JARG

This guy just about manages it.

That solo is usually in my top 5.

It's remotely possible they might release new material. No chance in hell they'll tour again. A one-off performance here and there is about the best anyone can hope for, and even those seem doubtful.

Horizon to Horizon - Memory written on the wind Fading away, like an hourglass, grain by grain Swept away like voices in a hurricane

That's the Grand Canyon of misses. Burying one of Alex's best solos? Criminal.

I think the “fireball” cover works well. It captures the dark spirit of the songs within.

I have. I own a copy.

Three issues (so far). The first likely influence the second two. Your conflation of nonsensical thinking with "deep" thinking. Earthshine's seemingly bad manners. Your apparent low self-esteem.

Ah, well then perhaps the issue lies with you. Deeply.

Some truly sublime sections of guitar playing there.

Earthshine needs better manners.

Masterful. I wish I had that vocabulary and the skill to pull it off.

It's an unusually dry tone for Alex, that's for sure. Ditto for the EJ solo on Theme from an Imaginary Western.

Continuing to listen. Sins of Omission: Another Jeremy song? Kurt has a nice voice. What's his connection to the project? Really good tone choices on the guitar, Paul. Matchstick: Wow, wall of guitar during the intro! Another Jeremy song? Sunny Wolf: Another Jeremy song? Mike's voice really works on this one, particularly with the high harmony. Chorused bass sounds good during the break. Here Comes Everything: Jeremy song again? Really cool guitar parts during the staccato verses. Nice solo work! Far Cry From: my favorite so far. Mike's voice really suits the song. Not sure whose song this is. Cold to Come: it's weird because his voice sounds nothing like it, but Mike's vox makes me think of Eddie Vedder. Great solo work, Paul. Wow, 10 albums (and counting, I presume). Congrats!

I read Anna Karenina last year. That told me that one book by Tolstoy was enough for me, thank you very much.

Yup. Jefferson was once described as a "howling atheist" who was going to take your bibles away.

OK, resuming listening. Decibel: sounds like a Jeremy song. Vocally Mike is in his wheelhouse, he sang many a song back in our band days in that breathy style. It works well on this song. The mix is good considering how dense it is. The vocals ride above, which I like. Heat of the Day: a Paul song? The basswork is very cool (is a pick being used on it?), but would prefer the bass tone from Darkest at Daybreak be on all the tracks I've heard so far. Mike's vox are a great fit. Nice guitarwork throughout. First Memories: a Mike song? Bass needs to be higher in the mix. "I sail my ship inside a bottle of beer" is a lovely line. Law of Holes: love the way the intro is handled. Another Jeremy song? Will resume listening later. So far great job, guys!

To answer your question (somebody had to!), she's the Envy of None (an online musical collaboration of which Lifeson is a contributor) vocalist.

Was that a work in progress from the MOTH stuff?

I've only listened to the first two songs since the OP was posted. So far, so good!

If I was in a record store and this was playing over the speakers, I wouldn't even notice it, other than to possibly think "stick to the smooth jazz stuff, Sade". I certainly wouldn't go ask who was playing.

The Catholics — a new pope was elected.

Mrs. JARG and I watched it last night. A damn fine movie, dramatizing the conservative vs. liberal ideologies within the Catholic church.

You're definitely not the only one to notice it. I've heard it for years...no clue as to what's being said. It's a great song.
