Song of the Week - “Coffee Girl” by The Tragically Hip.
Tragically Hip are Canada’s favorite sons. Lead singer Gordon Downies instantly recognizable voice always takes me back to my time living in Vancouver.
From the Canadian Audiophile blog,
If ever there was a band to sum up the Canadian character, it would be Kingston’s The Tragically Hip. From the sun-yellowed prairies of Saskatchewan to the heavin’ metropolis of Toronto, from the rain-soaked lanes of Vancouver to the warmth of Nova Scotia, The Hip have criss-crossed Canada with their tales of love, struggle, passion, glory, and hockey.
The quintet has poetically told the stories of thousands, keenly engaging in the beautiful accounts of the fisherman, the longshoreman, the waitress, the businesswoman, the lawmaker, the hockey player, the truck driver, the farmer.
And now, with the world to all appearances crumbling ‘round us, frontman Gordon Downie and the band return to draw us near, hold us close, and open our eyes.
The Hip have dispatched Bob Rock again to serve as producer. His work on 2006’s World Container helped shake something loose and it’s exciting to see the band continue on the same path with their eleventh, the aptly-titled We Are the Same.
“Coffee Girl” is a catchy tune that avoids the angst and tension common to much of Tragically Hip’s offerings.

A handful of photos from the ARCH Halloween Party last night. The dude in drag with the American flag blouse is supposed to be Sarah Palin. The last photo is Sarah having a sloppy smoke break after more than a few beers. The lady dressed as PeeWee Herman is just creepy.
