MUSIC: the official thread.

I think he might actually be a little downy.

 

Maybe his grandfather on his mom's side was Downs?

 

Definitely some downy heritage in there

Brother Clogg, you might to be enjoying this. The sound is ghastly, just to warn you, it must have come off an old vhs.

Thanks for that... Very enjoyable... Little bit pretentious, of course, but the footage was really cool especially the Cannonball Adderly, Duke and Sly footage which I had never seen before...

Morrissey is the fucking PITS

 

I feel like Morrissey would have clean, fragrant pits and Steely Dan's would smell like matting and hemp.

 

I feel like Steely Dan are interested in humor and girls and Morrissey is into dicks and morosity

 

Call it childish, but this had me in tears

Acerbic maybe, self absorbed definitely but not morose. NOT MOROSE!

I feel like Steely Dan would drive a pick up truck across state lines for fun and play acoustic guitar under a cactus.

 

:tick:I feel like you have no idea what a well-educated Greater Metro Jewish guy is like::

 

Silly

 

I definitely feel like he likes Cacti and a well painted barn.

 

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker likely have as much interest in Cacti and barns as Woody Allen does. Full stop.

 

Can you prove he doesn't like cacti? If not what gives you the right to belittle my feelings?

 

As a denizen of the greater Metro area and the child, grandchild and great-grandchild of New Yorkers, I can say with 100% forthright conviction that Steely Dan are unlikely to be interested in Cacti or Barns and have likely never willingly been in the vacinity of either... I can also say that Steely Dan are infinitely more "urban" than Morrissey

 

SLAP YOUR CHINCHILLA UNTIL IT SUBMITS

Co-founders Donald Fagen and Walter Becker met in 1967 while attending Bard College in upstate New York. After serving as touring musicians with Jay and the Americans and trying their hand as staff songwriters, they formed Steely Dan in Los Angeles as an outlet for a growing backlog of offbeat, original material that no one else seemed inclined to record…...On record, the duo recruited the cream of L.A.’s jazz-pop studio scene, including Michael McDonald, Victor Feldman, Jeff Porcaro, David Paich, and jazz stalwarts like David Sanborn, Tom Scott, Michael Brecker, Larry Carlton, Chuck Rainey, Bernard Purdie, Phil Woods and Wayne Shorter….

:mj:

Cacti all over the shop. Long drives and sunsets and CACTI!

 

LMAO... they went there because they were hired as songwriters for ABC records which was based in... DING-DING! Los Angeles

They are utterly quintessential New Yorkers to the core... Everything about them, their references, their speech, their attitudes absolutely SCREAM New York... Numerous songs in their catalogue are dedicated to bashing the LA they found themselves in

 

CACTUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hut is in for a rude awakening when he visits DA CAPITAL OF DA WOILD and finds that more people act like Donald Fagen, LL Cool J, Bill Burr, Me, John Leguizamo, Hanzy's relative Prakash, Harvey Keitel and Woody Allen than they do Morrissey or David Byrne:fightme:

Most of the people who act like the latter come from suburbs and move to NYC to go to art school

 

Erm. No idea what you're talking about now of course most people dont act like The Byrne.

In any case.... CACTUS!

 

My surname is Byrne

 

Tis a fine name, you should be proud. Change your first name to David.

 

I'm naming my first child Third Degree
