Rush Caress of Steel

Right now, I am listening to the album Caress of Steel by Rush. This record is so unbelievably b b b b b b beast!!! The story of how I came to purchase this record is pretty funny. I was home in Canandaigua, NY and I went to a thrift store up there called Volunteers of America. As I was sifting through their records, which are all a dollar a piece, I came across Countdown to Ecstasy by Steely Dan. I am a huge fan of Steely Dan and immediately pulled it out with full intent of purchasing it. However, because I was at a thrift store I had to go through each record that I picked out just to make sure they weren't broken, too scratced or not even in the sleeve. When I got to Steely Dan, I pulled out the record and much to my surprise and delight, I found Caress of Steel!!! Woah!!! How Bizarre (as that shitty band from the 90's used to say) that the two nerdiest bands in the history of music are mixed up like that. It seemed so appropriate. I tell you the vinyl gods were smiling on me that day. From this moment on I will always refer to that experience as The Caress of Steely Dan. Now do you people realize how amazing they are?!?!?! Not only does their music kick ass but they also give you Rush albums!
