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 Sunday Evening Jam: Misheard Lyrics, Milestones, and Music That MattersWhat happens when wildfire smoke, dogwood fluff, and satellite Hip hits collide? 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

Cliff Notez has already earned a reputation as a brilliant and thoughtful singer and songwriter, having won Best New Artist at the Boston Music Awards in 2018 and just one year later being named Best Musician by “Boston” magazine in its 2019 Best of Boston roundup. He is moreover a visual artist, a budding filmmaker and a producer. He co-founded the Boston-based media production company HipStory that is “dedicated to centering marginalized identities in media through music and film,” and if that weren’t enough, he also teaches songwriting and music-production at Berklee College of Music and marketing at Emerson College. In this interview with Pier Carlo Talenti, Cliff reveals how being nakedly honest in his art has been a double-edged sword in his leadership journey and why pop icons Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder remain leadership paragons for any artist leader to emulate.
