Longtime IoF© residents

Stepping into th' cage is none other then prog powerhouse and latterday FoamFavorites© Rush! Yay! Bellying up against the talented trio we have sensitive pop troubadour Peter Sarstedt!

Poptastic Pete prepares for fight by fingering dollybird fan! Note costly beverages, elegant smoking materials, stylish décor!


Th' Rushes relax before contest by propping each other up, too relaxed to stand!

  1. Your interaction will have increased agency with today's deliverables; the acclaimed double disc Rush comp Chronicles, and a totally forgotten Sarstedt album! Yours to keep whatever you decide!

  2. Odd I suppose, but I've listened to Sarstedt more than Rush.

    1. What an epic contest this is turning out to be! The Manitoba Minstrels hit back to make it anybody's game!

  4. I've never heard of Peter Sarstedt so Rush it is!

  5. You first present Rush. With a bit of a question. Should i do it?, What do you think about Rush? Only a few days later you give the choice between Peter "Where Do Yo Go To My Lovely" Sarstedt and Rush. And I think, is that a U-turn waiting to happen? There's never gonna be a Rush post, is there?
    You changed the picture in the previous post to a gif of a lady in underwear. And immediately I remember that "carefully designed topless swimsuit, that gives you an even suntan"
    Let's get it over with and shower us in Peter Sarstedt. Though I'd like Don Partridge more. But that is a totally different kind of world.

    1. It's too close to call, but there's a lot fighting to come! Don't touch that dial!

  6. I recon to even up the numbers Peter would tag his brother Robin (My Resistance Is Low) into the ring to give those fashion avoiding Canucks a good pasting. Peter and Geddy will be preoccupied with smoking in the corner of the ring whist discussing hair products. However ‘hardman’ Rush guitarist Alex is going to be difficult to put down, probably leaving just a bloodied Robin and Alex standing in an entertaining draw.

    1. Unfortunately, Richard and Clive Sarstedt are too scared to step into the cage, leaving Peter alone to face the Trio from Toronto!

    2. Life is so unfair, but I guess them's de rules.

  7. Well as I see it Sarstedt came from the mean streets of Naples where men held stilettos like a fifth finger and Rush are a bunch of Canuck wimps who whined about dungeons and dragons and suchlike and freted constantly about getting their hair wet.. no contest.. Pete for the win

  8. Ok, I'll go for the Rush, but let me tell you: I don't think this is a fair contest, since the fighters are not in the same league. It's kinda like a fight between Thanos and Steve Rogers before he got injected with that serum...

    But Rush it is, all the way.

  9. Peter's stilted mid-song laugh in the only thing he ever recorded (in the hope of joining Europe's Beautiful People to whom it was an oily paean) is enough to make me stand ringside like the raging granny at Saturday afternoon wrestling on 'World Of Sport', urging the Rush brothers to knock his moustache off and for him get back to doing shows with Spit The Dog.

    Mind you, I've already got 'Chronicles'.

    1. Ah, that laugh ... possibly the most tragically misunderstood in the anals of pop music. He was laughing ironically. Or even sarcastically. He's not being Santy Claus. It's a great single, and deserved to be a hit. And he could yet have the Rockers from Regina on the mat.

  10. I never listen to neither, but I'm darn amused that the Sat'dy Slugfest starts on a Friday!

  11. Well, never heard Sarstedt, but I have heard Rush...I'll pass on both. Thanx anyway.

    1. This is like passing on all the horses at Santa Anita. You're here, pally, let's see the color of your money!

    2. Tom Sawyer's the only Rush I can think of...too over-blown for me, so I'll check out Sarstedt since I'm here at the track. BTW--my money used to be green, when I had some.

    3. Rush? Over-blown?

      (I'm still not sure you're on board with this one - you are asked to bet on who's going to win the cagefight. By casting your vote you increase that party's chance of winning.)

    4. Hard to choose between an unknown & a not well-liked barely-known...

    5. Nothing worthwhile in life is easy, notBob. Give it your best shot!

      ("The unknown, and the not well-liked and barely known" has long been integral to th' IoF© T.O.S.)

    6. Ok, WTF--after careful consideration (and flipping an imaginary coin), I'll go for Rush.

      Delete
    7. Hey, "The unknown, and the not well-liked and barely known" should have been the name of a band I played in a few years back!

  12. Rush can gangbang that wimp in no time. My vote.

  13. The cage fight winner will be "RUSH".

    ReplyDelete
  14. Is it true that you have an unknown masterpiece by The Peter Sarstedt and fight that off against easily available through all kinds of channels music by Rush?
    In that case my hesitation to choose falls now in favor of Peter Sarstedt.

  16. I don't have a dog in this fight - which I missed completely - but at one time I was pretty obsessively listening to the one and only Sarstedt song I know "Where Do You Go To My Lovely?" with its weird fake-French chanson allure. And that was before the weird short film from Wes Anderson before "The Darjeeling Limited" and that movie made it a hipster number!

    So, uh, moral point in defeat for Mr. Sarstedt?

  17. Thanks for the Sarstedt! An upgrade on the copy I have. But Rush? Oh dear - sent to bin.

If your comment doesn't immediately appear, it means Kreemé is checking the handwriting before passing it on to me. I'm a busy man and have no time to decipher crayoned scrawls.
