    They get a medal and the traditional right to hunt, kill, skin and eat baby seals. Not sure if they get one seal or each, or have to share.

    Tickets for the 10/24 show went on sale today. We got some rad floor seats. I'll be in the middle of a sea of dragon t-shirts and ponytails.

    Here's the third track they've released off of their forthcoming album.


    Here are the other two:

    Their shows are great. Glad to see more footage. Neil looks like Tom Hanks in Green Mile. Did he have a moustache in that?
    Geddy wore a RASH shirt last go 'round.

    Agreed! Rush are asshats.

    To once again quote a musician friend of mine (he was talking about Eddie Van Halen, but it fits for Rush too):

    "They're great musicians with shitty taste in music".

    Completely sums them up for me. Even the recent documentary couldn't warm me up to their music.

    I tried, I really did.

    HAHA!

    "Canadian rock icons Rush have issued a cease and desist letter against notorious rich wing demagogue Rush Limbaugh. While radio programs are usually allowed to use music without seeking specific permission, the band argues that Limbaugh's use of the music is for "political purposes" which is not covered by the blanket license afforded to broadcasters. The band issued a letter including this:

    The use of Rush's music in this way is an infringement of Rush's copyrights and trademarks. The public performance of Rush's music is not licensed for political purposes and any such use is in breach of public performance licenses and constitutes copyright infringement. In addition, the use of Rush's music in this manner implies an endorsement of the views expressed and products advertised on the show, and is in breach of not only copyright and trademark rights, but also, of section 51 of the New York Civil Rights Law. Accordingly, we hereby demand that you immediately stop all use of Rush's music and confirm that you will do so."

    I'm kind of indifferent to them. I have respect for Rush as talented musicians and can appreciate the complexity of their playing but sometimes they get a little too 'oodly' sounding for me.

    I have been quite enjoying my "Moving Pictures" Blu-ray in lovely lossless surround.

    Ian - do you at least like the instrumentals?

    RUSH goes well with both.

    Another endless day
    Silhouettes of grey
    Another glass of wine
    Drink with eyes that shine
    To days without that chill at morning
    Nights time out of mind
    Chorus
    Draw another goblet
    From the cask of '43
    Crimson misty memory
    Hazy glimpse of me
    Give me back my wonder
    I've something more to give
    I guess it doesn't matter
    There's not much more to live
    Another foggy dawn
    The mountain almost gone
    Another doubtful fear
    The road is not so clear
    My soul grows ever weary
    And the end is ever near

    I like them both better than RUSH.
