This time, we tackle the solo works of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen (aka Steely Dan), and to do that, I brought on someone new to talk about them, Mr. Andy Schaal.Andy and me discussed Fagen's The NIghtfly, Kamakiriad, Morph The Cat, and Sunken Condos, as well as Becker's 11 Tracks Of Whack and Circus Money.  A lot of fun was had as we discussed the musical and lyrical quirkiness of the solo works of the duo who comprised Steely Dan.  There are some great songs within these works and any fan of music would be advised to listen and check these out.

The 500th Episode of the combined Dave Juskow podcasts - The Spread, The Nightfly and Juskow in the City. For this episode I decided to record it with my other weekly YouTube Show at the Comedy Cellar (Comedy Cellar Tuesdays with Dave Juskow). So joining me on this episode recorded Tuesday December 10, 2024 are Dave Attell, Nick Griffin and Russ Meneve. We really had a great time recording this. Later in the episode I put up pictures of old comedians we either started with or were ahead of us when we first started to see if we could guess their names. It was alot of fun. I think you'll like it too. I couldn't be happier that this one, the 500th episode, is now one of my favorite episodes. That's the way it should be. Thanks so much for being a loyal listener of Juskow in the City. And, please feel free to sign up for my Patreon page if you liked the show.

Juni 2005: Die 20-jährige Anja geht an den Wochenenden gerne mit Freund:innen weg, um zu feiern. Deswegen ist Anja auch an diesem Abend, wie schon oft, extra aus ihrem kleinen Heimatdorf Rietzel in die 16 km entfernte Stadt Burg gefahren. Denn hier gibt es das “Nightfly”. Aber irgendwie will heute keine richtige Stimmung aufkommen und Anja beschließt zu gehen. Schnell tippt sie eine SMS an ihren Freund und sagt ihm, dass sie sich jetzt auf den Nachhauseweg macht und ihn vermisst. Dann steigt sie in ihr Auto und macht sich auf den Weg nach Hause. Als ihre Eltern am nächsten Tag aufwachen, ist Anja nicht da. Im ganzen Dorf fragt man sich: Wo ist Anja? In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Anjas Bruder Stephan über die Zeit, in der niemand wusste, wo Anja ist und darüber, wie er es geschafft hat, das Geschehene zu verarbeiten.

I THINK OF YOU. Remember falling in love for the first time? Ivy captures the longing for that feeling this week on Lester the Nightfly.

The Nightfly is back to do a tiny tribute to the great David Sanborn and some of his influence, especially his work with the great Dave Grusin, Sting, David Bowie and David Juskow (I added my name in to make another David reference - I should see if he worked with Dave Grohl -- although I do have a clip of him on David Letterman - SO. . . we're good). Also, another, if you can believe it, anchovy incident - I mean, it's impossible, right? AND, sending my backpack home in luxury turned out to be a major financial mix-up and toting around turned out to be a pain being in such a small place as well (but it's all hilarious) Hosted on Acast.

Mario Alvo and Amit Knust are guests again this week. And they share NEW MUSIC - a world premiere on Lester the Nightfly.

Bill Gibson began playing music at the age of seven. He found his passion for music when his father Ed Gibson, an architect by trade but a jazz drummer in his own right, began taking him to see such greats as The Count Basie Orchestra, The Duke Ellington Orchestra, and The Buddy Rich Big Band. Inspired by big band jazz and rock & roll styles, Bill got his first drum kit at age fourteen, and began playing drums with local bands the following year. He soon became the drummer for Sound Hole and played his first tour in 1974 backing up Van Morrison. Bill is a founding member of Huey Lewis and the News, which he and other members of Sound Hole and the band Clover formed in 1979. 33 years later, the band is still going strong and has enjoyed enormous success with over 30 million albums sold worldwide, 19 top ten hits including "The Power of Love", "Stuck With You", and "Hip To Be Square", and multiple awards and award nominations.

Philippe Robin nous raconte les histoires des reprises les plus insolites de la musique. Du lundi au vendredi à 7h30.

En la fotografía a blanco y negro del disco se ve a un hombre en mangas de camisa y con corbata fina. Está sentado frente a un micrófono en una habitación que parece un sótano. En la pared hay un reloj inmenso y una carpeta con pinza. En la mesa, junto al micrófono, se ve un cenicero medio vacío, a su lado unas cerillas y un paquete. Mas allá hay un tocadiscos. La imagen es misteriosa, inquietante, hermosa. Arriba, con letra firme en color azul se le un nombre y un título. Donald Fagen. The Nightfly.Tras media vida junto a Steely Dan, Donald Fagen grabó un disco en solitario. Un disco extraño, seductor. Nocturno y algo oscuro. En aquellas canciones, Fagen miraba con nostalgia a su infancia, a esos años 50 atenazados por el desastre nuclear y la Guerra Fría. Pero ese poso y esa mirada se van desarrollando a lo largo del disco en unas letras complejas que Fagen tardó ocho meses en terminar.Aquel álbum poderoso fue disco de oro a comienzos de los años ochenta, en plena era de las estrellas del pop. Aquel logro resultó totalmente inesperado. Fagen no lo buscaba ni lo anhelaba. Él, que se había calificado de esnob del jazz, había triunfado conjugando pop y jazz con enorme maestría en una grabación compleja. Fagen tardó casi un año en dar por concluido el disco y después entró en una profunda crisis personal.Donald Fagen no volvió a grabar un disco en 12 años. Su historia, como su música, resulta hipnótica. Hoy queremos recordar este The Nightfly, un trabajo que recorremos de la mano del periodista Fernando Neira y con los reportajes de Lucía Taboada.

A Year in Review | Lester the Nightfly (S3 | 159) | We interviewed musicians and talked jazz and innovative approaches to music and life.

Das ganze Jahr über präsentieren wir euch bei den SWR1 Meilensteinen Alben, die aus musikjournalistischer Sicht absolute Meilensteine sind. Zur Weihnachtszeit werden auch wir etwas emotionaler und präsentieren euch mal die ganz persönlichen Meilensteine unserer SWR1 Musikredaktion. Carolyne Mas und ihre "Mas Hysteria" Den Anfang macht in dieser Weihnachtsfolge übrigens kein Musikwunsch aus der Musikredaktion von SWR1 Rheinland-Pfalz, sondern ein Meilensteine-Hörer. Frank Bick hat sich für den Podcast "Mas Hysteria" von Singer/Songwriterin Carolyne Mas rausgesucht. Eigentlich ist es auch gar kein richtiges Album, sondern der Mitschnitt eines Radiokonzertes Anfang der 80er-Jahre, das Carolyne Mas gegeben hat. Ganz besonders der Song "Sittin' in the Dark" hat es dem Meilensteine-Fan angetan, wie er erzählt. Für ihn ist der Song pure Nostalgie. Er hat "Sittin' in the Dark" häufig in seiner Zeit beim Militär gehört, während er mit seinen Kameraden nachts in einem VW Käfer von Wildeshausen nach Wesel gefahren ist. "Da haben wir uns natürlich Kassetten mitgenommen! [...] Da musste jeder was mitbringen. [...] Auf dem Rückweg vom Bund war da super Laune. [...] Da passte diese Musik super rein", erzählt SWR1-Hörer Frank Bick im Podcast. Auch wenn einige Menschen Carolyn Mas hier und da mal als weibliche Bruce Springsteen betitelt haben, weil sie mit Teilen seiner E-Street Band gespielt hat, vergleicht SWR1 Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig sie doch eher mit Patti Smith oder den Pretenders – neben dem Boss ist auch dieser Vergleich durchaus schmeichelnd zu verstehen. Vorurteilsfrei: George Michael und "Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1" Nachdem "Wham!" sich Mitte der 80er Jahre getrennt hatten, machte auch George Michael als Solokünstler weiter. Sein erstes Soloalbum "Faith" – auf dem auch der gleichnamige Megahit war – war 1987 ein riesen Erfolg gewesen. Mit "Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1" stand er also vor der Mammutaufgabe des zweiten Albums, das viele Künstler fürchten. Das zweite Album gilt bei Bands und Solokünstlern gleichermaßen als das schwierigste, weil das häufig darüber entscheidet, ob der Künstler in die Bedeutungslosigkeit abdriftet oder sich als ernst zu nehmender Künstler etabliert. Und George Michael emanzipierte sich mit dem Album von dem vorangegangen Look und Sound seiner Musik und seiner Person. Es war nicht mehr so schillernd und voll auf die zwölf, sondern im Gegenteil: Es war zurückgenommen und jazzig, wie SWR1 Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig im Meilensteine Podcast beschreibt. "Er macht gleich klar: Das ist George Michael! So kennt ihr ihn nicht. Das ist nicht Disko "Bumm, Bumm, Bumm" von Wham, das ist auch nicht der Tanzkasper aus "Faith"", erzählt Stephan Fahrig. Die Plattenfirma war mit dem "neuen George Michael" nicht so zufrieden, weil sie sich auf einem Album natürlich mehr Hits erhofft hat. Denn die erfolgreichen Singles sind es, die die Albumverkäufe ankurbeln und nicht der eigene Anspruch des Künstlers. Einen großen Hit hat die Plattenfirma dann auch bekommen: "Freedom! '90". Powerfrau Alicia Keys und ihr Grammyalbum: "As I Am" Mit "As I Am" hat Alicia Keys 2007 ihr drittes Album rausgebracht und zahlenmäßig passend dafür auch drei Grammys bekommen. Rund sechs Millionen Mal hat sich die Platte weltweit verkauft. Alicia Keys kommt mitten aus New York City, kennt das Großstadtleben und ist gleichzeitig aber auch ein Kind der klassischen Musik. Schon mit fünf Jahren hat sie Klavierunterricht bekommen und auch die Musik der großen Meister wie Mozart, Chopin etc. gespielt. Und genau diese beiden Welten verbindet sie in Ihrer Musik zu einer: der raue, harte Großstadtflair und die feine Zerbrechlichkeit und Technik der Klassik. Das perfekte Bindemittel dafür ist ihre kraftvolle und doch oft kratzige Stimme. Nicht nur ihre Stimme ist kraftvoll, sondern die ganze Person Alicia Keys ist eine echte Powerfrau. Das zeigt sie uns immer wieder und sie hat sich für das Album eine weitere starke Frau als Songwriterin zur Seite geholt: Linda Perry. Diese hatte in den 90ern ihren großen Durchbruch als Sängerin der "4 Non Blondes". Linda Perrys eigentliche Karriere startete dann aber mehr im Hintergrund als Songwriterin und Produzentin. Sie hat nicht nur mit Alicia Keys zusammengearbeitet, sondern auch mit vielen anderen großen weiblichen Stars wie Pink, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera oder Céline Dion. Auf "As I Am" war Linda natürlich passenderweise auch am Song "Superwoman" beteiligt. Moderner 80er Pop aus Australien: Client Liaison Die 80er sind zumindest musikalisch sowas wie das "Lieblingsjahrzehnt" der Deutschen. Und auch heute feiert die junge Generation von Musikfans und Musikmachern begeistert die Sounds der 80er-Jahre. Megastar The Weeknd ist da ganz vorne mit dabei, aber auch der deutsche Produzent Puple Disco Machine. Auch die australische Band Client Liaison hat sich ganz den 80ern verschrieben und macht nicht nur Musik im Sound der 80er, sondern ist auch in ihrem ganzen Auftreten und ihren Performances ein echtes 80er-Jahre Gesamtkunstwerk, erklärt SWR1 Musikredakteur Dave Jörg im Podcast, der selber großer Fan der 80er ist. "Die klingen nicht nur nach 80ern und frühen 90ern, die stylen sich auch so. Die sind in Australien bekannt für ihre aufwendigen Videoclips und da inszenieren die sich oft in so einer hedonistischen 80er-Jahre Konsumwelt – so yuppie-mäßig. [...] Die nehmen das schon auf die Schippe, aber die servieren so ein gesamtes Konzept", sagt SWR1-Musikredakteur Dave Jört im Podcast über die australische Band. Die musikalische Fortführung von Steely Dan Nachdem die Band Steely Dan sich 1981 aufgelöst hatte, machte Sänger Donald Fagen als Solokünstler weiter. In diesem Jahr hat Donald Fagen seinen 75. Geburtstag gefeiert. Sein erstes Soloalbum "The Nightfly" veröffentliche Fagen relativ kurz nach der Auflösung von Steely Dan im Jahr 1982. Das Besondere an dieser Platte ist zum einen, dass es ein Konzeptalbum ist, dass sich sozusagen von vorne bis hinten in einem Guss hören lässt und dabei zwar musikalisch anspruchsvoll ist, aber trotzdem auch ganz beiläufig gut zu hören ist. Man kann der Platte trotz der Komplexität einfach folgen. Das funktioniert natürlich am besten, wenn man sich geniale Studiomusiker mit dazu holt. Durch seine Arbeit bei Steely Dan war das persönliche Telefonbuch von Donald Fagen durchaus nützlich, was auch sein Soloalbum angeht und er hat sich für "The Nightfly" jede Menge fantastischer Musiker dazugeholt, unter anderem auch Basslegende Marcus Miller und Schlagzeuger und Toto-Gründungsmitglied Jeff Porcaro. __________ Über diese Songs wird im Podcast gesprochen (02:04) – “Sittin' in the Dark” von Carolyn Mas (11:50) – “Thomas Dunson's Revenge” von Carolyn Mas (17:13) – “Praying for Time” von George Michael (20:50) – “Cowboys And Angels” von George Michael (22:04) – “Freedom! ‘90” von George Michael (28:03) – “Nocturne Nr. 20 in Cis-Moll” von Frédéric Chopin, gespielt von Sophie Pacini (28:51) – “As I Am Intro” von Alicia Keys (30:28) – “No One” von Alicia Keys (32:19) – “Teenage Love Affair” von Alicia Keys (33:32) – “Superwoman” von Alicia Keys (35:23) – “Tell You Something” von Alicia Keys (38:19) – “Off White Limousine” von Client Liaison (41:23) – “The Bravest Beginnings” von Client Liaison (45:41) – “Where Do We Belong” von Client Liaison (47:27) – “Home” von Client Liaison (54:10) – “The Nightfly” von Donald Fagen (56:14) – “I.G.Y” von Donald Fagen (58:57) – “Maxine” von Donald Fagen __________ Shownotes: Youtube-Kanal von Carolyne Mas: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqVgiU5rjS4jvv9_cC7boXQ Website Carolyne Mas: https://carolynemas.com/ Das legendäre “Freedom!” Video von George Michael: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diYAc7gB-0A Alica Keys perfomt ihre Lieblings Songs von “As I Am” im Studio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeDZ8Me7iEc Alicia Keys Interview der Vogue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwZjWigTTHM Youtube-Kanal von Client Liaison: https://www.youtube.com/@clientliaisonmusic Podcast-Tipp: SWR2 Wissen: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/swr2-wissen/8758500/ __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

The Nightfly is the debut solo album from Donald Fagen.  Fagen and his Steely Dan partner Walter Becker had released the Gaucho album in late 1980, and Becker was having a lot of trouble.  His girlfriend died of a drug overdose in their apartment, and he was sued for several million dollars.  Shortly after that he was hit by a taxi, which shattered his leg.  Steely Dan disbanded in 1981, and Becker moved to Maui.  Fagen wanted “The Nightfly” to be autobiographical, and without the irony and biting nature of Steely Dan.  There is a lot of adolescence and innocence in these songs, reflecting back on Fagen's time growing up.  The album is also one of the first to be recorded entirely in digital.  Steely Dan had tried this approach fo“Gaucho,” but it didn't work out and they reverted to analog.  Audiophiles gravitate to The Nightfly, and EQ Magazine ranks it as one of the top 10 Best Recorded Albums of All Time, up there with The Beatles' “Sergeant Peppers” and The Beach Boys' “Pet Sounds.”Donald Fagan had problems with depression after recording “The Nightfly,” and largely disappeared from the music scene through the rest of the 80's.  Fagan said in 2006 that he hasn't listened to "The Nightfly" since making it.  However, he did record two other albums which are considered to form "The Nightfly Trilogy," including Kamakiriad" from 1993 and "Morph the Cat" from 2006.  There would also be a reunion of Steely Dan later on.Bruce presents this jazzy album for this week's episode. I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World)This lead single is also the track that leads off the album.  "I.G.Y." stands for International Geophysical Year, which was a project that lasted between July 1957 and December 1958.  It encompassed eleven earth science projects and included collaboration between East and West.  The song reflects the positivity of that time and collaboration.  The song was released in September 1982 and reached number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the end of November.The NightflyThis track imagines a late night DJ named Lester who plays jazz on WJAZ out of Baton Rouge, and also takes calls from conspiracy theorists.  is about a spiritual quest.  While not released as a single, this song did receive some airplay on FM stations in the 80's.Ruby BabyAlthough heavily arranged with close harmonies by Fagen, this is a cover song originally performed by the Drifters in 1956.  A number of artists have covered it over time, including Dion (number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962), Billy "Crash Craddock, Del Shannon, Mitch Ryder, and Bobby Darin.New FrontierThis fun single did not break into the top 40, but it was a frequent video on the then-new MTV channel.  The idea of the song is that an adolescent boy is bringing a girl over to his parents' bomb shelter for a good time.  "Yes, we're going to have a wing ding..." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:It Might Be You by Stephen Bishop (from the motion picture "Tootsie" )Dustin Hoffman stars in this cross-dressing romance comedy about an actor disguising himself as a woman to land a job. STAFF PICKS:Steppin' Out by Joe JacksonRob starts the staff picks with a song inspired by Jackson's time in New York City.  The song reflects the excitement of a drive around town, and hit number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.  It is off the album "Night and Day," which reflects New York City during the day on side 1, and the City during the night on side 2.Mexican Radio by Wall of VoodooWayne's staff pick is a weird one.  This new wave act describes listening to the broadcasts of high-wattage unregulated Mexican radio stations whose signals were strong enough to be picked up in small town U.S.A.  Wall of Voodoo's $15,000 video would be on constant repeat on MTV.Maneater by Hall & Oates Lynch brings us a big Hall & Oates hit that spent four weeks at number 1 on the charts.  The song describes a woman who is bad news, only looking for money.  The video features a live panther, that got loose in the rafters of the set at one point, prompting a hasty retreat from Darryl Hall.   The sax part is played by Charles "Mr. Casual" DeChant, who also appears in the video during his solo.She Sheila by The ProducersBruce finishes up the staff picks with Atlanta's own The Producers.  This is the big single off the band's second album "You Make the Heat."  It went to number 48 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts, and alternates between an ethereal synth part and a high energy New Wave sound. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Bonzo's Montreux by Led ZeppelinJohn Bonham's live drum solo closes out this week's podcast.

Hope for Christmas (S2 | E102) The Lester the Nightfly Holiday Music Interview Yes. That's right. A holiday show just prior to Thanksgiving. In a word, our crack team at LTNF is "UNAPOLOGETIC!" We love Christmas and we don't care who knows it! This is our second sit-down with Hope. We helped her celebrate the release of her 2022 record Before We Take Our Leave here, and here. Thank you Hope Griffin for so much new Christmas music for this season. Hope for Christmas this week on Lester the Nightfly. Born in Anchorage, Alaska, Hope Griffin was literally born into music. Surrounded by a musical family, she began singing and performing when she was very young. Hope first got turned onto the idea of writing her own music when she received a guitar at age 17. She attended Carson-Newman University and went on to receive a Bachelors degree in classical voice. It was there that her true flair for songwriting developed. Hope's drive to perform her original works was launched after winning a songwriters contest in college in 2007. She eventually moved to Asheville, North Carolina where she began introducing her angelic vocals and folky lyrics into the music scene. Hope quickly began to rise as an Asheville favorite. In 2012, her debut single “Hanging In The Balance” made international radio play. She was recognized in regional publications such as the Herald-Journal, The Mountain Xpress, and The Daily Times.

This week we have three features provided by our listeners. Scott Hawk has thoughts on why CDs were considered superior to albums in the early 80s. John Lyman compares Records vs Airplay and Digital lossless and Tim Klevar reviews the Airfly Bluetooth dongle and the Sony Mark V headphones. Plus we have listener emails and news.  NBC Could Give Third Hour Of Nightly Primetime Back To Local Affiliates Samsung, Prime Video to Offer 8K Content From ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' Report: Budget-friendly Samsung displays on the horizon CD's Were Universally Recognized as Superior to Albums in the 1980s By Scott Hawk Back in 1985, cassettes were outselling records and you probably remember how terrible they were.  Cheap housings made them wobbly inside your player. Cheap tape material gunked up the heads and reels of your cassette deck with soot. They used Dolby B or no noise reduction. All this got worse if you kept them in your car.  For many people, records were not much better. Few people cleaned their records so pops, hisses and cracks were common. Plus, the record undergoes wear with each play since the needle is physically touching the grooves.  Plus, the stylus would also exhibit wear, reducing its ability to track the grooves on the record. A stylus starts off with a nice point but gets rounder over time.  So, play a record 300 times and the wear on the stylus and record obviously effects the sound quality. Most turntables were belt driven and the belts had been stretched, dried out or slipping which caused all sorts of wow & flutter.  Now, enter the CD. Even though CD players were at first expensive, within a few years all CD players sounded alike. Everyone who listened to music got an upgrade.  If you had a cassette tape, the new CD sounded amazing. And, if your tape was a few years old, the new CD sounded like it came from heaven.  If you had a worn out record playing on a worn out turntable, you also got a major sound upgrade.  And, if you listened to FM radio, you too got a huge sound upgrade.  Plus, they sounded great on the first play and the 300th. CDs were also indestructible compared to tapes and records.  No wonder everyone raved about digital music.   So, what happened since then? Today, getting a good music experience is much simpler. Any phone with even basic headphones stream good sounding music. And, nice sounding music can even come from a bluetooth speaker.  But to get music out of a turntable, you have to go through a process which has some attraction. It's certainly more of a process than using your phone. That process has some allure to it and the music will sound different. People can decide for themselves if something that sounds different is actually better. I think my own experience was not the most common. I was passionate about this as a kid.  I saved up to buy a fancy direct-drive turntable, with a floating suspension and a carbon fiber tonearm. I bought a Shure cartridge, installed it myself and adjusted the tonearm, tracking pressure and tracking angle. I'd buy a new album and play it twice … once to remove any manufacturing artifacts and then again to copy it to a Hi-Bias or Metal tape with Dolby C noise reduction. I splurged on a 3-head tape deck and cleaned it (and my records) religiously.  I'd only play the record again to replace the tape or make a mix tape.  I was very particular in getting the tape to sound as close to the record as I could.  So … a friend gets a CD player and loans it to me.  I go out and buy 2 CD's … Don Fagan's Nightfly and Dire Straits (first album).  Holy cow … it blew away my ears.  The highs on the cymbals were stunning. The dynamic range was astonishing.  The extra thump of the bass gives me chills to this day.  Even after all the effort I took to get the best sound, this new technology just ran the table. Record vs Airplay and Digital lossless a Listener's Test  By John Lyman With all the discussion I was curious about the difference in the following three formats: Streaming via AirPlay 2, USB to Amp streaming at highest rate vs a record. My setup for the test:   M1 iMac streaming to an Airport Express (Airplay 2)  - digital output into the receiver (10 Feet away) 2019 16” MacBook Pro connected to Amp using USB output set to 24 bit 192Khz  Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo Turntable - connected to a Cambridge Audio phono amp Amp is a Cambridge Audio CXA-81  Speakers are Wharfdale EVO 4.2  Sub is turned off and no EQ running Using Apple Music for digital content The songs I picked were  determined by the few albums I have and those that are brand new.  I also chose the first song on a side of the record so I was listening to the same thing from all sources.  I played about 1:30 minutes of the song. I went in the same order starting with streaming to Airplay, USB direct connect and then turntable. Songs used Elton John - Sweet Painted Lady (24 bit 44.1Khz  lossless from Apple)  Neil Young - Old Man (24 bit 196 Khz) Pink Floyd - Speak to Me/Breathe (24bit 96Khz) Overall I noticed the same thing  Airplay had the narrowest soundstage, was the brightest sounding of all, and the instruments did not stand out as much.  The horn on Sweet painted lady was not as pronounced.  In the chorus of Old Man where its a higher pitch and louder - the other instruments get lost.  Breathe you can't tell there are two voice at the beginning  USB Connection While Painted lady was at the same stream quality I could hear a difference. The soundstage was larger and I noticed a horn that I did not in the Airplay 2.  Old Man is where I really could hear the difference in the sound stage being a little wider and the instruments were clearer.  When they get to chorus its not as bright as the Airplay and I could easily make out the other instruments.  Breathe - I noticed there were at least two voices singing and again bigger soundstage  Album - WOW this blew me away on all three songs with a much warmer sound and clean.  Sweet Painted Lady had a great soundstage, the horn came out great along with the other instruments.  Old Man the chorus was not as high pitched as the others and I could make out more of the background singers. Speak to Me/Breathe - this is where I was blown away.  In the digital version the jump between Speak to me and Breath is very pronounced there is no ramp up to the louder music you just jump there.  On the album there was a ramp up and then the wall of music hit me.   Conclusion  I found that the higher bit rate/more information provided did create a better sound picture filling in the holes a little better because of the additional information.  I would also say the direct connection does make a difference as I noticed with Sweet Painted Lady.  However, with the majority of my listening being done during the work day or streaming around the house with a non-critical ear. I will continue to use Airplay 2 because it is easy.   However, for critical listening I will be using either a Mac hooked up directly or an Album with a good bourbon. Update  I wanted to send an update after this weekend.  I was reading an article about Open Core Legacy Patcher (OpenCore Legacy Patcher) that allows a person to install the latest Mac OS on older machines.  So I went through the process of updating my 2012 Mac mini that I use as media server.  This allowed me to load Monterey on that machine and take full advantage of Apple Music lossless on the machine and also Airplay to the machine from other devices.  I'm streaming the music over USB to my amp as it allows full 24/192 output (digital capped out at 24/96) when direct streaming.   I also received Supertramp's Even in the Quietest moments original album.  This album has a song called Fool's Overture that I have been using for speaker testing since the 90's. A great song because of so many instruments and changes really puts speakers through its paces. So I listened to this song from the album and again I noticed  a warmer and good sound stage. To me the bottom line is that both lossless and vinyl sound great for those dedicated music listening times.  The reason I believe those two give a better sound quality is similar to streaming vs a Blu-ray Disc the more information the better the end product will be and the better the sound stage.  Airfly & Sony Mark V A Listener's Review By Tim Klevar The Airfly is everything it promises to be. I bought the Duo and it allows two devices to connect. If you have cup phones and earpods, this or the Duo Pro is for you. There are two models of the Airfly: Duo and Pro. Both allow for two devices to connect. The Pro provides an “Aux in” function. The Duo is about $10 less expensive than the Pro, although neither are more than $55. Mostly, I think, cars and other things do not need this.  I bought the Duo. It works well, it is “elegant” in its design and function. It only has two buttons with dots. There is a single dot and double dot button used to connect and select the devices. Pressing either button connects to the device that was paired on that button. It charges via a USB-C port and has a USB-C to USB-A cable included. It is only about 6 inches long, but enough to get from an IFE USB to the AirFly. It is pretty cool.  The Sony Mark V headphones are everything they promise to be. I agree with Tom's and RTINGS analysis. While they do not come with aptX, they have the other main codecs, including LDAC. These seem to me to be better than the Bose 700's, which likely will not be upgraded until next year. On the other hand, the Mark V uses BT 5.2 and I was able to get about 40+ feet away from the source with no dropoff in quality or squeaks/pops. It was just as clear as when I was in the room. These work really well. They are not perfect. And pricey. But if you have the money, they are worth it. I believe it is better than the Bose 700s.  The noise canceling is super and the sound is excellent. I do not have one of the subscriptions to try the spatial 360 stuff. The ear cups fit nicely over my normal sized ears and provide a snug fit. There are only two buttons, one to power on and one to change the noise canceling levels, of which there are about 6 or 7. I have not yet been on a plane to see about engine noise, but around the house, it is a “dark” zone when I have these on. However, I notice that sometimes when I laugh or move my jaws just so, it pauses the video/audio stream and I have to double-tap the right cup to play again (I watch one or two episodes of Hogan's Heroes or Bob Newhart to relax my mind before I go to bed). It is still pretty cool that when I take them off, the stream pauses and then resumes when I put them back on.   The connection via BT was clean, and the Duke Ellington I listened to was sensational. All ambient noise in my home office was eliminated. The app is a little lame, and to get the 360 Spatial, you have to use one of 5 services, one of which is TIDAL, but the others were obscure to me (Deezer, Artist, mugs.net,, Peertracks)  I particularly enjoyed being able to use the conductive touch feature to raise/lower the volume, skip ahead and such. Just a quick swipe on the left earcup was all that was needed. They also include a 3.5mm cable for a wired connection if you run out of juice, but they are supposed to last for 30 hours at full charge. A nice thing, you can get a couple of hours with a 3-5 minute charge, although with the advent of more in-seat power this is not really a “feature.”  In theory you can use Aa-Lady to do things with the app, but I have not been able to figure that out yet. I also Have had issues trying to update the firmware. While I know that high-speed connectivity is coming, many do not have that and use the IFE system. This doohickey will let them use their BT headphones for which they paid a fortune.

Just when you think you know all there is to know about Donald Fagen, he surprises you. There are legendary stories, traded like playing cards in chat rooms, fanzines, and merch lines. Along with his musical partner, the late Walter Becker (who passed away in 2017), Fagen influenced countless musicians, producers and songwriters by setting the gold standard in record production and arrangement with his band Steely Dan. This is known. There are the solo records, including The Nightfly (released in 1982), which was nominated for seven Grammys and continues to serve as a reference for hi-fi aficionados around the world 30 years on. This is known.  Much is known about Donald Fagen and his work, it's true. But much is still left to be revealed. Stage fright, a general aversion to appearing on television (he and Becker lacked the large heads and “swaths of cheek” that they felt necessary to really make it on the small screen), and nearly 20 years with no touring created a mystique that endures to this day, despite the fact that they've toured regularly since the mid 90s.  So Donald can surprise you. He does it not by telling you what happened, but rather what he thinks about it. Or more to the point, how he thinks about it. He tells you that Steely Dan has “more in common with punk than with the confessional California singer songwriters” that they were often compared to. He tells you why Stravinsky was a precursor to funk music. He tells you what's postmodern about his music, why making his first solo record was so personally disruptive to him, how he falls asleep, when he decided to finally grow up, and who he never wants to see again. This conversation was recorded in summer of 2019. This summer, Steely Dan is back out on the road playing to crowds of delighted fans around the country.

Supposedly, the interview you're about to hear is with a Time Traveler from 2052. You can decide what to believe. He gives us a look into the future. Some of it is horrible. Some of it is beautiful. My friend, Lester (he calls himself "The Nightfly"), is a talk radio DJ at an independent station, WJAZ. He does Jazz and conversation. He's had some pretty strange callers on his show. One of them complained about a race of men in the trees, and the guy was for tough legislation. That gives you some metric for the reliability of his callers. Rasmussen, however, wasn't a caller. He actually broke into the station, and he demanded Lester set up an interview with me over Zoom. This is that interview. The transcript, along with the Patreon screenshot Rasmussen uses as evidence to back his claim to be from the future can be found here: https://frededer.home.blog/2022/06/05/stronginterview-with-a-time-traveler-strongstrongthe-transcript-and-freds-commentary-strong/ Please support this show on Patreon to keep Independent Art alive: https://www.patreon.com/Freds_Front_Porch?fan_landing=true --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fredsporch/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fredsporch/support
