I missed a few of these posts, but was totally selfishly relieved to see that you got sparse on LJ not long after i did, so i consequently didn't miss much. I may go back on comment on the last few tunes from Moving Pictures, but i won't let my OCD stop me from picking up now. (That album is so over-talked anyway.)
I'm mostly here to say i'm still hangin' with ya -- or at least trying to.
Re the tune itself, i second your comment about the drums. It was actually only relatively recently -- like a couple of years ago -- that the genius of this song's drum part struck me (no pun intended). Neil has something like 6 or 8 distinct patterns he uses throughout the song -- maybe more -- and then throws in fills and variations on top of them producing a sum total result that would make a drum machine programmer hang himself.
Subdivisions isn't my favorite song on this record, but it's not one i skip -- especially cuz dropping the needle on anything but the start of a side is a pain. ;)
These are the only posts I still make here. I wanted to have some way for people to go back and view them all, or subscribe just to these via RSS, and other systems don't have tags. For everything else, though, I now post to Google+.
Ah, okay. Well, i'm glad the project continues, and i, for one, am glad it's still on LJ. I'm tempted to try Google+ in the eternally-springing hope that it's the terminal system that will somehow prevent the need for further migrations, but i know that's a lot to hope for, so for now i'm holding off. I'm sure that, eventually, i'll need to follow the crowd once again just to able to keep in touch with people. I'll deal with it then. :)

Oh, and one other note:
I went through that ( ... )
