If this is gonna be anything like Chris’s one hit wonders episode, prepare for some of the best wonky pop music nerdery you’re ever gonna hear. This ep should BE GREAT!

Funny because these successful, popular candidates seem to fight for and follow through on the very promises and policies Jaime-Harrison-types half-assedly campaign on and then back away from once elected.

Remember how the internet came out and we liked it and it worked really well and then there was a tech bubble because too many people were making the internet we liked that worked even better? Feels different now.

I’m Nithya Raman and I approve this message.

If any confused yacht rockers would like to come on the yacht or nyacht podcast and have us show you how it all works, the door to the fart dungeon is always open. www.msn.com/en-us/music/...

But we chopped up the potato later and fed the crew.

Who plays cribbage?

Well, it certainly isn’t about nuns!

This is very fair, I would say.

Yes. Toto are his backing musicians and a Toto wrote the song.

Seeing a yacht rock band over the weekend reminded me how much classic hip hop loved sampling Steely Dan

There are no words to express how enjoyable it is to be sitting out in the sun on my balcony, with a peek-a-boo river view, listening to Yacht Rock, on a Sunday afternoon. Like seriously. It does not get much better 😎

Out of the way. I’m trying to get to Lake Michigan to go swimming before your pro-corporate policies and the fascists slam dunking your lobs render it toxic.

OK. Sixteen years into fatherhood I’m finally understanding the value of having children.

Here’s 68 hours of yacht rock. This is nearly all yacht rock so far. Don’t write another lyric about it until you listen to all of it.

The idea of a city or a country coming together in joy just sent tears shooting out of my eyes. I'm so starved for communal happiness. I think we all are.

No. Divorcecore isn’t about divorcey lyrical themes. It’s a sound that happened when artists left 60s-70s bands in the 80s and wanted to show off all their shiny new 80s instruments in their solo projects. In this, ABBA is still together and it sounds like every other ABBA song.

I don’t even care Faygo didn’t pay me for this free advertising. I don’t even care I had to buy a 4 pack of this from dollar tree for $1.25. I just care about summer and fun, so fuck you!

Fuck I wanted to park here.

Fuck yeah. Libraries forever.

Now and again, I like to throw up our Hollywood attempt at a yachtrockesque show. Dave Lyons secured us an iconic location. Lonely Island, who produced it, got us Ryan Phillipe and Maya Rudolph (She's incredible in this.) I love telling fake stories about great music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqJS...

We’re doing a true crime segment on our podcast called “Steve’s Favorite Murder,” where we cover music-related murders, and my co-hosts made fun of me for the voice I used, having no idea who Keith Morrison is. But they look like the fools! Thanks for having my back, listener.

Don’t write hate mail, cult. I don’t know why folks are so passionate about forcing the yacht rock label onto all soft rock songs. You HAVE “soft rock” (another term no one used in the day.) Just embrace that term. It’s a good term that covers EVERYTHING. #gatekeeping

Surprised Madonna’s “Open Your Heart” was not included Anyways, great episode! @jdryznar.bsky.social @hollywoodsteve.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Just when we were starting to find his yacht rock songs. ☹️

Services rule.

More like Commie Sans.

To learn more about Bum Farto, listen to me recount his legendary tale on this episode of Billion Dollar Record Club:

I want to thank our listeners for helping grow the audience of Beyond Yacht Rock 2000. In the last six months, our audience has gotten 13% bigger. We're still a ways away, but remember, if we reach a consistent level of 5000 listeners, JD (that's me) is gonna go full Gallagher.

If you know, you know. If you don't, catch up on the Yacht or Nyacht Podcast.

@kenansalazar.bsky.social Have you considered covering "Love In Exile" by Charlie Puth an actually making it yacht rock. Earth Kenan can turn anything into a yacht rock song using his own arrangements and real instruments and as far as I can tell, no AI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcXR...

I requested something I thought was hilarious, clever and original to Matt and he said "You mean the bit they did on Letterman ages ago?" and just cut that one up.

Tax their obscene wealth away and fund the fuck out of NASA. Get some national pride back, because this is some oligarch shit I am DEEPLY ashamed of. “Don’t Look Now” is joining “Idiocracy” in the annals of accidental documentaries.

I curated a top ten in a genre I call Meta Pop - songs about themselves. Which ones did I miss? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

I’m I the only one who thinks Carlin would have taken a heartbreaking MAGA turn had he lived long enough?

i feel this in my bones. I walk around all day feeling like my entire life is built on sand.

JK Simmons doing a paid promotional bit for the Mets, making sure we can all see where his heart belongs— to the Dertroit Beisbolcats.

You don't need AI to buy things wholesale and sell them to people at break-even retail prices without the insatiable drive to maximize profit at all costs. You just need a fucking calculator.

Time to honor war dead smoothly.

Yacht rock rules, bitch.

Bean Time, couple hours from now. These are my storied garage sale beans. I bought 3 5lb jars of black beans at a garage sale in giant, beautiful Ball jars. They’re stale as hell, but with practice I can make them tender. Curious to see what kind of heat these arbols will bring. Lil’ experiment.

He was a great guest. I am reminded of when the Sklar brothers interviewed Rowdy Roddy Piper in their podcast. I don't follow wrestling anymore so I don't know if MVP was a "face" or a "heel" but he came across as just a smart, fun, normal dude in a crazy profession, very much like Piper.

The amopunt of Willie Dynamite reffewrences alone in the opening intro are enough to make this one of the greatest episodes all time. MVP had me at collectivize.

Great “Friends on the Tens” with wrestling legend MVP bringing us a genre of his own. Don’t know why this huge, cool guy likes to hang with us music nerds, but he does! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Oh my god, @the305mvp.bsky.social is on Beyond Yacht Rock 2000 today. WORLDS COLLIDE @hollywoodsteve.bsky.social @jdryznar.bsky.social 🤼
