Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- RUSH! ----- Forgive me as I fall back into full Rush Geek mode. The new album, "Test For Echo", is out, and tickets for their October 28th show go on sale on Sunday. The album is a big letdown. The first 2/3rds is midtempo slop, along the lines of "The Speed Of Love" from "Counterparts", the low point on that otherwise fine record. The terrible thing about the new record is the song "Virtuality". Dig: Net boy, net girl Send your signal 'round the world Let your fingers walk and talk And set you free Net boy, net girl Send your impulse 'round the world Put your message in a modem And throw it in the Cyber Sea Oof! You can be sure that the Rush geeks that infest the Net will be quoting it in their sigs for years to come. GUESS THE REFERENCE ------------------- Last week's reference was from a sound bite stuck in the middle of "Got a Mile, Got a Mile, Got An Inch" by Don Caballero. Lyric references to songs on all-instrumental albums must be tough, because only three people got it right. One was Liz, who won a few weeks ago, and I'd feel bad flipping a coin and making one of the other two people lose, so both Adam Altman and Chad Wrigley win the not-so-random entry this week. Send me your addresses. This week's is easier, and next week's should be a piece of cake. Send your entries to shows@tezcat.com. Be sure to include your name in the entry so I can tell you if you win, as well as band name and song title. CONTACT INFORMATION ------------------- Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found out about us, and whether you'd like date or venue order.
