This piece. I cannot say enough good things about it. Elisa from Magik Markers goes all in, and throws Steely Dan under the bus in the process. Shout out Jeremy Larson for his great work on this: If I were from another planet and someone presented music to me as defined and explicated by the documentary on Steely Dan, I would be pretty sure I hated music. It just was the worst. I mean, I guess as a performance piece if you were like, “Oh these are performance artists named Steely Dan, they’re like Christo, check them out,” then it would be interesting as a project. But as musical expression, I was like “Why don’t they go into investment banking or actuarial business?” They’re the worst. Don’t do music anymore. It’s bad, bad what you do...Steely Dan is like the platypus of [musical] evolution. Mistakes were made, this was not where it was supposed to ever go. The platypus is fine, he’s out there, they’re cute, they have their moments. Just like Steely Dan.
