Leave That Thing Alone is a biweekly podcast where podcasting pros (from I Don't Even Own a Television) and pro-prog activists J.W. Friedman and Chris Collision laugh through the catalog of legendary Canadian power trio Rush, one album at a time, in order.  We love Rush without taking them, or ourselves, too seriously.

Hold it. HOLD IT. HOLD IT! Absolutely do not send us any emails or tweets or Facebook messages about "when is the next episode of the Rush podcast coming out", cuz the answer is "right now."

Join J.W. and Collision as we discuss (and mostly enjoy) one of Rush's most radio-friendly endeavors in their recording history, 1987's "Hold Your Fire". Just pretend "Tai Shan" doesn't exist.

We were gone for a real long time, but now we're back, and this time we're talking about the synthiest of Rush's "synth-era" records, "Power Windows".

Get ready for good times that devolve into okay times that devolve into exhausted times, cuz this is a record with eight songs that sound almost identical to one another. Come for Collision's inevitable "Geddy is actually named Gary" story, and tick around for J's sudden and shameful realization that maybe this isn't his favorite Rush record after all. It's Leave That Thing Alone, and we're back on our business, bay-beeeee.
