if they think "dirty work" is good then wait until they hear literally any of their other songs

One thing everyone on this site can agree on is that instead of listening to the new Taylor Swift album people should listen to real music like Steely Dan

excellent! I think I like this better

he didn't add much instrumentation but I think AI was used a fair amount. it just sounds too clean and trebly, and the vocals are thin

nothing against Caplin and the work he put in but I still prefer the un-tampered-with version from Cimcie’s tape

youtube has most of them I think, the Steely Dan Reader website has a huge archive as well (but mostly written)

forgot that stephen colbert lowkey dropped one of the most egregious misreadings of a steely dan-verse song ever

I’ve been dipping in and out of this playlist by @baddantakes.bsky.social since the holidays (it’s not actually 🎄-related) and my god it’s astounding. Discovering so much, including 1 LP I’ve already scheduled for #MWE this month. If you love the Dan/adjacent, you owe this to yourself.

"Slang of Ages" is way better than anything on Circus Money, i guess he really needed Donald's help at that point

baddantakes @baddantakes.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

something like first 5 are an A+, next 5 are an A, the rest an A- (except for Circus Money which I still don't fully know what to make of)

all the "punk formed as a reaction to Steely Dan" people don't realize it was actually the other way around
