| It’s 2-1-12 So Crank Up ’2112′ For Rush Day! Posted: 01 Feb 2012 10:12 AM PST  And the meek shall inherit the Earth... Today is 2-1-12, or 2112... and I couldn't let this day go by without mentioning this date day, a special one for us Rush fans. In honor of today's date, be sure to crank up Rush's awesome, amazing, fantastic album 2112. The 1976 concept album was the Canadian's trio's four studio effort, and after their previous album, Caress of Steel, was a financial flop, it was also Rush's final chance with their record label, which was against the band doing another concept album. But the band - bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer Neil Peart, the latter of whom was the main lyricist -- stuck to their guns and put out the album they wanted to with 2112. Not only was 2112 the band's first commercial success, the album also went on to become one of the most popular rock albums of all time, with its Starman emblem as one of the most recognizable symbols in rock [...]      |

| Posted: 01 Feb 2012 08:15 AM PST  Cinema in 2011 saw the strikingly bold creation of the universe, as well as an artistic rendering of the universe coming to its bleak annihilation. Audiences were strung along decimated battlefields torn apart because of war, just as they were strung along corridors and offices only to encounter a few decimated souls of Wall Street executives emotionally torn thanks to the realization of a looming stock-market debacle. Trying to escape reality, whether it was by taking cover in an underground tornado shelter, a trip to a Hawaiian resort or engaging in a cult that promises enduring happiness, proved to be an impossible task. Individuals even went to such a distance where they would lock themselves in an octagon cage, attempting to beat the senses out of one another in order to become numb to reality. Reality imperceptibly arrives at our doorstep thousands of times faster than a Formula 1 racecar. Running from it is futile. We have to be fearless and self-sufficient, like Cistercian monks or a taciturn driver with an unruffled spirit [...]      |
