It's weird where you find new music sometimes. I was stumbling around Steam and this track came up in a trailer for an obscure VR only excavator simulator that was bundled with another game I was looking at. One Shazam later, and here you have it. It seems to have been commissioned specifically for the game. It goes way harder than the source would suggest.

In the interview, Geddy opens up about the monumental task of preparing for the band's first tour in a decade, particularly the challenge of bringing their new drummer, Anika Nilles, up to speed. He affectionately notes that while she is phenomenally talented, she comes from a very different school of music and is currently tackling 40 tracks from their "weird, idiosyncratic" catalog. That catalog proved difficult to narrow down; Geddy shared that their initial rehearsal list sat at 45 songs, making cuts incredibly tough as he and Alex found themselves falling in love with their own music all over again. During the chat, Geddy also touches on the physical demands of these songs, singling out "YYZ" as the hardest track to play consistently night after night, and "The Anarchist" as the most difficult for him to simultaneously play bass and sing.

Beyond the upcoming tour, Beato and Geddy take a deep dive into the band's studio history, specifically the magic of the Terry Brown era. Geddy reveals that their label originally pressured them to release a live album following Permanent Waves, but the band pushed back to record Moving Pictures instead. In one of the most surprising moments of the interview, Geddy admits that the recording and mixing process for "Tom Sawyer" was so frustrating that he nearly left their biggest hit off the album entirely. The conversation also covers Geddy's gear and his firm belief that tone is ultimately in the fingers - a point he proved during the R40 tour by playing 27 different basses while still sounding unmistakably like himself.

The hour is packed with great stories, technical deep-dives, and even a hilarious surprise cameo when Alex crashes the set toward the end.

I was browsing the LastFM forums to check if there's a way to import from Listenbrainz (I'm thinking of switching because the LB UI is buggy and slow and last.fm seems to have some better analytics) and found this. Seems like a good move for the company.

Linked a playliist of songs I made, hope you guys like it. I think they all sample different songs iirc. My issue is that I don't know what genre they are. Please tell me if you know what genre they fit in!
