Ignored 141: Up to Here by the Tragically Hip
In Podcast on April 18, 2017 at 2:07 am
Season Two of the Completely Ignored Podcast wraps with a chat about iconic Canadian classic rock heroes the Tragically Hip and their 1989 debut full-length Up to Here. Where to even start with this band? Well, we try to compare them to R.E.M., the Black Crowes, Pearl Jam and the Dave Matthews Band. It kinda works. It kinda doesn’t. We also ponder what it meant when Gord Downie started strumming an accoustic guitar in 1996 and whether those two “other guys” in the Jeff Healey Band were twins. We also discuss how music and media worlds collided in a sad but fairly touching way during the Tragically Hip’s victory lap in the summer of 2016. The episode wraps with a quick chat about Gorillaz, the varied brilliance of Damon Albarn and finally, Canadian cartoon rockers Prozzäk.
