Steely Dan C or D?

But Steely Dan are not a moral arbiter and never were... I feel you, slappy bird, I'm just rooting for you to throw down with some profound stuf!

Who's OK to like, who makes you cool, who's crimes go unmentioned...Lindsey Buckingham dragged his girlfriend by her hair down his gravel driveway, one hand on her head and another on the steering wheel of his Mercedes. Who cares? I love Tusk. I love Gaucho. I think the politics of who's hip and who's scum, it's all very funny. That's all. I should clarify once again though that assaulting your wife is 100% dud.

Once again : talk about Donald fagen or steely Dan. Otherwise fuck the fuck off

Try caring about domestic abuse instead of using it as some kind of bingo thing

none of this is funny

Check out the North Korea thread. Always hilarious!

Lindsey Buckingham did that?

If he did I'm sad to hear it, and it will mean something for my appreciation of his work.

Wrong thread and most of us are familiar with the alleged stories.

It's easy to hate fleetwood mac simply because they suck and their music is awful. No consideration of non-musical behavior necessary.

^^^^^

Go to your room, Shakey. Stevie Nicks will be dragging you and Phil by the hair presently.

shakey and the top man vs. practically everybody who's ever played music. WHO COULD POSSIBLY BE RIGHT

imo the "oh, they abused someone? well their music was shit anyway" attitude is really insulting and obnoxious posturing garbage

like there are real people involved in this, not just your taste

Lol @ "practically everybody"

Def nothing funny about it, an ugly moment. Hopefully that's all it is. He apparently grabbed and pushed her during an argument. AFAIK he doesn't have a prior history of violence against her or other women? Doing something shitty in an angry moment doesn't per se make someone a monster .

It does in the age of Twitter Court.

writing "You Can Go Your Own Way" is pretty monstrous fwiw

you should read her book. he was a monster to her for their entire relationship.

Donald Fagen's wife wrote a book?

I think that one was re Lindsey Buckingham

man alive clearly referring to the recent Fagen incident tho

ah, my bad

i do remember a bit in fagen's (awful, awful) memoir from a few years ago about his wife fedex-ing him Ativan in the middle of a tour.

Let's play a song game mixed up with the latest news. I'll start...

The Royal Scam (my bitch wife's story about me strangling her with my scarf)
Pretzel Logic (my dumbass wife's way of thinking before i knock some sense into her)
Do It Again (beat her with my boot)

Anyone else?

mmmm yes, but the art

are these posts some sort of cry for help?

just trying to bring the lols.

keep trying

Ha, I'd never noticed this before... I wonder if this was intentional or just a crazy coincidence? They match up pretty much exactly!

Ehh, interesting, but I think it's just called "having a style."

Very cool!

That sounds good! If it were Nickelback, we would all be like "I TOLD you all their songs sound the same."

Definitely sounds like a cool self-referential thing. Way too similar in tempo, harmony, and melody to be an accident. The song "Aja" was written in 74/75 and demoed for Katy Lied, so it's not a stretch.

are there any katy lied demos out there with aja?

I have some, from who knows where.

yousendit?

I'll lookintoit when I get home.

I'm at work right now: Are these active?

me too. I'll check later. thanks

They are very much active.

Thanks for the heads up.

i like don't know this band much outside of the hits but i started listening to the album "pretzel logic about 15 minutes ago, and am now 15 minutes in, and i like it a lot.

i think it might be really good.

welcome

it's kind of weird though
