And there is a big sign for the cheese shop, albeit in the entrance to a farm saying "This is not the entrance to the cheese shop" which always makes me smile

Struggling at the moment, and always seems to be breezy when I go out

Paid homage to Barton in the Beans as always, and another of my fave little hamlets called Upton. There is a cheese shop there, and a house with two retro petrol pumps in their front garden which always makes me smile

I haven't seen that, must take a detour through Upton some time.

Not a huge amount to see there, its literally a hamlet along a B road, but you cant miss the Petrol pumps, and teh Cheese shop has a little Cafe attached I believe as well 

Worth a detour though. Think I may have a picture outside the pumps, will dig it out

Documentary on Netflix about the Einsatzgruppe in WWII

Deeply moving, and absolutely holds no punches!

neither like or dislike Beatles or Mccartney.

But I have loved watching the various documentaries that seem to be around at the moment, fascinating to watch

On the plus side, he will make the other acts look an awful lot better!

Good, nice to hear that. I think this would be the Tour to finish on as a more casual fan, as its Senjutsu "lite" and then a really nice Best of set

I reckon there is going to be a mini tour where they play the whole thing, which I reckon will be one for thr purists

we have a few of those at our family farm, lovely looking creatures

Anyone who knows me or hangs around places like TNMS or here, will know of my absolute "lust" for this album, so i unashamedly fancy another opportunity to discuss it again!

I didnt get it initially when it first came out. I mean literally, didnt buy it! Not sure why, as I was still quite new to the band, and was a huge fan of everything I had so far. Maybe it just flew under the radar, maybe I was More Metal, but I think it was mainly  because I heard Tommy Vance on the FRS play The Big Money, and I hated it on first listen.

However, I do vividly remember when it clicked for me,  around  early 1987 I reckon, visited my dear departed brother at his Uni (Plymouth) and he had it on in his flat, and for whatever reason it just suddenly worked for me, and immediately went out t find the nearest HMV!

Might discuss the songs individually as people reply and contribute, However, while I think HYF is a fine album, HYF for me is the last truly GREAT Rush album. 8 songs, all of a similar length, 7 of which I think are absolutely magnificent, and only Mystic Rhythms not quite reaching the heights.

I think production wise it is my favourite Rush album. There is a LOT going on in every song, but somehow all the elements have room to breathe. If Signals has been recorded in this way/style, I think it would have been a much more loved album

Lyrically I cant really fault, this was still years before Neil started writing books, so his lyrics are more concise, punchy and relevant, less purple prose. Some really great word play, emotion, cadence and power to the words. Made Geddys job easy

Drumming on this album goes under the radar I reckon, mainly because it all just fits, works and is perfect.

Vocals spot on.

Bass playing is as good as you would expect from a mature and seasoned pro, still with plenty of life left in his fingers

The old school Rush/prog fans would probably want Alex to be higher in the mix, and crunchier, but he isnt, because he is one of 5 instruments in the mix who all deserve a place, and are perfectly put there

And, if you like keyboards, this is the Rush album for you

There are slower songs, faster songs, anthemic choruses, emotional choruses, some great solos, and fantastic examples of how Alex's playing is not just about power chords and solos

I love the cover, the graphics, the sleeve notes, everything

and the snippets of live stuff I have heard from the tour has convinced me that this was the band at the top of their game, not Moving Pictures.

There, I said it

Shoot me down!

Couldnt get into it at all, bored me stiff

Just finished Ozark. Wasnt the ending I was expecting or hoping for

.

Spoiler alert...half way through.

Sorry, i thought you would have known that the series does end.......

Pistol

Very enjoyable docu drama about the Sex Pistols and the Punk Revolution

And Chrissie Hynde is a minx!

Chatterbix podcast.

is PRS what he used on ASOH?
was watching a Youtuve Video last night of the LVS segment of the gig. The middle dreamy part of the track gets me every time, but by heck the guitars in the rest of it sound odd
