Ooh, Nickelback, yay!!

 

Seriously though, thanks for helping me save money - I won't be needing today's dose of heart medecine.

Last night BBC Radio 4 had a documentary about the events leading up to the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. At one point they played The Pass under the commentary. So it's now stuck in my head

Bill Bruford by a mile (although respect to Alan White for recreating the parts Bill had written before leaving for KC)- and he knows when not to play too.

 

I also really love Christian Vander of Magma, and Virgil Moorefield - epic players both.

What did he have to say about Rush? Not that keen on them, to be honest!

QUOTE (rushgoober @ Oct 5 2007, 03:32 PM) Dodgeball I really expected Dodgeball to be a great movie. I saw it for the first time just this year and I knew all the hype. While it wasn't awful, it's nothing I want to buy and watch more than once.. Hmm, tricky - on the one hand you have the Best Ever Sports Legend Cameo with Lance Armstrong's appearance (I thought it was funny anyway), but on the other hand the Punchline to the Whole Movie is "I'm bisexual!!" - lame-o-rama.

I suspect this may be a trick question, so I will throw myself open to ridicule and say: Geddy Lee.

Wind in my pants.

QUOTE (Marathonist @ May 24 2008, 12:44 AM) What was the name of the "venue" where Rush had their first paying gig? I don't know but I do know they went to Panzers right afterwords to spend their $10 fee.   Here's a quickie:   What's the personal connection between Rush and Frankie Goes To Hollywood? No guesses 12 hours later: the answer is Andy Richards, keyboard player/synth programmer.   Over to you Finding IT

I have memory and awareness, but I have no pants.

Galaxy Quest - especially the way Tony Shalhoub says "Wow, that was a hell of a thing!" and also "By Grabthar's hammer.... what a savings!"

 

I saw Anchorman on a plane and maybe it was the lack of oxygen but I laughed myself stupid(er).

 

Evil Dead 2 - not technically a comedy, but...

When you think Geddy's name is actually Geddy. And when you think his real last name is Lee.

242: the first three chords of A Farewell To Kings

One likes to believe in The Freedom Of Pants.

Signals - for so long it seemed so wierd: "WHY have they got a dog sniffing a fire-hydrant??!!"* but I have come to love the picture for itself and also love the blueprint for Lerxtwood Mall on the back. If only Syme had the idea of using bits of sticky tape like he did on A Show Of Hands, it would be perfect.

 

* now I have a dog, years later, I realise the dog on the cover is just checking its Wee-Mail.

At the moment I'm loving the version of Different Stages.
