What a drag. Most of the past 24 hours of my life have been spent dealing with a fishbone. Let me explain. A couple of weeks back my good buddy Darren who's the promotion and marketing wizard at Q-107 invited me to see Steely Dan at Massey Hall. We would see their presentation of "The Royal Scam" but before hand we go somewhere for dinner and catch up on a few things. We ended up at a little...

"When Black Friday comes I'll stand down by the door And catch the grey men when they Dive from the fourteenth floor" -- Steely Dan, "Black Friday" If you're not an American reader, today is Black Friday - the day after Thanksgiving.

I'll be safely at home, not even pondering entering that terrifying frenzy and fray of commercial madness and vehicular hell. No thanks, no way, no how. However, in honor of the day, a little Steely Dan: Is it me, or does Donald Fagen increasingly look like some sort of keyboard vampire? Happy Turkey Day, friends, wherever you are. And seriously, stay home on Friday. Let the nut patrol unleash hell...

I wanted to sound funny and quotable, but I was preoccupied with drawing a cartoon on the board for the up-coming class, and I ended up sounding flip and tangential-- the other teacher who was...

From 1974, and their incomparable Pretzel Logic album, please enjoy Steely Dan and perhaps the best and most straightforwardly pop thing they ever did (certainly, it remains my favorite of their singles). By which I mean the haunting "Rikki Don't Lose That Number." And now from 1964, please enjoy the jazz original from which Messrs. Becker and Fagen -- lifted? appropriated? stole? -- their...
