Needles & Grooves

(turns up volume knob in car) listen to the production on that

While I can enjoy a good Dire Straits recording, I love Steely Dan. Sit back with a nice set of headphones and enjoy the record.

Nothing wrong with Dire Straits. Everything right with Steely Dan. @jamieanderson1968 speaks words of truth

I listened to Aja for the first time last month. It’s...funkier(!?)...than I expected it to be!

Two bands that deserve all the adoration they get. Especially Steely Dan.

Dire Straits best record is Love Over Gold. The rest are alright. Steely Dan could do no wrong...well except most of their first record. All of their records, except Aja and Gaucho, need to be reissued, pronto!

My favorite thing about Aja was catching the De La Soul sample in the wild, and then my second favorite thing was absolutely everything else about it (mf-ing WAYNE SHORTER is on this????)

Dire Straits is basically what I wish Bob Dylan had sounded like in the same time period he was operating

Aja is a perfect song. So are Bad Sneakers, Any Major Dude Will Tell You, My Old School, etc, etc....

These are timeless bands...........spin away and enjoy as yourself

Kid Charlemange is the best name for a band - Pitchfork did an overview of Steely Dan last week, reviewing Thrill, Royal Scam, Aja, Gaucho and Katy Lied. Great stuff

Steely Dan is also an example, though not the only, of a band that appreciated the craft of the studio and using it as an instrument and not just the craft of songwriting.

Are you sticking one hand down the front of your pants when lounging around? If so, then yes.
