The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song Twenty-Seven - Ian from Maple Ridge Apr 07, 2025

Show notes

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song 27 — Ian from Maple RidgeHey, it’s jD — and this week, we’re heading westward again, this time to beautiful British Columbia to meet a guy who’s literally flying the flag. Meet Ian from Maple Ridge, frontman for Gift Shop — a Tragically Hip tribute band that’s more reverent than replica and more real than cosplay. We talk music, meaning, the magic of tribute done right, and how this band became a spiritual sidecar to Ian’s own life.But don’t get it twisted — this episode isn’t a promo for his band. It’s a damn good conversation about why people give so much of themselves to keep the music alive. Ian doesn’t play Gord — he channels him. And you’ll feel that. Whether he’s talking about botched breakups, cassette tapes, or that time Gord blew off a fan request with the most legendary “all the way, huh?” ever uttered… this one’s loaded with resonance.Inside, we get into:The girl who handed him The Hip’s debut cassette the night before he meant to break up with herThe late-night listening parties where Music @ Work became a secret religionHis take on tribute bands, authenticity, and “channeling without impersonating”The elusive beauty of Flamenco, and why it might just be the band’s most “graceful” left turn🎙️ Next week, we head to Federal Way, Washington to meet Alan, whose Hip journey began with a grainy SNL performance and who once yelled at StubHub in public over concert tickets. It’s a ride — and it’s one you won’t want to miss.💬 Pull Quote“The best art doesn’t explain itself — it moves you. And Gord knew that better than anyone.”👤 About Our GuestIan from Maple Ridge is a lifelong Hiphead, original songwriter, and frontman of Gift Shop, a tribute band based in BC. He’s part poet, part showman, and 100% committed to honouring Gord Downie’s legacy with humility, humanity, and volume.Check out the band: giftshophipband.ca🧾 Support the ShowLove what we’re doing?

Oh, it'sfile:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20614.htmlPage 1 of 11The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown2025-05-24, 8:50 AMlovely to have you here. And we're going to get into what you do in your extracurriculars as wemove through this conversation. But why don't we start at the start and hear your TTH origin story?[2:54] Oh, certainly. Well, I've been a fan of music my whole life. My family immigrated here fromIreland. I was the only one born in Canada, and music was a big part of my life growing up.[3:15] Some of my earliest memories are singing along to Beatles or Rolling Stone albums, playinga tennis racket guitar, and dreaming of being on stage. And, um, so I always, uh, listen to music. Ialways tried to keep up on music. I'm a child of the eighties. I, and, uh, I, um, I, um, you know was anew wave kid a punk rock kid i listened to everything that was new and had a real appetite for livemusic and listening to as much as i could.[3:56] The first song i ever heard of the tragically hip i'm sure was last american exit and i'm sure isaw it on much music back in the day oh when we were watching that voraciously but the, My hipstory, how I was introduced to the band, is one that I'll share with you, but I can feel all my friendsand bandmates rolling their eyes virtually as I tell this story yet again.[4:25] It's a bit worn and frayed, but the story goes, I was dating a girl, and she was lovely, but i wasa young man and um you know idiosyncrasies bothered us more than they should have been then iguess and i uh i i'd had enough and i wanted to end it and, all my friends were tired of hearing meincluding uh my best friend at the time craig brown who plays bass in our band right now but he uhhe was tired of me complaining and and putting it off and whining and, and I didn't have thecourage to, to, you know, end it, but I wanted to be kind. And, um, so finally he's like, listen, I don'twant to hear about this anymore. Like either shut up or do what needs to be done. And I hadresolved that that night I was going to break up with my girlfriend. She had been out the nightbefore. This is, uh, in, uh, 88 we're talking about. And, um, Thank you.[5:39] We met, and I was stealing myself to, I'm sorry, we're going to have to, we have something Ihave to talk about. And she said, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, that's fine. But before I do, I justwant to tell you, because I know you love music so much. I went out to the town pump last night,and I saw this amazing band, and I immediately thought of you. I knew you would love it. And Ibought you their EP. and she hands me the Tragically Hips self-titled EP on cassette. That's howold I am. And I'm like, well, that was very thoughtful.[6:18] I guess we're going to have to meet again tomorrow night. So I have to delay it a little bit. Butshe was the one that introduced me to the band and I just ate it up. And I've been following themever since. I've been a huge fan ever since. And every single album we bought as soon asfile:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20614.htmlPage 2 of 11The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown2025-05-24, 8:50 AMpossible. We used to have listening parties, would go through it song by song. And at the time, Iwas singing and a lyricist in local bands. And we took a bit of a swing for the fences. We neverreally made it, but we made some progress. We had a manager. We put out a couple of CDs. Weplayed North by Northeast. We did what we could.[7:10] And when I was writing lyrics or we were writing songs together, I would always hold Gordand his poetry up as the bar. We didn't sound anything like the hip but um i would look at what iwrote and and say you know would gord think this is crap or would he be would he give a grudgingnod of approval kind of thing you know um so yeah i've been uh i've been a huge fan ever sinceand uh and i continue to be you know and thank you for everything that you do and the the podcastright back to fully completely and then uh getting hip to the hip it really reignited um.[7:59] That flame in me and and uh discovering downy you know i was one of those hip fans thatlistened to a few songs off of coke machine glow and kind of almost felt protective of the band ohgorge's going out on his own what is he doing this perfect group and they're all supposed to befamily and friends like why is he you know so heard a few songs and just kind of dismissed it butum.[8:23] Went back and really discovered that along with you guys and and your analysis was just sospot on i just really enjoyed it so thank you oh that means so much hey we're just flying the flagright that's what we're doing absolutely yeah so you bought the records as they came out i want tohear more about this listening party aspect well uh as i said at the time i was in uh an original bandwe started as a cover band and we played wheat kings and fiddlers green and stuff like that.[9:00] But you know a myriad of of songs that were popular on the radio like you do and um but theHip, as I said, was always the bar that we strived to at least make proud. And an album wouldcome out regardless. It wasn't always in one spot or whatever, but our group of friends, includingbandmates, we would buy the album and we'd sit down and have a few drinks and have a fewother things and listen to the album. And little will and elson that's right and um and then discussyou know and that you know some of those were in my buddy's basement some of them were wewere we would camp often um and play, uh music up in the okanagan in british columbia herethat's a beautiful area to do so in the summer and um it was just always an event and it was alwayssomething to look forward to and, so often you.[10:13] The feelings we had on our first listen would change drastically after the 5th or 10th or 12thor 15th listen, you know, as they do, you know. But, yeah, those were good times and something Imiss.file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20614.htmlPage 3 of 11The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown2025-05-24, 8:50 AM[10:35] Yeah there's something about the 20s right or our 20s you know where you just uh it was justa magical time for music you know you didn't really have a ton of responsibility you had a little bit ofscratch finally in your pocket you know a little bit but uh yeah you sort of started making your wayand carving out who your you know real true friends are and listening to just great fucking musictogether yeah and i think sometimes you know it was discussed in the in the documentary and inthe book and amongst hip fans you know there seems to be a divide between uh early, bar rock hipfans and later um art rock maybe like it's more arty yeah yeah and and you know the Bob Rockstuff and the, and, uh, you know, now for plan a and, and man machine there, there always seemsto be a divide that, you know, there's some people who are like, well, I liked the first three albumsand then other people who are, I liked the last three albums or whatever. And I think maybe someof that is, you know, it reminds you of your youth and, and that carefreeness and that, uh, youknow, the songs that were really the soundtrack of her life at that time, you know? Absolutely. But I,uh, I found so much...[11:59] To feed from from every album and uh i would consider myself more of a b-side kind of guywhere the songs that played on the radio i appreciate and continue to appreciate but the songs thatreally moved me were the songs that no one else really heard very often you know right or they iwas and and and that's the genius of gourd too is he allows you to breathe within his lyrics thewhole idea of trying to decipher what he's talking about um i try to stay away from too much umbecause the best lyricist the best poetry the best art in general, moves you it it creates emotion itcauses you to feel something but i think if the artist were to come right out and then black and whitesay no it's not about what you're feeling it's it's about what I was feeling at this moment in this time,this is how I dealt with this problem.[13:01] Then it robs you of that, right? And so I know that Gord, in many interviews, people wouldask him, what does pigeon camera mean? And he'd say, what does it mean to you? And he allowsyou to live in that. I think it means this. I think it means that. And Gord would say, yes, it does, ifthat's how you feel about it, right? But it's vague enough that we can put our own interpretation to it.And to me, that's absolute genius.[13:32] There's no doubt about it. There's no doubt about it. And the band around was so tight andso musical and able to sort of weave in and out of his melodies and lyrical rants and whatnot. Now,Ian, we buried the lead here a little bit because you are the lead vocalist. You are the gourd in a hittribute band named Gift Shop out of British Columbia that is taking the scene by storm. And I'mreally glad to hear that because I've seen you live and I think you're great. Talk to me about whenyou made the pivot to completely and fully embrace The Tragically Hip as a tribute.file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20614.htmlPage 4 of 11The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown2025-05-24, 8:50 AM[14:23] Well, as I said, I started with... Learning how to play music, all of us did in a cover band. Andthen we went to writing our own music. And then, much like you want to use a Canadian analogy.[14:47] When does a hockey player say, I'm not getting to the show, right? When do you practiceand you train and you work out and you dream, And then there comes a time, whether it's 17 or 22or whatever age it is, where you say, okay, I'm not going to be able to make it to the show. I'm notgoing to be the next U2 or whatever. What do you do? Do you hang up the skates and never do itagain? Or do you form a band with your buddies and have a few beers and have some fun and talkabout the old days and what could have been kind of thing? Music to me now is, it's the thing that Ido solely for myself. I'm a husband, I'm a father, I'm a grandfather, and I'm a business owner. I haveresponsibilities all around me, but music is just for me. I'm thinking about myself and mybandmates. It's a purely selfish endeavor.[16:00] After the original music, it was apparent that we weren't going to get signed or we weren'tgood enough or whatever the reason was. I floated around and did a few different cover bands andenjoyed all of them and I.[16:21] Years had gone by, and two of the band members from my first original band, Craig Brownon bass guitar, Corey Davis on drums, that band right out of high school, we had kind of lost touch,hadn't talked to each other in a while, and we bumped into each other and started talking and said,hey, we should get a band together. And I was in a couple of bands at the time and wasn't reallyhappy with the directions that we were going or annoyed at the lack of enthusiasm from other bandmembers or whatever the case was. And they said, would you be interested? And I said, I wouldlove to. and uh cory our drummer suggested all along that we should do a tragically hip tributebecause.[17:15] When we did hip songs back in…

Sunday Evening Jam - March 30 Apr 05, 2025

Show notes

🎸 The Sunday Evening Jam – March 30, 2025

Hosts: jD & Sara J

Special Guest: Jeff Tucker

This week’s jam was packed with stories, laughs, music geekery, and a little sun from the Dominican Republic ☀️

Here’s what went down:

• 👕 Jeff joined us live from the Dominican, repping a Tragically Hip shirt and dropping tales from resort run-ins with fellow Hip fans (or not-so-fans?).

• 🍻 jD recapped his hazy but heartfelt night seeing From the Hip at Trinity Common, including a transcendent moment of frontman Gord-ing.

• 🎧 Jeff blew our minds again with a new audio sync discovery—this time comparing Paul Langlois’ “Can’t Wait Anymore” with The Hip’s “Use It Up.” Goosebumps guaranteed.

• 📺 We took a deep dive into The Tragically Hip’s iconic 1995 SNL appearance, reflecting on the band’s “inside the box” performance, how Gord kept it weird (but tame), and the thrill of seeing Nautical Disaster on American TV.

• 📹 jD’s “podumentary” commemorating the 30th anniversary of that SNL night has racked up thousands of views! If you haven’t seen it yet—fix that.

• 📀 Gig of the Week: That Night in Toronto (2004), a powerhouse In Between Evolution tour show captured by the Lamoureux Brothers. We shared favorite quotes, rare easter eggs (hey, “The New Maybe”!), and why it still gives us chills.

👀 Coming Up Next Week:

We’re taking the show on the road—sort of.

We’re heading to the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto to see The Strictly Hip, and we’re turning the April 6 Sunday Evening Jam into a full-on tribute band discussion!

• 🎶 Have you seen a Hip tribute band? Did you love it? Hate it? Indifferent and just wanna dance?

• 🎤 We want to hear your stories—leave us a voicemail via the link in our socials and you might make the show!

Plus: jD recently saw From the Hip, so you’ll get double the tribute insight. Maybe even a surprise guest 👀

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song Twenty-Eight - Terri from Nova Scotia Mar 31, 2025

Show notes

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song 28 — Terri from Nova ScotiaHey, it’s jD — and this week, we head to the salty East Coast to meet Terri from Nova Scotia, a self-professed late bloomer when it comes to The Hip… but she’s since made up for lost time with a vengeance.She never saw them live. Not once. Not even close. But through her nephew’s fandom, a Yer Favourites CD, and long drives to school with her son in the passenger seat, Terri became one of the most emotionally tuned-in Hip fans we’ve ever had on the show. Her story’s got layers — part grief, part obsession, and 100% reverence.Inside this episode:How a deep dive during night shifts turned her into a HipheadWhy Gord’s lyrics hit like short stories and poetry in equal measureThat bittersweet moment when her nephew live-texted Gord’s last show from VictoriaAnd the beautiful annual tradition she shares with her son (who covers a different Hip song for her every Christmas)It’s an episode about discovery, about memory, and about filling in the blanks when life doesn’t let you be there in person.🎙️ Next week, we head west with Ian from Maple Ridge, frontman of the tribute band Gift Shop and one of the most grounded, eloquent voices on what it means to honour The Hip through music.💬 Pull Quote“Every song is like a short story. Gord wasn’t just a singer. He was a writer — a fucking genius.”👤 About Our GuestTerri from Nova Scotia is a writer, theatre producer, and deep-cut Hip aficionado who never got to see the band live — but found her way into the catalogue through family, research, and pure poetic obsession. She’s one half of Two Fools Productions, staging adult comedies across the Maritimes, and describes herself (accurately) as “the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler of Nova Scotia.”Check them out: Two Fools on Facebook🧾 Support the ShowLike what you’re hearing?

Today on the Countdown, we're gettingphotos from the sky with a pigeon camera. Dan from Ottawa, tell me about the first time you heardthis song. You know, I'm not 100% sure, but it was probably right after I got the CD. As I, you know,I don't think it had airplay before the album came out. And I, like others, would just get the CD,stand in line if we had to, on release day and could not wait until to hear the album. So I'm prettysure that's what happened for this. It's been the same for all the albums for me.[1:41] Music.[1:49] Here and welcome to the Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown.

How the hell are you doing on this hiptastic day, Terry from Nova Scotia?Doing pretty good. Excellent. Are you ready to talk about the Tragically Hip? I am. I'm always readyto talk about the hip. Well, let's hear your Tragically Hip origin story then. It's not that exciting.Actually, it's kind of sad. I'm the biggest hip fan that's never seen a live show. Oh, my goodnessgracious. Yeah, tragically. Yeah. Oh, I'm so sorry. I discovered the hip a little later in life. My nephewwas a huge fan and I, you know, I knew of them and everything.[3:14] But really, I didn't get into it until I bought Your Favorites. Okay. And would listen to it drivingmy kids to school and sort of getting into all the favorites. And I was like, yeah, this band is really,really great. And then Gord gets brain cancer. and I'm thinking, I'm never going to get to see thisband. And, you know, tried to get tickets for the last show and everything never worked out. But soI've tried to make up for it by really, you know, doing a deep dive and, you know, getting to know allthe albums, you know, going down the rabbit hole as far as the band goes, you know, learningabout them. And uh so yeah so now i'm a huge hip fan and i never seen a live show.[4:19] Oh terry from nova scotia that is heartbreaking what what about i want to know more aboutthis deep dive though i want to know more about what you've discovered and where you startedwith that deep dive did you start at the start or did you cherry pick what did you do well i'm the typeof person that once i get hooked on something i uh i spend a lot of time just researching and uharound this time i was working nights and i would spend like three or four hours just.[4:59] Going on a deep dive at the hip like i knew like gourd's kids that sounds kind of creepy i knewhis kids' names and his ex-wife's names and all the things about, and I you know, I just, really, andthen like, just reading about tours and different, songs, and I'm also a writer, so I can reallyappreciate Gord's lyrics. And I think that's what kind of drew me in was the lyrics, because really it'slike a short story. Every song is like a short story, and And he's a genius. The phrasing, just the, Idon't know, everything. It's so, so good. And also his voice, so distinctive and really, I mean, I knowit's sort of up for debate whether he's, you know, some people are like, I don't really think he has agreat voice. Oh, my. I think he has an amazing voice. Me too. And, you know, the emotion. But inthis song that we're going to talk about, it gets so quiet. Sorry, one sec. Sorry.[6:12] The one thing I forgot to tell you, I'm so sorry, is we don't talk about the song in the first half.That's all right, because it's like a big reveal for everybody. Okay, you can edit that out? Yeah, I'lledit that out. All right. Okay, so his voice. Okay. Yeah, I mean, he gets so big, he gets so emotional,but he also gets really quiet sometimes. And I love that. Really soft. And so I just love this band andI love Gord Downey. And even my nephew was like, how do you know that?file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20613.htmlPage 2 of 6The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown2025-05-24, 8:49 AM[6:51] How do you know that, you know, he's divorced and blah, blah, blah. And his daughter,Willow, is an artist. and all these things. And I'm just like, I don't know. It is, you know, I'm notstalking anybody, but I just really love finding out things about somebody that I find so interesting.Yeah. You want some of that maybe context, you know, so you can read the lyrics even deeper. Butalso contact, because I never got to see them live. I never got to be in that room with him, youknow.[7:28] And so this is my only way and then i started to be like oh well i gotta go to a sarah harmershow, because you know she sang on some of the hip stuff and she was such a good friend withgourd, and then i'm like well i gotta go see city in color because you know sleeping sickness andthen i gotta go see you know so that's how i'm making up for not seeing him live is by you knowthat what six degrees of separation or something no that's great but it's also great just to go out andsupport live music right like that's wonderful definitely and i love canadian artists you know like just ican't even think of really any american artists that i'm into right now it's all canadian that's greathave you had a chance to watch any of the docuseries yes yeah i loved it loved it you must havereally liked it for all that oh yeah all the juicy details and the info yeah amazing i loved it and i lovethat mike downey really.[8:36] He obviously had the in, right? So he was able to get, you know, all the stuff that maybe thatfirst documentary, long time running, really couldn't get. So I love that.[8:53] The chapter four, or the, was it chapter four, I think they called it, or the last hour of thedocumentary was really sad, though. Holy shit, right? That was. Yeah. That was unreal. Thatgotcha. That gotcha. I haven't watched it again yet. Especially, what's that? I haven't watched it asecond time yet. No, I will. I will with my son who will be home for university at Christmas. So I'mgoing to watch it a second time with him because I've sort of recruited him. He's a musician and I'vesort of, he's sort of getting it now. But. How old is he?[9:33] He is 24. That is so cool because I don't think of that cohort as being hip fans at this point. Sogood work flying the flag. Well, the thing, too, is that he was in high school when I was driving himto school, listening to your favorites. And he sort of, you know, I don't think he wanted to admit thathe liked it, but I think he respects it now and he gets it. So that's really a, you know, and now everyChristmas, his gift to me is he records a hip song the way he would do it in his own way. So, yeah.That's so special. Yeah. Oh, wow. It's really sweet. Do you ever share them?[10:26] Well, I haven't, but he did a really great job of So Hard Done By. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. I'lltalk to you after we stop recording about it. Proud mama. Yeah. That's very cool. There's a reallyfile:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20613.htmlPage 3 of 6The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown2025-05-24, 8:49 AMsad part about my nephew being at the last show in Victoria, BC, and him texting me and saying,Gord's doing this, and Gord's singing this one, and whatever. And I'm like, crying my eyes out, youknow, kind of living vicariously through him. But that's cool. We don't want to bring the listenersdown too much, though. Hey, you know what? It's part of the package now with this band.Unfortunately, it's in the backpack, right? Yeah. That sadness, that grieving is just, and I don't knowhow long it's going to.[11:18] Be for. because occasionally I'll put on a song and it just takes me somewhere that doesmake me nostalgic or sad. Yeah, I think you're right. It's grief. Yeah. Definitely. So what do youthink? Should we start talking about the song of the week? Yes. We'll get right back after this break.Hey, this is Paul Langlois from The Tragically Hip saying hello. Now on with the countdown.[11:44] Music.[17:03] Boy, do I remember this track. Having bought Day for Night at Midnight on release day, Ilistened as soon as I got back to my dorm. I was amazed with virtually every track, but that slowsong. Wow. Terry from Nova Scotia, what did you think of Scared when you first heard it?[17:24] Um, well, I loved it. Um, you know, minimal drums, really focused on the lyrics. Um, my sondescribed it as skeletal folk instrumental. Skeletal folk instrumental. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Like the, theinstrumental part. But, um, the meaning of the song has kind of changed for me over the years.Interesting. It's evolved because when I first heard it, I really felt like it was, he was talking about arelationship. Okay. Like, I don't know. If it's like some kind of kink or something, like I can make youscared, you know, if you want me to kind of thing. But now I feel it's a bit more political to me. Okay.In a different way. It's like, I feel like he's speaking about fear to, you know, fear can intimidate ormanipulate.[18:34] And also the line, tickled to death by their importance, I feel like that is such a great lyricbecause I feel like it speaks to ego. Yeah. I feel like it speaks to the ego of men that are so proud ofthemselves. It doesn't have to be men, but just in general. I get it. I get it. Like a type of control.So... As always, Gord's lyrics are up for interpretation. And, you know, was it just random wordsthat rhymed? Who knows? But for me, and I think everybody, it's, you know, it's up to the listener todecide what he's talking about and how it sort of resonates with you. But for me, I feel like it'salmost like.[19:27] Like, it's political for me in a way that, you know, he's talking about, you know, tests haveshown that, you know, I just feel like it's less more of a relationship song now. And more for me isfile:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20613.htmlPage 4 of 6The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown2025-05-24, 8:49 AMjust talking about how we can be manipulated by fear. Wow. So where do you go with that defangdestroyer limps into the bay? Where does that fit in to your analysis, if it does? At first, I thought hewas speaking about, you know, an injured whale or an injured shark or something like that. But Irealized that it's a, he's speaking about a ship, right? About a, that's what a defang destroyer is.Isn't it like a ship or something that's out of commission or something? Yeah. But then again, thatcould be, you know, something that's out of commission. Integrity.[20:38] Honesty. Yeah. You know, and these children, which may be future generations, they're justwading into the water, the blood-soaked water. You know what I mean? Like, we're just, they're justgoing there. They're going into that. and what will happen to them. Oh, man. Am I getting too deepwith you? No, not at all. I find that some of Gord's songs, they take you somewhere, and not in anunsatisfying way, but in a curious way, they make you want to know what's next.[21:15] Definitely. Definitely. And I mean, if we could sit down with him and be like, yeah, man, I wantto pick your brain. Like, what were you talking about? I don't even know if you'd tell us. No, I don'tthink so. But what I'd kill for is like 25 to 35 minutes with that notebook that I don't know if you saw iton Facebook when Patrick pulled it out of the dusty confines of wherever it had been stored. Butmy goodness, what? Sorts of treasures would be in there that you would see oh my god definitely imean, it's just the the scribblings of a of a genius yes how would we how would we decipher all of iti don't know we need some sort of um oh what's it called cipher decoding or something but also Sot…

Show notes

“March 25 1995”

A Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown Podumentary

On March 25, 1995, The Tragically Hip took the stage on Saturday Night Live — hosted by John Goodman and backed by fellow Canadian Dan Aykroyd. It was a monumental moment in Canadian music history, beamed out to the world.

To mark its 30th anniversary, we’re proud to release our first-ever Podumentary (that’s a podcast/documentary hybrid — and yes, we’re proud of the portmanteau).

This audio time capsule features:

• Behind-the-scenes insight into how the SNL appearance happened

• Fan memories from basements, bars, and bedrooms across the country

• Commentary from Robbie Baker, Billy Ray, Gord Sinclair, and more

• A look at Grace, Too and Nautical Disaster — two bold setlist choices still debated to this day

• Goosebump-worthy nostalgia and rare trivia (like Gord flubbing the first line — and making it better)

Plus, details on our upcoming live event:

🎟 bit.ly/celebratehipALS — A Celebration of The Hip for ALS, July 19 at The Rec Room Toronto.

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song Twenty-Nine - Dan from Ottawa Mar 24, 2025

Show notes

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song Twenty-Nine – Dan from OttawaHey, it’s jD — and this week we’re plugging in and tuning up with Dan from Ottawa: longtime Hip fan, frontman of Little Bones (a Tragically Hip tribute band), and the kind of guy who once played a New Year’s Eve gig opposite Skydiggers and still showed up early for load-in.Dan’s hipstory takes us back to the early ’90s — garage band jams, cassette tapes passed around like sacred texts, and the moment a slide guitar lick changed the trajectory of his life. He tells the tale of forming Little Bones, a tribute band that’s been gigging for three decades with sell-out crowds and loyal fans across Ontario. They’ve even been featured in a docuseries. (No big deal. Except… yeah, it kinda is.)We talk about cover bands, copyright, close calls with the real band (including a brush with Gord at the Vancouver airport), and the way singing Escape Is At Hand… during a child’s birth can turn a hospital room into Massey Hall. There’s love here. And reverence. And one absolutely killer overflow brewery show.Dan also walks us through what it’s like to live inside the music — not just listening but playing it, night after night, for people who know every lyric and expect you to feel every word. No pressure.🎙️ Next week: We head east to Nova Scotia for a heartfelt hang with Terri, a fan whose late-blooming love for The Hip has turned into something profound. There are nephews, Christmas covers, and a lyric that changed everything. Get ready.💬 Pull Quote“We were the first band to play Overflow Brewery, and we still pack the place. That stage, those faces — it’s church. A loud, sweaty church.”👤 About Our GuestDan from Ottawa has been fronting Little Bones, one of Canada’s longest-running Tragically Hip tribute bands, since 1995. Equal parts frontman and fan, he brings Gord’s spirit to life on stage — not by mimicking the look, but by nailing the feel.By day, Dan’s a family man. By night, he’s belting out Fully Completely to sold-out rooms, often with his sons in the crowd. (Or sometimes on stage.) He’s met the band. He’s studied the lyrics. And he’s convinced the Meech Lake Accord might just be the key to unlocking Pigeon Camera. Honestly? He might be onto something.📬 Get Involved🎙️ Drop your hot take: castfeedback.com/tthtop40📧 Send your hipstory: tthtop40@gmail.com💸 Buy us a coffee and support ALS research: buymeacoffee.com/tthtop40📡 Follow + StreamSpotify | Apple | YouTube | dewvre.com/tthtop40Instagram: @tthtop40Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/tthtop40🧠 Support the CauseWe’re raising $25K for the ALS Society of Canada in memory of our dear friend Matt Rona — a Hip fan to the end.

Ifyou've followed along through my podcast journey, you know that The Darkest One is a favorite ofmine. That said, Matt from Portsmouth, what did you think of the song the first time you rememberhearing it? I remember, like I said, I bought my wife the album and we played it. And Darkest Oneimmediately hit me because it felt slightly tonally different to the rest of the album. And again, Iguess I reference it, Dave, and I had a warmth to it. It's there in the lyrics. It's there in the song. It'skind of welcoming and it ushers you in. And I don't know, it felt like putting on a cozy jacket.[1:46] Hey, it's JV here and welcome back to the Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown. It is my pleasureto be here with you each and every Monday as we spend some time sharing stories, experiences,and counting down 40 essential songs by the hip that you chose with your very own top 20 ballads.I simply tabulated the results using an abacus and a face bidet.

Dan from Ottawa,how the hell are you doing on this hip-tastic day? I'm doing great, JD. Hoping the same for you,man. Yes, the sun is shining here. Is it shining in Ottawa right now? It is. I think the melt is starting,so we're going to be, you know, beers on the dock soon enough. Soon enough. Ooh, I love thesound of that.[2:56] Well, let's get right into things. Let's hear your Tragically Hip Origins story. Yeah, I think thefirst song that I heard would have to be either Blow It High Do or New Orleans is Sinking. I was in agarage band at the time back in early 1990, and one of the guys brought a tape in and said, youhave to hear this new sound out of Kingston.[3:18] And we loved it. And, you know, from that day forward, really, for the next now 35 years, I'vebeen playing the music of the tragedy of the last 30 years, just with my friends and little bones fromOttawa.[3:33] Right. Okay. So I want to get to Little Bones and I want to hear about your experiences withthat band, but I want to hear a little bit more about, you know, hearing that song for the first time.And I really loved, there's an interesting sound coming out of Ottawa or coming out of Kingston.That's cool. Yeah. What, what, what from there? Did you go and buy a record or. Yeah, absolutely.Try and get out to see the shows.[3:56] Not the shows probably came a few years later, but we were just doing covers of variousbands at the time. But we soon evolved into pretty much doing a third Pink Floyd, the guitar player'sfavorite, a third Neil Young, which was my favorite at the time, and then a third The Hip. And atsome point, like the music, that first album, and it was probably Blow because just that first slidesound just hooks you. And it's like, okay, check this out. And of course, New Orleans' Stinkingbecame the anthem. But yeah, I think probably Blow is a thing. And the way it starts with the basstoo is crazy. Well even gorge first lyrics are almost sort of inviting right uh or miss they'remysteriously inviting they shot a movie once in my hometown and we can sort of oh okay what'swhat's this about what's the movie about and it's like some kind of elvis thing what yeah i'm kind ofthinking like is that like did they film a you know an elvis movie at shannonville speedway you knowlike close to kingston who knows you can never tell with this guy yeah exactly Exactly.[5:10] So where from there? Well, I think, like, so the first album was up to here for sure. And as faras, like, you know, albums that I, you know, go to, whatever, I would say, it varies. It really does.Like, the band plays stuff up to phantom power mostly. But, you know, I personally enjoy thediversity of the sound that I feel from the later albums as well. Like others have said here, the hipfile:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20612.htmlPage 2 of 13The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown2025-05-24, 8:50 AMalbum I put on probably depends more on the mood that I'm in or how long it's been since I playedthat particular album. But Day for Nights up there because Nautical Disaster is my absolutefavorite.[5:59] But We Are the Same has Song 34 of your top 40 and the Depression Suite. And I loveTyler's interpretation of that on the previous podcast, but I think it's great that art lends itself todifferent interpretations based on who's consuming the art. Mine's a bit different for that second ofthose three little songs, New Orleans World.[6:26] Uh yeah well to me it could be that um you know gourd was you know would always writeabout things um that's happening with potentially within the live performances of the song neworleans is sinking it's like the world of new orleans is sinking consider that that song is the world,because if you think about it right there's no there's no windows in the huge rooms you played andin the middle often gave birth to other songs like Nautical and Heavy Century. What if the songdoes nothing? Would have been maybe that moment when he's sitting in the jam trying one out.Um so in i don't know okay i love that it seems possible that gourd was surfing the internet in theday for night room or the day room uh because at the at the bathhouse they have different roomsthat are had the motif of the various albums so he could have been in the day room surfing theinternet looking for new orleans is sinking references while he's trying to figure out some lyrics forthe song so we'll see i you know because and the thing that makes me, think about that, J.D., isback at the time.[7:37] Our band Little Bones had demos on the internet, at our website and stuff. And one of thedemos that we had in there was New Orleans is sinking, obviously, and we would often play andwe often, we still do to this day, we end the song with the rodeo song. I'm not sure if you know that.Really? Yeah, do you know that song? I know it very well. Don't tell if I'm going to hit her in a truck.Yeah. So we just start, you know, having fun with that at the middle. It's a good bar song, if you will,too. Absolutely. Anyway, so as we often do, the guys were jamming on this demo we had, and Iwas trying to reel them back in to get into the rodeo song. So I said, I said, gimme, gimme, gimme,gimme some let's go to the rodeo. And I'm riding, I'm riding, and I'm riding along. And in that, if youlook at The lyrics of New Orleans World It's got the gimme, gimme, gimme Put me in the saddle, I'llride you'll see I mean, that seems pretty coincidental, You know, that got me down to the thread oflike What? What? Now again, it's probably my wishful thinking But all that to say There's alwaysroom on my playlist for We are the same.[8:53] I think so, too. Now, have you seen the documentary? The docu-series on Prime? Yeah. I feellike that record has taken a little bit of shine. Some of the shine has come off that record becausefile:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20612.htmlPage 3 of 13The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown2025-05-24, 8:50 AMof that doc. It took me a long time to get into that record. Like, I'm not going to lie to you, but I reallyenjoy it now. Like, I really do enjoy it. But hearing that the rest of the boys weren't as involved, itsort of bummed me out a bit. Yeah, me too. Yeah, me too. Sinclair's quote getting fired from myown fucking band. Yeah.[9:32] And yet, I like World Container. I like that Bob Rock record. And I don't know, did you listen tothe Lester Parfait record? I did. With Gordon? Yeah. I thought it was interesting. The little videoclips of him. But you can kind of almost, now that you've watched the doc and And, you know, and Ialso, like, you listen to Gord's, you know, Introduce Yourself, you know, there's a song on there withthat. I think it's one of his first son where he talks about being in with Bob in Hawaii and stuff. Andyou can kind of actually feel like you're there almost, right? And after the document came out, itwas kind of like shit. You know, I thought they were, like, having, like, a positive experience thereand then you know the fact that you know the guys weren't doing backups and they were surprisedwhen they got there that they they were already done was uh you know disheartening a bit yeahyeah me too yeah me too uh it changes the the timbre of the of the records to a certain degreeyeah well let's talk about let's talk about your foray into to tribute them with little bones. When doesthat come about?[10:50] So we were in a band called Conflict of Interest. And like I said, we evolved to the pointwhere we had a third of our stuff that was the hip. And at the time, you know, Road Apples wasprobably the first hip tribute band. And they were— They're out of Kingston, right? Yes. Yeah. And Ithink they probably know the guys, if I remember. But uh there's um you know they were they wereactually we were actually in a article in, candlelight magazine that talked is called on the on theroad with tragically hip tribute bands and uh yeah they talked about a few of them in there butanyway what is it do you remember well i have it i have i can i don't let you know please do yeah iwould like that up at the very end of it so they talked quite a bit about how you know all the moneythat the other guys were making and and uh there was a reference at the at the very end of it thatwas we think there's one called little bones but we haven't been able to track them down but umanyway that's so that that an agent basically uh came to us one of the agents we that we dealt withand said um hey you guys should spin up uh you know there's a market for it they people love itand we were like well we you know we'd like nothing better than to play that music um so i missedthe neil Young, but we always throw a couple of Neil Youngs in here and there at our show. Oh,that's great.[12:10] But yeah, that's how it started. And literally, we had a couple of pretty decent shows. Likethere's one up there, the Jungle 96, that would be 1996, 95 into 96, New Year's Eve. And Johnfile:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20612.htmlPage 4 of 13The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown2025-05-24, 8:50 AMCoast and the Sky Diggers played on one stage and we played on a different stage. Wow. And thatwas early. We were just really, you know, virgins almost at that point. But, you know, fast forward 35years. But there was one thing that was cool. It was kind of around the time that I met the band. Butwe got to be part of a series that was produced by Good Company Pictures. And it aired for acouple of years on E-Channel. It debuted on E-Channel and aired on a bunch of different channels.But it was called Tribute Bands, and they had four episodes of it, you know, Rush.[13:08] Sting like a you know the police rush uh queen and the hip and we were on we're on the hipone that's it i think it's you can still see it from our littlebones.ca website it i have it there somewherei think there's still a you know once you post something on the internet it's there forever right sounless you need to find it yeah yeah yeah you know it's there but uh that was a fun fun experience ibet so where where has that taken you in in terms of gigging and stuff like that you guys are stillyou guys are still at it right we are we don't i mean we get you know 10 to 12 times a year like we'refor the most part uh the guys in the band all have other musical.[13:53] Things happe…
