Celebrating The Tragically Hip (with Rob Baker and filmmaker Mike Downie)
Description
Paul goes home to Canada for Christmas, and the maple syrup is flowing. We close out 2024 with a snow-covered treat, a special celebration of Record Store Day Canada's Ambassadors for 2024, The Tragically Hip. Celebrating their 40th year, the band were the subject of a retrospective 4-part Amazon Prime documentary, The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal, and a commemorative book, This Is Our Life. Paul chats with No Dress Rehearsal director Mike Downie (brother of The Hip's late lead singer Gord Downie), and then guitarist and founding member Rob Baker. There's even a (singing) cameo from Feist! If you love The Hip already, it's a celebration, if you don't know them, it's an education. Happy New Year!
