Rush.... Well I am Canadian and all so of course I've seen them live no less than 5 times..... I've seen Trans Am and Badmarsh/Shri big up Rush. Geddy Lee big up'ed us (Ninja Tune) in the last issue of Pop Smear...that was pretty cool. ZZ Top came by our office once...that was weird. I went and saw Slayer awhile ago and ran into a lot of people I knew trying to hide the fact they were there...that was funny. Oh ya... buy the 2 6LP Fela Kuti boxsets...they're wicked and full of impossible to find records. buy the 3 Mutantes CDs that were just reissued. Brazilian psych-pop and some bad ass stage outfits. We've been listening to them religiously everyday at the office.

I've seen Larry Heard give props to Rush in interviews before >now though.. so there is some kind of relation to idm
