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
Two Against Nature Donald:
excellent! I think I like this better

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.
