I like a good LOLcat just as much as the next guy (unless the next guy happens to be Alex, who is not amused), but I’ve never given it quite as much thought as Jay Dixit has, as he makes apparent in “I Can Has Cheezburger … and Pathos'” Obama’s doing fireside chats on [...]

My free music posts have been generally well-received, so here’s another. First, if you don’t know, the new Guns N’ Roses album is now streaming on MySpace. I shall listen while writing this post. [UPDATE: it sounds like Guns N’ Roses.] Right. Other free stuff. If you don’t know, Stereogum is a great source for music [...]

There are a million things to love about "Life on Mars," starting with Michael Imperioli's 'stache 'n burns combo. Among other things, we're partial to the period music each episode contains that really heighten the mood. And we're happy to...

LOS ANGELES, CA - This is an unbelievable deconstruction of a hit song ("Peg" by Steely Dan) played by the world's greatest session musicians in the 1970's. These players knew they were great, too. Big budget record. High expectations. Lots...

Sometimes this "Internet" serves up a surprise. We have via Google an automated search going for - amongst other things - " Steely Dan ". That means we get an alert whenever Steely Dan is mentioned. Today, thanks to founding Steely Dan member Jeff "Skunk" Baxter , we got a link to the blog written by Staci Layne Wilson . (Both Jeff and Staci pictured to the left) . She's the daughter of Don Wilson...

Read this:For the English alone, but more for the mordant and devastatingly witty depiction of the impotency of self in history and the writer's soul in purgatory. The best post-911 novel I've read since Powers' Echo Maker. The ending is...

If you're looking for the sleek studio-quality Steely Dan you remember from the 1970's and 80's, you'd be better off buying the iTunes Essential Steely Dan collection for $44.55 than spending $83 for one of the remaining upper balcony seats for tonight's concert at the Wellmont . Listening to the familiar songs in the meticulously-restored 1922 venue, beautiful as it is, is a little like listening...

and to paraphrase Donald Fagan of the legendary jazz/rock/fusion band Steely Dan, that's bad news. And so it has been this year in California. Over the warm, windy weekend, which I felt up in northern Sonoma County, fires erupted in Southern California affecting tens of thousands of people and destroying about 900 homes so far. Fortunately, [...]

This Onion piece, "Donald Fagen Defends Steely Dan to Friends", doesn't fully hit the mark, but is still funny. Longtime readers may know that until I started going out with John, I didn't like Steely Dan, even thinking they were...

When we started Radio Dupree a little more than five years ago we had two artists that we said would always be on the playlist; Frank Zappa and Steely Dan . And those two also played an important part in the name we picked for the station. Our weekend music this time around is a Steely Dan cover by the one-man group Archangel from west London. His name is Nick Webber and here's a couple of quotes from...

NEW YORK—"Do you know how many guitar players tried and failed to nail the solo on the song 'Peg'? Six—That's commitment to a vision if you ask me," Fagen said.
