    The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: An Inch An Hour
    Apr 17 2026
    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. Catch them at Club 240 in Crescent Beach (April 18), the Roxy in Vancouver (May 1), Shaw Deep Cove Theatre in North Van (June 27), and the Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver (August 20). Tickets and info at giftshophipband.ca.Duxoop from Toledo, OH — A founding member of this community who found the TTH Podcast Series by typing 'Tragically Hip' into a podcast app and stumbling onto Fully & Completely. He rebuilt his YouTube playlist from scratch — over 500 songs, every solo project, every side door into the catalogue. Find it at Chronologically Hip.Tom from New York — Two for two on "Day for Night" episodes, and deeply committed to sitting with a record properly before showing up. He owns the half-speed remaster and he'll tell you why that matters.Song DetailsAn Inch an Hour — Track 11, "Day for Night" (1994)Produced by Mark Howard, Mark Regan, and The Tragically HipReleased September 19, 1994Live debut: Molson Park, July 1, 1994 (jD was there)Last played: January 20, 2013Ended at #57 on the TTHTop40 CountdownPlayed approximately 43 times total over the band's career — tied for 98th with 'Pretend'Tonight's version came from the "We Are the Same" tour acoustic setSource: setlist data and catalogue info drawn from Hipbase and HipMuseum.

  • An Evening For Sara J - The Podcast

    An Evening For Sara J - The Podcast
    Apr 15 2026

    An Evening For Sara J - The Podcast

    Patrick Downie doesn't show up to talk about the band. He shows up to talk about his brother.

    That's what made An Evening for Sara J - a community fundraiser held April 11, 2025 at the Firkin on Yonge in Toronto - something a little different. Patrick joined jD on stage in front of a room full of Hip fans, and what followed was one of the most honest, warm, and quietly moving conversations this network has ever put to tape. No press junket. No talking points. Just a brother talking about a brother - and what it means to carry that forward.

    They got into the weight of curating Gord's legacy, the Downie Wenjack Fund, what it felt like to go from being taken care of to doing the taking care of. Patrick talked about the Dirty Three, about Gord's deep punk rock heart, about the new Gord Downie and the Sadies and the Conquering Sun record - eight tracks from 2014, Gord at full speed, letting it all go. They talked about 'Are We Family?' and what family actually meant in that house, with that clock on the wall and that pattern on the tape. And they talked about Buffalo. Obviously.

    This one is different. You'll know it when you hear it.

    About Patrick Downie

    Patrick Downie is the younger brother of Gord Downie and a tireless steward of Gord's legacy - through the Downie Wenjack Fund, through the ongoing archival releases, and through showing up to rooms like this one when it matters. He is, as he put it himself, still taking care of his brother.

  • Fully & Completely: redux - Now For Plan A

    Fully & Completely: redux - Now For Plan A
    Apr 13 2026

    It started as a punishment.

    In 2016, jD heard Greg LeGros pitch "Now For Plan A" on See You Next Wednesday - not as a bad pick, but as something deeply underappreciated that deserved a real listen. jD listened. Came back. And somehow, without either of them knowing it yet, that was the moment Fully & Completely was born.

    Full circle, ten years later. Here we are.

    About This Episode

    jD and Greg LeGros return to the record that, in a weird and fortuitous way, started everything - The Tragically Hip's 2012 album "Now For Plan A." It's the most overlooked record in the catalogue. It's also, when you know what you're listening to, one of the most emotionally devastating.

    The Hip recorded "Now For Plan A" while Gord Downie's wife was fighting cancer. Not every track maps directly to that experience - but enough of them do that, once you know, the whole album reorients. The desperation in the vocals. The urgency in the hooks. The tenderness buried inside songs that, on the surface, just cook.

    jD and Greg go track by track through the full record, unpacking every song with the weight of that context - and without it, for the songs that stand on their own terms. They talk about what it means to watch a chemotherapy drip and write a lyric. About Gord's wife being "the look ahead." About a title that works on at least three different levels simultaneously. About why 'Goodnight Attawapiskat' is a precis for the last six years of the band.

    They also set the scene for 2012 - the 100th Grey Cup in Toronto, the beginning of streaming, the vinyl comeback, Kendrick Lamar's arrival, and how Bruce Springsteen's "Wrecking Ball" tour changed at least one life in Hamilton that year.

    This is a big one.

    Why This Record Matters

    jD puts it plainly near the end: "This is almost like a precis for the last six years of this band." The journey through cancer. The band songs. The Indigenous reckoning with a thousand mile suit and a community named out loud. "Now For Plan A" was released in 2012 with no context - and it quietly contained everything that was coming.

    Greg's take is maybe the sharpest thing said in the episode: "How weird is it that he didn't get to release a record about his illness, and yet we've got track after track of him explaining how he feels about this illness."

    You've got to love it. We've got to love it. Because they fucking loved it.
