It’s Podwork Angels: The Rush Hour, a podcast dedicated to the Canadian rock band Rush! Justin Mancini of TheCineMaverick.com & Cinema Joes is joined by fellow Cinema Joes podcast host Noah Franc of FrancNoir, as well as Luke Martin, host of Talking the Coda, as they delve into the discography of Canada’s favorite sons, from 1974 to 2012.
In the 14th episode of the season, Justin, Luke, and Noah take a look at Rush in the mid-90s and early 21st century with 1996’s Test for Echo and. They debate the profundity of dream poetry, praise Geddy’s willingness to sing the harshest of vowel sounds, and offer some long overdue advice to the late Aaron Copland. And as always, they recommend more artists for your listening pleasure.
