Steely Dan

[Sparers]

I think it was on here years ago that someone (possibly Louis Barfe) linked to the instrumental version of Green Earrings with the long, long outro.  Never get tired of that.

This might be for Dan completists only, but Fagen has collaborated on a track called Tin Foil Hat on Todd Rundgren's upcoming new album.

Full track is now up

It's okay, nothing brilliant, like an unpolished demo for a Fagen solo album. I doubt Trump will ever get to hear it, but I like the "tweeting like a teenage girl" line.

On a vaguely related note, here's a Japanese album that sounds remarkably similar to late-period Steely Dan:

Makoto Matsushita - First Light

[Mini]

Steely Dan are playing the O2 Arena on 29 October! I think it's sold out now though. I tried to tell you sooner but the forum was down. Those hackers must hate jazz-rock or something.

I'm fucking going, got a ticket. Stoked

I wanted to go but I forgot when it went on sale. It'd be full of people like my dad though. Seeing as Steely Dan is just very good session musicians, I'll make do with Nearly Dan for now.

That's where I saw them last (about 3 years ago IIRC).

Audience was about 80% dads in Hot Tuna fleeces, 10% ageing rap hipsters, 10% Lionel Richie lookalikes who had done their jheri curls especially.
