    Steely Dan - Gaucho (1980)

    Great BBC4 documentary on yacht rock recently. Katie Puttrick is a brilliant presenter and it's very entertaining. Lots of Dan discussion. Worth tracking down if you are into it.

    Steely Dan - Gaucho (1980)

    So any of the rest of my fellow nephew corrupting ageing frustrated virgins with schoolgirl fantasies going to see them later this month? I didn't even bother looking up the ticket prices this time around but the resurrection of this thread has got me thinking that I should go ... could be the...

    Steely Dan - Gaucho (1980)

    True but both bands are total musos. With Queen it's mostly annoying (for me anyway). With Steely Dan, it's forgivable. Actually it's essential - they couldn't really be any other way. Having said that, I tend to prefer the records where they sound like a live band as opposed to the meticulous...

    Steely Dan - Gaucho (1980)

    No, it's not their best by any means. But still great. I've never really listened to any of the later ones but Fagen's solo album The Nightfly is excellent to. But really.. If you don't enjoy the song My Old School.... Something amiss there. The Dan >> Queen. Obviously.

    95 quid or something like that. No thanks.

    Not quite sure if you are serious but I'd be well on for this were it not for the fact I've just realised I have tickets for LH screening of Mulholland Drive on Wed night. Alas, it will have to be some other time :-(

    Lads. Just spotted this. It's Wednesday of next week. TAC night out? Who's in? Cornu? Lili Marlene?

    Steely Dan - Gaucho (1980)

    I think so. But they are sneering at themselves. Or at what people assume is themselves but is actually just a fake version of themselves constructed as an object to direct their sneeriness at. I might have a point here but probably not. It's late and I'm drunk. To be honest, I mostly just like...

    Hang on a minute. There's something wrong with Ween now too? Wait until Anthony hears this...

    They are a funny pair of fuckers too though I imagine this will just make the haters hate them even more. https://www.steelydan.com/heywes.html

    Stop sitting on the goddamn fence Cornu and tell us what you really think of it.

    Steely Dan - Gaucho (1980)

    Great record but, while it is the Steely Dan album I know best because I listened to it endlessly at one time (older brother's copy), it's not my favourite of theirs. The clinical precision of it leaves me a bit cold sometimes. I prefer them when they were (or at least gave the impression of...
