This week's #RushForCraig going back and filling in an older album we skipped along the way, is A Farewell To Kings. Other than Xanadu, I'm actually not particularly familiar with this one, so looking forward to spending some time with it.

@lufthans @jorge Hey friends. I have had a difficult few weeks (out-of-country conference, and then surgery and recovery) but am still listening, and will write something soon.

@lufthans @jorge Hey, friends, I FINALLY wrote a thing: https://drbacchus.com/rush-week-13-a-farewell-to-kings/

Who's next?

@rbowen @lufthans Heh. "Cygnus X-1, it's like a practice run before Hemispheres."

Not sure what we should do next, what's left to do?

Rbowen Jul 5, 2024

@jorge @lufthans According to my list, we still have:

* Permanent Waves
* Moving Pictures
* Signals
* Power Windows
* Presto
* Vapor Trails
* Clockwork Angels

Possible bonus options

* My Favorite Headache
* Victor

Jorge Castro Jul 5, 2024

@rbowen @lufthans I vote for Permanent Waves then!

@rbowen @jorge here's what I have for albums and dates

https://mastodon.social/@lufthans/112656550082039999

We had 4 left and have been listening to Clockwork Angels

https://mastodon.social/@lufthans/112656624337884469

We can repeat on Permanent Waves, it's a fine choice :)

I like the MFH and V bonus options, do we want to hit those before meandering into the live albums?

Rbowen Jul 5, 2024

@lufthans @jorge I somehow missed that we had already chosen Clockwork Angels. Awesome. Doing that, then. :)

der.hans Jul 5, 2024

@rbowen @jorge Cool, I could use extended time on Clockwork Angels

As the newest album it doesn't get the attention the of the older stuff and I've been enjoying a fresh listen on it

Rbowen Jul 5, 2024

@lufthans @jorge Even though it's TWELVE YEARS OLD (hard to believe) I really still haven't listened to it very much. Looking forward to this.

der.hans Jul 5, 2024

@rbowen @jorge yeah, Clockwork Angels is the new guy of albums at this point :)

Jorge Castro Jul 5, 2024

@lufthans @rbowen Yeah, I'm down for that one again!

Jorge Castro Jul 5, 2024

@lufthans @rbowen I've kind of just started to explicitly started going through the back catalog more, just redid Signals the other day.

Rbowen Jul 5, 2024

@jorge @lufthans Oh, wait, we did PW in week 4: https://drbacchus.com/permanent-waves-rush-week-4/

@rbowen @jorge hope the surgery recovery is going well!

Also listening, but behind in getting things done

Jorge Castro Jun 21, 2024

@lufthans @rbowen I'm also on the road, wishing you a speedy recovery!
