The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: Country DayOne random shuffle lands on the last song on "We Are the Same," and the panel ends up arguing about Bob Rock, Canada Day, and whether Gord wrote a love letter to his producer.Episode Summary On this week's The Tragically Hip On Shuffle live stream, jD and the panel pull 'Country Day', the closing track from 2009's "We Are the Same," and dig into one of the most debated records in the catalogue. The conversation circles the Bob Rock production question first: the smooth backing vocals, the strings, the sense that the band got pushed to the edges of their own album. From there it opens up into three competing readings of the song itself. One hears a straight-up love story. One builds a detailed Indigenous and Canada Day interpretation, rooted in life beside the Alderville First Nation. One reads the whole thing as a coded note from Gord Downie to Bob Rock, threaded through to 'Something More' on "Lustre Parfait." Along the way the group gets into Gord's live vocal in the aired Artpark performance, the band's later run through "Now for Plan A" and "Man Machine Poem," and why a record some fans skip rewards the people who stay. It is a fan-first look at Tragically Hip song meanings, the kind of close listening this community does best. The episode closes with poll results, a spin for next week, and the full version of 'Last of the Unplugged Gems' on the way out.GuestsMike from Haslett, Michigan. A restaurant owner who found The Tragically Hip through a 1996 newspaper clipping his dad mailed him, started at "Day for Night," and has been to 20-plus shows. He hears 'Country Day' as a love song tied to meeting his wife.Jeff from Belleville, Ontario. Lives right beside the Alderville First Nation, which anchors his reading of the song's Indigenous and Canada Day threads. This is his second pass at a track from "We Are the Same" on the show.Greg from Tacoma, Washington. The panel's resident music guy and the one who sourced the live version aired on the episode. Calls "We Are the Same" his least favourite Hip record, then makes the case for why this song still kicks.Resources, Links, and References'Country Day' live, sourced by Greg from Tacoma: Artpark, Lewiston, New York, June 4, 2009.

The takeaway lands where the best of these conversations always do: a record some fans wrote off turns out to be full of beauty for anyone willing to sit with it. Next week the shuffle points at 'Yawning or Snarling' from "Day for Night," so there is plenty more to get after.Promos and CrosslinksRelated: the panel's earlier On Shuffle take on 'Honey, Please' from "We Are the Same."The Hip Compendium, the free fan archive of the full discography, lyrics, and mapped live shows, at compendium.tthpods.com.Social and Community Facebook group: community.tthpods.com | Instagram: @tthpods | YouTube: youtube.com/@tthpods | Email: jd@tthpods.com#WeAreTheSame #TheTragicallyHip #GordDownie #TheHip #TTHOnShuffle #DayForNightAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

While films had been made to promote music dating back to at least the 1960s, the music video became a fixture of pop culture in the 1980s. Accelerated by the birth of MTV, MuchMusic, and VH1, music videos in the 80s experienced extraordinary growth in both popularity and artistic creativity. The decade would produce countless iconic music videos, giving renowned artists a second shot at relevancy, launching a whole new wave of aesthetically minded pop stars, and providing unlikely artists a shot at ubiquity with wild conceptual videos. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best 1980s Music Video!Videos discussed: “Take On Me” by A-HA!; “Thriller” by Michael Jackson; “Like a Prayer” by Madonna”; “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel; “Love Shack” by The B-52s; “Addicted to Love” by Robert Palmer; “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper; “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon; “Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits; “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran; “When Doves Cry” by Prince; “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles; “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)” by Beastie Boys; “Faith” by George Michael; “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitey Houston; “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie TylerJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Derek Mekita, John Higgins, and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of the most iconic music videos that defined 80s airwaves.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional 1980s videos that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

The music video didn't just shape pop culture…it defined it. From the glam‑soaked excess of the '80s and '90s to the gritty authenticity of the alt‑rock era, and finally to the algorithm‑driven, globally connected internet age, the music video has lived many lives. In part two of this deep dive, we trace the rise, collapse, and surprising rebirth of the music video that once ruled MTV and MuchMusic. We look at the groundbreaking work of directors like Spike Jonze, the multimillion‑dollar spectacles of superstars like Madonna and Michael Jackson, and the moment YouTube and smartphones permanently rewired how we watch, and make, music videos. From Pearl Jam's refusal to play the game, to viral sensations like OK Go, to the billion‑view world of K‑pop and global micro‑scenes, we discover that the music video isn't dead. It escaped television. And it's thriving. This is Part 2 of the Rise and Fall and Future of the Music Video. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Hello friends. I'm back at it again for a special interview sesh on Graventown. To quote the great Toronto Mike: “If you grew up with MuchMusic, you understand the impact the VJs had on your life. Bill Welychka was one of the greats. We're blessed with inside access to the life and times of Bill, who it turns out is much more than a beloved VJ. He's a beloved human being.” That's what Toronto Mike had to say about Bill's latest memoir called "A Happy Has Been" - chronicling the life of the renowned Muchmusic broadcaster and his many brushes with musical and cultural fame in a very up close and personal format. We had a great and honest chat (and even got into his short wrestling career!) and I hope you Graventowners dig in with hungry ears.My new album "Geographics" is releasing (on my Bandcamp page only) through late January into late February 2026, and every Monday and Friday of those months, I'll have a new song up for you to digest into your ear canals. You can preorder the digital, cd and vinyl versions of the album, (which helps me greatly) but I understand that cash is tight all over the map, so you can also order a five dollar Geographics sticker. 5 beans! This album is really special to me (as my friends Melissa Payne and Charles Austin played all over it) and I hope you'll come along for the supersonic ride. Follow me @gravencanada on all the socials, and check my website to see when I'm playing live in a town near you. Join Graventown today to support yours truly for only 8 clams a month.

I remember being a kid in Swift Current being glued to the television when the Kinsmen Telemiracle fundraiser was on across the province. I would get my parents' permission to call and make a donation to the fundraiser and then wait for hours for my name to slowly crawl across the bottom of the screen. It was such a big deal to see my name on television, even it lasted for just a few seconds and was quickly followed by someone else donating from Moose Jaw, Enfold or Frontier. Telemiracle is woven into the fabric of our province. For the past 50 years, people have picked up their phones and made a donation that would help someone in medical need purchase a piece of equipment or receive financial support that would help them get the care they need. We did an episode in Season Six highlighting Telemiracle's work and taking listeners behind the scenes to discover the work it takes to run the fundraiser, and it's definitely worth a listen. Telemiracle turns 50 this weekend and it is pulling out all the stops to mark this milestone. One of the many talented hosts is someone who I have looked up ever since I first saw him on MuchMusic. That would be George Stroumboulopoulos. I first met George in 2011 at a taping of his CBC Television show, The Hour. It was a quick chat after his show and I was struck by his kindness and how he listened patiently to my questions after taping the show. I remained a fan over the years as he did all the things on television, radio and social media, and it was a thrill to meet him again last October when he spoke at Saskatoon's MemoFest. In fact, George came to Sherbrooke Community Centre, where I am the Communications Leader, for a tour of our long-term care home. It was an amazing afternoon as he met a host of residents and staff and listened to how our organization has worked hard for decades to provide residents with full and abundant life. George also took a lot of photos with residents, staff and even some of our animals! The picture for this episode is of George sitting by Sherbrooke's Aviary. The birds loved him! Flash forward a few months, and I reached out to George via Instagram when I saw he was in Saskatoon for Telemiracle. I wished him luck and told him how lucky we were to have him back in the city. He wrote back and said, "you gonna have me on the podcast? Haha." Ahhh...yes! 17 hours later, I met George at his hotel and we sat down for a conversation about how he became involved with Kinsmen Telemiracle and why this provincial fundraiser struck a chord with him. It is always a privilege speaking with George because he is in the moment with you...he listens...and I think that's something all of us could do a better job of these days, myself included! I hope you enjoy our conversation, and a big thank you to George for taking time out of his insanely busy schedule to speak with me on the podcast. Best of luck on the fundraiser this weekend, George, and safe travels home. Enjoy that diner meal in the desert!

The Vancouver personality, born John Ruskin, is among 80 appointees announced on Wednesday, Unlike most of them, the 57-year-old will be inducted under his stage name, "Nardwuar, the Human Serviette," a rare exception for one of Canada's highest honours that meets the spirit of his off-the-wall personality. For the uninitiated, Nardwuar might be described as a Canadian enigma who gradually invaded pop culture over several decades, propelled by his interviews, which all finish with his trademark phrase "Doot doola doot doo...doot doo." David Friend, Canadian Press I've had the pleasure of knowing Nardwuar since his high school days in West Van. He and Craig Northey would be the first to knock on my front door on Halloween. Looking for record handouts instead of candy. During my years at Much Music as host/producer of MuchWest, great cameraman Jay Mirus and I would always be running into Nardwar. Usually around the concerts and soundchecks. Jay and Nard became great friends, and eventually, when I moved on, Jay became the host of MuchWest, and he asked Nardwuar to co-host. That was the first national television exposure for Nard. Now he was on a roll. He became the famous media character the World now knows. He's a guy with Nike making a skateboard shoe in his Tartan colours ,and the following week, induction into the Order of Canada. And he's not done yet. Congrats Nardwuar, and a big shout-out to Jay Mirus.

G-towners and nonfrowners; hello. Well I did tell you that I did indeed have something epic planned for the century mark episode - and I feel pretty confident to say that I delivered on that promise of Epic-iosity. My guest for episode 100 is none other Canadian and American media personality, ex CBC and Muchmusic television host, podcaster, Apple Music showrunner and all around renaissance man George Stroumboulopoulos. George and I started chatting way back during the early days of the pandemic lockdowns, when he would have me pop on his livestreams (as just some random music guy from Ottawa) and when I was doing the graventown livestream basement shows, he would kindly boost my signal and say nice things in the chat. So as you can imagine, I was thrilled to the gills to have such a busy, massively well known and loved high-octane mind in the graventown studio with me. We talked about a metric tonne of topics; music, film, comedy, the arts in general, Norm Macdonald, Kevin Hearn, Marc Maron, Tom Green, David Letterman, The Misfits, long form conversations, human connection and all kinds of golden goose dropping shiznit. I hope you enjoyed our hang. Good things, friends. Thanks for being here for such a special and very monumental episiode.Catch me in a town near you in 2025 alongside Melissa Payne, Stephen Stanley (Lowest of the Low) and many other rad artists by visiting my website to see where I'm playing. If people can hate for no reason, I can love for no reason - and I love you. Thanks for stopping by Graventown. Yer always welcome here. As a full time independent artist, you can support me by buying the Always Everthing vinyl or brand new "block heater" toque here or by joining my SUPER RAD subscription service at https://ko-fi.com/gravencanada - and remember - you're always welcome in Graventown.
Det här är berättelsen om en opolerad vansinneskvartett som revolutionerade funkrocken och som inte drog sig för att dra ner brallorna på scen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Svetten rinner längs Anthony Kiedis rygg när han kliver av scenen. Det är en söndag i juli 1983 och strippklubben Kit Kat Club i Los Angeles har nyligen börjat arrangera rockkonserter, men den här spelningen gick inte som Red hot chili Peppers hade tänkt sig. Det nya bandet har redan gjort sig kända för att vara riktigt bra live men ikväll var det som att publiken knappt såg dem, än mindre brydde sig om musiken. De verkade bara ha ögon för stripporna som dansade på scenen. Backstage får den adrenalinstinne sångaren en idé. Han tänker inte nöja sig med en halvdan spelning. Ivrigt övertalar han de andra i bandet om att de ska göra ett extranummer som publiken inte kommer att kunna strunta i.När Red Hot Chili Peppers kliver ut på scenen igen är reaktionen en helt annan. Killarna är helt nakna, sånär som varsin strumpa på kuken. Bandets ikoniska specialnummer Socks on cox är fött. Medverkande: Sofia Bergström och Freddi Ramel.Programmet är gjort av Alexandra Sannemalm sommaren 2025Producent Joanna KorbutiakExekutiv producent Lars TruedsonSlutmix Fredrik NilssonProgramledare Joanna KorbutiakP3 Musikdokumentär produceras av Tredje Statsmakten MediaLjudklippen i programmet kommer från: CBS 60 minutes, podcasten The Joe Rogan Experience, Much Music, BBC's 'Rough Guide to LA, Funky Monks, den nederländska tv-kanalen TMF9, MTW News, Super bowl 2014, Youtube-kontot Mellowship, RHCPNews och andra fankonton på Youtube.
Episode SummaryAs we close in on the Top 5, the conversations get heavier, funnier, and more personal. This week, jD welcomes Keith from Calgary—drummer, GEDfest founder, and long-haul Hip fan—for a ride through the moments that shaped his fandom. From the spark of discovery, to sweaty live-show floors that move as one, to building something new for the community with GetFest, Keith's stories capture the essence of what it means to belong to The Hip's orbit.About the GuestKeith first stumbled into The Hip through a mix of MuchMusic, Columbia House roulette, and the kind of tapes that never left your Discman. Decades later, he's still hooked—and now he's part of the engine keeping the flame alive. As the founder of GEDfest, Keith has helped create a multi-city tribute festival raising funds for cancer charities, proving that fandom can ripple outward into real impact.Why It MattersWhat starts with one song, one show, one memory—becomes a community. Keith's Hipstory is proof of how the band's catalogue doesn't just soundtrack our lives, but stitches them together with others. Whether it's a packed bar, a festival stage, or a room full of fans swapping stories, it's that shared electricity that keeps The Hip alive long after the amps are turned off.Episode HighlightsFirst sparks: the early singles and tapes that hooked a generationThe magic of the live show: when the floor moves as oneThe community connection: parallels between Hip fans and DeadheadsHow GEDfest grew into a cross-Canada event with charitable impactThe records and Gord solo cuts Keith is spinning right nowPull Quote: “It's not about us on stage—it's about the music, the memories, and how it transports people back to their own golden ages.”ClosingBig thanks to Keith from Calgary for the laughs, the memories, and the work he's doing to keep the spirit of The Hip alive through GEDfest.

Ed the Sock and Liana Kerzner cover the politically-sensitive renaming of Toronto's Dundas Square, how The Loud Left killed DEI, people who boycott thinking, why everything is so g*damn expensive and the octogenarian VTR repairman who broke Ed's perfectly fine machines - thus imperiling the digitization of hours and hours of Ed's Muchmusic content!

About a decade ago, Anjulie found huge success writing catchy pop songs that were all over Canadian radio and MuchMusic. She won a Juno Award, she was writing songs for the likes of Lady Gaga and Kelly Clarkson, and there was a bidding war between some of the biggest labels in the world who were desperate to sign her. But then, at the height of her success, Anjulie walked away from music to focus on healing some internal wounds she'd been avoiding. Now, she's re-emerged as a more centered version of herself — and with that comes a new sound and a hit single. Earlier this year, Anjulie sat down with Tom Power to share her story.

IntroWhat happens when you bond so hard with The Hip that they feel like your chosen family? This week, I'm joined by John Paul from Toronto—a lifelong fan who's seen it all, from camping trips at Guelph Lake to getting kicked out of the Phoenix. We dig deep into Song 12 on the countdown and talk about the powerful, personal connections that make this band more than just music.Episode SummaryWe cover the full arc of John Paul's fandom—from hearing those first singles on Toronto radio to buying Day for Nighton CD, obsessing over Phantom Power, and falling in love with the band's live energy. We also swap stories about unforgettable Hip shows, camping mischief, and the heartbreak of being booted out before the third song.About the GuestJohn Paul is the quintessential Toronto Hip fan: thoughtful, passionate, and a little self-deprecating. He first fell for the band thanks to classic singles and videos on MuchMusic (shout out to Gord in the Bruins sweater), and over time found himself pulled in deeper with every album.He's been to half a dozen Hip gigs (plus a solo Gord show), but his fandom is built just as much on introspection—how the band offered him a sense of family, safety, and permission to see the world through Gord's strange and beautiful eyes.Why It MattersThis episode isn't just about Song 12. It's about how The Tragically Hip can be an anchor in your life. How they can make you feel at home, even when you're homesick in Korea. How they become a mirror for your values, your memories, and your sense of who you want to be in the world.It's also about the messy side of fandom: the near-religious devotion, the gigs that changed you, the ones you missed, the ones you got kicked out of while pleading your case like a lawyer on fire.If you've ever felt like The Hip knew you before you even knew yourself, this one's going to hit close to home.ClosingHuge thanks to John Paul from Toronto for bringing so much honesty, humour, and raw fandom to this week's episode.If this week's track sparks a memory for you, share it with us! Drop a voice memo, send an email, or jump into the Facebook group and start a debate about your Top 10.We'll be back next Monday with Song 11 on the countdown. Don't miss it.So there's that.Connect with Us
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

About a decade ago, Anjulie had huge success writing catchy pop songs that were all over Canadian radio and MuchMusic. She won a Juno Award, she was writing songs for the likes of Lady Gaga and Kelly Clarkson, and there was a bidding war between some of the biggest labels in the world who were desperate to sign her. But then, at the height of her success, Anjulie walked away from her music career to focus on healing some internal wounds she'd been avoiding. Now, she's re-emerged as a more centered version of herself — and with that comes a new sound and a hit single. Anjulie sits down with Tom Power to share her story. If you like this conversation, take a listen to Tom's chat with pop singer JoJo on her experience as a child star.
