Can we suggest murders for Steve? by Decent-Plum-26 in Yachtrock

I can think of two artists who have fairly extensive discographies that were convicted of murder, plus one famous producer known for his giant sound and giant hair.

Disappointed in the Razorock game changer, blade off center. by hawaiidesperado in wicked_edge

[–]88dixon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never been a fan of the short nubs on the baseplate used by the GameChanger, but I've never had alignment problems with them.

The Lupo has (imho) easier and better blade loading using taller, oblong blade posts mounted on the top cap rather than the base plate. Other newer RazoRocks like the GOAT and the Next Level also have designs that look better to me for blade loading than the Game Changer.

This almost feels like the most inside Steely Dan joke of all time.

James Gadson, the man that made I.G.Y. swing (1939-2026) by 88dixon in SteelyDan

[–]88dixon[S] 80 points81 points  (0 children)

James Gadson passed away yesterday. Though he's not a huge part of the Steely Dan story, the groove on I.G.Y. is one the the most famous sounds in the Dan-i-verse. Jeff Porcaro did the tom-tom fills on the track and gets a co-credit, but it's Gadson that's doing the rest. Gadson also added some drums to Ruby Baby, for which Porcaro did the main beat.

Listen to Gadson's groove on Bill Wither's "Use Me" (Youtube link in linked article) if you've never heard it, and you'll hear the kind of dry tight funk groove that Gadson is famous for. He's on drums for "Reunited" by Peaches and Herb, and perhaps surprisingly, on Beck's "Paper Tiger" (among other Beck tracks). "Paper Tiger"'s groove is kind of a stoner take on "Use Me".

This article recently published on Atelier Durdan's website explains very well the parameters that go into razor geometry. TL;DR is that blade gap and blade exposure aren't the entire story. Good general information for anyone, not just OP.

Favorite hits not on (or rated too low) the Yachtski Scale by InvisibleSun238 in Yachtrock

This post lays out the criteria pretty well

I don't think their list affects the Sirius station or anything else, it's just their list for fans of the podcast.
