The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: An Inch An Hour

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: An Inch an HourWhat does a song about slow-moving things sound like at 150 BPMs? Apparently, it sounds like this. jD and the panel dig deep into 'An Inch an Hour' — track 11 from "Day for Night," one of the most layered records The Tragically Hip ever made, and one that keeps revealing new angles the harder you look.This week's panel is three returning panelists who somehow decided it was okay to come back: Ian from Maple Ridge, Duxoop from Toledo, and Tom from New York. Together they pull apart the glacier metaphor hidden inside a riff that rips, chase down the Springside Park reference (the water there is the colour of tea, and yes, that matters), debate whether the f-bomb in verse two is the reason this song never cracked radio, and reckon with what it means to let a record this good gather dust at the back of the shelf.Duxoop brought the research. Tom did the math — and the math checks out. Ian brought the imagery of Gord on a tour bus, watching the world fly past at highway speed, throwing a finished book over his shoulder. There's a Trudeau reference in there, a possible Mr. Dressup callback, and a punk rock moment in the second line that you'll never unhear once it's pointed out.This one also opened with a shoutout to everyone who showed up — virtually, physically, spiritually — for An Evening for Sara J. The $5,000 goal was set. By all accounts, it was cleared. The abacus is back from the shop. More on that as the numbers land.Also: Ian's tribute band, Gift Shop, has four shows coming up in BC this spring and summer — including an August 20th night in Vancouver marking ten years since the final show. Worth your time. Worth the ticket.PanelistsIan from Maple Ridge, BC — Frontman of Gift Shop, a Tragically Hip tribute band based in British Columbia.
