Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Neil Peart's lyrics got me through a lot of teenage angst.
(Sorry I seem to have sent YouTube link on its own)

I didn’t know John Hannah played drums for Rush.

I haven't listened to Rush for 40 years, but I was still shocked to see Neil Peart had died. They were probably the most important band (thing?) in my life from about 1977 to 1980.

From the Guardians obit: "... There has, in fact, probably never been a band that so embodied the mindset of a particular kind of teenage boy... as Rush did with their run of albums of the late 1970s...".

Nice post. And Glenn - try ‘Fly by night’ - polished soft rock that even the haters can enjoy.

"Searching for the Spark 1969 -1991 is a limited edition 22 CD deluxe box set containing all the work guitar great and electronic music innovator Steve Hillage recorded from his studio debut (1969's Arzachel) to the first System 7 album in 1991."

And yet people worry about Iran's nuclear programme.

Mr H is playing at the Cambridge Junction on 2 October. You have been warned.

Some Beethoven-related musical observations: parts of the first movement of the twelfth string quartet are decidedly reminiscent of Psycho; and the opening of the ninth symphony is very similar to Pretty Vacant.

I heard about this on the BBC 'Today' programme a day or two ago.

'Rachmaninoff most innovative composer..."
