I've never met one, but I've heard they exist. I've met one! It was back in college, when I took a (mandatory) Speech Communications class. A classmate, one of my partners for the group speech in fact, was a quite good-looking young woman who declared herself a Rush fan. She did her individual speech on the song "The Trees." How about Thrash Metal Chicks? I met one near the end of my junior year in high school, just as I was starting to tire of hardcore punk. She was from another school and I only met her once; but I was so infatuated that I scoured the local Sound Odyssey for the bands whose patches she had sewn on her denim jacket, like Metallica and Celtic Frost.

I count myself among the "extremely diverse musical tastes" category, which is part of the reason why I find the Rush/Robyn crossover crowd baffling. Clearly, however, I struck a certain defensive nerve in some of you, which I didn't intend (which is to say, I don't "look down on" Rush or their fans; my puzzlement was NOT meant to express the sentiment: "how could people with good taste enough to appreciate RH get hooked by trash like Rush?"). I guess more than anything, I was looking for the response I got (offlist) from Wells -- what are the common elements, if any, that attract people to both Robyn and Rush? > Why do some people like > vanilla and > chocolate but hate the swirl? why don't you stand next to a > soft serve and > ask someone. the answers, whatever they are will apply > equally to music > and soft serve. Although this is probably intended sarcastically, I'll take it as earnest. Indeed, it seems to boil down to the (cliched but true) comment used as the final word in my college philosophy course in aesthetics: "There's no accounting for taste." (which, at the time, I found to be incredibly self-defeating for a professor who has written widely on the subject and who has just taught an intensive seminar in the subject. Now it just seems a truism that could have substituted nicely for the course's entire reading list).

Having listened to the whole thing through about 10 times now, I can say with complete and utter sincerity that you will not be disappointed. I haven't had a woody like this for an album in like, 15 years. It's the best g*ddamn Rush I've heard since I don't know when; a Tesla coil of an album, blue lightning and sparks everywhere.

And, although it's a nice theory, Robyn's been singing about drowned bodies since Underwater Moonlight, through Luminous Rose to Ghost Ship, to The Wreck of the Arthur Lee. I wonder if Robyn has a fear of drowning? Or is it a factor of him living in the Isle of Wight, with its rich maritime history? My partner Alice has pointed out to me before now that some more-sensitive songwriters do have a psychological attraction to watery imagewry in songs and the idea of being engulfed.

Wasn't it originally a philosophy show? "I'm sorry, we only want questions about farming." The panel included "our resident psychiatrist, a psychiatrist who isn't resident but is staying with the other one because he can't bear to go home, and a psychiatrist who has lived with the first one but who when the second one arrived felt alienated and since has undergone a total personality change." Brilliant sketch. Much more memorable than the Department S song, evidently, as I used to play the song on my college radio show all the time but I haven't got the foggiest idea how it went any more. "Well I am afraid that is all we have time for. " - -rUss ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V11 #148 ********************************
