    The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Leave
    Jan 23 2026
    Every Wednesday night at 8pm ET, we spin the wheel and land on one randomly selected Tragically Hip song — then we discuss, debate, and dissect it with three panelists and a very opinionated live chat.This week, the wheel landed on “Leave” from In Violet Light (2002) — and we got into the groove, the two-part structure, Gord’s bird-heavy storytelling, and where this track sits in the album’s pacing (aka: the unsung bridge between heavy hitters).Next week’s random pick: “Wild Mountain Honey” from Music @ Work.This Week’s SongSong: “Leave”Album: In Violet Light (2002)Producer: Hugh PadghamFormat: Live panel + chat discussion (one song, one hour, no wrong takes)PanelistsAndrew (Winnipeg)Patrick (Toronto)Craig (Langley) (also plays in the Hip tribute band Gift Shop)What We Talk About (Highlights)Album “go-to” picks right now: World Container, In Violet Light, and We Are the SameWhy “Leave” feels like an album track / deep cut — and why that’s not an insultThe band’s groove (Sinclair + Fay love all over this one)The song’s structure: essentially two halves instead of a standard verse/chorus/bridge patternLyrical rabbit holes: quotes, birds talking to birds, and that killer line: “How do we learn to hurt?” (discussed, not solved — because Gord)Live history note from the panel: “Leave” appears to have been played live only a handful of times (per setlist research mentioned on the stream)Chat check-in: one-word reactions and a great listener description of the track as a “start the day” song — gentle, moving, pointed but laid backTimeline (from the stream transcript)[0:38] jD sets the table: the On Shuffle format + “no wrong takes”[1:47] Introductions: Andrew (Winnipeg), Craig (Langley), Patrick (Toronto)[3:36] “Go-to Hip record right now” discussion[10:43] Song discussion begins: first impressions + where “Leave” fits[18:31] Music deep-dive: groove, dynamics, structure (two-part feel)[24:09] The “birds” thread expands (and yes, people noticed)[35:31] Live-performance chat + setlist mention[48:09] Wheel spin: next week’s song is “Wild Mountain Honey”[49:54] Panelist plugs + shoutouts[53:01] Breadcrumbs teased for upcoming stuff + community reminderNext Week🎶 Next song: “Wild Mountain Honey” (Music @ Work)🗓 When: Wednesday at 8pm ET💬 How to participate: Jump into the live chat and bring your takes.Panelist Plugs (as mentioned on-stream)Andrew: Head Full of Radio (podcast) + Alphabet Soup (University of Manitoba radio show; archives mentioned)Patrick: The Deep Cover Show (on hiatus; returning around early February per the stream)Craig: Plays in Gift Shop (Hip tribute band).

  • Episode 103— Road Apples (1991)

    Episode 103— Road Apples (1991)
    Jan 19 2026
    Fully & Completely: Redux


    Episode 103— Road Apples (1991)


    A presentation of The Tragically Hip Podcast Series

    Hosted by jD and Greg LeGros

    If Up to Here was the sound of a band kicking the barroom doors open, Road Apples is what happens when they walk in knowing the room already belongs to them.

    Released in February 1991, this record lands right in the middle of a cultural earthquake — Nevermind, Ten, The Black Album, Out of Time, Loveless, Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Rock music is shedding its hairspray, sharpening its teeth, and looking for something that feels real again.

    And here come The Tragically Hip — louder, darker, more confident, and somehow more mysterious than ever.

    In this episode of Fully & Completely: Redux, jD and Greg LeGros dig into Road Apples as the moment where the band perfects their bar-band bravado — and then quietly starts planning their escape from it. Produced once again by Don Smith, recorded largely live off the floor, this album sounds like five guys in a room who trust each other completely… and aren’t afraid to push.

    We talk about:


    • Why 1991 might be the most important year in modern music
    • Road Apples as the band’s first true leap — not just forward, but outward
    • The brilliance of Little Bones as an all-time album opener
    • Gord Downie’s emerging lyrical mythos — cab drivers, King Lear, Macbeth, and prison-yard stares
    • How Cordelia and The Luxury reveal a darker, more literary Hip
    • Why Long Time Running becomes one of the band’s first truly communal songs
    • The quiet devastation of Fiddler’s Green
    • And how Last of the Unplucked Gems gently closes the door on one era… and opens another


    This is the album where the confidence hardens, the writing deepens, and the band stops sounding like anyone else. The last gasp of their blues-rock skin — and the first clear signal that something bigger is coming.

    School’s still in session.

    And things are starting to get interesting.

  • The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - You're Everywhere

    The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - You're Everywhere
    Jan 16 2026
    The Tragically Hip On Shuffle — “You’re Everywhere” (In Between Evolution)Episode SummaryWelcome to the very first episode of The Tragically Hip On Shuffle — a weekly live-streamed conversation where host jD and a rotating panel of fans spin the wheel, land on one randomly selected Tragically Hip song, and discuss, debate, and dissect it from every angle: lyrics, themes, musicality, album context, and the personal connection that makes Hip fandom feel like home.For the premiere episode, the shuffle lands on “You’re Everywhere” from In Between Evolution (2004) — a loud, sharp, post-9/11-era record produced by Adam Kasper that captures The Tragically Hip in full rock-and-roll form. From the opening riff to the vocal urgency in the chorus, this track becomes the perfect test case for what this series is all about: thoughtful takes, layered interpretations, and the shared realization that there’s rarely one “right answer” in Gord Downie’s writing.Panelists this week include:Tim (Columbus, Ohio) — co-host of the long-running music podcast Dig Me Out, and a proud defender of deep cutsRyan (Victoria, BC) — frontman of Nautical Disaster, a Tragically Hip tribute band, with a vocalist’s ear for emotional deliveryJustin (Vermont) — longtime Hip fan and Discovering Downie alum, bringing album-level context and a sharp eye for lyrical subtextTogether, the panel explores why “You’re Everywhere” feels both deeply personal and uncomfortably political, how In Between Evolution balances big guitars with uneasy undercurrents, and why this song—despite being lesser-played live—hits with the kind of emotional pressure that grows louder the longer you sit with it.And yes: the episode also features the first official On Shuffle tech gremlin moment, a brief detour to the green-room snack table, and a laminated birthday card signed “No.” So there’s that.In This EpisodeThe On Shuffle format: one random Hip song, one hour, zero forced takesFirst impressions of “You’re Everywhere” and why the groove is deceptively simpleThe vocals: urgency, desperation, and that “live-in-the-can” feelLyrics + themes: layered meaning, media saturation, democracy, identity, and memoryThe line “when I reel my Irish in” — and why it can mean 10 different thingsAlbum context: where “You’re Everywhere” sits in the In Between Evolution tracklist and why it works as a centerpieceRare live sightings: an early “workshopping” version with a different working title and lyricsProducer talk: Adam Kasper (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden connections) and how the Hip chose heavyweight producers across erasThe show’s mission: The Hip as refuge, ritual, and community hangKey Quotes“There are no wrong opinions. There are no wrong takes. But my hope is there will always be a moment.”“It’s a simple song structure… but it’s how they play it.”“Gord layers ideas — the subtext can run through the entire album.”Featured Song“You’re Everywhere” — The Tragically HipAlbum: In Between Evolution (2004)Next Week on The Tragically Hip On ShuffleThe shuffle chooses the next track live at the end of the episode.Next episode song: “Leave” from In Violet Light🕗 Live Wednesday at 8:00 PM ETAbout the PanelistsTim (Columbus)Co-host of Dig Me Out — a long-running podcast featuring album reviews, interviews, and roundtables spanning 70s, 80s, 90s, and beyond, with a special love for the underappreciated gems.Ryan (Victoria, BC)Frontman of Nautical Disaster, a Tragically Hip tribute band.
