Hello everyone,
It's been too long since I last checked in, but I've been thinking about you all a lot, so maybe the thought counts? Anyway...
Today is a very important day. It is a day when you can stand up to be counted on the side of all things good and true in the world. When you can raise your voice and speak out for the purity and beauty of personal expression, of love and peace and harmony, and in celebration of the most kick-ass rock band ever. Yes, you can hightail it out to your local record store and buy the new Rush album, Snakes and Arrows.
Just trust me on this one.
There's a song on there called The Way The Wind Blows that is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. I get goosebumps just thinking about it now. The album sounds fantastic – Alex' guitar playing is stellar, Geddy's vocals and bass playing are stunning, Neil's lyrics are insightful, thought-provoking and inspiring, and his drumming is, in my opinion, the most powerful drum performance of his career. Big words, yes, but this record is that good.

Trust me.

Get excited. Get inspired. Get in your car and get this record. Remember how it feels to be enthralled by the music? When you wake up in the morning just so you can hear that song again?  I want the good guys to win in this world. Good guys who make GREAT records. Records we can love.

I LOVE THIS RECORD. And I'm standing up for it.

Thanks for checking in. I'll have more news on our new record soon. But today is all about my friends' new masterpiece.
Best,
Matt

Hello Everyone!

Some exciting news I wanted to share with you: On June 14, Sean and I tracked three new songs with my good friend and drummer extraordinaire, Neil Peart. One of the songs is a collaboration between Neil and myself, and it, along with the other two tunes, turned out beautifully. It was a milestone day for me, to record with someone who is both one of my closest friends and one of my biggest influences, and the "good vibes" from everyone involved made the session a truly memorable experience. Neil wrote a great piece about the day, and I wanted to steer you all to it. Check it out in the "News" section of Neil's site:

Many thanks to Neil for his enthusiasm ("infected with the gods" indeed!) and amazing skill. Thanks also to Chris, Garrison, and Mark for helping to make the day go so smoothly. We'll keep you updated as the new songs continue to "grow up", but its beginning...

Best,
Matt
