Transcript:
[0:05] On August 31st, 2023, The Tragically Hip dropped the first track from the Phantom.

[0:12] Power 25th Anniversary box set, a song called Bumblebee.
I will always remember this day because my friends Dan from London, Pete and Tim were in Toronto for our big live finale and the four of us were off to Kingston to visit the Bad Houseand sightsee the tragically hip scenes in Kingston.
The first thing we did inside the car was fire up Bumblebee.
It was so odd to hear something so familiar but so new to my ears.
I hadn't heard this melody or these bending guitar licks before and I wanted more.

[0:53] Lucky for us there are several other tracks included on this box set.
Songs we either hadn't heard, or maybe we've heard snips and pieces of in live performances, or maybe on a bootleg.
And of course there are complete song ideas that wound up on Gord's first solo record, Coke Machine Glow.
There is also a fantastic live show from Pittsburgh, demos, and alternate versions of songs that did make the final cut.
In essence, this is an exciting time to be a hip fan.
Although we are all collectively gutted that we'll never see our boys on stage again, as long as I've been a hip fan, I've clamored for these songs that somehow wound up on the cuttingroom floor.
And I'm sure you have too.

[1:41] Today we'll get a sense of what Dan, Pete, and Tim think of the Reissue and we'll speak with a very special guest about the making of this spectacular box set and so much more.
So sit back, relax, and let's start getting hip to the hip.

Track 4:
[2:23] Hey, it's Shadeen here and welcome back to Getting Hip to the Hip.
This is an out-of-sequence bonus, episode for everyone.
We are going to be talking today about the box set of Phantom Power, and I am joined as always by my friends Pete and Tim, and today's special guest again, Dan from London. How's itgoing, everybody?
Well, Dan got his ears lowered, looks like Dan got his ears lowered.
Yeah, I lost some hair over the course of the last thing, yeah.
He was shorn. Maybe it was his younger brother stepping in. Yeah.

[3:07] So fellas, when we last left off and we talked about Phantom Power, I recall the conversation really revolving around fireworks.
You guys both really loved that song.
Something On was a little underwhelming for you.
You got into Poets, you thought that was a good kickoff and here we are just like six months after, not even six months, like four months after releasing that episode and The TragicallyHip goes out and releases a 25th anniversary box set of Phantom Power.
So we thought it would be cool to get the band back together and talk about that for a little bit.
And we'll be joined by a very special guest who we won't reveal quite yet.
Is there anything that in particular, Pete or Tim, you remember about your experience with the record, thinking back, and Dan, for you following one of them, what was your experiencewith the record in general?

[4:24] Um, it's funny because I went back and I found my notes from the original and it's it's just crazy to look at.
It's like it's a it's a time it's a time capsule because, yeah, there were certain songs that was like, this is good.
And like and now I look at, like
