Can you get me to the border of Mexico? I'll explian when we arrive. I was thinking that honourable mention should go to Player, if only for the inclusion of Ronn Moss in their ranks. Later to become Ridge from Bold and the Beautiful. Yacht.

Oh yeah, aythtok.blogspot.com

I came to this thread to make a variant of the "yachting type" joke that xhuxk made last summer.

Arriving like that. Better get a drink. Maybe a'lude with that. Are you from the future?

Ship ahoy! Just noticed that Yacht Rock 6 is now available for download.

And it's a wretchedly unfunny detour. What the hell happened?

― Doctor Casino (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 07:36 (twenty years ago)

Ouch. They had a good thing going, I hope that didn't kill it.

This feels like a departure episode for them -- in the same way that South Park did "Not Without My Anus", the all Terence and Philip episode... except not as immediately funny. It lacks the punches to the gut that the others do, but I think might be appreciated more in time. I do hope #7 gets things rolling again.

― Dom iNut (donut), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:04 (twenty years ago)

I did LOL during the Hollywood Steve parts at the beginning and end though.

― Dom iNut (donut), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:04 (twenty years ago)

I'll grant that Hollywood Steve's "So can I go back to LA, and continue covering Yacht Rock?" bit gave me a smile. It does look like they intend to return to normal next episode - I'm going to speculate that "in time" this one will come to seem sort of like the Puppet Stuff diversions at Homestarrunner, or maybe Monster, a weird excursion in which the truly devoted can discover gems, but which you'd never recommend to someone who'd never seen the show before.

― Doctor Casino (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:24 (twenty years ago)

The rock parodies on SCTV are amazing

― Zwan (miccio), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:27 (twenty years ago)

I actually enjoyed this diversion. It's like the Monkees' "Fairy Tale" episode.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 23:20 (twenty years ago)

I thought it was hilarious, how the fuck else were they going to do the Jethro Tull episode?

Lest we forget

My co-blogger Dexterity just did a really good post on "The Yacht". Handled with rescpect and disipline. More of the same please. And, needless to say, I don't wanna hear any of you indies complain.

That just gave me an idea -- preserve Wmsburg Brooklyn as a working "hipster colony," and make it into a tourist attraction for future generations.

Thanks a fucking lot -- Mayor Bloomberg just approved the rezoning for this. Your so-called hipsters are about to become as scarce as Indians at Jamestown settlement. Then you're fucked, because we invented everything, including drinking.

Hmm, ironic casino...note to self, call gaming commission.

― Ian Christe (Ian Christe), Monday, 6 February 2006 21:14 (twenty years ago)

i was gonna say the colonial aspect of YR6 seemed to echo the earlier statement about a "williamsburg hipster colony", as well as getting all meta on itself. for that, its funny.

BTW, since it was expressed in a different thread: HOLLYWOOD STEVE FOR EMP KEYNOTE!

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 6 February 2006 21:28 (twenty years ago)

three weeks pass...

There's a new episode, but I can't get it to play :(

― Chairman Doinel (Charles McCain), Monday, 27 February 2006 19:39 (twenty years ago)

it's kind of weak. a holdover until ep. 7 in my humble o.

― regular roundups (Dave M), Monday, 27 February 2006 19:45 (twenty years ago)

no - ep 7 is up, i think

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Monday, 27 February 2006 19:48 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, EP 7. it's the first done as a Quicktime instead of MP4. i think that's my problem.

― Chairman Doinel (Charles McCain), Monday, 27 February 2006 19:59 (twenty years ago)

"Hi, I'm Hollywood Steve, and you've caught me making love"

A task for y'all in cyberspace: my brother, an original-wave Yacht Rock devotee, wants me to see if I can track down the SCTV sketch referred to in Yacht Rock 4. Does anyone happen to have this lying around or something?

Episode 84, Volume One Disc Three of the DVDs, same episode as the Poocharé All Meat Dog Food commercial and the first Mrs Falbo's Tiny Town.

― milton parker (Jon L), Monday, 27 February 2006 20:44 (twenty years ago)

This is easily one of their best ones.

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Monday, 27 February 2006 23:32 (twenty years ago)

Completely agreed.

Oh wow, fuck me, this one is great!

This made my night.

"You know what FUCK this stop sign."

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 06:55 (twenty years ago)

SO 2004

― team jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 11 March 2006 01:44 (twenty years ago)

But is long haired AMG reviewer in Episode 1 Mr N** R******?

― team jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 11 March 2006 01:47 (twenty years ago)

Def. not.

― regular roundups (Dave M), Saturday, 11 March 2006 01:49 (twenty years ago)

"supposed to be"

― team jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 11 March 2006 01:50 (twenty years ago)

ah. well, aside from being called "hollywood steve huey," which would make me still guess not, i have no clue.

― regular roundups (Dave M), Saturday, 11 March 2006 01:51 (twenty years ago)

Steve Huey != me, but I admit when I first saw him I thought, "Oh Christ, we've created a stereotype!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 11 March 2006 01:57 (twenty years ago)

Wait, is there an actual Steve Huey who reviews for AMG? And does he review mostly yacht stuff?

― regular roundups (Dave M), Saturday, 11 March 2006 01:59 (twenty years ago)

There is an actual Steve Huey.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 11 March 2006 02:00 (twenty years ago)

Searching P2P for "Yacht Rock" yields no music, but a cornucopia of porn.

― Justin, Saturday, 11 March 2006 02:09 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...

The new episode rules! "Fame, Fortune and Fagina..."

Any chance of a tracklisting for episodes 6, 7, 8?

― Ewan, Tuesday, 28 March 2006 21:49 (twenty years ago)

i don't know but Ronan, Golf Raver and Man of Oats, and I were singin along to "Against All Odds" the other night, utterly unironically i might add

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 21:57 (twenty years ago)

NOT YACHT ROCK TRACER

― j blount (papa la bas), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 21:59 (twenty years ago)

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 22:00 (twenty years ago)

that song is pretty awesome though, god if only bonnie tyler had recorded. if only!

― j blount (papa la bas), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 22:02 (twenty years ago)

There needs to be Hollywood Steve calendars for 2007.

― Yoo Doo Nut (donut), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 09:08 (twenty years ago)

January: OH HI! This is Hollywood Steve! You've caught me in my lab force-feeding eye shadow to puppies and kittens!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 09:58 (twenty years ago)

Episode 8 seemed kinda dashed off to me, a letdown after the well-scripted Episode 7.

― erklie (erklie), Thursday, 30 March 2006 00:52 (twenty years ago)

fame, fortune, and fah-gina

"I'm dismayed that the names "Captain" (!) and "Tennille" have gone unmentioned so far."

Not anymore.

― Chairman Doinel (Charles McCain), Thursday, 30 March 2006 01:07 (twenty years ago)

Knowing that JD Ryznar (or an incredible simulacrum) has posted here I feel compelled to point out what a handsome young man he is.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 30 March 2006 01:15 (twenty years ago)

Holy crap, is that Hollywood Steve in a AM/PM commercial talking about lunner/linner? (lunch/dinner)?????
