    Perhaps Earthquake Glue could bump the Belle and Sebastian or Blur…but what do I now, I’ve only heard two of the albums on your whole list.

    Give us factoids on Alex Lifeson’s run in with the Naples, FL police-

    So I researched myself through the “music news” link further down the main page (the world is synopsized for you right here on MUS, why go anywhere else?). Click and scroll to learn Alex’s true name! Party-ing hard with his kid our age and daughter-in-law! He can spit blood on command! Have Neil jot some lyrics and tell Geddy to warm up his pipes, here comes a hit for the nerds over 13, the end of a long hybernation, progrock bares it’s ancient teeth with “Curse your minions Jeb Bush! I spit blood on command!!!”

    I’m sure that the missing Zerostars EP “The Impossible Sessions” was just a gross oversight on the part of the MUS. I forgive the Man, as he is obviously, “Under Stress”. What I cannot forgive is Pat’s blatant misuse of the word “now”, IE, “…but what do I now.” It’s called spell check and I would advise looking into it Jack-Ack.

    Corbett, I want to make love to you. I sense you are in need of love. Don’t EVER let anyone catch you in a typo situation, there is nothing worse in this world. Let my sepuku commence… wait, how do you spell sepukku, seppuku,ssepuku-
