purchase.tempecenterforthearts

is a great I've seen many times before

The band members are true fans of Rush, you have to be to practice as hard as they do

Recently they also gave a shoutout for Craig Maloney before he passed, so thanks to them for helping with

Listening to Clockwork Angels on a headset. There's so much going on. I had forgotten the rocktitude of this album

if I'm correct the following studio albums are left

* Moving Pictures
* Presto
* Vapor Trails
* Clockwork Angels

We've been doing it somewhat wrong, was choosing albums randomly

Per XKCD documentation, the random number is 4, so next week we'll have

There are 3 clockwork books:

* libro.fm/audiobooks/9781469228

This week's going back and filling in an older album we skipped along the way, is A Farewell To Kings. Other than Xanadu, I'm actually not particularly familiar with this one, so looking forward to spending some time with it.

@lufthans @jorge So ... what are we doing next week?

continues during the eclipse

Craig left us with visions of 2112 in our heads, finishing with Lessons, Tears and Something for Nothing

We can't have freedom for free, but we can have some nostalgia

To demark when we have to venture forth on our own this week we will listen to Rush's cover album, Feedback

@jorge @rbowen Craig left us with 2112 in the queue as the Rush album of the week, let's keep it until Monday to express the post-apocalyptic feelings we're going through, then we can switch to some nostalgia

For those coming in fresh, this week we lost our friend @ CraigMaloney @ octodon.social to cancer, he had started a few of us listening to a different random Rush album every week

Hope he's drumming with the Professor
