<p>In this episode of&nbsp;<a href="https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/school-of-hip" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">School of&nbsp;Hip</a>&nbsp;Chaz and Heath&nbsp;welcome their first ever returning guest, none other than the&nbsp;Podfather&nbsp;of the Boneless Podcasting Network, co-host of the world’s greatest Van Halen podcast&nbsp;<a href="https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/and-the-podcast-will-rock" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">And the Podcast Will Rock</a>, and five more equally killer shows&nbsp;which you can learn about by clicking the link on his immortal name. Hello,&nbsp;<a href="https://bonelesspodcasting.com/hosts/corey-morrissette" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Corey Morrissette</a>!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In Hip news the boys talk about an upcoming live triple album&nbsp;set&nbsp;to mark the 10th&nbsp;anniversary of the band’s final tour before the death of their iconic&nbsp;frontman&nbsp;Gord Downie.&nbsp;The Tragically Hip Live: July 22-Aug. 20, 2016,&nbsp;will feature recordings from various stops on&nbsp;that historical tour.&nbsp;The day after the album’s release, on Aug. 22, the CBC will be rebroadcasting the band’s final show in the Hip’s hometown of Kingston, ON, a day that united&nbsp;roughly one&nbsp;third of the country! In other news, Corey schools Heath ‘n Chaz on the coming of a Hip approved ice cream flavour, coming in June from&nbsp;<a href="https://kawarthadairy.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kawartha Dairy</a>&nbsp;(headquartered, quite rightly, in Bobcaygeon, ON!)&nbsp;A delicious blend of maple whiskey flavored ice cream with dark, chocolatey chunks and rich, black cherry ripple. If they sent us some, we&nbsp;wouldn’t&nbsp;be mad!&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;on to Side B of Trouble at the Henhouse, released&nbsp;on this month,&nbsp;30 years ago!&nbsp;Full of Butts&nbsp;Wigglin’ Kids in the Hall accompaniment, canons shooting Coconut Cream, and an Apartment Song soiree wherein a strange lady shows off her ugly feet, does this side of deep cuts reflect a more playful Hip? And does it live up to the band’s epic&nbsp;previous&nbsp;output? Listen to the buried treasure that is Put It Off and you tell us!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Whether&nbsp;you’re&nbsp;a lifelong Hip fan or&nbsp;just curious&nbsp;about what makes this band so iconic in Canada, School of Hip is your guide to the sounds and the story of the Tragically Hip, one album side per episode.

Trouble At The Henhouse (1996) Side A with Superfan Chris Doucher

<p>In this episode of <a href="https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/school-of-hip" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">School of Hip</a> Chaz and Heath are joined by friend of the show and bonafide Tragically Hip Super Fan Chris Doucher, a comic book reporter whose work is featured at <a href="https://www.geeknerdnet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GeekNerdNet.com</a> and on the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/geeknerdnet/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GNN Instagram</a> page.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Chris shares the deep connection he feels to the lyrics of Gord Downie, with a special emphasis on two meaningful passages in particular, which he’s tattooed to his forearms (one featured on this very show). Talk also turns to his concert experience on that final tour, prior to Gord’s passing (yes, tears were shed in streams) and a humorous chance run-in with the Hip frontman and guitarist Paul Langois mere days later.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Then it’s off the races with Side A of Trouble at Henhouse. The acknowledged masterpiece of the collection is undoubtedly the tender Ahead by a Century, arguably the band’s biggest song. But did you know about an earlier version of the song, an eye-raising “dirty version,” as it’s been called? We also review a newly released cover of the classic, featuring City and Colour, Ruby Waters, and Boi-1da.&nbsp;</p><br><p>The ambitious album side also takes us to the Grand Canyon (Gift Shop) and brings us face to face with Kurt Cobain, reincarnated as a sled dog on Don’t Wake Daddy. This leads to a tale of from 1989 when the Hip and Nirvana played a gig together, pre-fame.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Other tunes from the classic album include: Springtime in Vienna, Flamenco, and 700 Foot Ceiling.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Whether you’re a lifelong Hip fan or just curious about what makes this band so iconic in Canada, School of Hip is your guide to the sounds and the story of the Tragically Hip, one album side per episode.
