Anglo-Finnish artist
Sanna Annukka's vibrant, flat design work (especially her
Icons series) got me curious about her, well, iconography.
She mentioned
The Kalevala previously, the Finnish national epic poem (
in Finnish here), a tale of creation and heroism that arguably spurred the Finns to independence from the Russians.
Like so much else epic and awesome, it spawned a '70s prog band, with
three albums.

Rush Rush is a
Canadian rock band comprising bassist, keyboardist, and lead vocalist
Gary Lee Weinrib, guitarist
Alexander Zivojinovich, and drummer and lyricist
Neil Ellwood Peart.
Bewitched by
Ayn Rand, obsessed by nuclear war and enraptured by
cheap science fiction, Rush were role models to
geeks everywhere,
yearning to be cool, but
failing. Still,
they rocked, in their own way.
