Paul, where do 10,000 vinyl albums live??? Amazing.

Neogeo, we have a bit larger than normal two car garage. I have the albums in a bunch of storage cabinets along one side. Pretty much takes up the whole wall top to bottom. They are not sorted that well- that's a project I still want to tackle (or maybe pay one of my kids to do it !!).

M83 was kind of a recent discovery for me. After I heard Midnight City I got hooked. Claudia Lewis is a great song, as is OK Pal, Steve McQueen, and We Own The Sky. They have many other great songs.

What can we say about Rush? Absolutely legendary rock. What many folks don't realize is what a great writer Neil Peart is. Not just lyrics. He has suffered from tremendous family tragedies. He had a common law marriage to Jackie Taylor, and their 19 year old daughter Selena was killed in a one car accident in 1998 as she was heading off to her first year of college. Jackie couldn't get over it- her grief overcame her and she got cancer and died 10 months later. Neil obviously had a hard time, and he dealt with it by taking time off from Rush and embarking on a 55,000 mile motorcycle journey through Canada and the U.S. This is chronicled in his book, "Ghost Rider, Travels on The Healing Road". I highly, highly recommend that everyone read his book. It's an amazing piece of literature. Neil's nickname is "The Professor". Neil has written 3 other books as well, one that lines up with our discussion here about what kind of music he listens to on the road.

I agree with Mojave that he is arguably one of the best drummers alive now. Check out some of his solos on Youtube.
