Hey, it’s jD, and this week I’m joined by a bonafide convert — Tracey from L.A., a former “never-heard-of-’em” rocker whose pandemic-era dive into Long Time Running sent her on a full-blown Tragically Hip tear. And listen, when someone compares Man Machine Poem to a spiritual awakening? You lean in.
We talk about the bittersweet reality of falling in love with a band you’ll never get to see live. About hearing New Orleans Is Sinking at a stoplight and locking eyes with a stranger who just gets it. About putting In Between Evolution on at a vintage guitar shop in Silver Lake and watching Canadian expats break into tears.
Tracey might’ve entered late, but she’s gone deep. We talk Bob Rock beef, the overlooked genius of Now For Plan A, and the beautiful heartbreak of Introduce Yerself. There’s perspective here that’s not just fresh — it’s vital. Tracey reminds us that fandom isn’t about when you found The Hip. It’s about how the songs found you.
🎙️ Next week: We hop across the pond for a transatlantic sit-down with Matt from Portsmouth — whose Hip journey involves LimeWire, mini-discs, and a surprise backstage interview with Gord Downie himself. I shit you not.

[0:00] On Friday, May 26th, Podlist 6 is coming to you from the Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown.
Hey, it's JD here, and I am fucking pumped to be filling you in on the latest Podlist. What is a
Podlist, you ask? It's a podcast playlist. In this case, it's a playlist full of Tragically Hip cover songs
by our talented listeners. Here's the deal this year. You can only choose a song that ranked from
169 to 41. To be included in Podlist 6, you'll need to submit your WAV files either by WeTransfer or

[0:58] A member of the DATC Media family. Previously on the Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown. The
final song on the Phantom Power long play is Emperor Penguin, coming in at number 32. Mr.
Workman, what did you think of this track the first time you heard it? Well, I mean, I was just, I
mean, I get chills even thinking about it. I'm warmed by how playful how kooky and how
impressionist the lyrics are i'm just i i love so much about even even gourd sort of like his glib
dismissal of the of the we've got a uh a caller here with a bachelor degree talking alien invasion is
the only chance for unity i'm sorry to interrupt you caller but that's a physical impossibility the way
he he kind of he he it's a clip of of life that you we would hear if we were driving late at night and
hearing the am radio you know art bells absolutely.
[2:07] Hey, it's JD here, and welcome to the Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown. It's an absolute thrill
to be here with you week over week, where we're going to count down the 40 essential tracks by
the hip that you selected with your very own top 20 ballots. I then tabulated the results using an
abacus and Wilford Brimley's broken down pancreas. How will your favorite song fare in the
rankings? You'll need to tune in every week to find out. So there's that. This week, I'm joined by
tragically hip superfan, Tracy from Los Angeles. How the hell are you doing on this hiptastic day,
Tracy from LA? I'm doing great. The heat has broken a bit here, and it's beautiful out. Oh, that's
wonderful. It's actually here in Toronto. What are we, the 27th? 24. 24th of October. And it's 20, 20
degrees out right now here, like Celsius, Celsius. So like 75. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So got to
go out for a walk and get it while I can.
[3:18] Well, let's get right into this. Let's get right into your TTH origin story or your hipstery. Well, it's

a little late in the game. I was at before lockdown, I was finally able to see my favorite at the time
band in the world broken social scene. They were coming to Hollywood. And.
[3:42] It was a great concert. It was a smallish theater, and it was just, you know, Kevin Drew was
phenomenal. Yeah. And he started talking about someone he loved who passed away, and a week
or two before, I don't know, and I kind of heard the name, and he was so empathic with it, and it
was touching, but I didn't put it out of my mind. And a few weeks later or a month, I don't remember,
the documentary was on, Long Time Running. Right. And it was sort of getting towards lockdown.
And I put it on and I thought it was like a trucker documentary. I don't know what I thought, but if it's
a documentary, I watch it. And it was good. I mean, it was interesting to see the love for this band
from Canada. And I was, I found it out that being such a rock and roll fanatic since I was a kid and
playing music since I was a kid, I'd never heard of them. I just never heard of them. I'm from New
York, so I wasn't living in Omaha, but I was, you know, in LA.
[4:52] So I lived down the street from the Troubadour, so I mean, I saw everybody, but who are
they? And I put it out of my mind. And then the documentary was on repeat for some reason when
you're stuck in the house and can't go out because of the covid and it was as if every song had
been in my heart forever i know and it was so i never watched the full thing but the second time
every song they played just the music and i said this band.
[5:27] Is so phenomenal. And I don't know how I could have missed him. You know, I worked at a
recording studio in the 80s in Manhattan, and everybody was there, and I never heard of the
Tragically. So I made it my mission during lockdown to learn everything I could and listen to every
live show I could find on the internet and every record. And I just think that as a band, Not just
Gord, but as a band, it's my biggest regret that I'll never see them all together live. I think as a
band, they were just freaking amazing.
[6:08] My heart just sank for you when you said that. Like, I literally could feel like emotion, you
know? It was really, you know, and then learning about Gord after the fact and this tragedy. But I
felt it was this volume of music that I was gifted to learn and listen to for the first time at, you know,
my age, finding them and with a history. And so that was fun. I mean, it still is. I still am
investigating. This is really cool because so far of all the people I've spoke to, you are definitely the
newest hit band. So it's interesting to hear that story that even through the television, it's palpable.
You know TV nothing you know I mean I know that Canadians are very proprietary with this band
and I think and I respect that and I love Canadian singer-songwriters and musicians all my life but I
think of them as singer-songwriters and from Canada I don't think of that I don't have the
connection except for working up there and I feel like part of that is the reason they never crossed

Not that they wanted to or cared to after a while, but we never got to listen to them. Most of us in
rock and roll never heard of them.
[7:37] And maybe it's, you know, I feel like it's like you can't say anything about them because you're
not Canadian and there is a proprietary sense about the fans and maybe, I don't think that's right. I
think they're universal. Yeah.
[7:54] I can't, I can't disagree with you, you know, like I clearly I'm a big fan and I think they're
universal and I'm standing at the pulpit trying to, you know, get, get that music out there even more.
And it's really interesting. I think it was Rolling Stone just released an article a couple of weeks ago
about the taillights being bright for the Tribe of the Hip. Spin, I think it was Spin. Was it Spin? Okay.
Yeah. And it was really fascinating that, you know, at this point in their career, they are still
garnering as much interest. In fact, I'm going to a theater on November the 1st, which is next
Friday, to see the guys, along with their manager, along with Mike Downey. And I think Patrick will
be there. I'm not 100% certain. But you get a copy of the book.
[8:51] As part of your admission ticket. And then it's like a presentation, like a Q&A thing. And this is
like a pretty prestigious theater in Toronto, the Massey Hall. You probably have heard the Neil
Young album, live from Massey Hall. Yes, Massey Hall and the Rio Statics. That's right. You know
your Canadian music. Well, yeah. I mean, how did I miss these guys? I just don't understand. Yeah,
when you're into broken social scene And you're missing, you know, Broken Social Scene and
Reostatics and these bands, and you're missing the Tragically Hepped from that. That is
mysterious. It is mysterious. That is very mysterious. Maybe it's just, I just don't get it. I still get it.
And, you know, I think it's a credit to them that they, you know, broke into my heart, so to speak,
you know. Oh, I love the word. I think that's what they want to do. They're rock and roll, and that's
that. And then of course there was Gord's solo stuff getting to know that and.
[9:55] Not relating to the secret path, because we have our own issues around things like that. But
again, it was on, and I played it the second time, and the music just jumped out at me. And it was
the most beautiful record. And again, it's like, why aren't people listening to this here? I don't know.
And Introduce Yourself, which was heartbreaking and masterful. I just think that stuff is great. The
Coke Machine Glow and blah. I'm just really a big fan now. So take me through the journey of going
through the records. What was your pathway? Did you start at the start, or did you cherry-pick a
couple records off the top that you were hearing more about? Or what did that look like?
[10:48] You know, I love live music, and uh i think the first one i listened to was road apples because
i like the title or a bit and then i realized and then i you know listen to the live music and of course
file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20610.html
Page 3 of 9TTHTop40 610
2025-05-23, 6:04 PM
with the access we get now i figured that this band will be i will hear them through the years in their
live music that's accessible and i play them non-stop in the car um great shows that uh and then i
went back and went through the records um you know day for night in violet light.
[11:26] Uh in between evolution and one of my favorites that i think is underappreciated is man
machine poem agreed unfortunate release date but you know i i another one that i walked had it on
and walked by and i went the song machine would have been just a killer song in concert the last
song in the record and it just broke my heart it just was really cool you know so i think and and now
for plan a is another one i i i listened to and look at this i think it's great uh i was listening to this out
this morning rather i just held up my copy of now for plan a for those who are not on the live pay-
per-view feed i i just i think it's a terrific record and a terrific cover Yeah.
[12:20] It's a lot of fun. But the subject matter is not fun. You know, the subject matter of that record
is so deeply personal and tragic almost, right? Yes, the lyrics got more personal, I think, as time
went on because you have to, you know. I think if you're a lyricist like Gord was. But I feel like I'm
just as much a fan of somebody, you know, Jack the Ladd and Kingston, who discovered them in
high school. I really do. And sometimes I don't want to say that because I'm afraid I'll be attacked
as, you know, not Canadian enough. Oh, goodness. No, I would hope that's not the case. But going
back to your theory, you know, there's something really to that, that we do cleave to this band so
tightly that it can be difficult to access for other people that aren't as familiar with it. Even though
we're all evangelists, we're protected at the same time. I never heard them. You know, I mean...
[13:30] You just never heard them. So how can you access them if they were sort of hidden, you
know, to their frustration and to people who've lost out and not hearing them? And, I mean, as
much as Joni Mitchell's from Canada, I never listened to her as, you know, to learn about Canada.
Right. But she did sing about Canada and Saskatoon, whatever. You know, and they all sing about
their country and the Sex Pistols sang about England, but that didn't make me think of them as
English, you know. Right. It was fun, that group. And so the hip, I learned a lot about history,
Canadian history, because they were smart. He was smart and he taught people history, not only
Canadian, but, you know, I learned through him, but as I do many artists through the years. So I
don't think of them as Canadian, except for all the, you know, emotion of the last tour. I just listened
to them as a rock and roll band.
[14:33] Well, that's the way to do it, right? Yeah. Like, it always frustrated me to go to shows. I only
went to one in the U.S., but it was in Buffalo, so it was a stadium show. That's kind of a border
town. Yeah, so it wasn't like a stadium show, but the stories that I hear about club shows with the
hip, usually they were like full of expats, you know, showing off their Canadian-ness. And it was
file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20610.html
Page 4 of 9TTHTop40 610
2025-05-23, 6:04 PM
like, that's not, I saw them live on Canada Day one year and Gord was in a really pissy mood that
day. Oh, wow. And he came out at the beginning because they were throwing, people were
throwing bottles at Daniel Lanois. Oh my gosh. As he was performing, like Daniel fucking Lanois.
[15:19] Right? And so Gord came out and was basically just venom spitting. And at one point, you
know, somebody... I don't know whether somebody started to sing O Canada or something like that,
but he was like, it's not Canada Day, it's Friday. You know, I kind of, I can see his frustration, you
know. And poor Jane Sibbery on a lot of the tours, why they had her opening on some of their
tours, like Daniel Noir is sort of hard for the fans to overcome. And it's, he must have been
frustrated because they're not nationalistic, I don't think. They were just writers. They were just
musicians and wonderful songwriters as a unit. And I think towards the end, you know, they got the
other band members got a little overshadowed. But I think, you know, I think as a unit, I wish more
bands were that cohesive.
[16:15] And had as wonderful a history as they did, you know. 35 years with the same lineup, same
five guys. That's rare. We were discussing this with Alan Cross and, you know, he listed a litany of
bands that he felt, you know, lived up to that. And it was like, we thought about it afterwards and we
were like, no, no, like, you know, this band's a four-piece, this band's a three, like Rush is a three-
piece band. Rush has been, yeah. You know, and they had a different drummer for one, at one
point and, you know, stuff like that. So, yeah.
[16:53] Fascinating. where um where where do you go right now for your fix other than live music
which record do you throw on when you are feeling it or are you still as early in the process that
you're that you're you know listening to these records for the you know for the second or third time
or are you like deeply into them at this point i i love all of them after um you know i thought in the
beginning they were little rolling stones ish open g tuning um and as saskadel saskadelfia i i don't
that wasn't my thing at all but after um uh fully completely yeah any one of them i could i could put
on and, up through the end except for the.
[17:48] Mick Rock the producer Bob Rock I just don't, Uh, now I understand what happened, but
something happened in those two records I didn't care for. But other than that, I'll put on a Man
Machine poem all day. I don't get sick of their music. I don't get tired of it. This is so cool, Tracy
Formella. This is so cool. You have no idea. Uh, I've talked to a lot of hip fans at this point and, and,
um, it's so nice to welcome a new one to the club. You know, you're not, even though it's not new,
even though it's not new, it's like, you know, It's been since 20, I guess if you saw. 2016. 2016 or
2017, probably, right? It was like November, December. That would make sense if it was 2017
because he passed up over 2017. I mean, 2017, I'm sorry, 2017. Yeah. So you saw Broken Social
file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20610.html
Page 5 of 9TTHTop40 610
2025-05-23, 6:04 PM
Scene in December or November. Yeah, it was November or December, 2017.
[18:42] You know, I did some, just after lockdown, I worked for a friend part-time at a vintage guitar
store here in Silver Lake, California. I used to live in Silver Lake. I used to live on Taviat Street.
Which one? I don't know that road. Taviat. It's up the hill. Oh, you're in the hills. Yeah, yeah. This
was down by Hoover, by the freeway. And it's still there. And a lot of musicians get their guitars set
up there. And I was playing. I listened to your podcast, and I was listening to the one about
evolution. And I said, I should give that album another listen. And I put on, I was sort of in charge of
music when I was there. And I put on the record in background and the fellow came to pick up his
guitar. And he's looking around and he's saying, who's Canadian here? And I was like, oh, wow,
that thrilled me. And I said, somebody knew who they were, but he was from Canada. So anybody
who came in from Canada, the only thing I'd turn to them and say, tragically it. And their faces
would light up and they'd have a story. That's so great. They'd have a story.
[19:55] One guy cried because he felt such a loss about Gordon. He met Gordon on a golf course, I
think, once. And he told me the story and the owner of the shop came in and rolled his eyes like,
oh, no, you're not another one. You didn't entrap another fan. But nobody from the U.S. I was
running the other day, and I was at a light, Griffith Park Boulevard, and I heard New Orleans is
sinking.
[20:27] I heard it from a stereo and I looked over and there was a young gal in a station wagon of
some sort. And she was blasting the music and it was and she was like, you know, wow. And I ran
over to the car and I went, yes. And she went, yes. And I mean, it was so unusual. OK, that is the
best story ever that you went up to her. I was thrilled. I told friends that and they were like, so. So,
you know, and I probably had my listening to them on my AirPods. So I was like, well, where's that
coming from? Oh, that's tremendous. You know, I didn't ask if she was Canadian. I didn't talk to her,
but we just went like, yeah, through the window. So, you know. So what advice would you have for
somebody getting into the band? I thought about that before. And I thought maybe your favorites,
just to get an overview, because there's so much. I didn't do that, but, you know, and it didn't have
membership on it, which is one of my favorites, but I would point them to that, you know. And then
Day for Night and Violet Light, Fully Completely. You know, it's like, which one, which great record
do you want to recommend? But I haven't turned anybody on to them. Nobody is interested.
[21:55] Or I get, they're like R.E.M. Yeah, I mean, I think that's the only comparison you can make,
really, in terms of an American band. You know. I had seen Rariem since the beginning. I've seen
him many times, and I just never went there. I just, it's so different. I mean, so that's usually the
reaction I get. Unless they're coming into the guitar shop and they're Canadian, then you get a
file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20610.html
Page 6 of 9TTHTop40 610
2025-05-23, 6:04 PM
reaction. You get a history. You get a little anecdote every time. Yeah, it was great. Yeah. It was
great. So what do you say we get down to business and talk about the album of the week, Tracy,
from L.A.? Sure. All right. We'll take a quick break and we'll be right back after this. Hey, this is Paul
Langlois from the Tragically Hip saying hello. Now on with the countdown. 31.
[22:43] Music.
[26:52] Today, we are looking between the bars at the third track off the 2004 long play In Between
Evolution. Gus, the polar bear from Central Park. Tracy, what are your initial thoughts about Gus
the first time you heard this song? What were your initial thoughts?
[27:11] My initial thoughts were how ingenious it was with the lyrics anthropomorphizing this bear
and wondering, you know, no one's afraid of you anymore? Is that what it is? No one's afraid of
you? or they want to be, no one is afraid. And it really haunted me, those lyrics.
[27:37] Because if I, as a writer, I would have written, poor Gus is in a cage and he's depressed
because he's trapped and he wants to go home to the bears. But it wasn't like that at all. It was
from the inside out as if just isolated and lonely. But you didn't say that. It was just no one's scaring
you anymore, you know. And um it just resonated and it's plus it's a cool song it's a cool song
musically it's just wonderful rock song i think uh talk to me more about that it's just it's got it's got a
rhythm to it and it sounds like a bear in a way you know it's wild you know it sounds like a it sounds
i I don't think there's a word for that in music, but it just, you know, the grating guitar and the pulsing
bass. And it's just very, it's sort of a sad song to me in a sense, you know, but well done. I just, you
know, the whole record is something that came later, I think, for me. And it's just so wonderful. It's
such a rock and roll record. I love it. It really is very rocky, right? Yeah. And it's recording very raw
and it's kind of, Gord sounds a little different.
[28:57] Yeah. It sounds like more of a group project, like they turned on the mics and just went for it.
That's what I sense from it, but, you know. Yeah, I would love to, like, have you watched the
Amazon docuseries? Oh, of course. Yeah, I would guess so, yeah. That was my one, I don't want
to use the word beef, but they really, you know, covered some albums really fully and completely.
And then some other albums were just sort of like two sentences, you know, and it was like, I
wanted to know more about In Between Evolution. Especially the last two records. And then they
did this, and then, you know, so yes, as someone who wants to know more, you're better off
listening to a podcast with Mike separately, you know, to learn more about the band rather than...
[29:52] Just skimming the surface because they had a lot of time to tell those stories but maybe
file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20610.html
Page 7 of 9TTHTop40 610
2025-05-23, 6:04 PM
people they wouldn't have been able to sell that to america if it was just about recording a record
that no one's heard of maybe i don't know right i thought that was a terrific record and i'd love to
find out the um what went into these records what what it was like and and you did with the bob
rock, incident which cleared up so much for me and i'm i wish there was more of that nuts and bolts
and and raw edges of a band together for that long but uh you know what story that was that was
great oh yes wonderful so wonderful so yeah i believe they recorded this one in seattle with like a
producer that you know had alternative cred it sounded like it sounds like that yeah it does sound
like that right it doesn't have that early 90s production like that muddy sort of, you know, muddy
production that Alternative sometimes had, but it's got that polished version of it. Raw energy. But
it's raw. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I don't know how to describe it. Almost a day for a night. And I feel like
Gord was kind of just, you know, yelling in a way that was wonderful into the, you know, it just felt
very live to me and different. So I really enjoyed that. And Gus was a standout.
[31:13] Yeah, it is. And of course, vaccination scar and blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Well, vaccinations are
a great single. I'm just going to look up really quickly. I don't normally look things up in the middle of
this, but I want to look up really quickly.
[31:28] In between Evolution, this is riveting podcasting, I know, and somebody's looking for it. Is it
true that I haven't written jazz?
[31:36] I just want to see what the signals... It was, yeah, I thought it was a single. It was the third
single off the record. I mean, isn't that bananas? Yeah. That Gus was a single? It's not a single... I
don't think it's a single record. It's an album track.
[31:53] Yeah, but... So it's just hard, I guess, to figure this out. For America or a single, but it's not a
single album. It's just an album, you know, I think. And then the second one was, yeah, we won't go
into that, but yes, so that is an odd single. How do you explain that? I don't know. Gus. I don't know.
Yeah. Like even the title alone, right? Like is a mouthful. But he went for it. But he went for it. They
always take risks. I like that. That's the one thing you can tell. The records are a departure almost
every time. And I'm sure it was a fight between five guys with a lot of personality and, you know,
creative energy and working together year after year and putting out very different, you know,
records. I mean, I would love to hear more about that. Oh, me too. Yeah. Me too. Have you picked
up a copy of the book? Not yet, no. No? I would love to get one of the limited ones but I'll probably
find it on eBay in 10 years for a happy copy of the book and uh.
[33:13] I'd love to see it. I got the bookstore edition. The limited edition was just too rich for my
blood. I was like, oh, this kills me. Especially when they've got a box set coming out this year, you
file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20610.html
Page 8 of 9TTHTop40 610
2025-05-23, 6:04 PM
know, that I really want. What is that? I'm not sure. What's the box set? They're re-releasing up to
here. They're re-issuing up to here. So it'll be remastered and it'll be on vinyl. comes with a live
record and a record of Rarity's note takes as well. Oh, that's great. I hope they do that for the later
records eventually. They've done it for Phantom Power. Right. I mean, like, Plan A. Oh, I hope so
too. It's not going to happen. I don't have faith in it, but I hope so. Yeah, it's not going to happen. I
feel like there's a hipposance happening right now, though, like in general. Um, you know, I don't
normally talk business on this, but like podcast numbers are up. Like my tragically hit podcast
numbers are, are up. Uh, and the only thing to explain that is the docu series. And with the docu
series comes buzz and curiosity and maybe, um, you know, maybe it'll, it'll, uh, have a second,
second. I think, you know, people are seeing down here, you know, Gord and what was so
charismatic about him.
[34:43] And then, and the band, they just never experienced it. So I hope that like a girl in the car at
the stoplight are experiencing it for the first time like I did, you know. Oh, I love it. I love it. That's
great.
[34:58] Well, Tracy from L.A., it's been wonderful talking to you today. Thank you for having me. I
really hope your journey through HIPTOM continues and continues to make your life richer. This is
really a wonderful story to hear, and I'm thrilled that I had the opportunity. So, thank you. Well, so

Hey, it’s jD, and this week I’m joined by a bonafide convert — Tracey from L.A., a former “never-heard-of-’em” rocker whose pandemic-era dive into Long Time Running sent her on a full-blown Tragically Hip tear. And listen, when someone compares Man Machine Poem to a spiritual awakening? You lean in.
We talk about the bittersweet reality of falling in love with a band you’ll never get to see live. About hearing New Orleans Is Sinking at a stoplight and locking eyes with a stranger who just gets it. About putting In Between Evolution on at a vintage guitar shop in Silver Lake and watching Canadian expats break into tears.
Tracey might’ve entered late, but she’s gone deep. We talk Bob Rock beef, the overlooked genius of Now For Plan A, and the beautiful heartbreak of Introduce Yerself. There’s perspective here that’s not just fresh — it’s vital. Tracey reminds us that fandom isn’t about when you found The Hip. It’s about how the songs found you.
🎙️ Next week: We hop across the pond for a transatlantic sit-down with Matt from Portsmouth — whose Hip journey involves LimeWire, mini-discs, and a surprise backstage interview with Gord Downie himself. I shit you not.

👤 About Our Guest
Tracey from Los Angeles is a writer, musician, and former guitar tech with a passport full of shows but one glaring omission: The Hip. Since lockdown, she’s made it her mission to catch up — ripping through live bootlegs, deep dives, and vinyl sleeves like a one-woman Hip renaissance. You’ll find her in Silver Lake, spinning Now For Plan A, converting skeptics one guitar riff at a time.

Hey, it's JD here, and I am fucking pumped to be filling you in on the latest Podlist. What is a

[0:58] A member of the DATC Media family. Previously on the Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown. The
final song on the Phantom Power long play is Emperor Penguin, coming in at number 32. Mr.
Workman, what did you think of this track the first time you heard it? Well, I mean, I was just, I
mean, I get chills even thinking about it. I'm warmed by how playful how kooky and how
impressionist the lyrics are i'm just i i love so much about even even gourd sort of like his glib
dismissal of the of the we've got a uh a caller here with a bachelor degree talking alien invasion is
the only chance for unity i'm sorry to interrupt you caller but that's a physical impossibility the way
he he kind of he he it's a clip of of life that you we would hear if we were driving late at night and
hearing the am radio you know art bells absolutely.
[2:07] Hey, it's JD here, and welcome to the Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown. It's an absolute thrill
to be here with you week over week, where we're going to count down the 40 essential tracks by
the hip that you selected with your very own top 20 ballots. I then tabulated the results using an
abacus and Wilford Brimley's broken down pancreas. How will your favorite song fare in the
rankings? You'll need to tune in every week to find out. So there's that. This week, I'm joined by
tragically hip superfan, Tracy from Los Angeles. How the hell are you doing on this hiptastic day,
Tracy from LA? I'm doing great. The heat has broken a bit here, and it's beautiful out. Oh, that's
wonderful. It's actually here in Toronto. What are we, the 27th? 24. 24th of October. And it's 20, 20
degrees out right now here, like Celsius, Celsius. So like 75. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So got to
go out for a walk and get it while I can.
[3:18] Well, let's get right into this. Let's get right into your TTH origin story or your hipstery. Well, it's

a little late in the game. I was at before lockdown, I was finally able to see my favorite at the time
band in the world broken social scene. They were coming to Hollywood. And.
[3:42] It was a great concert. It was a smallish theater, and it was just, you know, Kevin Drew was
phenomenal. Yeah. And he started talking about someone he loved who passed away, and a week
or two before, I don't know, and I kind of heard the name, and he was so empathic with it, and it
was touching, but I didn't put it out of my mind. And a few weeks later or a month, I don't remember,
the documentary was on, Long Time Running. Right. And it was sort of getting towards lockdown.
And I put it on and I thought it was like a trucker documentary. I don't know what I thought, but if it's
a documentary, I watch it. And it was good. I mean, it was interesting to see the love for this band
from Canada. And I was, I found it out that being such a rock and roll fanatic since I was a kid and
playing music since I was a kid, I'd never heard of them. I just never heard of them. I'm from New
York, so I wasn't living in Omaha, but I was, you know, in LA.
[4:52] So I lived down the street from the Troubadour, so I mean, I saw everybody, but who are
they? And I put it out of my mind. And then the documentary was on repeat for some reason when
you're stuck in the house and can't go out because of the covid and it was as if every song had
been in my heart forever i know and it was so i never watched the full thing but the second time
every song they played just the music and i said this band.
[5:27] Is so phenomenal. And I don't know how I could have missed him. You know, I worked at a
recording studio in the 80s in Manhattan, and everybody was there, and I never heard of the
Tragically. So I made it my mission during lockdown to learn everything I could and listen to every
live show I could find on the internet and every record. And I just think that as a band, Not just
Gord, but as a band, it's my biggest regret that I'll never see them all together live. I think as a
band, they were just freaking amazing.
[6:08] My heart just sank for you when you said that. Like, I literally could feel like emotion, you
know? It was really, you know, and then learning about Gord after the fact and this tragedy. But I
felt it was this volume of music that I was gifted to learn and listen to for the first time at, you know,
my age, finding them and with a history. And so that was fun. I mean, it still is. I still am
investigating. This is really cool because so far of all the people I've spoke to, you are definitely the
newest hit band. So it's interesting to hear that story that even through the television, it's palpable.
You know TV nothing you know I mean I know that Canadians are very proprietary with this band
and I think and I respect that and I love Canadian singer-songwriters and musicians all my life but I
think of them as singer-songwriters and from Canada I don't think of that I don't have the
connection except for working up there and I feel like part of that is the reason they never crossed

Not that they wanted to or cared to after a while, but we never got to listen to them. Most of us in
rock and roll never heard of them.
[7:37] And maybe it's, you know, I feel like it's like you can't say anything about them because you're
not Canadian and there is a proprietary sense about the fans and maybe, I don't think that's right. I
think they're universal. Yeah.
[7:54] I can't, I can't disagree with you, you know, like I clearly I'm a big fan and I think they're
universal and I'm standing at the pulpit trying to, you know, get, get that music out there even more.
And it's really interesting. I think it was Rolling Stone just released an article a couple of weeks ago
about the taillights being bright for the Tribe of the Hip. Spin, I think it was Spin. Was it Spin? Okay.
Yeah. And it was really fascinating that, you know, at this point in their career, they are still
garnering as much interest. In fact, I'm going to a theater on November the 1st, which is next
Friday, to see the guys, along with their manager, along with Mike Downey. And I think Patrick will
be there. I'm not 100% certain. But you get a copy of the book.
[8:51] As part of your admission ticket. And then it's like a presentation, like a Q&A thing. And this is
like a pretty prestigious theater in Toronto, the Massey Hall. You probably have heard the Neil
Young album, live from Massey Hall. Yes, Massey Hall and the Rio Statics. That's right. You know
your Canadian music. Well, yeah. I mean, how did I miss these guys? I just don't understand. Yeah,
when you're into broken social scene And you're missing, you know, Broken Social Scene and
Reostatics and these bands, and you're missing the Tragically Hepped from that. That is
mysterious. It is mysterious. That is very mysterious. Maybe it's just, I just don't get it. I still get it.
And, you know, I think it's a credit to them that they, you know, broke into my heart, so to speak,
you know. Oh, I love the word. I think that's what they want to do. They're rock and roll, and that's
that. And then of course there was Gord's solo stuff getting to know that and.
[9:55] Not relating to the secret path, because we have our own issues around things like that. But
again, it was on, and I played it the second time, and the music just jumped out at me. And it was
the most beautiful record. And again, it's like, why aren't people listening to this here? I don't know.
And Introduce Yourself, which was heartbreaking and masterful. I just think that stuff is great. The
Coke Machine Glow and blah. I'm just really a big fan now. So take me through the journey of going
through the records. What was your pathway? Did you start at the start, or did you cherry-pick a
couple records off the top that you were hearing more about? Or what did that look like?
[10:48] You know, I love live music, and uh i think the first one i listened to was road apples because
i like the title or a bit and then i realized and then i you know listen to the live music and of course
file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20610.html
Page 3 of 9TTHTop40 610
2025-05-23, 6:04 PM
with the access we get now i figured that this band will be i will hear them through the years in their
live music that's accessible and i play them non-stop in the car um great shows that uh and then i
went back and went through the records um you know day for night in violet light.
[11:26] Uh in between evolution and one of my favorites that i think is underappreciated is man
machine poem agreed unfortunate release date but you know i i another one that i walked had it on
and walked by and i went the song machine would have been just a killer song in concert the last
song in the record and it just broke my heart it just was really cool you know so i think and and now
for plan a is another one i i i listened to and look at this i think it's great uh i was listening to this out
this morning rather i just held up my copy of now for plan a for those who are not on the live pay-
per-view feed i i just i think it's a terrific record and a terrific cover Yeah.
[12:20] It's a lot of fun. But the subject matter is not fun. You know, the subject matter of that record
is so deeply personal and tragic almost, right? Yes, the lyrics got more personal, I think, as time
went on because you have to, you know. I think if you're a lyricist like Gord was. But I feel like I'm
just as much a fan of somebody, you know, Jack the Ladd and Kingston, who discovered them in
high school. I really do. And sometimes I don't want to say that because I'm afraid I'll be attacked
as, you know, not Canadian enough. Oh, goodness. No, I would hope that's not the case. But going
back to your theory, you know, there's something really to that, that we do cleave to this band so
tightly that it can be difficult to access for other people that aren't as familiar with it. Even though
we're all evangelists, we're protected at the same time. I never heard them. You know, I mean...
[13:30] You just never heard them. So how can you access them if they were sort of hidden, you
know, to their frustration and to people who've lost out and not hearing them? And, I mean, as
much as Joni Mitchell's from Canada, I never listened to her as, you know, to learn about Canada.
Right. But she did sing about Canada and Saskatoon, whatever. You know, and they all sing about
their country and the Sex Pistols sang about England, but that didn't make me think of them as
English, you know. Right. It was fun, that group. And so the hip, I learned a lot about history,
Canadian history, because they were smart. He was smart and he taught people history, not only
Canadian, but, you know, I learned through him, but as I do many artists through the years. So I
don't think of them as Canadian, except for all the, you know, emotion of the last tour. I just listened
to them as a rock and roll band.
[14:33] Well, that's the way to do it, right? Yeah. Like, it always frustrated me to go to shows. I only
went to one in the U.S., but it was in Buffalo, so it was a stadium show. That's kind of a border
town. Yeah, so it wasn't like a stadium show, but the stories that I hear about club shows with the
hip, usually they were like full of expats, you know, showing off their Canadian-ness. And it was
file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20610.html
Page 4 of 9TTHTop40 610
2025-05-23, 6:04 PM
like, that's not, I saw them live on Canada Day one year and Gord was in a really pissy mood that
day. Oh, wow. And he came out at the beginning because they were throwing, people were
throwing bottles at Daniel Lanois. Oh my gosh. As he was performing, like Daniel fucking Lanois.
[15:19] Right? And so Gord came out and was basically just venom spitting. And at one point, you
know, somebody... I don't know whether somebody started to sing O Canada or something like that,
but he was like, it's not Canada Day, it's Friday. You know, I kind of, I can see his frustration, you
know. And poor Jane Sibbery on a lot of the tours, why they had her opening on some of their
tours, like Daniel Noir is sort of hard for the fans to overcome. And it's, he must have been
frustrated because they're not nationalistic, I don't think. They were just writers. They were just
musicians and wonderful songwriters as a unit. And I think towards the end, you know, they got the
other band members got a little overshadowed. But I think, you know, I think as a unit, I wish more
bands were that cohesive.
[16:15] And had as wonderful a history as they did, you know. 35 years with the same lineup, same
five guys. That's rare. We were discussing this with Alan Cross and, you know, he listed a litany of
bands that he felt, you know, lived up to that. And it was like, we thought about it afterwards and we
were like, no, no, like, you know, this band's a four-piece, this band's a three, like Rush is a three-
piece band. Rush has been, yeah. You know, and they had a different drummer for one, at one
point and, you know, stuff like that. So, yeah.
[16:53] Fascinating. where um where where do you go right now for your fix other than live music
which record do you throw on when you are feeling it or are you still as early in the process that
you're that you're you know listening to these records for the you know for the second or third time
or are you like deeply into them at this point i i love all of them after um you know i thought in the
beginning they were little rolling stones ish open g tuning um and as saskadel saskadelfia i i don't
that wasn't my thing at all but after um uh fully completely yeah any one of them i could i could put
on and, up through the end except for the.
[17:48] Mick Rock the producer Bob Rock I just don't, Uh, now I understand what happened, but
something happened in those two records I didn't care for. But other than that, I'll put on a Man
Machine poem all day. I don't get sick of their music. I don't get tired of it. This is so cool, Tracy
Formella. This is so cool. You have no idea. Uh, I've talked to a lot of hip fans at this point and, and,
um, it's so nice to welcome a new one to the club. You know, you're not, even though it's not new,
even though it's not new, it's like, you know, It's been since 20, I guess if you saw. 2016. 2016 or
2017, probably, right? It was like November, December. That would make sense if it was 2017
because he passed up over 2017. I mean, 2017, I'm sorry, 2017. Yeah. So you saw Broken Social
file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20610.html
Page 5 of 9TTHTop40 610
2025-05-23, 6:04 PM
Scene in December or November. Yeah, it was November or December, 2017.
[18:42] You know, I did some, just after lockdown, I worked for a friend part-time at a vintage guitar
store here in Silver Lake, California. I used to live in Silver Lake. I used to live on Taviat Street.
Which one? I don't know that road. Taviat. It's up the hill. Oh, you're in the hills. Yeah, yeah. This
was down by Hoover, by the freeway. And it's still there. And a lot of musicians get their guitars set
up there. And I was playing. I listened to your podcast, and I was listening to the one about
evolution. And I said, I should give that album another listen. And I put on, I was sort of in charge of
music when I was there. And I put on the record in background and the fellow came to pick up his
guitar. And he's looking around and he's saying, who's Canadian here? And I was like, oh, wow,
that thrilled me. And I said, somebody knew who they were, but he was from Canada. So anybody
who came in from Canada, the only thing I'd turn to them and say, tragically it. And their faces
would light up and they'd have a story. That's so great. They'd have a story.
[19:55] One guy cried because he felt such a loss about Gordon. He met Gordon on a golf course, I
think, once. And he told me the story and the owner of the shop came in and rolled his eyes like,
oh, no, you're not another one. You didn't entrap another fan. But nobody from the U.S. I was
running the other day, and I was at a light, Griffith Park Boulevard, and I heard New Orleans is
sinking.
[20:27] I heard it from a stereo and I looked over and there was a young gal in a station wagon of
some sort. And she was blasting the music and it was and she was like, you know, wow. And I ran
over to the car and I went, yes. And she went, yes. And I mean, it was so unusual. OK, that is the
best story ever that you went up to her. I was thrilled. I told friends that and they were like, so. So,
you know, and I probably had my listening to them on my AirPods. So I was like, well, where's that
coming from? Oh, that's tremendous. You know, I didn't ask if she was Canadian. I didn't talk to her,
but we just went like, yeah, through the window. So, you know. So what advice would you have for
somebody getting into the band? I thought about that before. And I thought maybe your favorites,
just to get an overview, because there's so much. I didn't do that, but, you know, and it didn't have
membership on it, which is one of my favorites, but I would point them to that, you know. And then
Day for Night and Violet Light, Fully Completely. You know, it's like, which one, which great record
do you want to recommend? But I haven't turned anybody on to them. Nobody is interested.
[21:55] Or I get, they're like R.E.M. Yeah, I mean, I think that's the only comparison you can make,
really, in terms of an American band. You know. I had seen Rariem since the beginning. I've seen
him many times, and I just never went there. I just, it's so different. I mean, so that's usually the
reaction I get. Unless they're coming into the guitar shop and they're Canadian, then you get a
file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20610.html
Page 6 of 9TTHTop40 610
2025-05-23, 6:04 PM
reaction. You get a history. You get a little anecdote every time. Yeah, it was great. Yeah. It was
great. So what do you say we get down to business and talk about the album of the week, Tracy,
from L.A.? Sure. All right. We'll take a quick break and we'll be right back after this. Hey, this is Paul
Langlois from the Tragically Hip saying hello. Now on with the countdown. 31.
[22:43] Music.
[26:52] Today, we are looking between the bars at the third track off the 2004 long play In Between
Evolution. Gus, the polar bear from Central Park. Tracy, what are your initial thoughts about Gus
the first time you heard this song? What were your initial thoughts?
[27:11] My initial thoughts were how ingenious it was with the lyrics anthropomorphizing this bear
and wondering, you know, no one's afraid of you anymore? Is that what it is? No one's afraid of
you? or they want to be, no one is afraid. And it really haunted me, those lyrics.
[27:37] Because if I, as a writer, I would have written, poor Gus is in a cage and he's depressed
because he's trapped and he wants to go home to the bears. But it wasn't like that at all. It was
from the inside out as if just isolated and lonely. But you didn't say that. It was just no one's scaring
you anymore, you know. And um it just resonated and it's plus it's a cool song it's a cool song
musically it's just wonderful rock song i think uh talk to me more about that it's just it's got it's got a
rhythm to it and it sounds like a bear in a way you know it's wild you know it sounds like a it sounds
i I don't think there's a word for that in music, but it just, you know, the grating guitar and the pulsing
bass. And it's just very, it's sort of a sad song to me in a sense, you know, but well done. I just, you
know, the whole record is something that came later, I think, for me. And it's just so wonderful. It's
such a rock and roll record. I love it. It really is very rocky, right? Yeah. And it's recording very raw
and it's kind of, Gord sounds a little different.
[28:57] Yeah. It sounds like more of a group project, like they turned on the mics and just went for it.
That's what I sense from it, but, you know. Yeah, I would love to, like, have you watched the
Amazon docuseries? Oh, of course. Yeah, I would guess so, yeah. That was my one, I don't want
to use the word beef, but they really, you know, covered some albums really fully and completely.
And then some other albums were just sort of like two sentences, you know, and it was like, I
wanted to know more about In Between Evolution. Especially the last two records. And then they
did this, and then, you know, so yes, as someone who wants to know more, you're better off
listening to a podcast with Mike separately, you know, to learn more about the band rather than...
[29:52] Just skimming the surface because they had a lot of time to tell those stories but maybe
file:///Users/jd/Desktop/TTHTop40%20-%20610.html
Page 7 of 9TTHTop40 610
2025-05-23, 6:04 PM
people they wouldn't have been able to sell that to america if it was just about recording a record
that no one's heard of maybe i don't know right i thought that was a terrific record and i'd love to
find out the um what went into these records what what it was like and and you did with the bob
rock, incident which cleared up so much for me and i'm i wish there was more of that nuts and bolts
and and raw edges of a band together for that long but uh you know what story that was that was
great oh yes wonderful so wonderful so yeah i believe they recorded this one in seattle with like a
producer that you know had alternative cred it sounded like it sounds like that yeah it does sound
like that right it doesn't have that early 90s production like that muddy sort of, you know, muddy
production that Alternative sometimes had, but it's got that polished version of it. Raw energy. But
it's raw. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I don't know how to describe it. Almost a day for a night. And I feel like
Gord was kind of just, you know, yelling in a way that was wonderful into the, you know, it just felt
very live to me and different. So I really enjoyed that. And Gus was a standout.
[31:13] Yeah, it is. And of course, vaccination scar and blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Well, vaccinations are
a great single. I'm just going to look up really quickly. I don't normally look things up in the middle of
this, but I want to look up really quickly.
[31:28] In between Evolution, this is riveting podcasting, I know, and somebody's looking for it. Is it
true that I haven't written jazz?
[31:36] I just want to see what the signals... It was, yeah, I thought it was a single. It was the third
single off the record. I mean, isn't that bananas? Yeah. That Gus was a single? It's not a single... I
don't think it's a single record. It's an album track.
[31:53] Yeah, but... So it's just hard, I guess, to figure this out. For America or a single, but it's not a
single album. It's just an album, you know, I think. And then the second one was, yeah, we won't go
into that, but yes, so that is an odd single. How do you explain that? I don't know. Gus. I don't know.
Yeah. Like even the title alone, right? Like is a mouthful. But he went for it. But he went for it. They
always take risks. I like that. That's the one thing you can tell. The records are a departure almost
every time. And I'm sure it was a fight between five guys with a lot of personality and, you know,
creative energy and working together year after year and putting out very different, you know,
records. I mean, I would love to hear more about that. Oh, me too. Yeah. Me too. Have you picked
up a copy of the book? Not yet, no. No? I would love to get one of the limited ones but I'll probably
find it on eBay in 10 years for a happy copy of the book and uh.
