I wrote an article a few years back entitled “How I See Rush’s Albums from 10000 Feet,” basically summarizing each studio album in the context of the entire discography. That’s... pretty high level. I wanted to kinda of give myself…

I’ve been a Rush fan for close to four decades now - since 1983 or so. In that time I’ve probably absorbed every lyric multiple times, and hundreds of musical nuances (with thousands to go, with my luck and attention…
It's been a while since I've posted anything here. I've been busy. But now that I'm here... I'm still not thrilled with the Gutenberg editor. It's okay, but I just don't care for it.I've been working on music, and that's…

Geert Bevin pointed out the LinnStrument this morning. Color me jealous - that thing looks awesome. It's basically a MIDI controller built on a pad, largely on a grid - much like a stringed instrument's notes are, except providing expression…
