I just want to be in a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline

Update: this pressing of Gaucho has the glitch in the title track at 5:02 💩

Happy birthday to the Magnificant One, the one and only one, Donald Fagen

Completed my SD CD collection. Bought Aja and Katy Lied years ago, then got Citizen box, 2AN, and EMG. Now with Citizen being MIA (it’s gotta be in the house SOMEWHERE, right?), I figured it was time. These are the 1998-2000 remasters. Anyone have thoughts on sound quality? Haven’t listened yet.

I'm about a third of the way through the excellent "The Cars: Let the Stories Be Told" by @billjanovitz.bsky.social. Music production nerd that I am, when I saw mention of the Pollard Syndrum in the recording notes for "Good Times Roll", I had to go look it up: cherryaudio.com/news/the-syn...

Feast your eyes on this hand-drawn logo I made in the 90s for a funk band I never started. Guess I was listening to a lot of Parliament at the time :)

The riff! The fills! The solo! The 9th (?) chord at 1:27! youtu.be/JVVWrhZ_8xw?...

“Kate & Allie” is totally Steely Dan coded

Not sure if it’s underappreciated, but I really love “Miles from Our Home”.

Great insight from @lloydcole.bsky.social's Substack: "...had I been more open to the idea of our music embracing elements I would personally have been at odds with, had I known that Steely Dan and Black Sabbath actually had some great songs, we could never have been that band that we were."

Your annual reminder for tonight: If you start playing “Josie” by Steely Dan at 11:59:29pm, Donald Fagen sings “We’re gonna break out the hats and hooters” precisely at midnight.

Pro Tip; If you start De La Soul’s “Stakes Is High” at 11:57pm, you won’t be stuck listening to shitty music going into the New Year.

Timely quote I just read: “With one hand the past moves us forward, and with the other it holds us back.”

See I’m a city slicker / I ain’t no townie

There aren't many Steely Dan songs with musical elements that don't fit, but the 4-second pick scrape at 2:34 in "Change Of The Guard" is definitely one of them.

Did you know that the Internet Archive has a huge collection of FM radio broadcasts of live show recordings? Freely & legitimately stream or download some of the fantastic performances here (I've picked up some Garcia-Saunders, Smashing Pumpkins, Randy Newman, & more) : archive.org/details/fmra...

Periodic reminder that if you're a Steely Dan fan, you should absolutely subscribe to Expanding Dan. expandingdan.substack.com/p/top-steely...

Six months later, I finally rebuilt my music library with all the physical discs I ripped to lossless, along with a bunch of stuff that I owned digitally. Last step: bring over all the low quality random crap I want to keep from my old library. Currently: enjoying lossless music with my new IEMs!

Petition to create a new unit of time called the Gaucho, which is equivalent to ~38 minutes
