POX: Steely Dan

I just found out they're playing the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City this coming August! Quote from a friend, summing up precisely why I wanna go: "I intend to get a room and stay over, in the hopes that I'll catch Walt & Don at 4 AM at the roulette wheel blowing their night's receipts, a hooker on each arm."

Doctor Wu ("all night long we would sing that stupid song" = "that stupid song" is according to Don/Walt "Visions of Johanna," and it makes me smile that my favorite song obliquely references my other favorite song)

Rose Darling (clandestine lust, huge voluptuous chords; I love the whole thing except the second half of the chorus, which sounds like it belongs in a different song)

Gaucho (I always heard "the studs that match your eyes" as "the stars," and the correct lyric doesn't disprove the gay subtext I imagined this song had -- just changes the nature of it a little. Images of romantic infatuation --> images of rough-sex leatherboy roleplaying.)

Aja ("people never stare/they just don't care") (why? aloof permissiveness or nonplussed disinterest?)

Home at Last (most people who love Aja only ever mention the hits, and there are only like seven songs on the album so it's hard not to, but "Home at Last" is a sexy intrepid high-seas adventure! "Home at Last" is the emotional high note before the last round of commercials; "I Got the News" and "Josie" are the "joking around the kitchen table the morning after"/"cut to hilarious freeze-frame" wind-down moments.)

Kid Charlemagne (tho I prefer The Royal Scam's snazzy "get - ay - LONG" to the more pedestrian "geddalong" the backup singers have employed in recent live/filmed performances)

The Caves of Altamira (ladies and gentlemen, the mu chord)

Your Gold Teeth (a slight edge over "Your Gold Teeth II" cuz I'm feeling a little sinister this morning)

Soul Ram
Sun Mountain (these are old Don/Walt pre-Dan recordings; moodwise, "Soul Ram" is kinda the "Your Gold Teeth" to "Sun Mountain"'s "Your Gold Teeth II")

MR. Steely Dan.

1. Live "Bodhisattva" I have on flip side of "Time Out of Mind" single. Greatest band intro ever--little pretty thing.
2. "Josie." Heard this outdoors at the Fremon St. mall in Las Vegas last month, cool ominous intro.
3. "My Old School." Dig the horns.
4. "Kid Charlemagne." Did Owsley ever hear it?
5. "Bad Sneakers." The pause after "Radio City with a..."
6. "Parker's Band."
7. "Turn That Heartbeat Over Again."
8. "Rikki Don't Lose That Number." Horace Silver=great AM single.
9. "Dr. Wu."
10. "Pretzel Logic."

Yep, when you add that extra note in there--and voice it as a wholetone and not as a ninth, it sho sound fat.

I don't know that I can do a proper POX, since I've only heard Katy Lied, Gaucho, and Decade of... -- but to the previous lists I'd add "Peg." Great song.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 14:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Can't believe I forgot "Deacon Blue." I think there's a law in Alabama that radio stations have to play that and "Sweet Home Alabama" at least once a day.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 9 April 2003 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Am I the only one who finds "Deacon Blues" a bit tedious?

(Alabama's got a nice little crop of state songs, though -- "Stars Fell on Alabama" is now the motto on their license plates.)

I'm okay with hearing 'Black Water' about once every couple years. So not quite as much, but yes.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't listen to them very much any more--Sharon has this cassette (!) boxed set, "Citizen" I think it is. I still own old LPs I inherited--the first one and "Pretzel" both w/ gatefolds, so that's cool. I went thru a phase where I regarded them as joyless and oppressive. But all in all, a pretty damn good balance of craft and actually having something to say--I dunno, I always put them in the same category as Roxy Music somehow, nice glossy weird post-rock before post-rock? Plus as Manzanera, I believe, once said, every song does have a great guitar solo...

I plan to go out and buy "Countdown to Ecstasy" on CD sometime--feel I should own that one.

"Jodhissatva"--that's good.

6. "Parker's Band."

Trivia time. Track down an old Charlie Parker number called "Bongo Beep"; the melody's the same as that little throwaway figure at the end of "Parker's Band." I was listening to one of those Dial Sessions comps at someone's house a few years ago and when "Bongo Beep" came on I was floored.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:15 (twenty-two years ago)

and the 'Peg' solo. slidey at the begining then that SCREECH note and those harsh descending things, then there's those lazy bends at the end. I like the outro solo of 'Green Earrings' too with the phasing, 'Rikki''s got a good one as well. I love the "I dunno" bit in 'Rikki'. Like it sounds like "I DO know and you know I know, and I know that you know..." etc, "so, like, give it up". To quote the anti-Dan, "we're addressing the realpolitik". Like that AMG track that goes "Is this gonna hurt? Well, maybe"

― dave q, Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I know where Rikki's house is. And also where Gamma Chi was.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

"Bongo Beep." I don't have that Parker cut anywhere.

You mean the bit at the very end of the song?

Bridge to "Parker's" is really hard to play right.

― Jess Hill (jesshill), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I know where Rikki's house is. And also where Gamma Chi was.

And obv you know where "Annandale" is!

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone who went to the College of William and Mary ("oh no, William and Mary won't do") reminded me about the school's proximity to Annandale, VA. I'd always assumed they were talking about Annandale-on-Hudson, NY (where Bard College is).

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Do they know Lonnie, and do they let him anywhere near their stash?

― dave q, Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

well the story I heard from Dick Wiles (retired Economics professor and Hudson Valley Historian) was that the Annandale was a reference to a boarding school in Virginia that Walter Becker attended pre-Bard. According to him, the Wolverine was a train that went to D.C. They put the "up to Annandale" in the song to confuse people. They did that all the time with other stuff, too: Gamma Chi was a frat at Bard up to the 1930s, frats were banned long before Becker/Fagen got there.

Also, Barrytown is just south of Annandale off River Road. The late Fluxus poet/playwright/publisher Dick Higgins lived there (and was landlord to some friends of mine).

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

When I went to W&M everyone claimed that song as ours, not Bard's.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah see Yanc3y I don't think it belongs to either. Isn't Annandale, VA closer to DC than Williamsburg, tho? My Virginia geography knowledge is failing me, but I seem to think it's a suburb, unlike Williamsburg?

― hstencil, Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Annandale, VA is just inside the DC beltway at about 7 o'clock

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:45 (twenty-two years ago)

#15 - the opening of "The Boston Rag" (reminds me of those early E Street Band records -- urbane stoner prog w/ big Leonard Bernstein melodrama and R&B flourishes)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Annandale is about 2 hours from Williamsburg. I agree that it's probably not really about either, but that didn't stop annoying fucks at W&M from claiming them. (as if shitloads of Presidents and Seven Mary Three weren't enough to build our rep off of!)

BTW JBR, I always thought 'Gaucho' was totally a gay-themed song - "bodacious cowboys such as your friend will never be welcome here" etc - I imagine that line being sung by the rich older male lover of a young and feckless hottie twink

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

heh well neither of them went to W&M, so I'm not sure how they could really be claimed by y'all. Not that that's much credit to Bard: Becker didn't graduate, and Fagen apparently doesn't donate any money.

Can you guys think of *any* modern analogue to Steely Dan? My roommate and I were just talking about this: what would it even mean for a band to resemble the Dan nowadays? Would it even be possible? Don't people ever get tired of unquestioningly valuing amateurism and non-technique?
Phoenix is approaching this, imo. I really get an updated Steely Dan vibe from them.

Haha me too! Scar across face/hearing aid! Yet I had to leave it out of my POX for fear of underrepresenting the other LPs. Basically Gaucho ties with Marquee Moon, Hex Enduction Hour, Bringing It All Back Home and Golden Age of Wireless for all-time feature-length dizzying lyrical imagination.
