Hi,
Firstly - congrats go to the Jam in general! - we're actually
discussing music!! (Fuck yeah!)
On to said music - pick-me-up-songs, only one word needed here
"Surrounded" - you just can't listen to it without feeling, well, that
certain glowy DT thing (please don't vomit - I'm trying to be
serious).
New songs - "Where are you now" is the best (IMHO) closely followed
by "Burning My Soul", as heavy as you like...
Lastly - 23 September sounds good but presumably that's the US
release date - does anyone know about the European release date (OK,
I'll be honest - I don't give a toss about the European release date
as such - it's the UK one I want to know about).
Help!
Dave (a UK Jammer)

On the Rush/eras topic:
Here's how I have classified the boys' different stylistic periods <keep in mind that I consider all Rush albums have a style and sound uniquely to that particular album>:
RUSH: Led Zep clone blues-rock
FLY BY NIGHT: The Tolkein-influenced fantasy stage. Neil's CARESS OF STEEL: arrival as well as Alex's classical guitar lessons contribute to this period. Strong blues-rock influences remain, however.
2112: The sci-fi/fantasy/storytelling phase. Lyrically, A FAREWELL TO KINGS: calls to mind previous phase, but musically takes HEMISPHERES: on its own character, beginning to define the Rush sound. The use of synthesizers enhances the aspect of the future and technology. Neil begins to more fully explore his own ideas of the human mind as pertaining to the literature that influences him.
PERMANENT WAVES: The coming-of-age. Songs about "the freedom of MOVING PICTURES: music," and "art as expression," that are at the accessible without being ordinary. A balance is struck between the self-indulgent progressive rock elementsand a pop sensibility.
SIGNALS: The experimental phase. The rise of synth-pop GRACE UNDER PRESSURE: causes Rush to get on board and see what more they can do with the ever-evolving technology, much to the chagrin of Alex Lifeson.
POWER WINDOWS: A new definitive Rush sound. Another balance is HOLD YOUR FIRE: struck between the original trio sound, and the PRESTO: use of keys to attain the studio polish they like ROLL THE BONES: so much. Each of these albums, however, follows a natural progression <regression?> to the original "power trio" sound.
COUNTERPARTS: Yet another redefined sound, as Alex goes through TEST FOR ECHO: his guitar mid-life crisis, if you will, and rediscovers the stack. Couterparts has some real dregs on it, but by the same token, it has some of their best work to date. The same goes for Test for Echo, althouh the riffing is better here.
Anyway, that's my take. If you want a tase of eveything, i highly recommend the new retrospectives <instead of Chronicles only because of the remasters> to get a taste of each period and decide for yourself. It would be difficult to go wrong, however. :)

Yeah, it is cool. Who gives a shit, you ask? Apparently, you, because you volunteer your opinion on it <even though you condemn others for doing so immediately afterward>.
The absolute greatest thing about the Ytsejam is that there are some intelligent people on here whose views many of us welcome on a variety of subjects. If we talk about them on the Ytsejam, GREAT <as long a Skadz doesn't mind, which we must assume he doesn't if he hasn't snipped>!
> God should send people to hell for not talking about music on here!!!
I sincerely hope that this was a joke, or meant sarcastically or something. If so, it's funny. :D If not, I don't know what to say. Continue to condemn us for trying to impose religious beliefs on you while you wallow in your own hypocrisy.

Yes, because God forbid we "losers" inconvenience you in anyway by making you have to hit the big, bad delete key a few times.
This universe is BIG. In it, the earth is pretty insignificant. While on an infinitely smaller scale, this world is BIG. In it, this list is pretty insignificant. This mailing list is not big, but it is a sample of this world in which we live <or at least, the small faction of our world that likes DT>. One person, be it you, me, Bafu, Mike Bahr, D-Man, a cowardly imposter or whomever, is still pretty insignificant. How arrogant of you/me/us to think otherwise...
> It sucks....So, I'm gonna continue to delete > them until it gets better......
I can't help but laugh when I see posts like this. Are you trying to hurt someone's feelings by not reading? Whom do you think is going to take this personally? You feel free to continue to delete. i will feel free to continue to read. We'll see who gets more out of this list.
another thing: this is FREE. complaining about the quality of content on the Ytsejam is like compaining about the quality of content of a book you checked out of the library. one can unsub from and resub to this list anytime and it doesn't cost a dime.
If Skadz deems the content of the list out-of-hand, he will say something.
you's best be caeful about whom you call "losers," because some of the guys here will, "flatten you like a fucking pancake, boy"

Hi all
in the digest 2713 Mape said that he uses Ulver's album Kveldssanger to help get him out of his bad mood swings, and asked if I use it too. Well, sometimes, it depends on what sort of down I'm in. It certainly helps if I'm down because I can't see my girlfriend for a few days, or if I'm having problems with the other guys I live with, but if I'm pissed with how things are going at work or because the weather is so shitty, then all that really helps is a few beers, a few whiskies and then Machine Head/Pantera/Slayer until your ear drums start to bleed (you can tell when I've been doing this because I have a piece of blue string hanging out of my ear).
Other good stuff for when I'm feeling moody: Theatre Of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear Tiamat - Wildhoney The 3rd And The Mortal - Painting On Glass Waltari - Yeah, Yeah, Die, Die (well, the introduction) Type O Negative - October Rust Moist - Silver Moist - Creature
Nuff said.
stay safe and happy listening Neil Gallop (nga@software-ag.de) Currently playing: Prong - Cleansing

May I have my opinion on this? I would consider Rush in 4 periods. I have noticed that Rush changed their style everytime they released the live album.
1). HEAVY METAL + PROGRESSIVE ROCK ERA (Rush - 2112) // All the world's a stage (live)
2). PROGRESSIVE ROCK ERA (A farewell to kings - Moving Pictures) // Exit Stage Left (live)
3). ELECTRONIC PROG ROCK ERA (Signals - Hold Your Fire) // A Show of hands (live)
4). NEW RUSH (Presto - TFE) // live album
This is just my humble opinion, not to offend anyone...:)

Well, what a trying weekend. Death in the family. Don't send any condolences, because it was on my wife's side and I didn't even know the lady... the trying part is that I more or less have been at 100mph the entire time because Melissa left to go to Illinois to the funeral! :) And I'm all alone!! (ok, you can sympathy _that_ part I guess).
To those of you with orders in to Melissa.. don't worry, she left me a to-do list. :) Piece o' cake. After all, who got the videos in the first place.
Anyway this is the first time I've logged on for any length of time in a while, and I'm gonna _try_ to clean out most of my backlogged mail, so if I haven't gotten back to you lately, please don't hate me.
Denis Schoen: I'm tryin to mail you too... it's bouncing back to me. Do I have the right e-mail address? denis.schoen@tip.nl? Olaf Bode: My mail to you has been bouncing even though I know I got the address right, so it's probably my server messing it up. I wanted to confirm that I got the other guy's part of the trade.
Sorry bout that there. Now for some _content!!_
Rush albums... well, I think Rush's best songs ever, in order, are Time Stand Still, Xanadu, and Natural Science... BUT! I didn't think that right away as a "new" fan of Rush. I think the best thing to move on to after AFTK would be Moving Pictures, Hemispheres, and maybe 2112. Then just for flavor, check out Counterparts or Presto. Fill in the collection from there. Personally, I bought both live albums very early in my Rush collecting years (this was when Signals was new so ATWAS and ESL were what was out) and that really got me into things, as it were. After a long, long time as a Rush fan, you'll probably like songs like the ones I mentioned above more and more. I also like Resist a lot... that was played at my wedding reception as the newlyweds/parents dance. (the Bride/groom dance was King's X's "I'll Never Get Tired Of You").
Falling Into Infinity actually sounds pretty cool. I kinda like it. What I do _not_ like is the acroynm!! FII!!! Sounds like what a cat says when you pull its tail real hard.
I got news on Ytsecon-IV. Whoever wants to plan it, e-mail me for details. I found a way to get at least Mike Portnoy and Derek Sherinian to show up, and possibly the whole band, and all it will take is careful planning. The target city, if we want to make this work as well as possible, should be Las Vegas, sometime late this year. Plane tickets to there from anywhere are remarkably cheap, too. I don't like going to Sodom and Gomorr-...uh, that is, Vegas... but if that's what it takes to have a killer Con, then.....
Anyway.. I hope something really _cool_ happens soon so we'll have some great topics of conversation.

Well, something about the new Falling to Infinity songs..Many people, reviewing the fix concerts, said that Take away my pain is a masterpiece. I dunno... I just feel it's something more country-style than ever... hard to imagine LaBrie singing with a cowboy hat... much more Dominici style (Aaarggh)!! I have a good copy of the recent Milan show so I carefully listened at the new songs. The best one is surely 'Peruvian skies', with lot of feelings and a so intense voice... But there's a little part reminding me some Pink Floyd stuff... very good, but not too original... Burning my soul is a real heavy song, absolutely not progressive, something like Lie and The mirror. Really powerful! I don't like Just let me breathe (so I won't even speak about..) :) About Lines in the sand I can't say that much, 'cause it's an evidnt complex song and I need to listen at it with a more clean sound, on the final release. Well, Images and Words is really so far I think....
Did u understand my english?? :-)

Hmm. Well, if it's something that really makes me suffer (i.e. heartache) it's the Beatles "The Long and Winding Road". I think that it was off of the Let it Be album. Definately that song can generate a great sob fest!

Hmmm... well... I haven't said anything about this yet... but the first thing I thought when I saw that was, what a presumptous title. But after thinking about it for a while... maybe they're thinking really big... after all Journey had Infinity and look what it did for them...
Let's hope the songs live up to the imagery of the title...

D-man said: I listen to a variety of stuff, depending on how bad my day has been. = But there are two songs that are guaranteed to pick me up and put me in a better mood, no matter how bad a day I've had. They are "Battery" = and "Master of Puppets" from Master of Puppets. I don't know why these = songs get me back into a mood where I can deal with life again.

YES!!!! Great choice!! Although if you're looking for one in that one = to bring you out more slowly, I go for Sanitarium. It all depends on = your mood.
Damn, how can anyone listen to SDV when they're depressed??? Just the = thought of that song makes me cry when I'm really down. I can't see how = anyone can come back up with Fade to Black either, just pushes me = farther down.

Here's my ten cents:
If I AM depressed, then it's usually about a woman (because I'm a geek), so I listen to the most depressing music I can find: 80's pop, esp. songs in the vein of Peter Godwin's "Images of Heaven" and Ultravox's "If I was..." These are both two perfect examples of boy-meets-girl-and-knows-he'll-never-have-her-so-he-pines-away songs. Ugh. I'm teary-eyed just thinking about them.
If I want to STAY depressed, the only thing that'll do it for me is either classical music (and by some uncanny ability, WCRB here in Boston has a way of knowing when I'm down, and they play appropriate music) or Joy Division. My god. Talk about "Put the tube in the window, start the car, turn the radio up, take a breath and listen to another song to kill yourself by...".
If I no longer WANT to be depressed, then I listen to blues. A lot of people are probably scratching their heads, saying "Huh? Blues? And who the hell is this kid, anyways?" But since I've joined a blues band, I've found a whole lot of songs that make me laugh, by all these classical blues artists. Some Howlin' Wolf, BB's "Live at Cook County Jail" (esp. when he thanks the warden and you can hear all the inmates booing and screaming), tunes like "I'm not drunk, I'm just drinkin'"... these always seem to put a smile on my face.
Like I said, just my ten cents...

An "Ally?" Are you saying Michael Coghlan resembles Adolf Hitler???
> Isn't it funny how the prostate gland, otherwise known as the male > G-spot, is located approximately a penis-length up the anus?
And by what standard does one determine a "penis-length?" I've heard that if a man makes a "gun" shape with his hand (bangbang!), it's the distance from the tip of his index finger to the tip of his thumb. This theory became so popular that supposedly it appeared on "Friends," but considering that that show is on during primetime family hours, there's no way they'd say such a thing what with all those children watching.
Plus, if you're a guitarist, that distance from index-tip to thumb-tip can easily stretch all the way out to the seventh fret of a guitar, assuming you've got long fingers. (okay maybe that personal fact was a bit more than you needed to know.)
> Isn't it funny that lesbians currently have the lowest rate of AIDS? > That's the safest sex you'll get next to abstinence...
The safest sex I'll get is sex with lesbians? No wonder I'm so unhappy.
"Single heterosexual male seeks paprika-flavored lesbian couple for the safest sex around next to abstinence. Must be willing to consume large amounts of Fruitopia."
