Yacht Rock makes the NY Observer

On the strength of the series, “yacht rock” is now a legitimate subgenre of music criticism—it already has its own Wikipedia entry--

And sadly, it's no longer tagged for deletion on the basis of being a neologism

PappaWheelie, Olives, Red Wine, Coffee, Scotch, and Me (PappaWheelie 2), Monday, 28 August 2006 15:03 (seventeen years ago) link

why is that sad? pretty much every musical term in common use started out as a neologism.

i'm certainly not going to get into a debate about what consitutes revisionist history and what doesn't, so fire away as much as you like - but this yacht rock thing will reamin a somewhat silent pet peeve of mine.

PappaWheelie, Olives, Red Wine, Coffee, Scotch, and Me (PappaWheelie 2), Monday, 28 August 2006 20:16 (seventeen years ago) link

well, the term "Nuggets" didn't come around till 1972, and I doubt anyone was calling it "garage rock" till after its heyday either. "doo-wop" was another after-the-fact characterization. rock's full of them. I can sort of see your point, but I think the fact that term has caught on the way it has mostly means it applies really well.

Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Monday, 28 August 2006 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

So I read somewhere possible episode 11 scheduled for around September 10...

Orgy of Pragmatism (Charles McCain), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 18:02 (seventeen years ago) link

yacht rock rules...and what exactly is wrong wtih revisionist history? History is always being revised based on new facts coming to the surface. I cant stand this knee-jerk half-wit intellectuals who glob onto a phrase like 'revisionist history' or 'slippery slope' or 'where's the beef' and inject them into every conversation trying to sound intellectually sound, when in fact they are just repeating the propaganda garbage being spouted by the pundits and puppets...

Paul Edward Wagemann (PaulEdwardWagemann), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 19:14 (seventeen years ago) link

"this pretentious ponderous collection of posts is enough to prompt the question, 'what day did the Lord create paul edward wagemann, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?'"

they had an event at the knitting factory nyc tonight; maybe it premiered there? the event listing is pretty ambiguous as to whether there is actually an episode 11 though

Nick Minichino, Friday, 28 December 2007 08:12 (sixteen years ago) link

They should make more. Seems like there's we're definitely an audience for this.

Nothing on the website yet.
Anyone catch Ryznar and Hollywood Steve on VH1's 100 greatest songs of the 90s?

I was thinking about to go to NYC for that party tonight but, eh. I do hope they put up a new episode though.

hollywood steve lost a lot of weight

"mellow, but not smooth" is definitely the breakout quote

i now have a yacht rock edit of i can't go for that by hall and oates track on constant loop.

mark e, Friday, 27 February 2009 09:38 (fifteen years ago) link

Mark,
please share it!

kaiser, Friday, 27 February 2009 09:52 (fifteen years ago) link

i already have, but as blog-plugs are frowned upon, here it is.

mark e, Friday, 27 February 2009 09:57 (fifteen years ago) link

cheers Mark!

here's another one.

less yacht but always disco!

kaiser, Friday, 27 February 2009 10:05 (fifteen years ago) link

not really sure that edit adds anything to the original (get the 12" extended mix for some extra smooth pleasure).

baaderonixx, Friday, 27 February 2009 10:36 (fifteen years ago) link

just draws it out a little really.
hit the spot on a sunny frday morning, much to my surprise.
also, didn't think/hoped i'd see the "yacht rock" term being used again.

Yach Rock re-revival is the new thing for 2009

baaderonixx, Friday, 27 February 2009 11:14 (fifteen years ago) link

For this buzz about yacht rock we need to say thanks to Johnno Burgess and his podcast on RA.

An ex-girlfriend of mine used to refer to taking a shit as "doing a Kenny Loggins." You know, sometimes you look back on life and rue the ones that got away...

Just discovered this series, which is brilliant (and the music is also good as long as it's in the 70s. AOR is one musical genre that got considerably worse in the 80s than in the 70s). Sadly no more episodes, unless the ghost of Hollywood Steve turns up with some story about the comebacks of Steely Dan and The Eagles in the 00s (the rest of the series' main acts haven't had hits for over 20 years).
