Don't make me write my essay on why The Camera Eye is long and repetitive again! You know, the song is over praised. If it was half its current length it might be a Rush classic. As is, it's just very good. And too long. Not for me! I love it and have from the first day i heard it. It's perfect.

QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Jun 28 2008, 05:34 PM) Excellent Pixar film. Not terribly kid-oriented. It's more a (serious) social sattire and love story combined. Very poignant and touching. The kids in the crowd were very quiet and seemed genuinely bored, but I loved it..(and really don't give a crap what the present generation of little A.D.D.-laden brats find uninteresting anyhow)! One of the most earnest romance stories I've seen in some time. 4-stars of 5 Umm..I have an ADD-laden brat.

QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Jun 30 2008, 06:55 PM) QUOTE (priest_of_syrinx @ Jun 30 2008, 03:26 PM) I've been listening to Signify a lot lately and I think it may be my favorite PT album. I don't see a lot of Signify discussion around here, though. In fact, it seems like it's hardly mentioned. I think it's where they START to become interesting. That becomes something dependable on Stupid Dream. But it starts on Signify. Agreed. Very little before Signify is of interest to me, but then again, I am not into the trance sound.

Why's that? Going out of town for a few days. Worry not, the show will pick up again the following week. Jo What will everyone do? RushRadio?

I'll try to make it tonight. I'm in the middle of stripping wallpaper and refinishing the walls in my foyer and stairway. The slavemaster (my wife) has been after me to get it done. And I just started Monday.

QUOTE (The Owl @ Jun 24 2008, 05:09 PM) Probably my faviorate song off of LBS Feel So Low Great song. I heard a version of it live somewhere in Israel co-sung with Aviv Geffen from Blackfield. Very cool.

QUOTE (gleamingalloyaircar81 @ Apr 18 2008, 04:57 PM) BROWNNOSE!!! Really though, thanks to all the admins and mods! I thought the same thing. Scoring points with the management.

QUOTE (j13cents @ Jun 22 2008, 03:42 PM) Spirit Of Radio? Nope. Guess again.

Deadwing and In Absentia are stylistically the most similar to that one. In terms of lyrical subject matter, Signify and Stupid Dream are closer. I think I might try In Absentia next Good choice. Oh absolutely. It is my favorite of PT. Deadwing comes second.

QUOTE (Choose/the/light @ Jun 21 2008, 03:29 PM)QUOTE (Did Lee Squat? @ Jun 20 2008, 05:51 PM) Well something neat happened today: I showed my friend some PT videos on Youtube and she liked them a lot! I was a bit surprised because our musical tastes are quite different (I played Pinball Wizard for her one time and she couldn't tell me who it was ). I need to keep trying this, because PT is just that awesome. Unfortunately, the first thing she asked me to do was "bittorrent" the albums I have, whatever the hell that means. I was like, "Oh come on, just buy the albums". One of my few pet peeves. See the Pirating thread Uh oh...

QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jun 20 2008, 09:16 AM) Thanks everyone who listened and chatted last night - it was great fun! Sorry I didn't make it. My wife actually wanted to communicate with me last night. Imagine that! I'll make it next time if I can.

256. Smacking plywood against the back of a chair to get a cool percussive noise for YYZ.

QUOTE (Choose/the/light @ Jun 20 2008, 01:13 AM) TSMS is quickly becoming my favorite PT album and i've only had it for a day its all i've been listening to for the past day. Good for you! You must be into Space Rock, eh? I prefer the less abstract PT. Pretty much Signify and beyond.

QUOTE (Rush Man @ Jun 19 2008, 01:36 PM) 249 - Rivendale You mean Rivendell? 250. Defining progressivism in rock music.

247. Alex's La Villa rants

246. The first big drum roll in Temples of Syrinx

QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Jun 19 2008, 08:15 AM) Watch Gavin Harrison live. A drumming monster. His jazz training really is the icing on the PT cake. Previous drummer Chris Maitland was a good drummer but GH just takes it too another level. If you are interested, here is a great link to some GH background, vids, and tunes outside PT. http://www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Gavin_Harrison.html

QUOTE (Choose/the/light @ Jun 19 2008, 01:54 AM) ok, i tried and it didn't work, can someone give specific instructions? I did a quick Google search and found this. I am sure there are more websites with instructions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa5My-4yBoQ
