Foo Fighters Perform 2112 Overture Tribute to Rush at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction

Hysterical.  Love the costuming.  (Thanks to Larry for the link.)

Philate This! Rush, the Hip and the Guess Who Now on Stamps.

The next time you mail a letter, you can use a special Rush "Starman" stamp.  And no, mom, this isn't some kind of satanic symbol.  We dealt with all that back in the 70s.

And it's not just Rush, either.  The Tragically Hip, The Guess Who and Quebec artist Beau Dommage are part of this new Canadian Record Artist Stamp series.  Read more here.

Oh, and Rush is now officially in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Billboard has an interview with the band.  There's oenophile talk.

Alex points to a radio stream available on iTunes in the Ambient category called SomaFM, which features actual NASA transmissions paired with ambient music.  It's oddly compelling and strangely relaxing.  My dog seems to really like it, too.

Peter sent me the article from The Atlantic about a weird flex-disc record from the late 1960s.  It was apparently included with an issue of National Geographic following the Apollo 11 moon landing.
