And the award for most unlikely TV musical guest goes to...

Canadian sort-of-prog-sort-of-hard-rock trio Rush will be performing live tonight!... on TV. More specifically, The Colbert Report.

Which is kind of odd. They've never been on SNL or Letterman/Leno or anything. And yet they're somehow going to fit Neil Peart's behemoth of a drum set onto Colbert's relatively small stage. I have no idea how this is going to turn out but I can't imagine it would be anything less than amusing.

So remember tonight to hop the turbine freight home to watch as they're captured by the camera eye and subsequently make electrical airwaves crackle with life! Be cool by watching or be cast out. Uh... Xanadu! (dear god kill me)
