Coke Machine Glow is his first solo album, and, in my opinion, distills everything that's good about the Tragically Hip (namely, him) onto one fairly listenable record. It's got a shuffled up, improvised folk/beat poetry angle which can get a little messy at times, but it's also got some v. pretty acoustic tunes. If that's your bag.

what were the kids like at high school that liked the tragically hip, julien? i'd have a hard time picturing "tragically hip fan" but i was aware of those kinds of things years after their primetime fm radio big records. even if "new orleans is sinking" on 104.9 the WOLF today's BEST ROCK between "raise a little hell" and "how you remind me" is how i heard them most of the time, i sorta lumped them in with aging can-rock groups like 54-40 and sloan? cbc would play gord downie solo joints with the sadies and call him a "rocker-poet" or whatever. on another thread mark p described them as "a beery Canadian rawk institution that is mostly hated in non-populist circles for being, well, a beery Canadian rawk institution." there are lots of beery canadian rawk institutions and the hip never really fit in that slot. they sell out arenas, though. not sure what i'm trying to say here.
fuckin sucks. not sure what to say.
