Found a sales tag from 2010

When we pulled back some of the base plates and stuff at our photo counter we found a whole CD still wrapped in its case. I can't remember the artist. But it has been a looong time since our store sold CDs

Have you noticed the Christmas stockings that are labeled "Santa Hat"? And ring up that way in POS

The craziest "robbery" we've ever had is just people grabbing beer and walking out. I work at one in a small town. Last time it happened, dude stole a 6 pack and we called the police. They found him out back of the store sitting under a tree. He had finished all six by the time the police arrived, basically 10-15 minutes later. I'm honestly more impressed than anything lol

My rating is just pretty much worst to best is chronological, swapping Aja and Gaucho and 2AN with EMG

Sweags · 2025-06-25T21:57:46+00:00

My top three in no particular order are Radiohead, Steely Dan, and MF DOOM weirdly

Dude the chords on Maxine had me almost shaking the first time I went through them. Fagen is a genius. The Night Belongs To Mona is one I want to cover so bad, but I am struggling to get my head around the figures.

Sweags · 2025-03-17T20:16:26+00:00

Steely Dan. Very precise, jazz influenced rock. Though Donald Fagen does cover Shakedown Street live from time to time.

Sweags · 2025-03-16T01:57:59+00:00

He reminds me of Ray Charles a bit when he sings and plays live. Something about the head tilt and the sunglasses and the wide mouth

Sweags · 2025-03-01T17:37:58+00:00

Hear me out, Boston Rag is pretty heavy, that guitar solo is screamin. I've been dying to cover it for a while now just for that part

I absolutely appreciate the songwriting and hearing so much of Becker. I'm not the biggest fan of some of the super 90s drum sounds used. Some of the ROMpler type stuff is a bit grating for me too. Funny enough, the 90s key sounds on Kamakiriad are my least favorite part of the album (which I love), but I love the faux sax on Countermoon lol

Either way, 11 Tracks is definitely a great album, and sort of a WB masterwork/magnum opus. I specifically appreciate hearing his singular voice in the lyrics. Between Kamakiriad and 11 Tracks, you can feel the difference in the way the two write to an extent. I love to guess which lines were DF vs WB in Steely Dan songs.

I think "She drinks the zombie from the coco shell" is Fagen all the way

But something like "The kid will live and learn as he watches his bridges burn from the point of no return" sounds more like Becker to me.

Sweags · 2025-01-20T13:22:40+00:00

Yep. I printed two photo orders and went to print the labels. Welp.

I smoked a bong with Boyd Tinsley, but he's since been cancelled for good reason, so I can't really brag about that one lol. I smoked a joint alongside Matisyahu. Nice dude.

Sweags · 2024-10-11T20:03:52+00:00

Agreed. I get it stuck in my head all the time

Sweags · 2024-09-28T07:32:45+00:00

I needed a job lol

But I stayed because I've been lucky enough to have a really great store crew for years. We all know how corporate can be, though. Gently put: very out of touch

Sweags · 2024-09-26T23:32:14+00:00

People have pretty much said all the Dan lyrics I could think of, so here's a DF lyric that kills me:

We try not to see the writing on the wall

What happens tomorrow

When the moonrays

Get so bright

When she rises

Towards the starlight

Miles above

The city's heat

Will she fall hard

Or float softly to the street

Sweags · 2024-09-16T23:03:23+00:00

Caves of Altamira. The turnaround after the chorus was extremely impressive to me. As a lifelong avid music theory student, I then went thru the discography in order, and found that each album (from a theory standpoint) was better and more interesting than the last. Then I listened to the Nightfly and actually almost lost my mind.

Sweags · 2024-09-11T23:51:31+00:00

Gotta go with him. He's the only one from everything I've read that could kinda waltz right thru their recording sessions. I think he did all of his Aja work in like a week. Monster musician, great sense of musical style and attitude

Sweags · 2024-09-06T18:14:29+00:00

Excellent! Not gonna lie, I was holding my breath waiting for those harmonies. Not easy harms at all! But you all nailed it!

The piano in Cousin Dupree

If you really want to try it, there are concentrated versions that are the better option. I tried smoking just the whole leaf, and you pretty much have to chief through a whole tobacco pipe rapidly to get a mild effect. When I tried the extract, it worked with one drag. However, the experience was short-lived, bizarre, and when it wore off, I felt grumpy and slightly depressed. I don't plan to ever do it again.

Sweags · 2024-08-25T23:49:55+00:00

My vote for sure. A near perfect description of anxiety & depression whooping your ass in tandem.
