Another vote for that.

Rush chick checking in here. We exist. Geddy Lee has christened us "Geddycorns."

It's nice to see Hauer nice and angular again.  He'd gotten rather pasty and jowly there for a bit.

And Hook actually sings two of the songs on Movement.

Not to mention that Sumner's guitar isn't even always Sumner's guitar.  Sometimes it's Gillian's guitar. 

Lil' Hitler
It's short, but the Robot Chicken Lil' Hitler sequence deserves a mention, particularly when he decides to take over Poland's desk.

Mamma's Pizza is probably the best I've seen. Boston Pizza isn't too bad, but it's expensive. Pizzaville is pretty good, too.

I've read all four of Larson's books. Isaac's Storm is my favourite (being a disaster junkie) with Devil in the White City a close second. This one comes in third. I also found Dodd and his daughter less interesting than the other people in the book (the various Nazis, Boris the Russian diplomat, and assorted

Handheld electroic games
Back in the sixth grade, the thing everyone had to have were electronic handheld games—usually Mattel Electronic Football, but also the far superior Coleco Electronic Quarterback (which had a running AND a passing mode). Mine didn't survive past my college years, but it turns out my husband

I am the child of parents the age of many folks' grandparents, so the first music I can remember being around the house that I loved was "American Patrol" by the Glen Miller Orchestra. As far as more contemporary stuff—I absolutely loved "Kung Fu Fighting" when it came out in the 70s. First record I ever bought was

Night Court at its best was about as close as Americans ever got to Python-style humour. John Laroquette was awesome, and he was even more amazing in the first season or so of his own show, which was subsequently screwed up because apparently networks couldn't deal with dark.

Spring is pushing it for Clockwork Angels. Rush is headed out on tour again in March, and comments from the band seem to point at a release date later in 2011 or possibly even into 2012.

Are Sister Friends like Sister Wives?

I would give my left nut…
..if I had a left nut, for uncut WKRP on DVD or Blu-ray. You know, the ones with all the original songs that they couldn't license.

wallflower, I'm with you. There is definite continuity there, and had they not made that pact to rename the band if someone left, they'd probably have stayed Joy Division.

Ceremony.

Seven chinese brothers swallowing the ocean…

I don't give a crap about whether it's hip (I've been a Rush fan for 26 years, q.e.d.). I'm too damn old to be a hipster. But I heard a snippet of "Rebellion" playing from another room and spent a couple of years trying to find out what it was (remember, I'm not a hipster). When Neon Bible came out, I quite liked

I live in Canada, where we still have the real sugar (sucrose) Coke, but regularly travel to the States, where I grew up (and was in my teens when New Coke came out). The difference between Hoser Coke and US Coke is quite a bit more subtle than Classic vs. New Coke was. New Coke was not only sweeter, it lacked both

The only way that "Rococo" "puts its foot down" on part of AF's fanbase is if you take the lyrics completely literally, or if you ignore the rest of the album.
