Something On: (New Music, Recommendations & Gord’s Birthday Celebration)
In this third episode of Something On, Sara J switches things up and brings you a streamlined music news rundown—this time dropping directly into your podcast feed.
The big story this week: the release of “Generation” from Gord Downie, The Sadies, and the Conquering Sun – Live at 6 O’Clock, arriving February 27. Sara breaks down what to expect from the live album, why the Discovering Downie podcast is an essential companion listening, and how this project captures Gord at his electrifying best.
She also covers:
The latest from The Hip on Shuffle (including her recent appearance on the “Fire in the Hole” panel and a killer unreleased 1997 live cut from Rock am Ring)
New content from School of Hip
A deep dive recommendation into Phantom Acoustics
Highlights from Gord Downie's birthday celebrations in Buffalo, including standout performances by The Strictly Hip
A special audio clip from Craig (Discovering Downie / Gift Shop) recorded at a Gord birthday tribute show
Plus, in the DATC Media world, Sara shares details from the latest episode of Dropped Among This Crowd, featuring Brady Callan of Cancon_eh. They talk Canadian music culture, Finger Eleven, Nickelback’s love-to-hate legacy, Richard Beland’s photography, desert island albums, music books, vinyl collecting, and the formative power of live music.
Whether you’re here for The Hip, Gord’s solo work, or the broader Canadian music community, this episode is packed with news, recommendations, and celebration.
Be sure to stick around to the end for a special audio clip—and check the show notes for all links mentioned.
Something On will return April 14th with a live guest episode. Follow DATC Media everywhere to stay in the loop.
