Muzac For Munsters

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

I queued-up my entire Hip collection on the server this past week: essentially their entire catalogue minus the first album, and the last two. It has been a good listen. I'd forgotten about lots of tunes that I really like. I admire the Hip for finding an initial style but not rehashing it album after album. They continued to develop which meant they lost some fans along the way but probably gained some new ones, too. Music is always polarizing - probably even more so than politics. It doesn't surprise me that not everyone liked them, but they worked for me.

The middle period I liked

Road Apples,'Fully Completely, Day For Night, Troubke at the Hen House, Phantom

But I stopped listening to them after that although I still turned them up if any songs from that time came on the radio

Fave songs

Courage
Poets
Little Bones
Grace, too

The new Jeff Beck album Hail Louder is quite decent. His collaboration with a few female singer/songwriters is a
Nice touch

Lol, can't say I'm a huge Downie fan either.

The Hip are not my cup of tea, used to like them somewhat, not so much anymore

All good songs.
Also Bobcaygeon, Wheat Kings, 50 Misson Cap, So Hard Done By, Blow at High Dough, Fireworks. I loved the Hip from the late 80s to the early 2000s. They haven't really done anything I've liked in the last ten years. Gordie is a proud Canadian.

Took in the Tom Petty show last night. It was a great show and well worth the 100$ per ticket I shelled out. Now the 9$ beers are a bit pricey, but it was a tight show. The old guy can still bring it.
