As a founding member of The Dan, I say though square we may be, squared is what we are. Our brand of jazz-rock-fusion-core is crucial to the 31-59 age demographic. Every year thousands of new danfans give in to the jazzgasms we provide. If you dont like jazzgasms then we dont want you at our squarefair. Simple as that.

!

i'm just now entertaining the possibility that that is the ACTUAL donald fagen

lol

<3

hope so

haha i'm 90 percent sure i know who "donald fagan" is

lololol

This is the kind of internet posturing that we, Steely Dan, appreciate the most of our fans. This dedicated sense of giving a shit proves that we, Steely Dan, matter in this come and go world we call Earth. In 1972 Walter Becker and I wrote a song called Do It Again and let me tell you Steely Dan is indeed Doing It Again.

Damn, the comments on that Dan review are merciless and well-deserved.

This whole site.

Was waiting for that to appear.

"Meanwhile, Taylor Swift has set a Billboard Hot 100 record by debuting five songs from her Platinum Edition re-release of Fearless in the Top 30, led by "Jump Then Fall" at #10. Interrupt that, Kanye West."

Wow, Kanye got told.

That reads like copy from "The 10" on E!

This whole site.

that deserves to be called "writing" as much as the words on the back of a packet of toilet cleaner

Little can top Duff McKagan at the Seattle Weekly.

Now before one sez consider the source, think about mental gymnastic practiced every week by editors and copy editors allowing him into print. That's actually worse than the finished product.

in the grand scheme of things, this is not the worst article ever. sportswriters writing about music is almost always gold though

paul shirley on espn.com is great for this too

Wow.

Come back, Masonic Boom, all is forgiven

I'm gonna go donate $250 to the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls just for accidentally giving that article traffic.

was hoping the byline on that would be Ted Mosby

“This is it!” I thought. “Music that roars with ancient beauty in the electricity age!” Was this a new work by a Montreal band with a knack for avant garde orchestral exploration?

Sportswriting about music is like ice dancing about architecture?

Pfunkboy I think that article's pretty great!

I would have nixed the "Ain't it?" but possibly not much more

He is the worst writer in the world today. He's routinely mocked on the rolling metal threads (and most other metal boards)

i dont know shit about metal but the guy seems like a p good writer

He's used to write for Stylus: http://thestylusdecade.com/apocalypsesky.html

*He

Oh, the guy who has that belief that all Mastodon fans are like, secret Widespread Panic fans or something.

He also used to write for Dusted.

I love Stew's style (he reminds me of dave q), I just don't know wtf he's writing about 75% of the time. It's probably better that way.

I read something by him occasionally and it just reminds me why I try not to read music criticism at all.

I dont think he knows what he's on about either
xp

Could never work out how to pronounce this guy's surname

I say it as vote-lin in my head.

It's pronounced as asshole.

Yeah Bertie Vogts the football manager is pronounced Bertie Votes so I go from there

pfunk: is your primary problem with him that he's a bad writer, or just that he slags off things you like?

I assumed there was more of a "vert" thing because of the oe

I liked his Stylus Decade thing and dude is evidently a very adept writer but his would-be challoping is really tiresome to read

Yeah I'm gonna say it Vertlin

If I ever have cause to say it out loud for the first time
