Rush: Snakes and Arrows

Snakes and Arrows (the latest Rush release) is an interesting piece. Musically it's fabulous. The three instrumentals on the album were very good. "Malnar" (Malignant Narcisism) was the most interesting followed by Hope and then The Main Monkey Buisness. My other favorites from the album include: Far Cry, Spindrift, Bravest Face, and Good News. I'm definitely catching the tour when it comes my way.

Rush Radio

There's a very cool feature on the Rush.net website. It's burried a way a little. But if you can listen to Rush for hours with out tiring of it you might enjoy it -- Rush flash player loaded with their music. You can literally listen all day and not get the same song played twice. I know this because I've done this several times. I should say it a good mix of music too. Just the right blend of the old and new.

I'm just happy Lerxt, Dirk, and Pratt haven't ended their song making careers yet. Because if they did that would be sad. Talent like this with the right blend of restraint and taste doesn't come around often.
