But The Tragically Hip are playing the halftime show at the CFL's Grey Cup. And it's pretty good - this coming from a Canuck who doesn't particularly like them that much.

Some of you guys must like this band, nu?

If I had to pick one mainstream Canadian act to perform at a halftime show, it would be the Hip. It sure beats the has been's they usually feature (BTO, Guess Who, etc).

they were really good. makes me wish i went to go see them when they passed through edmonton. hey, and speaking of mainstream canadiana, anyone here a blue rodeo fan? i saw a short bio of them on friday and it reminded me of how great they are.

I only own one album from the Hip (...Henhouse), but I dig it. I will always take the Guess Who, though, but that's just me.

In other non-tittie news, Macca his headlining the Super Bowl halftime show.

The first thing I thought was Janet from Three's Company, who I always thought was cute.

paul mccartney for the superbowl this year. wonder how many'd pay to keep his shirt on!

My suggestions:

For the Hip, buy this...

... and, unless you totally love it, leave all their other albums alone.

When it comes to Blue Rodeo, buy this...

... and leave all their other albums in the CD store's racks.

And if I was looking for a Janet, I'd go for Mrs. Gretzky...

... and forget about all the others.
