Phantom Power (1998) Side B with Journalist and Podcaster Dave Breakenridge

Phantom Power (1998) Side B with Journalist and Podcaster Dave Breakenridge

In this episode of School of Hip [https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/school-of-hip] Chaz and Heath welcome the editor-in-chief of the Edmonton Journal and the Edmonton Sun, journalist and Canadian news podcaster Dave Breakenridge. Dave’s Tragically Hip fandom is such that this summer, via his Twitter/X page [https://x.com/BreakenridgeYEG], he launched an online elimination tournament (The Tragically Hip Best Song Bracket [https://challonge.com/i1k442mw]) to determine by fan votes just what is the Hip’s greatest song.  Before taking on Side B of Phantom Power, one of Dave’s favorite records by the band, Heath delves into reviews of the 1998 album from the time of its release, both positive and quite hilariously negative (we’re looking at you NME). Then it’s the track-by-track, standouts being the catchy Cold War-era hockey as love story metaphor, Fireworks, the document of a weary, maturing band on the road (Escape is at Hand for the Traveling Band), and breezy, folk-country ballad, The Rules. Emperor Penguin is an oddity loved by Dave, while Heath, not so much. Is Side B hinting at a lag on the horizon for the Hip?  Whether you’re a lifelong Hip fan or just curious about what makes this band so iconic in Canada, School of Hip is your guide to the sounds and the story of the Tragically Hip, one album side per episode. Episodes drop every two weeks.  For further exploration:  Follow Dave Breakenridge on his X/Twitter page [https://x.com/BreakenridgeYEG] to play The Tragically Hip Best Song Bracket.

Phantom Power (1998) Side A with Writer, Documentarian, and Film Critic Craig Silliphant

In this episode of School of Hip [https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/school-of-hip] Chaz and Heath welcome – from the Paris of the Prairies – writer, documentarian, film critic, and the director of operations at Saskatoon’s Rawlco Radio, Craig Silliphant [https://www.craigsilliphant.com/]. Craig’s latest book is a collection of humourous essays entitled Bunnyhug Cynic [https://www.amazon.ca/Bunnyhug-Cynic-Craig-Silliphant/dp/B0FGY6KPYK/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2QOYDSNX61HFY&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.lVenC3cb0kE523PZOx6ZPA.7hd0yPtd2QErdOpXaKkyQOJMcbk-ns1VI19ud2SBx48&dib_tag=se&keywords=bunnyhug+cynic&qid=1756065958&sprefix=bunnyhug+cynic%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-1] which includes a must-read reflection on the final Tragically Hip concert, from their hometown of Kingston, Ontario on Aug. 20, 2016.     Broadcast live on the CBC, the concert was watched by 11.7 million people, roughly a quarter of Canada’s population. This was Canada’s farewell to their beloved icon and poet laureate, Hip frontman Gord Downie, who had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. It was a funeral hosted by the dying man himself, says Silliphant and we talk about his excellent essay, The Man Who Walks Among the Stars (after first schooling Chaz on what the hell is a bunnyhug! Gotta love that Saskie slang!)     Then it’s on to Side A of Phantom Power wherein even Hip cynic Silliphant acknowledges the brilliance and depth of Bobcaygeon. Other phantom powered topics include the influence of producer Steve Berlin (from Los Lobos), the bare-breasted lawnmowing ladies of Poets, the great Quebec ice storm of ’98, which inspires Something On, and is that a flute we hear on Save the Planet? And Gord, is that a nickel stack in your pocket or are you just happy to see that bad ass Thompson Girl?     Whether you’re a lifelong Hip fan or just curious about what makes this band so iconic in Canada, School of Hip is your guide to the sounds and the story of the Tragically Hip, one album side per episode.

Visiting Scholar: Derek Lathrop of The Hip Experience

In this episode of School of Hip [https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/school-of-hip] Chaz and Heath take a detour from the Tragically Hip catalogue and into the world of Tragically Hip tribute bands interviewing Derek Lathrop, the Gord Downie doppleganger in one of the most in-demand Hip tributes on the circuit, The Hip Experience [https://www.reverbnation.com/thehipexperience].    Lathrop, a veteran of the Canadian music industry as a touring musician, recording artist and booking agent takes us through his own Hip journey, becoming a fan after seeing the young and hungry Kingston band open for Rush at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens in 1991.     It was in 2018, a year after Downie’s death, that The Hip Experience played its first gig, initially intended as a one-off for a cancer benefit show at a club in Etobicoke, Ontario. So great was the reception that The Hip Experience was asked to do more shows, eventually leading to today where the band plays around 100 shows a year, a gig Lathrop alternates with his solo career [https://www.reverbnation.com/dereklathrop] as a country artist.     Recreating the Hip concert experience is sacred ground for fans of the band that became a special part of so many lives and Lathrop shares how deeply he feels that connection, along with the unique brilliance of the band, every time The Hip Experience plays.     Whether you’re a lifelong Hip fan or just curious about what makes this band so iconic in Canada, School of Hip is your guide to the sounds and the story of the Tragically Hip, one album side per episode.     For further exploration:     Find the Hip Experience on Facebook, [https://www.facebook.com/thehipexperience] Instagram, [https://www.instagram.com/thehipexperience/] and YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@thehipexperience/featured].      School of Hip is a proud part of the burgeoning empire that is the Boneless Podcasting Network [https://bonelesspodcasting.com/].

Trouble At The Henhouse (1996) Side B with Podfather Corey Morrissette

In this episode of School of Hip [https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/school-of-hip] Chaz and Heath welcome their first ever returning guest, none other than the Podfather of the Boneless Podcasting Network, co-host of the world’s greatest Van Halen podcast And the Podcast Will Rock [https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/and-the-podcast-will-rock], and five more equally killer shows which you can learn about by clicking the link on his immortal name. Hello, Corey Morrissette [https://bonelesspodcasting.com/hosts/corey-morrissette]!     In Hip news the boys talk about an upcoming live triple album set to mark the 10th anniversary of the band’s final tour before the death of their iconic frontman Gord Downie. The Tragically Hip Live: July 22-Aug. 20, 2016, will feature recordings from various stops on that historical tour. The day after the album’s release, on Aug. 22, the CBC will be rebroadcasting the band’s final show in the Hip’s hometown of Kingston, ON, a day that united roughly one third of the country! In other news, Corey schools Heath ‘n Chaz on the coming of a Hip approved ice cream flavour, coming in June from Kawartha Dairy [https://kawarthadairy.com/] (headquartered, quite rightly, in Bobcaygeon, ON!) A delicious blend of maple whiskey flavored ice cream with dark, chocolatey chunks and rich, black cherry ripple. If they sent us some, we wouldn’t be mad!    Then it’s on to Side B of Trouble at the Henhouse, released on this month, 30 years ago! Full of Butts Wigglin’ Kids in the Hall accompaniment, canons shooting Coconut Cream, and an Apartment Song soiree wherein a strange lady shows off her ugly feet, does this side of deep cuts reflect a more playful Hip? And does it live up to the band’s epic previous output? Listen to the buried treasure that is Put It Off and you tell us!     Whether you’re a lifelong Hip fan or just curious about what makes this band so iconic in Canada, School of Hip is your guide to the sounds and the story of the Tragically Hip, one album side per episode.

Trouble At The Henhouse (1996) Side A with Superfan Chris Doucher

In this episode of School of Hip [https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/school-of-hip] Chaz and Heath are joined by friend of the show and bonafide Tragically Hip Super Fan Chris Doucher, a comic book reporter whose work is featured at GeekNerdNet.com [https://www.geeknerdnet.com/] and on the GNN Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/geeknerdnet/] page.  Chris shares the deep connection he feels to the lyrics of Gord Downie, with a special emphasis on two meaningful passages in particular, which he’s tattooed to his forearms (one featured on this very show). Talk also turns to his concert experience on that final tour, prior to Gord’s passing (yes, tears were shed in streams) and a humorous chance run-in with the Hip frontman and guitarist Paul Langois mere days later.  Then it’s off the races with Side A of Trouble at Henhouse. The acknowledged masterpiece of the collection is undoubtedly the tender Ahead by a Century, arguably the band’s biggest song. But did you know about an earlier version of the song, an eye-raising “dirty version,” as it’s been called? We also review a newly released cover of the classic, featuring City and Colour, Ruby Waters, and Boi-1da.  The ambitious album side also takes us to the Grand Canyon (Gift Shop) and brings us face to face with Kurt Cobain, reincarnated as a sled dog on Don’t Wake Daddy. This leads to a tale of from 1989 when the Hip and Nirvana played a gig together, pre-fame.  Other tunes from the classic album include: Springtime in Vienna, Flamenco, and 700 Foot Ceiling.  Whether you’re a lifelong Hip fan or just curious about what makes this band so iconic in Canada, School of Hip is your guide to the sounds and the story of the Tragically Hip, one album side per episode.
