Long Time Running played last night and will play again tonight where I live. If you get a chance to watch it, it's supposed to be great. I'm seeing it tonight.

I haven't heard a lot of their stuff, but LOVE "Little Bones". Sad to hear he's gone

I think there's a thread on this in Mayberry, but all good. RIP Gordie.

The Hip have always been one of my favourite bands. Grew up listening to them, and a lot of my greatest memories had them playing the background whether it was hunting, skiing, whatever. It was nice how pretty much all the radio stations in the city played their music all day yesterday. They had soooooo many great songs and albums too, definitely a huge part of Canadian culture imo.

A day after Jim Dunsworth passed too. What a shitty couple of days for Canadians nationwide, and therefore the world.

I seem to be one of the few that think "New Orleans is Sinking" is their best song. It also has one of my favorite rock riffs. Great song.
