very Dan-jacent, even the vocal is Fagen-esque www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpht...

70's Donald fagen - hates touring, hates his voice, doesn't want to be lead singer, has stage fright Two Against Nature Donald:

from a 2013 interview

I would like to reiterate that I love @baddantakes.bsky.social Steely Dan podcast, Gaucho Amigos. And this episode with Bernard Purdie is extra entertaining. Get in there if ya haven’t!

forgot that stephen colbert lowkey dropped one of the most egregious misreadings of a steely dan-verse song ever

logging on this morning

I’ve been dipping in and out of this playlist by @baddantakes.bsky.social since the holidays (it’s not actually 🎄-related) and my god it’s astounding. Discovering so much, including 1 LP I’ve already scheduled for #MWE this month. If you love the Dan/adjacent, you owe this to yourself.

this guy perfectly arranges and plays entire steely dan songs for acoustic guitar, never seen anything like it www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WYf...

"only a fool would say that" isn't about john lennon

this could almost be a Ween song youtu.be/VAhh2IKdd5I

might be the man himself?

my Bernard Purdie interview is on Youtube btw www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhc7...

@baddantakes.bsky.social Seen in the wild...

I wonder if there any songs that portray los angeles as a post-apocalpytic wasteland and that specifically reference the santa ana winds

new episode of Gaucho Amigos is up, had a fun rambling chat with Jake Morris, the longtime drummer for Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks talked about Malkmus, indie rock touring, his new solo album "The Long Goodbye," and why he won't see Steely Dan live anymore open.spotify.com/episode/4AFs...

The Three Ages Of Man

Donald and Walter were prophets

they look like they're 37 minutes into a mushrooms trip

a perfect frame

adam curtis should use this clip of "I.G.Y." playing in an empty football stadium

they actually had to destroy all footage of the Gaucho Sessions for this reason

going morph mode

find something in life you love as much as denny dias loved overalls (or donald loved that damn christmas sweater)

got new sheets for xmas

PREDICTIONS FOR 2025 -donald fagen announces solo tour dates -donald fagen announces new solo album

four wine coolers deep on new year’s eve and “reelin’ in the years” comes on

I always felt like Fagen's vocal on this song was Dylanesque. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IG_...

closest they ever came to doing Dylan youtu.be/BwAu9S_UBPo

whatever your thoughts on A Complete Unknown, I think we can all agree a movie set during the making Gaucho would be the greatest rock biopic of all time

extremely rare Don photo from the Nightfly sessions didn't realize he stayed in character for it

thought of this while watching A Complete Unknown
