This thing called 'Ironwood' Tuesday, October 26th 2004 - 11:43:18 AM http://www.eclectica.org/v3n2/ roblee.html Wow. Quite a long read, but a real hilarious and intriguing one. Not your ordinary take on Steely Dan by author Chris Roblee! You'll love it :-) 'Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva. Two seconds of relief in here and there's that music again. Steely Dan playing again. And it's not only in here it plays. I heard it in the office yesterday when I made those copies of the recipe for the garden terrine, the one the Irish Chef is so partial to.

Everything Must Groove Monday, October 25th 2004 - 09:44:12 PM http:// onstagemag.com/ar/performance_everything_groove/ Becker:"The bottom line is that you have to play with a lot of feeling, personality, and soul. Along the way, generally speaking, you have to be well trained, a good reader, and versatile. You have to do lots of different things to play with us. We tend to work with people that we like to be with, too. Sometimes you meet someone who is a great player but that you don't want to see again." FONT>

Faberge-eggs Songs Saturday, October 23rd 2004 - 05:06:49 PM Another band of postmodern sonic architecture and earthly toil has been making such
Faberge-egg songs since the decade that Radiohead feels most suited to, the prog-happy 1970s. Donald Fagen and Walter Becker's Steely Dan is
the ne plus ultra of production perfectionism. Disappearing into the Reagan years' ether after 1980's Gaucho, Fagen and Becker returned with
2000's Two Against Nature sounding like they never left the studio. Still interweaving complex jazzy breaks and riffs into traditional-feeling R&B,
Fagen and Becker rekindled their interest in older guys trying to score with younger -- in some cases too young -- women, and won their first
Grammy.

Not your ordinary stew! Wednesday, October 20th 2004 - 08:51:44 PM Been listening to Cauldron, produced by Walter Becker. It's John Beasley's CD and it's got an impressive line up of fellow-musicians. And it sounds really good, that ain't a surprise, right? This CD is from 1991 and it reeled me back into time. So now i sit here, feeling homesick. I guess i was simply listening from the heart, or from the gut and as soon as the first notes on "Beehave yourself" kick in, it takes the listener by the hand, slowly, it's a joyful warm, CARE FREE and optimistic journey, all the way through the 9 tracks. Hopeful as well, and we could sure need hopeful in these autumn days when elections and politics seem to have the upper hand. Well, the Beas has an upper hand for almost an hour and it's a listening experience that does lift the spirit, truly!

ps Wednesday, October 20th 2004 - 01:55:56 PM As in regard to the 'side effects' of Steely Dan music, i didn't mention the established and known enterprises(i like this word, the Oxford dictionary says: undertaking, esp one that needs courage or that offers difficulty) such as see links above and the others which can be tracked down in the Webring. The Dan Fan Novel was a -ty for sure :-) Ok.

M5 Tuesday, October 19th 2004 - 06:55:27 PM Thank you, Jason, for signing in and giving your permission to use your drawings, even after the fact. I know, i should have asked first, but i was somewhat flabbergasted and taken with the idea of that project. There's Steely Dan tribute or coverbands, there's new bands with material and styles of their own, however influenced by the music of Steely Dan and that's about it when it comes to the 'side effects'. Clas Lundkvist from Sweden painted his impressions of some songs, but yours is an entire collection, it also reads like a comic book and the drawings portray your view of the songs. Therefore very personal and individual. Which is always interesting. So thanks again!

John Beasley in Tokyo, Japan Tuesday, October 19th 2004 - 09:06:10 AM http://stb139.co.jp John Beasley is in Japan at the moment, for a series of gigs in one of the finest venues in Tokyo, the Sweet Basil 139. He works with Carlito Del Puerto (bass), Horacio 'El Negro' Hernandez (drums) and Chie Ayado
This classy, up-market venue stages pop, rock, jazz and classical concerts. The pop and rock artists featured tend to have made their mark in the sixties and seventies. It presents all genres of jazz from smooth jazz to fusion to classical music with the focus on recitals or chamber music. There is formal dinner seating for 270 and standing room for 500. In addition, there is a bar counter and outdoor terrace with seating for 40. The food is excellent.

His guests differ, from Bjork to Duran Duran (yep, they're on tour again) and Madonna, David Bowie. Last night he had Minnie Driver, the actress who's also a singer (she used to sing before she got into acting) as a guest. Happens so, she is the supporting act for the British Tour of the Finn Brothers. Minnie sang one of her songs yesterday and it's folky, bluesy, singer-songwriting easy listening kinda music. She has a warm crispy voice. |

We all have our own little somethings that attracted us in the first place, right? So, these lyrics to Caves of Altamira really had it all, as listeners
we witnessed the realms of an inner world, a flash of past-present-future. A loop in time, in an instant. Yes, i felt they KNEW the universe inside
out without giving it another thought because it all came natural to them .....well, what do we know at age 13, eh? Anyway, i have to write an
article about a museum, build to preserve this Roman bathhouse (see link above) and it dawned on me, again.
Whenever you find something that makes your soul pound beyond the understanding of fact, it must be a treasure to hold onto so in darker days it'll light up and show you the way! CAVES OF ALTAMIRA

angel Sunday, October 3rd 2004 - 03:58:00 PM Hi Stevie!!!!!!!! Yes Gee, I did attend the Sting concert on Wednesday and all in all, my family had a great time. My personal favorite parts were the 2 electronica type songs. "Send Your Love" opened the set and close to the end "Never Coming Home" had a huge stretched out jazz piano going on and on at the end. It was masterful! Obviously, being electronica type tunes, the drumming had Keith working real hard, but hey, he can do it and he did. The weird part was when Sting went to sing the title track, "Sacred Love". He mentioned that the song was about love and Victoria's Secret. Then they break into the song and the background has these models doing stuff behind the band in their Victoria's Secret type clothes. Then this woman comes on stage in her long red dress with slit up to her hips and she provocatively dances all around Sting. Then for the finale, she rips off her skirt and is now in her Victoria's Secret underwear, I assume (I am in the nose bleed section, so we did not have a great view of this). Well the people in front of us must have decided that they had enough, cause they packed their bags and walked out. We had about 2/3rds of the show left. Their loss.

Dumb Luck?! Sunday, October 3rd 2004 - 10:21:30 AM http:// www.thebrilliantmistakes.com/press.htm The Brilliant Mistakes. According to the reviews this band is like a contemporary mixture of Elvis Costello-Joe Jackson-Todd Rundgren and Ben Folds/Steely Dan influences. Let's not forget the Finn Bros, Neil & Tim. So please check the LOOK & LISTEN department and find out for yourself. Check OUR STORY and find out who worked with Donald Fagen ... This is definitely pop with a future!

bla bla boom... Friday, October 1st 2004 - 11:36:13 PM "An Al-Jazeera producer said the tape was "supposedly received today," by usual means, which he refused to discuss." What? Please someone explain to me how this can be. Are we really doing everything we can now, my compatriots, to prevent another terrorist attack? How come we don't give a shit if these people don't want to tell us where they get the tapes? I like me a monthly al-zawahari hi-8 update like the next guy but... isn't it about time we laid off on the beheading webcasts and nab these fuckers?

skyscrapers and angry skies towered above him. Each building had a different animal's snarling head superimposed onto it. At the center of the
cover was a king cobra about to strike at a mongoose on the neighboring edifice."

With a love of hip hop, jazz, soul, funk and a heavy dose of Steely Dan (honestly!) the trio had common influences and were united in their vision to do something new, to make the kind of music they wanted to listen to.'

luckless pedestrian Thursday, September 23rd 2004 - 04:14:03 AM hey in here my stereo's right speaker is on the blink so i havelearned the following: there is the use of a cha-cha beat on deacon blues there is another guitar on black cow that i hadn't noticed before michael mcdonald really is amazing so there's always good things in even busted up situations i also learned that lindsey buckingham has a great voice that i hadn't appreciated - i always listen for his instrumental sound he brings to fleetwood mac oh, i guess i should mention i had a baby - our third - a boy - Gabriel - he had a rough start, and not just the circumcision - but he's okay now - home on maternity leave and hooked back online at home - things have been crazy but all is settling in nicely and we are at the stage of wondering what we did before this baby came along some new people here, maybe i should do a test?

M5 Wednesday, September 22nd 2004 - 09:54:12 AM Until I found this info on the net, I had no clue about what 'Arcturus' stood for. So it was a nice surprise to suddenly read this name for the second time and find out its stellular status. And now I also learned it's Latin for 'northern'. I did think of the Poles some, but thoughts come and go as they please .....

Professor Arcturus Wednesday, September 22nd 2004 - 06:39:15 AM "Among the very brightest of stars, shining with a soft orange light"-- yup, that's me! I am indeed "one of the three luminaries . . ." But what's this about lagging movement? deficient in metals? ceased the fusion of hydrogen in its core? Just what are you saying? Well (sigh), yeah, I do come from an older population of the galaxy . . . But you see I am still magnetically active, and yes indeedy doo, I most definitely have a hard-to-observe "buried corona!"

M5 Tuesday, September 21st 2004 - 01:51:54 PM Ditto, about what's written concerning their relationship and personal lives. It is interesting however, to read his take on the lyrics. Shows there's a million ways for many minds to see-read-understand the stuff they wrote, eh? And this author's story is one of many. Not everyone has a way with words. I often come across internetpages where people simply mention Steely Dan's music as a reference or argument in conversations/discussions. Without being eloquent about it. But one gets the drift.
|
.....
|
Professor Arcturus Tuesday, September 21st 2004 - 08:11:06 AM Fascinating book excerpt, with quite insightful interpretations of lyrics, but with so many bizarre and questionable conclusions regarding D and W's personal lives and relationships that I laughed throughout. Which is a segue to my point that Wadhams apparently hasn't read in SD interviews how D & W would routinely crack up with mirth while writing their lyrics; in one interview Fagen even stated that SD records were "comedy albums!" A good thing to keep in mind before attempting to attach "autobiographical confessions" to the words . . .

angel Monday, September 20th 2004 - 07:28:39 PM Interesting article. Too bad the guy can't get Dan history right. I like his insite into Kid Charlemagne. lyrically vs. musically. Running with this authors suppositions, The reason this tune works so well on tour (as the one to kick the concert into overdrive) is the fact that the music is like the drug that Kid C was making in the song. We must have that next fix....

Jimi Hendrix in Stockholm Sunday, September 19th 2004 - 09:30:38 AM http://svt.se/svt/jsp/ Crosslink.jsp?d=1815&a=257130 In the SVT-studio in Stockholm, technicians found a long lost tape with television recordings of the Jimi Hendrix Experience concert 1969. The network only broadcasted a few minutes back then and they assumed the rest of the tape had been destroyed or erased. 56 minutes of an authentic Jimi Hendrix concert in black & white will now perhaps be shown on TV. The network is looking into their options to broadcast this visual antiquity in the history of legendary musicians.
