RIP the legend Anthony Jackson
his work on "Glamour Profession" and "I.G.Y." is some of my favorite bass playing ever

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

very Dan-jacent, even the vocal is Fagen-esque

70's Donald fagen - hates touring, hates his voice, doesn't want to be lead singer, has stage fright

I would like to reiterate that I love @baddantakes.bsky.social Steely Dan podcast, Gaucho Amigos. And this episode with Bernard Purdie is extra entertaining. Get in there if ya haven’t!

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.
