interesting, but so badly written I had to give up

lmao that piece def deserves to be in the bad music writing thread, can't believe it even includes "dancing about architecture"

tho some ppl i like are quoted in it

steely dan bootleg shirt designs have gone too far and must be abolished. it started with the dumb sonic youth mash up and now it's bonkers. no record nerd needs 9
'dan designs from etsy.

hahahahaha this thread revival prompted me to get a Steely Goo tee

green heather, i can't wait for it to arrive

i wear an authentic steely dan shirt, which has pit stains, tequila stains, and smells like 40+ years of cigarette butts

but no static at all when you remove it

My kid just came back from summer camp, and said one camper (around age 13-14) was *obsessed* with Steely Dan, and wore a different Dan t-shirt every day. And now my kid knows all the words to "Reelin in the Years" (yet somehow didn't know its title).

Not going to read that article, but millennials are all whack-a-doo on anti-anxiety pills and anti-depressants & isolated from 90% of daily communication via [insert social media platform du year] & survived "Tumblr aesthetics" as both Tumbl and aethestic & understand "sex" through like anime tentacle sex assault cartoons instead of scrambled Skinemax so they are more into *******vibes****** and so ultimately gobble up stuff older Gen Xers dismissed as boring dross like Steely Dan and Fleetwood Mac and Sade and Womack and Womack not to mention how the more neckbeard sector has co-opted both black metal and DJ Screw to the point where they're post about unironically enjoying dudes with names like Lil Sad Fam that we would have written off as minstrel shows or w/e not to mention that Steely Dan is so CLEAN and CLINICAL that there's probably some connection to all the gross ASMR videos they watch, idk man, I'm sticking with received wisdom on this one

I have the Sonic Youth Goo cover mashup with WB and DF but feel too self conscious to wear it out as it draws attention and comments from a lot of douchebags

how are the anti-anxiety pills interacting with your neckbeard?

it's true though, Steely Dan is like ASMR to me

Ass Music Sex Romance!

of course no actual ASMR could ever give me tingles like Wayne Shorter's solo on "Aja"

Was going to say "Rejected Chili Peppers album title."

millennials are doing lots of coke tho

What about zoomers?

Steely Dan has been a very popular band for a long time with people of all ages

That's a hot take

i heard they were singing the song of the past

i remember being really upset that seth rogen said steely dan gargles balls in knocked up. "they're good!" i thought

And what's wrong with gargling balls.

paul rudd’s character is the label guy and he liked them!

nothing wrong with gargling balls either

the more neckbeard sector has co-opted both black metal and DJ Screw to the point where they're post about unironically enjoying dudes with names like Lil Sad Fam that we would have written off as minstrel shows or w/e

my anecdotal experience tells me: yes, them too

this doesn't seem to be confirmed by data
