Neil Peart Was The World’s Most Overrated Drummer

A few years back I reviewed a Kindle Single, a keen drummer’s list of his Top 30 Drummers. Keen drummers don’t always make the best writers and this book – well it’s a sliver of a book (as is the point of Kindle Singles – seems wrong in this instance to bestow a title like essay) – […]

Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 20 – Rush, “Roll The Bones”

Rush, Roll The Bones, 1991 You have to believe me that I was going to write about this album anyway. Then Neil Peart died (R.I.P.) and so I held off a few weeks because I didn’t want to look like I was timing a post for clicks. Also I fucking hate Rush – always have, […]

The 1001 Albums Challenge # 61: Rush – “2112”

Whenever I start to think of the wrong-turns in my life, the bad decisions, the time wasted, I snap out of it with one satisfying thought: At least I’m not a Rush fan. You see, it can always be worse… And it was, maybe, a close call, by all rights I should be a Rush […]

Stubs: #101 – Roger Hodgson, Wellington, 2010

He is The Voice of Supertramp – Roger Hodgson – and I spoke to The Voice of Supertramp and he was earnest, but that didn’t quite prepare me for the show. There were potted plants, fake ones, on either side and his brand new album – shit songs! – played before and after, and during […]
