Yet another Alex Lifeson guest appearance June 20, 2006
Alex Lifeson is a busy man these days. He made an appearance on the recently released John Kastner (formerly of The Doughboys) solo album Have You Seen Lucky and will also appear on former I Mother Earth frontman Edwin’s third solo album. But that’s not all. According to Canadian industrial rock band Jakalope’s MySpace page, he also guests on their 2nd album Born 4 slated to be released later this summer. Jakalope was created in 2003 by Canadian industrial musician and producer Dave Ogilvie. Its members are constantly rotating but some of the core members include Katie B, Phil Caivano (Monster Magnet), Anthony Valcic (Fu) and Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). Alex is said to play on the track Star 24 (No Apologies).

Rush Replay Roundup June 18, 2006
It”s been nearly a week since fans began obtaining copies of Rush”s new box set Rush Replay X 3. Discussions at the various Rush forums/messageboards (The Rush Forum, Rush Tour Forum, etc.) are abuzz with either praise or criticism - mostly praise though. There are several reviews to peruse at Amazon and other sites as well. The various fan critical reviews are too numerous for me to reproduce here, but the general consensus is very positive. The big story is the sound quality - which is excellent; there”s little disagreement there. The video quality is about what was expected, although there are several fans complaining about it anyways. And the tracklist, what was and wasn”t included, is another topic of much discussion. Although all reports prior to the release promised that the DVDs would mirror exactly the VHS releases, and that”s exactly what was delivered. A lot of us had hoped for some easter eggs however. But there aren”t any - I”ve verified it personally.

NeilPeart.net: Roadshow - selected excerpts
Neil Peart recently posted several short excerpts from his upcoming book, Roadshow: Landscape With Drums, A Concert Tour by Motorcycle, on his website. The book is due out this September and chronicles Neil’s travels on the R30 tour. Here are a few of the excerpts but I highly suggest you read them all. I can’t wait for this book.
NeilPeart.net: Roadshow - selected excerpts
At the end of a long day on the road, I felt the mixed buzz of all-day vibration, overstimulation, and weariness - the underlying awareness of having gone the distance, enjoyed it, and survived it. I had once come up with a refrain that often played in my head: “When I’m riding my motorcycle, I’m glad to be alive. When I stop riding my motorcycle, I’m glad to be alive.”…
