Well, first things first. Apologies for not putting out a digest in a while, I guess with vacation and all, everyone is away, traffic was slow. Some things for the administrivia: If you've been emailing to BEEZUS@utxvms.cc.utexas.edu about the new NMS-II mailing list, please don't. There is no such thing. Apologies for all the confusion, it's a long story. There's new information below about the upcoming tour. Check out Bob Roper's post concerning opening bands for this tour. Also, now that the full management is back from break, the rush-srv gopher will go up this week. (promise!) If you're attending shows, please send some email to rush-srv@syrinx.umd.edu For those of you who like WWW and Mosaic, check out Jimmy's posting below. That's it for now. :rush-mgr ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 23 Dec 93 15:54:41 EDT From: "Keith Berger" <kab6@cornell.edu> Subject: Double Agent Has anbody else noticed that part of the guitar solo in DA near the end of it sounds very sinilar to part of the overture of 2112? >..I'm like Sam the Butcher bringing Alice the meat...

These mics have a flat plate, with a slightly raised rectangular element in the center, creating a gap on about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch between the plate and the element. This allows only the direct sound waves, and not the reflections of those sound waves, to pass to the element, and get passed on to the recording. The engineer that recorded "Vital Signs" was probably using this mic placement to add some of the sound that Neil actually hears when he's playing his kit, and get a sound that Neil was more happy with..... ---------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Alex in new issue of Car Stereo Review Date: Thu, 23 Dec 93 18:49:58 CST From: kenblair@blkbox.COM! Yep! The subject says it all. I was going through my snail mail today and was very plesantly surprised to see a multi-page, multi-photograph article of the stereo system in Alex's 1983 Mercedes 380SEC. It's also shown on the cover. There is also a side article entitled "A Day in the Lifeson". I don't have time to reproduce either of the articles here, but they give some interesting insight into Alex, such as what discs he keeps in the changer in the car. It's good reading, even if you're not excited about car stereos. I'm sure someone will take the time to type it up so everyone can read it!

Headphones, of course. No, they use monitor-speakers for that very purpose. You hardly can hear a guitar or keyboard if you play it UN-amplified. Therefore a monitor ^^ speaker will give the player the feed-back ;) they need. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Mark Springer | "Those who know what's best for us, | | mspring@hzsig01.ns-nl.att.com | Must rise and save us from ourselves!" | | AT&T Network Systems Nederland | - Neil Peart | ---------------------------'84-Alfa-Romeo-33-1.5---------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 24 Dec 93 16:17:20 CST From: pegregg@sendit.NoDak.edu (Peter B Gregg) Subject: Everything As for the Rockline stuff, does anyone know whether it will be all of Rush or just one or two? I was (and still am) quite surprised that most magazine reviews of Rush albums usually tear them apart. I looked through a periodical index at a local university and photocopied all of the reviews. I think a review in a German magazine was good, but I can't read German. Rolling Stone has NEVER liked Rush, or any "conservative" band. I looked at their first review of a Rush album (Hemisipheres) and it basically asked, "Why do they have a job?" It called the Trees a crock of hipocritical crap. In a RS book about rock bands, they knock them the whole time and then say that they show signs of only getting better. I felt Cold Fire was very true. The female connotation/context may or may nor reflect opinions of Peart on women, but for the most part I felt the message is to both sexes. Has anyone noticed that Columbia House (the CD fellows) gave _Roll the Bones_ an explicit lyrics thing? What an outrage! "I will be the judge... and the jury."

Hi, all, Just personal clarification for the record... Sorry if I incorrectly stated that it was a metronome instead of a 'click' track...they're very similar. I just _meant_ to use the example of a metronome to parallel the use of the 'click' track in explaining it all. Sorry for the partial misleading... As for using this just for electronic drums, again check out the (studio) video for "Vital Signs"--regular drums; NOT electronic; and headphones. Also, I doubt that Neil would use headphones to listen to his own drums, when they're being amplified exceptionally loudly. 'nuff of that...--and... I wish to extend my best wishes for a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and an exceptionally (Rush-Filled :) Happy New year.

Hello once again. It's so good to be on winter break and have a little jaunt to Florida in my near future. So very good indeed. Had to write in today. Just had to. The CP-Tour dreams are growing to common a nighttime occurrence for me. Just had to get this off my chest. (And a stained flannel shirt. Had to get that off my chest, too, but you don't want to hear about it. Especially since I had a Primus shirt underneath and the whole incident turned out OK.) I've been listening to much radio lately, (is that the same as Much Music? I think not...), and I've heard an encouraging amount of Rush being played. Thanks go out to whoever suggested the new New York station that now resided at 104.3 on your FM dial. (Well, mine, anyway.) Used ta be a classical music station (One I rather enjoyed, actually). We get to hear Cold Fire and Stick It Out the mandatory 3 zillion times a day. And, get this: I heard Kid Gloves churning outta that baby this morning. I KID YOU NOT. My brain skidded almost as audibly as the time MTV used The Body Electric as thematic music for a small bit on Terminator 2. Attendees of the upcoming Parts tour, rejoice! I shall be swooping in for Pensacola 1-22-94 with unconcealable excitement. If you have some tickets you don't need for this one, give me a yell! I got mine the hard way, and just thinking about their location in the arena opened a few blood vessels in my left nostril.

Thanks to the incompetence of the Dillards workers, we're stuck in some bizarre place on the risers on Geddy's side. My friend who got the tix called me to "bring me the sad news" -- but I figure, hey, as long as we're there, that's all that counts. That's what binoculars are for!! :-) anyway, thanx again, everyone.

I would like people to e-mail the 10 most important rush dates (b-days, album releases, etc) to me. I'm putting a thing together for a friend and would love the input of a couple hundred RUSH fans.

Hello fellow Rushfans(tm), I have been perusing over all the different boots avaible to us. And I have narrowed my selection to three. But this is where I need some help. For those that have or heard these three, could you drop me a line to which one to get? The choocies are, Cold Flames, Over the Europe, and Rush and Rolutte 92'. Should I go for the sound quality or the the complete concert? Just drop me a line which you like. [ Also you can email meg@syrinx.umd.edu, she has a listing of boots that are currently available along with information on what's on them and various notes about them. :rush-mgr ] I also wondered about a theme in recent Rush album covers. I am not sure if the FAQ doc covers this but here it goes. Anyone know or care what is meant by, "Bought to you by the letter..."? Just something to ponder while you all wait for your tickets. Cause this theme can be seen as early as '85 in PW. Hope you all had something Rush under or on the tree this year! One other matter for the manager to look over. I had sent in a post a about 5 or 6 days before Christmas. I had not seen hide nor hair out of it.

After my temporary stint as the editor-in-chief of the ill-fated "All-New NMS 2," I decided that it was time to reopen the Pandora's Box that is the Rush Cassette Bureau. It's been out of service for quite a while, but that's to its (and your) advantage. The 1994 Catalog is aplumb with "rare" and "imported" Rush goodness. Either e-mail me, Unca Beezus, or my partner-in-crime, shermy@delphi.com, for all of the horrid details. There may a short time being that I will NOT be able to be reached at my 'Net address. As the "HH Guide 2 the Galaxy" would tell you: Don't Panic. Just correspond via Mr. Shermy's 'Net address there at Delphi. All of you obviously insane subscribers to America Online can send me e-mail on that service by addressing it to "Gush." Pretty, huh? There it is, folks, the official announcement. A few of the regulations have been changed, but it's still the same ol' RCB--the definitive, unassuming sourcefor "rare" and "imported" Rush recordings both 'commercial' and otherwise.

It could be just an observation of a natural phenomenon. In many parts of the world, often in warmer waters, sea water glows when a ship passes through it.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Also, <self-lauditory tone here> I am hosting a Conference on Compuserve.

When: Starts on January 8th, 1994 (THis Saturday folks!) Those on CI$, please drop by if time & schedule permit, it should be a lotta fun...

Two items: I expect tickets for the Feb. 24th Rush show at Atlanta's Omni to go on sale either this coming weekend or the weekend afterward. I've been compiling a list of people who are interested in getting together on ticket-day in order to get better seats (the more people in one place to draw lottery numbers for the ticket line, the better). I got 8th row seats last time, and hope to do at least as well this time around. If you are interested, please drop me email. I'll be driving over to Pensacola for the Jan. 22nd tour kick-off show, and I have room for two more in the white Taurus egg-mobile. (Dave/tvos will be joining the road-trip in Birmingham. :)) If anyone from Atlanta is going to Pensacola and is interested in carpooling, please drop me email. We've also booked a hotel room down there with a flat rate good for up to five people, so if anyone needs inexpensive crash space within a few miles of the venue, let me know.
