Pillars of the community since 1921. Joining me today, the man behind getting hip to the hip, FOTM, Jamie Dew. Hey, Jamie, is it Jamie Dew or is it JD?
Starting point is 00:01:44 What is the current handle by which you want to be referred to? Well, I go by JD on all the podcasts. It's funny. It started out with me going with JD on a pavement podcast to be sort of mysterious. And it's just stuck because the people that I met along the way call me JD now. Well, I noticed the change. I mean, forever I knew you as Jamie Dew. And then I noticed, like I picked up clues here and there
Starting point is 00:02:09 that you were going as JD. Now, JD is pretty damn cool. There's been some other JDs, but you're the definitive JD in my humble opinion. I like it. I'll be the FOTM JD. FOTM JD, absolutely. Now, JD, this day that we're recording is August 25th.
Starting point is 00:02:31 This is a Friday. There's a big event taking place on September 1st, 2023. I've been talking about it. It's called Getting Hip to the Hip. But you're the man of the hour. So I'm hoping you can tell me how the evening's gonna go and just a little context is uh yesterday i sat down here with mike epple from breakfast television and uh city news 680 and mike epple was excited to tell me he bought a ticket
Starting point is 00:03:01 for getting hip to the hip i saw that yeah but he wanted to know i said something like oh can we sit together and then he said to me oh it's not a sitting thing is it and then i realized i need jd to tell me what's gonna happen on september 1st like so walk give me like a vibe like sure i know sean cullen's involved but you all be quiet. Let's listen to JD and you're going to paint a picture of what's going to transpire September 1st. And then hopefully a bunch of FOTMs listening grab tickets at gettinghiptothehip.com. And if they want to save 10%, there's a promo code. And that promo code is FOTM10. That's FOTM10.
Starting point is 00:03:42 So JD, tell us what's going down September 1st. All right. I feel like a wrestler all of a sudden. Well, you know what? Lately... You're Billy Red Lions. I've been slipping into that mode lately, and I blame Stu Stone.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Like, I had Stu on, and I played some Macho Man Randy Savage promos with Mean Gene Okerlund. Yes. Yeah, I actually dig that vibe, and I will slip into it now and then. So, tell us. September 1st, The Rec Room. Give us the deets.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Okay, so the deets are, if you're a Tragically Hip fan, you probably need to be here, because this is a Tragically Hip-centric show, and there's lots of Tragically hip to be had at the show so the way it's going to break down is this you're going to walk into the rec room anytime after 6 30 p.m when the doors open and uh you don't have to be there till 7 30 because that's when the show starts but the show will start with our friend sean cullen doing uh some stand-up and setting the table for the evening and uh it should be a great great time i'm really looking forward
Starting point is 00:04:53 well if i may sean cullen is very funny right absolutely he's an fotm he's been here in person and he's a funny mofo that guy is hilarious sure Sure is. He can just go. How did you get Sean Cullen? That's a mad TV level here. That's huge. You know what, Mike? You're going to appreciate this more than anybody, I think. I reached out and asked him. That's your secret.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I've been doing that for 11 years, but I didn't want anybody to figure out my secret. So I have to delete that now, edit that out of this episode. So yeah, I reached out and asked him and he said, it sounds like fun. And then he asked what the date was. And I thought, oh, I'm euchreed because the date is Friday, September 1st. And that's a long weekend. And so I know there's a lot of FOTMs and non-FOTMs that go away this last weekend of the summer or they're taking their kids to uni or they're
Starting point is 00:05:50 otherwise busy. But if you are here in the city and there's like 5 million of you, for 40 bucks, I think you've got a pretty nice night out in Toronto now. It's only 40 bucks? That's right. Do you know what they want for like Bob Dylan at Massey Hall? I have no idea. 150? So you know, okay, speaking of bob dylan at massey hall i have no i don't know
Starting point is 00:06:05 so you know okay speaking of fo teams there's an fotm named john donabee and john donabee you know has been going to dylan shows since the 60s okay oh wow just sees i don't know how many times he's seen dylan but you know this is a guy who was you know visiting leave on helm uh on his deathbed let's tell how inside John Donabee is. He's been in Toronto Radio forever. But John Donabee was talking about trying to get tickets to see Bob Dylan. And he said something,
Starting point is 00:06:35 some seat he was looking at is now like over $1,000. What? This is, I read this yesterday. Anyway, but you're getting hip to the hip. Now, Dylan is not. Dylan is not going to be there. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:48 But Sean Cullen is Dylan-esque and 40 bucks. But, you know, you can save 10%. So if I do the math on that, 36 bucks. That's right. See how good I am at math, Jamie? Oh, sorry, JD. You are because I was going to say 38, 50 or something. You would have screwed it up.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Okay. you are because i was going to say 38 50 or something you would have screwed it up okay so sean cullen is going to do his sean cullen this which is worth 36 bucks unto itself but then what happens but then what happens is he's going to kick to a tragically hip tribute band called 50 mission who i just saw for the second time last weekend and 50 mission is they build themselves as canada's most most authentic uh tragically hip tribute um that's up for debate but you have to be there to see it to debate it okay so i have a question when 50 mission when 50 mission sings uh the line uh looked up to the lord above and said hey man thanks will they say looked up to the gourd above and said hey man thanks i can ask them because i just want to know like if that's what they do because to me a tragically that's what a tragically hip a good tragically hip cover band should do they should
Starting point is 00:07:55 look up to the gourd above and say hey man thanks yeah okay so i'm digging it because we can't see the tragically hip anymore so we we have the next best thing. You have a tribute band, we'll call it, or whatever, cover band. So we got Sean Cullen, then we have 50 Mission. They're going to play live, and then what? That's right. Then we're going to take an intermission because after that set of music and comedy, you're going to need a breather and a drink from Long Slice Brewery,
Starting point is 00:08:22 and we're going to be able to satiate your thirst for sure. I hear they're good. They're the second best brewery in the city. I'll accept that. I'll accept that. I do love Great Lakes a lot. Big fan of Hazy Mama.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Well, your next event we should bring you in cahoots with GLB and then we can all be in one family. Oh, hey. Yeah. Because this is, as of right now, this is just a one-off. But I was just talking to a friend today that's like, why don't we make this like an annual thing? Why don't we make this an annual hip fest?
Starting point is 00:08:58 Well, then we just have to, you and I have to get together and make sure that, because I do an early September TML. It was going to be the day before your show and now it's after, but yeah, we'll get in cahoots to make sure that, uh, FOTMs don't have to choose TMLX versus, uh, getting hip to the hip.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Okay. So I'm, I'm down with this. So there's an intermission and people can have a beer and, you know, meet, uh, Mike Apple.
Starting point is 00:09:23 That's right. Put that on the poster and toronto mike okay well yeah i didn't know if i'm not apple ask you should have seen bojana when i uh when she saw mike apple yesterday this was a video i shared on uh the app formerly known as twitter you guys should check it out but it's also i'm so glad you're calling it the app formerly known as twitter and not x no please no way but i will say it's also on torontomic.com. So go there and check that out. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:47 So what happens after the intermission? After that, we come back and Sean Cullen does some more material. Wow. To bring us back into the second half. And he will throw to our podcast called Getting Hip to the Hip. And we will record live, uh, our final episode for that podcast.
Starting point is 00:10:09 So we're well at work on that. We've got Tim flying in from Portland, Oregon. We've got Pete flying in from Malaga, Spain. Wow. And, uh,
Starting point is 00:10:20 you know, they're going to sit down with me and we're going to do our last podcast and it's going to be sad and cathartic and all the rest of it. But, uh, it's, it's, you know, they're going to sit down with me and we're going to do our last podcast and it's going to be sad and cathartic and all the rest of it. But, uh, it's, it's, you know, it's the end of the summer. So it's fun to do a, uh, it's fun to record a podcast in front of a live studio. Like I've done this at some TMLX events and it's a, it's a rush. Like it's, it's, cause you're not a heavily edited show, right? So it's all going to be like live to tape, right? Yeah. Okay. amazing.
Starting point is 00:10:46 So remind me, not remind me because I don't think I know the answer, but so if things get started at 7.30 with Sean Cullen, approximately what time will you finish your recording of the finale of Getting Hip to the Hip? We go on at 9.10 and we go till 9.45 and then we throw to a whole other set of 50 mission so you get another set of 50 mission it's gonna be a great night and it's a friday night too so thank you because uh no one you know we can uh ideally sleep in the next day so this is that's
Starting point is 00:11:18 right okay and it also the last thing i can tell you is it also culminates the end of our silent auction. Our silent auction will begin this coming Monday. And it ends the Friday of the show. And we've got some freaking great prizes. I got a $500 gift card from Barbarian Steakhouse. Wow. I've got an iPad. But you know, at that steakhousehouse that only gets you an appetizer
Starting point is 00:11:46 I've got an iPad I've got a KitchenAid sand mixer I've got a print of Gord called Hey Man Thanks that you should look up on stickmanfinearts.ca which is great I've got some pictures from David Bastido,
Starting point is 00:12:05 who is the official hip tour photographer. Uh, one that I want to bid on really bad. Cause it's just a shot of, of it's just, well, it sounds kind of gnarly when I say this, but it's a shot of Gord's like crotch kind of it's his belt.
Starting point is 00:12:19 You can see his belt and you can see the stuff hanging off his belt and his hanky in his pocket. And I hope that's a hanky in his pocket. Wow. It's really cool. We've got an autographed hip record, a seven-inch, autographed by the living members of the Tragically Hip.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Which album? It is Montreal, the Montreal seven-inch. Oh, cool. I'm going to be in Montreal tomorrow. Oh, yeah? Yeah, I'm joking. You mentioned, you know, FOTMs driving their kids to uni. Well, I'm
Starting point is 00:12:48 getting it out of the way because I guess they start earlier in Quebec or something. So I'm driving my daughter to McGill tomorrow. Oh, that's awesome. That explains your tweet the other day that all your money goes to York and McGill. That's right. Is that a tweet? I don't know. That might have been a private
Starting point is 00:13:03 correspondence. Oh, you can delete that. I'm so sorry no no no it's no it's true it's true all all my money goes towards because uh i worked at a grocery store and paid for my tuition and for some reason this is not what happens like i have decided that my kids should get a free uh post-secondary uh well free free to them, I guess. I don't expect them to work and pay for their stuff. If they do, that's bonus. But I mean, me and their mom can cover their expenses. There you go.
Starting point is 00:13:35 I'm not, I don't, you know, you can edit that out. Do you think I edit anything out of this podcast? No, it's funny for our bonus content that we do. I don't edit anything. And we started the sixth and last bonus episode we recorded the other day and we got into this huge global warming debate and that's the first time i've edited shit out i was just like nobody needs to hear why does somebody uh not believe that global warming is a thing no no gosh no no everybody was everybody was on board it just it just was so much of a tangent that it was like it got away from us talking about the tragedy.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Don't you find it interesting when you're like, maybe you bond with someone over a band or like a sports team or whatever, and you have all these great chats, and then somehow maybe something, I don't know, maybe something in the news pops up, like let's say, I don't know, a mugshot of a former president,
Starting point is 00:14:19 and you're like, oh, that's the first time, that's the first time we had a mugshot of a former president of the United States. And then maybe you hit, then that leads to them saying something like uh that election was so rigged i can't believe that election was rigged and then you have that moment of like you really sometimes you just don't know and it's like what where do you go from there it's like oh okay um i don't know where to go from here it depends on how close you are with the person. Because if you're really close to the person, then you immediately throw it into reverse
Starting point is 00:14:49 and turn your wheel hard left to do that U-turn and get out of that conversation whatever way you can. Yeah, abort, abandon ship. Right. It depends whether, can you live without this person or whatever. That's right. Yeah. If not, you hit the U-turn.
Starting point is 00:15:03 But if they're a casual friend, it's like like i don't know how to be your friend anymore but anyway it's interesting times we live in okay so jd now we have a idea of what's going on at the rec where's the rec room the rec room is uh oh my goodness by the dome right or boulevard bremner boulevard right across from the sky dome yeah right across from from the Rogers Center. No, it's the diamond, the ballpark formerly known as Sky Dome. That's right. Oh, that's a great name. Yeah, just like the app formerly known as Twitter. We don't have to change these names.
Starting point is 00:15:34 And as far as Mike's question goes, it will be there will be some places to sit but there will be a dance floor as well. I expect Apple will be on that dance floor the whole time. Maybe he's going to bring Bojana i'm not too sure okay so now we have a better idea so where's the best place to throw people getting hip to the hip.com i think that's the best place to go or you can do a search on eventbrite but the best place is getting hip to the hip.com and
Starting point is 00:15:59 then you click on the on the main page there's a link for tickets you click on that and you're good to go okay so you can spend 40 bucks on this ticket, which is a great value and a great deal, but you can also spend $36 on this ticket if you use the promo code FOTM10. So do that. Okay, so Jamie, JD, Jamie, I guess you don't mind if I slip once in a while.
Starting point is 00:16:18 I do slip up, but tell me, I mean, I'm the guy who said we're going to kick out cover songs of, I know, we're going to kick out Tragically Hip cover songs, which that sentence would irk Jay Gould because he would want me to say, we're going to kick out. Yeah, the Tragically Hip. Cover songs by the Tragically Hip. Yeah, but then you got to flip it. You have to twist the sentence. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Because I always write it, the Tragically Hip. And it's like, you have to think about it so much more. Yeah. Because it's weird. It's awkward. It's awkward. But regardless, we all love this band. That's why we're talking.
Starting point is 00:16:52 And I'm going to share with the FOTMs in this episode. I'm going to share some of the great covers of the Tragically Hip songs. And I'm wondering, what is your favorite cover ever of a tragic of see that's where it's awkward that's right yeah uh the tragically hip song that is really awkward you want to say what's your favorite cover of a tragically hip song and that's what i'm gonna say it's my show okay yeah you're the boss what's's your favorite cover? I really like Sarah Pauly doing that version of Courage. Sweet Hereafter. From the Sweet Hereafter.
Starting point is 00:17:32 The most accessible Adam McGuigan movie there is. It was the one that I could actually watch the whole thing and really enjoy. And don't know if he's an FOTM, sorry. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet, but he'll be there. He'll be in the chair soon enough. Unless I've just scared him off. But yeah, I think it's lovely.
Starting point is 00:17:55 It's haunting. It's eerie sort of almost. It really fits the tone of that film. And she does a great job. I don't know that she's bad at anything. It's almost irritating. Well, she has an Oscar JD.
Starting point is 00:18:12 That's right. I forgot about that. Yeah. She's, she's an Oscar winner and yet her version of courage is a haunting and beautiful. And I love it too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Watch the band through a bunch of dancers Quickly Follow the unknown Something More familiar Something more familiar Quickly Something familiar
Starting point is 00:18:59 Courage, my word Didn't come, it doesn't matter Sleepwalk So fast asleep in the mountain.

Starting point is 00:22:04 Didn't come, it doesn't matter Courage, my word, didn't come, it doesn't matter Courage couldn't come at a worse time Speaking of the app formerly known as Twitter, I posed the question on Twitter, what is your favorite cover of a song by the Tragically Hip? Michael Lang, the only person other than yours truly to appear at all 12 TMLX events. We'll see if he's at TMLX 13 on September 7th from 6 to 9 p.m. at Great Lakes Brewery.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Southern Etobicoke campus will be fed by palma pasta. But I digress. Michael Lang wrote, I always liked the stereophonics version of Fiddler's Green. September 17 For a girl I know it's Mother's Day The sun is gonna lift And that's where he will stay The wind on the weather vane
Starting point is 00:23:48 Tear in blue eyes sailing in As false staff sings a sorrowful refrain For a boy in fiddler's green Tiny knotted heart Well, I guess it never worked too good. The timber tore apart. And the water gouged the wood. You could hear her whispered prayer
Starting point is 00:24:49 For men at mass that always land The same wind that moves ahead Moves a boy through fiddler's grain Nothing changed anyway Oh, nothing's changed anyway Oh, anytime today He doesn't know us so And there's nowhere that he's really been But he won't travel alone, no, not in fiddler's green.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Balloons are filled with rain, as children's eyes tend to sleep with me And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain For a boy in fiddor's grin. Not to be outdone by Michael Lang, it's the VP of Sales, Tyler Campbell, who wants us to know he digs FOTM Hawksley Workman's cover of Emperor Penguin. Like the tone of your trumpet Come on, let's spill some paint let's raise a glass of
Starting point is 00:27:27 milk to the end of another day and to the kiss that's still intangible the kids are all right just unmanageable they won't do a damn thing that you say say Your voice is all detached on a radio wave breeze We have another caller with a bachelor degree Talking alien invasion is the only chance for unity Well, sorry to interrupt you, caller But it's a physical impossibility It's a physical impossibility It's a physical impossibility
Starting point is 00:28:41 You'd be tossed up or washed up, the narrator relates In a Spartan and Arctic camp, walk for many days Meet with ever a penguin Devotion to the egg And their women are swimming From half an ocean away Don't sound so detached, cause this is you and me Just give me your opinion, before you turn to leave Your crust is just incredible, and the radio was edible When you said, don't wipe your asses with your sleeve
Starting point is 00:30:02 It's a physical impossibility You're a physical impossibility It was a physical impossibility El Grego chimes in to let us know that the performance of the Tragically Hip with Feist on lead vocals of It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken still gives him shivers. Now this is the band, but Gord sadly no longer with us. It's Leslie Feist on lead. Is that a cover? Debate this amongst yourselves. I don't really care. I'm going to allow it. yourselves. I don't really care. I'm going to allow it. Here it is. Congratulations to the Tragically Hip on a well-deserved honor. And Gord Downie is greatly missed by so many because we
Starting point is 00:31:15 know how much Gordon cared about other people during his life and career as a singer-songwriter of international acclaim. I'm standing here beside the Alan Slate Stage, still under construction here at historic Massey Hall, where I shall be presenting myself, hopefully in the fall. But tonight, our humanitarian award recipients, in a very rare appearance, will be performing in this beautiful house of music, along with their dear friend, Leslie Feist.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Ladies and gentlemen, the Tragically Hip. In the color of the night In all the smoke in one light gives way to shaky movements improvisational scales a forest of whispering speakers that swear that we will
Starting point is 00:32:47 Get with the times In current health to stay Let's get friendship right Get life day to day In the forget-gust-gates dream For a countervailing war Diverse as ever seems, receding on a need to know In the face of a full-meat meal, as to almost make it low
Starting point is 00:33:20 For a good life we might have to weaken Find somewhere to go There's no somewhere we're needed Find somewhere to grow There's no somewhere we're needed In the color of the night You almost spoke in one light Almost spoke in one line Gives way to shaking movements Improvisational skill A forest of whispering speakers
Starting point is 00:34:18 Let's swear that we will Get with the tide Anchor and help the state that we will get with the time in the current healthy state let's get friendship right get life day to day in the forget
Starting point is 00:34:37 your sweet dreams for the council and the war the first time we've seen the ceiling on the meeting door Until they look, whoa Diverse as ever seen The seeding on the mead, you know In the face of the need To almost make it
Starting point is 00:34:54 For a good life We might have to begin Find somewhere to go Somewhere we need Find somewhere to go Let's go somewhere we need it Find somewhere to go Let's go somewhere we need it Find somewhere to go Let's go somewhere we need it
Starting point is 00:35:20 Find somewhere to go Let's go where we need Cause when you forget what speaks true We can hang your head up Endeavor says that the seals will know which way to go FOTM Justin Rutledge has many great covers of tragically hip songs. David McPherson, who is returning to Toronto Mike soon,
Starting point is 00:36:09 he's got a new book coming out. He chose Justin Rutledge's version of Grace 2. He said I'm fabulously rich Come on just let's go She kinda bit her lip Gee, I don't know But I can guarantee There'll be no knock on the door I can guarantee There'll be no knock on the door
Starting point is 00:37:14 I'm a total pro That's what I'm here for I come from downtown All ready for you Armed with will and determination Grace too The secret rules of engagement Are hard to endure When the appearance of conflict Beats the appearance of force
Starting point is 00:38:24 But I can guarantee You'll be no knock on the door I can guarantee That you're all pro here That's what I'm not going down Born ready for you Armed and scared against frustration Grace to be Thank you. I'm here now, Mom Here, now Mom, hell Here, now Stephen Dame, who maintained a website I frequented often
Starting point is 00:40:20 to learn about the music of the Tragically Hip, he points out that FOTM George Strombolopoulos had a tribute show in 2016 that featured many bands doing many covers of the Tragically Hip. One such song, requested by Marcasaur, is By Divine Rights' Ahead by a Century. Here's By Divine Rights. First thing we climb a tree
Starting point is 00:40:49 Then maybe then we'll talk Or sit quietly And listen to our thoughts Illusions that someday we'll be cast in a golden light there's no dress rehearsal
Starting point is 00:41:12 this is our life that's when the hornet stung me I had a feverish dream Bigger than the dawn And tonight we'll smoke them out You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century
Starting point is 00:41:52 You are ahead by a century Stare at the morning shroud And then the day begins I tempted your crowd You tempted my head Rainfalls in real time Rainfalls through the night No dress rehearsal This is our life.
Starting point is 00:42:59 And that's where the horn gets stung me I have a serious dream Bigger than the dust And tonight we must, we must You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are a century Disappointment is bringing me down
Starting point is 00:43:52 Bringing me down I'm not afraid of the dark You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead head by century You are a head by century The disappointment is bringing the doubt What is by Divine Right. What a beautiful version of Ahead by a Century.
Starting point is 00:45:29 They had a great tour. Jeff Dudding chimes in with the Skydiggers doing the first part of the Depression Suite. They call it The Rock. Under the pillow, I bury my head and try to shut Chicago out. As it turns out, there's a whole other world of sound Of perfect fifths, low skids and arctic howls All saying, are you going through something? Are you going through something?
Starting point is 00:46:51 Are you going through something? Under the pillow, a little room to breathe The early morning lights A pale cranberry I hear the ah Not now, ah Of a siren far away and closing steadily it's saying are you going through something
Starting point is 00:47:39 are you going through something? Cause I, I, I am too. Under the pillow, I can hear you whispering. Are you going through something? Well, honey, are you going through something? Are you going through something? Then I, I, I am too And I, I, I am too Both Scott Merritt and Joni Schmitke
Starting point is 00:49:31 requested Ruben and the Darks, cover of Bob Cajun.
