Transcript: "Life In The Fast Lane With Rush" - Record Week , August 22, 1977
Today's transcript addition is "Life In The Fast Lane With Rush" from Canada's Record Week magazine, August 22, 1977. This article, "a brief profile on the band's rise to fame" was published the week A Farewell to Kings was released. It does an admirable job of lambasting Canada's press and radio at the time for continuing to ignore Rush, even after their success following 2112 and All The World's A Stage. - Thanks to Brad Smith for sending the article!

Transcript: "Rush - Brains & Brawn", Hit Parader, November 2007
It's been awhile since I've added any old articles to the Transcript Archive, and I've literally got a stock of magazine clippings waiting for my attention. I'll try to add a new transcript weekly over the coming months.
Today's addition is "Rush - Brains & Brawn" from the November 2007 issue of Hit Parader magazine, an interview with Geddy Lee following the release of Snakes & Arrows. Geddy talks about the importance of recording their live shows to learn how their songs sound to the live listener, as well as his most valuable signed baseballs, and his photography hobby. - Thanks to Scott Hansen for sending me the article!

Bubba's Book Club now part of the Transcript Archive
Hello to my fellow bibliophiles! Neil Peart originally shared 17 "Bubba's Book Club" posts to his blog, but sadly after his passing and subsequent reformatting of at NeilPeart.net, there are currently only 7 available. No fear, I have taken the time to go back through the internet archive and have added all 17 to my Transcript Archive. Click here, and then click on the "Neil Peart Collection" button then scroll down to the Bubba's Book Club section. Enjoy!

Wallpaper update for standard 16:9 aspect ratio monitors
It's a small thing, but between the time when I first launched this website in 1998 and now, the typical aspect ratio of computer monitors has changed. (Duh! right?) I've altered my Wallpaper images in the past, so this isn't the first time I've updated this site, but I recently re-cropped and/or widened my offering of wallpaper images for a standard 16:9 aspect ratio. So images will be a perfect fit on your computer. Enjoy!

Transcript: "Mastery and Mystery", Neil Peart's Foreword to "Rhythmic Composition: Featuring the Music of Porcupine Tree" by Gavin Harrison
I have added a new item to the Transcript Archive written by Neil Peart. Back in 2014 Neil wrote "Mastery and Mystery", the foreword to Rhythmic Composition: Featuring the Music of Porcupine Tree by Gavin Harrison. This is a real treat, reading Neil rave about Gavin Harrison and Porcupine Tree. My two favorite drummers together. - Thanks to Mark Rosenthal for providing the transcript!
