But just imagine rolling up into Humphrey's by the Bay in those. The place would be yours.

I've been a bit obsessed with Kid Charlemagne listening to 'The Royal Scam' quite a bit. I really wonder what Owsley or the people in the Dead thought of the tune. I kinda wish there was like a 13 minute disco Dead version somewhere. Was that tie known about the tune from the start or more later on?

Hey now re: the NKOTB/Color Me Badd/Ce Ce Peniston font use on those "Deacon Blues" lyrics on the back--sorta makes that line seem Bart Simpson-esque

ah yes a "rare" "limited edition" "vintage 1990s" shirt available in all sizes from small - 5xl, seems legit

― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 19 January 2021 04:12 (five years ago)

Nineties design overused white space, so they got that right. But who would want to revisit?

― Al Jarreau & Nancy Wilson Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald (I M Losted), Tuesday, 19 January 2021 04:55 (five years ago)

Yeah certainly doesn't seem legit... but I still ordered it.

What happened to Don's leg?

― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Monday, 25 January 2021 02:31 (five years ago)

Too much stomping on the avenue.

― pplains, Monday, 25 January 2021 02:56 (five years ago)

Combination of tropical drink and sub-par footwear did him in.

― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Monday, 25 January 2021 04:17 (five years ago)

Ask his orthopedist, Dr. Wu

what would Don 'n' Ghost of Glenn have said?

― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 12 March 2021 20:46 (five years ago)

DON: It's no surprise there's an online cottage industry of Steely Dan merchandise, because their lawyers aren't as good as ours. However the very thought of lumping them--or us, for that matter--into some sort of Punk Rock iconography is laughable, and possibly illegal.

GLENN: As so vividly illustrated in "Hey Nineteen", the barely legal stuff is where it's at!

DON: Well, yeah.

Joe Bonnamassa's name has been popping up as a hip musical crush. Remember, this glossy blues-rock was the indifferent aristocracy to poptimism's stone-throwing in the late 10's. People fought

― peace, man, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 10:50 (five years ago)

The white boomer blues golf shirt is an idea whose time has come. Bonnamassa should go all in and do a full album of golf-themed blues songs.

unrelated: i recently picked up You Gotta Walk It Like You Talk It... from the local record shop, just on a "wtf is this?" kinda standpoint. have only given it one listen but it's pretty fun to hear! the Dan-ness is legible in most of the tracks. one or two could, with some polish and added rockness, fit pretty nicely on Can't Buy A Thrill. i'm kinda surprised i'd never really registered its existence before.

There's a bit in a Steely Dan biography where they re-enact Fagen's cameo in that movie for a journalist or radio DJ, to illustrate its lameness. "Was that funny? Are you laughing?" asks Don.

Fagen might have tried another take for the lead vocals, though.

There are some other jams on there, although not Dan-influenced.

The marijuana track has a "Cold as Ice" Foreigner vibe. Maybe some Styx in there too.

Not sure what "Cocaine and Crack" is going for - Captain & Tenille?
