they had an event at the knitting factory nyc tonight; maybe it premiered there? the event listing is pretty ambiguous as to whether there is actually an episode 11 though

They should make more. Seems like there's we're definitely an audience for this.

Nothing on the website yet.
Anyone catch Ryznar and Hollywood Steve on VH1's 100 greatest songs of the 90s?

I was thinking about to go to NYC for that party tonight but, eh. I do hope they put up a new episode though.

11 is up: http://www.channel101.com/shows/show.php?show_id=152

It's pretty epic. 'ya mo.k. to drive?'

"mellow, but not smooth..."

hollywood steve lost a lot of weight

"mellow, but not smooth" is definitely the breakout quote

"Those weren't people James Ingram, those were Jimmy Buffett fans."
"How about a Me.L.T.?"

JD Ryznar, thank you for bringing back Yacht Rock and Hunter Stair.

i now have a yacht rock edit of i can't go for that by hall and oates track on constant loop.

Mark,
please share it!

i already have, but as blog-plugs are frowned upon, here it is.

cheers Mark!

here's another one.

less yacht but always disco!

not really sure that edit adds anything to the original (get the 12" extended mix for some extra smooth pleasure).

just draws it out a little really.
hit the spot on a sunny frday morning, much to my surprise.
also, didn't think/hoped i'd see the "yacht rock" term being used again.

Yach Rock re-revival is the new thing for 2009

For this buzz about yacht rock we need to say thanks to Johnno Burgess and his podcast on RA.

Errrr...

i just noticed for the first time yesterday that the Yacht Rock dude who played Michael McDonald (i think?) posted on this thread. i saw the same dude a few years ago in my local supermarket

how come their Dr. Dre looks and sounds like Ja Rule?

last one?

MORE DISCUSSION OF YACHT ROCK -- AND/OR YACHT ROCK EDITS OF OLD SONGS -- PLEASE.

where do i (legally) find these edits? i'd happily buy them.

That was fun.

RIP Hollywood Steve ;_;

but Spencer otm

so who killed Koko?

Ha, I don't know if my review earns an otm!

New yacht rock = made my week/month

An ex-girlfriend of mine used to refer to taking a shit as "doing a Kenny Loggins." You know, sometimes you look back on life and rue the ones that got away...

Just discovered this series, which is brilliant (and the music is also good as long as it's in the 70s. AOR is one musical genre that got considerably worse in the 80s than in the 70s). Sadly no more episodes, unless the ghost of Hollywood Steve turns up with some story about the comebacks of Steely Dan and The Eagles in the 00s (the rest of the series' main acts haven't had hits for over 20 years).

This should come back

Hey Loggins, this is Michael McDonald. Do you want to come over? James Ingram and I are wasted and writing smooth music.

i thought the heart of the difference between soft rock and yacht rock was that the former was a melancholic and wistful or even maudlin clinging on to the hippie dream that said a peaceful world could exist here and now or sometime soon (setting off to look for america, me and you and a dog named boo loving and living off the land, making love in a chevy van, the open road and possibilities) and the latter was a hedonistic escape in response to the unease and ennui following the death of that dream making the here and now something uninhabitable (running off to a tropical island or out to the open sea or into the dark of night, stealing away to somewhere else).
