Wow. It's only been 2 weeks since MitA last shared with us his latest batch of Rush oddities, and he's already got some more for us! He must be feeling inspired. This next batch is a particularly cool one in my opinion. We have the isolated vocal track from The Trees, an isolated guitar track from...

It's been a long time but MusicInTheAbstract - owner and operator of the MitA's Rush Oddities site - has several new Rush nuggets to share with us all. In the audio department we have a live Limelight trainwreck, Alex's isolated backing vocals from Bravado, another Geritol moment for Gedd...

As I said on the blog, this is taken from my brother’s Rush – All The World’s A Stage – 8 TRACK!!! I recorded it to cassette and just found it while transfering all my old cassettes to the laptop. Neil Peart is the greatest drummer ever to smack a cymbal or pick up a set of sticks.

On the April 16 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh called Media Matters for America "Stalinist" and part of the "Clinton machine agenda." He further falsely asserted that Media Matters receives funding from philanthropist George Soros and that he is "not de...

When we posted Bad Plus's tenacious original cut "Physical Cities" from Prog, we promised a listen of their killer cover of Rush's "Tom Sawyer." And truly, they pulverize the prog epic, starting true to the tune's head before delving into a madcap chopped-out piano trio jam. And it wouldn'...

By AC An angry mob awaits the return of NyLon, who in turn receives more creative work from the audience, the contributors, the very people he believes are not being serviced. Brilliant music from MC Lars and the Undercover hippy as well as poignant feedback and thoughts about Kathy Sierra
