In A Word...Rush

Our boys from that place up north just released, literaly, just released a new single(s) from their upcoming album Clockwork Angels on iTunes. Thank Christ. I'm dying for some new music, and since I don't have enough time at all to research new bands, old reliables like Rush will have to do. Actually I'm way to busy to even know what the hell is going on in the world. I'm sure our resident socialist has been doing that just fine. Anyways I downloaded both tracks without even even a preview, because on memorial day when the world salutes the heroeos from the past, except for our resident socialist, I know Rush is just like a fellow soldier in a fox hole, they have my back. And I have to say, yes, they do. Great songs, here's a breakdown.

Caravan - Awesome.

BUB2 - Just as awesome.

That's all you need to know.

Oh yeah, apparently Clockwork Angles will be a concept album just like the Bible (2112). Can't fucking wait until 2011. And I can't wait until 2012 for a different reason. Just ask the resident socialist why I can't wait for that.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I love Rush!!!!!!!!!!! Probably will Facebook it. I'm sure our resident socialist has something snotty and elitist to say about Facebook also. Whatever, WOOOOOOOOOO! USA! USA! USA! USA!

Rush Rush and More Rush....

Couple of Rush notes that I ran across. Apparently Rush will be in the new Movie I Love You Man which excites and disappoints me all at the same time. The director is a huge Rush fan and he has Rush play Limelight during a Rush concert (go figure) that the gay couple attends in the movie. If it's anything like my experience it's full of middle aged drunk white males that are bald or balding. But DAMN it's a fun experience. More info.....here....I guess this means I actually have to go to a movie...naw. I'll wait for the DVD.

Geddy Lee talks to Blender, which ironically ranked Neil Peart as the second, that's right, SECOND worst lyricist of all time. He talks about that and the fact that he wants to sue Al Gore. I'm sure that's with tongue firmly entrenched in cheek. HERE is the link.

I guess Rush will be back in the studio in the Fall, or whenever the fuck they feel like it to record their next album. I feel giddy about the possibilities, while I was disappointed in Snakes and Arrows (except for Main Monkey Business which is teh Shit!) it was still a shitloads better than any rock album that shat itself on the records shelves that year.

By the way. Writing this was a challenge, I just got back from celebrating St. Patricks Day and I'm seeing two computer screens right now.
