Rush is a Band Blog has a transcription of the recent Neil Peart Rhythm Magazine interview. Not much new here, other than a little insight on the recording process.
January 2007 Archives
The whole (13 minute!) recent Alex radio interview can be heard online here. Click on Rock Interviews on the right-hand side. Lots of good tidbits here:
- New album took a month to record (which is pretty unusual for Rush)
- Videotaped parts of the project, hope to incorporate everything into a full package
- Album release in late April-early May, tour beginning in June
- No interest in being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Been meaning to post on this for a several days now.
According to a recent interview with the producer, Nick Raskulinecz, the new album's supposed to be quite good. The interesting quote: “the sound and vibe of an old Rush record”.
There's a rumor of a title, which I'm highly skeptical about.The new album is rumored to be called either Snakes and Arrows or Snakes and Ladders. I don't recall when a new Rush album title was ever correct. Long-time fans will recall Critical Mass as the rumored title for Counterparts, if I remember things right.
New album is said to be released in April/May at this point, with a probable tour. Also rumored is studio footage was shot for a DVD, which doesn't sounds like them at all. Oh well, time will tell.
I was surprised to get an e-mail about this: There's an interview with Alex at Wine Spectator. I always thought Geddy was the wine guy in the bad.

There's a new Neil's Pick for Quality Reading on his site as of the other day. Seven books reviewed. I've always wanted to pick up a copy of John McPhee's Uncommon Carriers.
