for you.About Fully & Completely: ReduxFully & Completely: Redux is the reunion of the original Fully & Completely podcast - the show that started it all in 2018. jD and Greg LeGros go back through The Tragically Hip's full catalogue, album by album, track by track.

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: 'We Want To Be It'Hey, it's jD here.Every once in a while, the shuffle lands on a song that feels like it found you on purpose. This was one of those weeks.'We Want To Be It' - track four off "Now For Plan A" - doesn't get talked about the way'Bobcaygeon' does. It doesn't get the bar rock reverence of the early records. But spend a week with it, really spend a week with it, and something starts to happen. Layers. Lots of them.This week, jD is joined by Steph from Winnipeg, Andrew from Tampa, and Tyler from Etobicoke for what turned into one of the more surprising discussions the show has had. The song is three minutes and twenty-nine seconds. The conversation ran nearly an hour. That ratio should tell you everything.We dig into what "Now For Plan A" actually is as a record - the shortest album in The Hip's catalog, a band quietly fracturing while somehow still playing out of their minds, produced by Gavin Brown under conditions that, as Tyler points out, sound a lot like band therapy. Andrew came in with ten shows under his belt from that tour. Tyler revisited the record for the first time in years and kept finding new things. Steph brought the kind of insight that makes you stop mid-sentence and say yes, exactly that.And then there's the drip, drip, drip.Is the song about Laura Downie? About the band itself? About wanting to dissolve into the music instead of having to manufacture it over and over? Tyler brings a genuinely hot take - sourced from an Alan Gregg interview on Toronto Mike's podcast and Michael Barclay's book - that reframes the whole thing. Andrew adds the Alan Arkin connection Gord himself referenced in early live intros of the song. And jD talks about the three layers of crust this song has developed for him personally over the years.It's a choose your own adventure lyric written by a guy who never gave you the map. That's the feature. Big thanks to Steph, Andrew, and Tyler for bringing the goods on this one. Next week, we hit shuffle again - no idea what's coming, and that's exactly the point.From Our Guests"I'm in season three of Pocket Full of Mojo - wherever you enjoy your podcasts.

Nick Kypreos and guest host Gord Stellick are joined by former NHL president, general manager and head coach Doug MacLean (1:31) to discuss Radko Gudas' knee-on-knee collision with Auston Matthews, how Leafs' GM Brad Treliving can rectify the losing season, Detroit Red Wings' slide, why the Edmonton Oilers can't rely on just Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to help them win a Stanley Cup, how he would rebuild a team through the draft, and which teams could sneak into a post-season spot. Then, Nick, Gord and Sam McKee weigh in on the NHL Global Series shifting to Germany in December for the 2026-27 season, if fans saw the last game with Matthews in a Leafs jersey, and Connor McDavid dropping the gloves against the Dallas Stars.

The Tragically Hip On ShuffleThis week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle, we pull “At Transformation” from Now For Plan A and let it breathe.Is it about Gord Downie's wife's cancer battle? A marriage unraveling? The band's own evolution? Or something more universal — the moment when life tilts and you realize you're different now?jD is joined by Tim (Columbus), Shawn (Edmonton), and Jeff (Vaughan) for a layered, passionate, and occasionally chaotic deep dive into one of the most emotionally charged songs from the later Hip catalogue.

Fully & Completely: ReduxEpisode 104 — Fully Completely (1992)A presentation of The Tragically Hip Podcast SeriesHosted by jD and Greg LeGrosClass is officially back in session.In Episode 104, Fully & Completely returns as Fully & Completely: Redux — our weekly, album-by-album wander through the studio catalogue of The Tragically Hip.This week: Fully Completely (1992). The one that didn't just kick the door down — it blew the whole damn car up.And because this is Redux, you get it in two parts:First, a short present-day catch-up with jD and Greg — sitting in the “easy chairs by the fireplace” version of adulthood — reminiscing about what this record felt like then, what it feels like now, and why it still hits like a masterclass.Then we drop into the classic Fully & Completely episode, now re-edited, re-mixed, and re-mastered — the same deep dive, but cleaned up, tightened up, and sounding better in your headphones.From the jump, the conversation is rooted in why this album became a cultural object in Canada: six singles, nonstop video rotation, and that feeling that you couldn't escape it — even if you tried. Not because of CanCon. Because people wanted it.We get into why Locked in the Trunk of a Car is such a strange (and perfect) lead single, the confidence of a band shifting from “beloved” to “the band,” and how the record meant to help crack America ended up being, arguably, their most Canadian statement up to that point.Along the way: 1992 as a time capsule (good, bad, and bananas), the shifting musical landscape, and how Gord's writing starts leaning harder into Canadian stories, mythology, and history — without turning into novelty.It's huge. It's dusty. It's intense.And it still holds up top to bottom.In This EpisodeThe Redux intro: jD + Greg reunite, reminisce, and talk about how this record lands nowWhy Fully Completely felt unavoidable in Canada (six singles, constant rotation)1992 as a time capsule — culture, headlines, and a wildly stacked year in musicThe jump in sound: new producer, bigger rooms, bigger ambition, bigger “world stage” vibeThe American push that got pulled after two weeks — and what that meantGord's shift into Canada-as-myth + Canada-as-story songwritingParty guitars, campfires, and why we all somehow still know that songTrack-by-track highlights including:Courage and the Hugh MacLennan connectionLocked in the Trunk of a Car and the bootleg “bonus for the nerds”At the Hundredth Meridian as a national singalong momentWheat Kings as the great Canadian makeout song you probably shouldn't make out toDeep cuts love for Eldorado and the title track's intensityAlbum DiscussedFully Completely (1992)Produced by Chris TsangaridesSix singles.

Every Wednesday night at 8pm ET, we spin the wheel and land on one randomly selected Tragically Hip song — then we discuss, debate, and dissect it with three panelists and a very opinionated live chat.This week, the wheel landed on “Leave” from In Violet Light (2002) — and we got into the groove, the two-part structure, Gord's bird-heavy storytelling, and where this track sits in the album's pacing (aka: the unsung bridge between heavy hitters).Next week's random pick: “Wild Mountain Honey” from Music @ Work.This Week's SongSong: “Leave”Album: In Violet Light (2002)Producer: Hugh PadghamFormat: Live panel + chat discussion (one song, one hour, no wrong takes)PanelistsAndrew (Winnipeg)Patrick (Toronto)Craig (Langley) (also plays in the Hip tribute band Gift Shop)What We Talk About (Highlights)Album “go-to” picks right now: World Container, In Violet Light, and We Are the SameWhy “Leave” feels like an album track / deep cut — and why that's not an insultThe band's groove (Sinclair + Fay love all over this one)The song's structure: essentially two halves instead of a standard verse/chorus/bridge patternLyrical rabbit holes: quotes, birds talking to birds, and that killer line: “How do we learn to hurt?” (discussed, not solved — because Gord)Live history note from the panel: “Leave” appears to have been played live only a handful of times (per setlist research mentioned on the stream)Chat check-in: one-word reactions and a great listener description of the track as a “start the day” song — gentle, moving, pointed but laid backTimeline (from the stream transcript)[0:38] jD sets the table: the On Shuffle format + “no wrong takes”[1:47] Introductions: Andrew (Winnipeg), Craig (Langley), Patrick (Toronto)[3:36] “Go-to Hip record right now” discussion[10:43] Song discussion begins: first impressions + where “Leave” fits[18:31] Music deep-dive: groove, dynamics, structure (two-part feel)[24:09] The “birds” thread expands (and yes, people noticed)[35:31] Live-performance chat + setlist mention[48:09] Wheel spin: next week's song is “Wild Mountain Honey”[49:54] Panelist plugs + shoutouts[53:01] Breadcrumbs teased for upcoming stuff + community reminderNext Week

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle — “You're Everywhere” (In Between Evolution)Episode SummaryWelcome to the very first episode of The Tragically Hip On Shuffle — a weekly live-streamed conversation where host jD and a rotating panel of fans spin the wheel, land on one randomly selected Tragically Hip song, and discuss, debate, and dissect it from every angle: lyrics, themes, musicality, album context, and the personal connection that makes Hip fandom feel like home.For the premiere episode, the shuffle lands on “You're Everywhere” from In Between Evolution (2004) — a loud, sharp, post-9/11-era record produced by Adam Kasper that captures The Tragically Hip in full rock-and-roll form. From the opening riff to the vocal urgency in the chorus, this track becomes the perfect test case for what this series is all about: thoughtful takes, layered interpretations, and the shared realization that there's rarely one “right answer” in Gord Downie's writing.Panelists this week include:Tim (Columbus, Ohio) — co-host of the long-running music podcast Dig Me Out, and a proud defender of deep cutsRyan (Victoria, BC) — frontman of Nautical Disaster, a Tragically Hip tribute band, with a vocalist's ear for emotional deliveryJustin (Vermont) — longtime Hip fan and Discovering Downie alum, bringing album-level context and a sharp eye for lyrical subtextTogether, the panel explores why “You're Everywhere” feels both deeply personal and uncomfortably political, how In Between Evolution balances big guitars with uneasy undercurrents, and why this song—despite being lesser-played live—hits with the kind of emotional pressure that grows louder the longer you sit with it.And yes: the episode also features the first official On Shuffle tech gremlin moment, a brief detour to the green-room snack table, and a laminated birthday card signed “No.” So there's that.In This EpisodeThe On Shuffle format: one random Hip song, one hour, zero forced takesFirst impressions of “You're Everywhere” and why the groove is deceptively simpleThe vocals: urgency, desperation, and that “live-in-the-can” feelLyrics + themes: layered meaning, media saturation, democracy, identity, and memoryThe line “when I reel my Irish in” — and why it can mean 10 different thingsAlbum context: where “You're Everywhere” sits in the In Between Evolution tracklist and why it works as a centerpieceRare live sightings: an early “workshopping” version with a different working title and lyricsProducer talk: Adam Kasper (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden connections) and how the Hip chose heavyweight producers across erasThe show's mission: The Hip as refuge, ritual, and community hangKey Quotes“There are no wrong opinions. There are no wrong takes. But my hope is there will always be a moment.”“It's a simple song structure… but it's how they play it.”“Gord layers ideas — the subtext can run through the entire album.”Featured Song“You're Everywhere” — The Tragically HipAlbum: In Between Evolution (2004)Next Week on The Tragically Hip On ShuffleThe shuffle chooses the next track live at the end of the episode.Next episode song: “Leave” from In Violet Light

Fully & Completely: ReduxEpisode 102 — Up To Here (1989)A presentation of The Tragically Hip Podcast SeriesHosted by jD and Greg LeGrosIf Episode 101 was the band trying to get hired, Up To Here is the band showing up like: we're already the headliners, you just don't know it yet.Released in September 1989, The Tragically Hip's first full-length LP is the moment where the sweat and swagger of the EP turns into something sturdier — a vibe, a sound, an identity. This is the record that made the country start paying attention in a different way. Not “hey, that bar band is pretty good,” but “oh… this is our band.”We set the scene: Mulroney still running the country, the first Grey Cup at the SkyDome (and yes, the Rough Riders/Roughriders nonsense is as chaotic as it sounds), and a pop-heavy musical world where Repeat Offender, Milli Vanilli, Paula Abdul, and even Dr. Feelgood are moving units like it's a national sport. Meanwhile, the underground is brewing — Sonic Youth, the weirdos starting to kick the door open — and out of Kingston comes this bluesy, barroom, don't-overthink-it-just-turn-it-up record that somehow becomes a diamond-certified Canadian classic.We talk about why Up To Here connects with everybody — the Queens Pub crowd, the farm-town beer crowd, the “I only know four Hip songs but I know them perfectly” crowd — and how certain tracks became bigger than the band itself. There's a whole New Orleans is Sinking tangent involving Crown Royal, Lake Ontario, and one of the most wholesome cross-cultural Canadian moments imaginable.This album is loaded. Side A is basically a greatest hits package. But we also dig into the deeper stuff: the early emergence of Gord's strange, slippery cadence; the way the band's confidence jumps from the EP to this like it got shot out of a cannon; and the idea that every Hip album has at least one track that quietly points at what comes next.Up To Here is where the lesson plan gets real.In This EpisodeThe cultural and musical landscape of 1989 (Mulroney, pop domination, the underground brewing)Why Up To Here hit everywhere in Canada — bars, cottages, dorms, and car stereosThe leap in identity from the EP to a full-on signature sound“New Orleans is Sinking” as a national anthem (and as a live-performance launchpad)Gord Downie's early “how-the-hell-do-you-sing-that” cadence taking shape (“38 Years Old”)The record's “top-heavy” track sequencing — and why it worksDeep-cut advocacy hour: “Every Time You Go” gets its flowersThe “DNA track” theory: one song per album that hints at the next recordListener callout: What's your Up To Here moment?Album DiscussedUp To Here (1989)Produced by Don SmithA barroom-recorded, road-tested, diamond-certified cornerstone.Time Capsule TracksjD's pick: 38 Years OldGreg's pick: OpiatedWhat's NextNext week, we keep moving — and you can already feel the band getting sharper, stranger, and more themselves. The evolution is in motion.Listen & SubscribeFully & Completely: Redux is available wherever you get your podcasts.
