It kicks off with two CDs of music aptly named Yer Favourites. The 37 digitally remastered songs were chosen entirely by fans, with the exception of a pair of new tracks, a wry rocker dubbed “No Threat” and the understated “The New Maybe.” The collection embodies the band’s appeal; whether you’re a fan of alternative music, mainstream rock, or bluesy country, the Hip make music that just feels really good to listen to. The package also includes two DVDs: the first, entitled “That Night in Toronto” is a concert that captures all the charm, eccentricity, and enthusiasm fans expect in a great Hip show. Highlights include a unique moment in which cameras capture thousands of fans singing along passionately to lyrics detailing Canadian war history (”Nautical Disaster”), as well as amped-up versions of older tracks, from “Blow at High Dough” to “Little Bones.” The second DVD includes all of their previous videos, some low-key short films that were used as backdrops to live shows, and a charming, 50-minute documentary of daily band life entitled “Macroscopic.”
Yup, I likes it!

I don’t know why.. because by all the songs and shit I really SHOULD like the hip, but i really reallly REALLY don’t.
Not to say i don’t like the songs, because I have heard other bands sing them and loved it. But the dude who sings for them just arritates something in the base of my brain and makes everything in m yhead scream for escape… it’s truely aweful.
Like I said, no idea why.
But I am glad you like it
O.M.G you don’t like gord downie?! LMAO I love the hip, ever since I first heard “ahead by a century” when I was in whitehorse for the summer.
I am so sorry.. hahah.. i really don’t! I like the misic alright, but that mas HAS to just never ever EVER sing again!!
I don’t know why.. it is just this stabbing pain reflex when i hear his voice. It’s not my fault! I really WANT to like the hip, I do.. I just CAN’T…. !!!
