i had an unexpected talk about the hip last night. i couldn't remember the name of this track.

for those unaware, their singer was recently diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. they're doing a final tour. i hope he gets through it.

i think the hip have been overrated in canada, and underrated outside of it. their influence as canadian cultural icons probably never extended outside of a subculture, and that subculture got left in the 90s.

at the end of the day, which is coming soon, they will have amassed a collection of mediocre records and a really, really, really good greatest hits collection. but, as is usually the case with rock bands, the record label will fuck the choices up. hit spotify for some fan takes on this.
