Mike Downie (Gord’s brother) is currently working on a multi-part documentary on the Tragically Hip. There’s no title yet and we have no release date–but cool! Check out the video in this tweet. (Via Amber)

I was just in Cuba and they had “Canada Day”. I said I would play a few Canadian songs by the pool on my travel guitar. I played “1,2,3,4” by Feist, “Heart of Gold” by Neil Young, and then I asked the Canadians in the pool what band I *had* to play. They all replied, “the Tragically Hip!” and I played “Wheat Kings”.
