Podcasts about Steely Dan

Mikey Wheeler is a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a musician, and a tattoo artist. He's also my guest for Episode No. 181.Every now and again I wax emotional about what a good human with whom I've had the privilege of sitting on the other side of the table of, and when I do so it is 100 percent not in an effort to speak any less of the other fine folks that've been kind enough to join me.We've all got a story or stories. We've all rowed the channels of life in one form or other.Being that this show is what this show is, though, it's difficult to manage my time wisely enough to get folks to sit in the chair opposite mine. And it's a whole other cart of magic beans to land someone that's as sharp, articulate, benevolent, and wise as the likes of a Mikey Wheeler.I said this while we were rolling, and I don't want to ruin anything by repeating any thing that doesn't warrant it, but this one's an exception: Shouts out to Mikey's mom, Debra, his siblings and his grandma and his uncle. Shouts out to the friends and bandmates Mikey's made along the way. Shouts out to his wife and all his work homeys, too. This is a conversationalist, and were I of the means to launch a podcast network, I'd try to get Mikey to be a part of that content with some consistency.Mikey earns his living inking humans and he does so down at Windhorse Tattoo. The joint's visible online at windhorserising.com, and you can roll your IRL bones in there at 901 E. 31st Street in downtown KCMO. Give them a buzz at 816-283-0500, and toss 'em a follow on the old IG at @windhorsetattoo. At this very moment, I can't personally speak to the fruits of Mikey's labor, but he's got a handful of repeat customers, is perpetually acquiring new, and -- per our conversation -- he's booked out six to eight months. So if you've ever been on the fence and one of your hesitations has been because you don't know who to go to in Kansas City, pick up the phone and call Windhorse; I suspect they can set you straight.Anyway...Mikey and I talked about the wild life experience of growing up in a way that didn't necessarily look like that of those around you but winding up grateful for the very manner in which it happened, regardless.We talked hoops, tatts, Steely Dan, Slint, Mike Patton projects, the glorious benefit of attending absolutely dynamite shows where everyone present is just jazzed to the gills about being there. We talked about the idea of there being two kinds of people -- those who care about humanity + everyone else -- on this planet. We man-crushed over Daniel Day-Lewis like a couple of goobers, and we talked about being in bands and making music.It was awesome.Follow the dude on Instagram at @mikeywheelertattooer, and stay tuned for the entirety of our chat; I don't typically edit much out, anyway, but this one clicked the whole way through. It'll be worth your time.copyright disclaimer: I don't own the rights to the audio clips contained within these episodes.

First published in 1994, author Brian Sweet's book on Steely Dan, Reelin' in the Years, has been recently updated and reprinted to incorporate the last few years of the band's legacy. We discuss the band's unique way of working, their mysterious personalities, why they're considered "cool" when so many others of that genre aren't, why so many musicians lined up to work with them and how Brian came to write the only book on the band of its kind. Plus, we're giving a copy away to a Patreon supporter! Enjoy!  The Hustle Podcast | creating podcasts | Patreon

Erica in her element, playing a baker's dozen smooth rock tunes of the 70's & 80's that are a hallmark of the format. Steely Dan, Kenny Loggins, Boz Scaggs, Al Jarreau, Doobie Brothers, and more...

In the final installment of Sara J's conversation with jazz saxophonist Dan Wallace, the focus shifts to his band, The 11th Hour, and their phenomenal cover of Tool's "Sober." Dan also shares his aspirations for a live album and the story of his friendship with musician Marc Shapiro, who was the catalyst for Dan's guest spot here on the show.Dan shares his experiences in the Baltimore music scene, his college days in New Orleans, and gives props to the artists who influenced the musicians we love. He also explains why he believes Steely Dan stands the test of time (and would probably survive the apocalypse). Dan talks about his future plans, including an upcoming jazz album, before switching things up to embark on something new.And you won't want to miss the incredible story of how he may or may not have convinced Jeff Coffin to take the gig with The Dave Matthews Band full-time back in the summer of 2008.More from this week's guest:Sober (Tool) Dan Wallace and the 11th Hour: https://youtu.be/dH8GQyNB3Zc?si=RCG0J9EyPkxh_Lzc"Terms and Conditions" by Dan Wallace and the 11th Hour: https://youtu.be/gJeGfIIvPK8?si=4W8g1HVGPTiyPKqEDan Wallace and the 11th Hour, a playlist on SoundCloud: https://on.soundcloud.com/hSxKIkPHDHIZYXJXLXDonate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

Wait until you hear his Steely Dan take

Seven tracks. No filler. The cleanest, smoothest, most obsessively crafted album of the ‘70s.This week, the McGuigan Brothers drop the needle on Aja, the record that turned Steely Dan from a band into a studio machine. We're talking Michael McDonald harmonies, Wayne Shorter solos, the Purdy Shuffle, Steve Gadd's legendary drum break, and lyrics that read like noir poetry.From Chevy Chase on drums in college, to ditching the tour bus forever, to making an album that still gets name-checked in every audiophile forum on the internet. We go track by track, category by category.Plus: The Odyssey connection, Bernard Purdie's Beatles claim, and why Aja might be the ultimate “someone had to show it to you” record.

Off the back of the release of his latest record, "June", Max dials in with rocker De'Wayne. Along the way they discuss his collaborations with Australia's own Chase Atlantic, De'Wayne's journey to rock music as a listener, not just a performer, and how he's bringing the sexiness back to rock 'n' roll into the future.Connect with De'Wayne on Instagram and TikTok, and listen in to "June" on Spotify and Apple Music.Discover more new music and hear your favourite artists with 78 Amped on Instagram and TikTok.

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: August 6, 2025Name of podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS9: E3: Rod Roddy (LeRoux)- The Cajun SwampersSHOW SUMMARY:Pull up a chair on the bayou as Rod Roddy, founding member and keyboard master of Louisiana rock legends LeRoux, opens his home and memory vault for an intimate conversation about a musical journey spanning five decades.The humble piano player whose band earned the nickname "The Steely Dan of the South" takes us from his earliest days learning to play by ear to touring alongside rock royalty like Journey and Kansas. With characteristic Cajun warmth, Roddy reveals how LeRoux evolved from local favorites playing cover tunes to acclaimed recording artists and the house band at the legendary Studio in the Country in Bogalusa.In a poignant reflection on bandmates and friends, Roddy shares the spiritual awakening that led vocalist Jeff Pollard to walk away at the height of the band's success, and honors the recent losses of founding members Leon Medica and Tony Haselden. Through tales of their commercial breakthrough with "So Fired Up" and their 2020 return to their funkier roots on "One of Those Days," Roddy paints a vivid portrait of a band whose sound embodied Louisiana's rich musical gumbo.Perhaps most moving is Roddy's vulnerability when discussing the hearing issues that have changed his relationship with music, and his philosophical approach to LeRoux's uncertain future. "When we get together on stage, it's magic," he muses, "and we miss that part of it." For fans of regional rock history, studio musicianship, or anyone who's ever been moved by "New Orleans Ladies," this conversation offers rare insights into the creative spirit that kept LeRoux's musical flame burning for over four decades.Check out LeRoux's music and follow their journey at www.larueband.com as they determine what the next chapter holds for this beloved Southern rock institution.Sponsor Link:WWW.ECOTRIC.COMWWW.SIGNAD.COMWWW.RUNWAYAUDIO.COMBackstage Pass Radio Social Media Handles:Facebook - @backstagepassradiopodcast @randyhulseymusicInstagram - @Backstagepassradio @randyhulseymusicTwitter - @backstagepassPC @rhulseymusicWebsite - backstagepassradio.com and randyhulsey.comArtist(s) Web PageWeb - www.leroux.bandFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/louisianaslerouxCall to actionWe ask our listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the show and the artist's social media pages.

A nerd, a jock, a princess, a werewolf, and a gender-swapping journalist walk into 1985… This week, Jovial Jay and Shua take a nostalgic trip back to high school to celebrate the teen comedies that defined a generation on Enjoy Stuff Whether you were eating lunch in the library, building your dream girl, or skiing the K12, teen comedies in 1985 tapped into real adolescent emotions with totally tubular exaggeration. It's been 40 years since these iconic films hit theaters—so grab your Walkman, fluff your bangs, and join us as we Enjoy Teen Movies! News A coffee table made out of VHS tapes goes viral, mixing nostalgia and furniture   George Lucas highlight narrative art at SDCC   Starfleet Academy teaser drops, setting up a return to Star Trek's future   Strange New Worlds renewed for 5th and final season   H.E.R.B.I.E. and the Fantastic Four join the Avengers Campus lineup   Spinal Tap II drops a trailer—get ready to crank it to 11 again this September   RIP Tom Lehrer—brilliant satirist and mathematician   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua is fascinated by Huge* (*if true), a smart and engaging YouTube show hosted by Cleo Abram that tackles big ideas with clarity and positivity. Jay fell down a retro rabbit hole with Wild Rides (1982), a Nickelodeon doc/music special hosted by a young Matt Dillon and set to rollercoaster footage with music from The Who, Steely Dan, Hendrix, and more.     Sci-Fi Saturdays -  This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay analyzes the rebooted Robocop (2014). It has a slicker suit, sharper tech, and a whole lot more Michael Keaton, but does it hold up to the original? Read Jay's full breakdown on RetroZap.com. Also check out his latest work on MCULocationScout.com including “Fantastic Four-apalooza!” and coverage of Agents of SHIELD Season 5. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Teen Movies!  1985 was a banner year for teen comedies, giving us characters we loved, related to, and sometimes cringed at. These movies didn't just entertain, they helped define Generation X adolescence. Why did these films resonate so much? Because the '80s were overflowing with disposable teen cash, hungry studios, and an army of rising stars like Michael J. Fox, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, John Cusack, and more. They gave us escapism, identity, and some truly quotable lines.   Did one of these movies speak to you? Did you own the soundtrack? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Two Dollars!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com 

Everyone knows Hulk Hogan's entrance music, but how many know the fascinating story behind Rick Derringer's "Real American"? With the recent passing of Hulk Hogan, we thought we'd revisit a previous episode and update it with new information. Oh, and also to film the whole dang thing as we weren't doing that back then. So, this week we're exploring the unlikely journey of a song that became one of wrestling's most iconic themes, examining its cultural impact, political appropriation, and the complex legacy of both its creator and, in some ways, Hulk Hogan too. From Rick Derringer's impressive musical pedigree (The McCoys, collaborations with Steely Dan, producing Weird Al) to the song's evolution from US Express theme to Hogan's signature tune, we unpack how a piece of 1980s excess became a cultural touchstone - and political football. We also talk about Rick Derringer's extensive musical career and connections, the origins and evolution of "Real American"; WWE's "Rock and Wrestling Connection" era in the mid to late 80s; the song's political appropriation across decades; Hulk Hogan's controversial legacy and recent passing; the music video's gloriously over-the-top 80s aesthetic and more. Let's fight for the right of every man. Or everyone, depending on the version you prefer. Episode Highlights 00:00 - Introduction and Hulk Hogan's recent cultural relevance 01:30 - Rick Derringer's impressive musical CV and career highlights 03:00 - The creation story: "The most patriotic song of all time" 05:30 - Wrestling music history and the Rock and Wrestling Connection 12:00 - How "Real American" became Hogan's theme (it wasn't originally!) 15:00 - Hulk Hogan's controversial legacy and recent scandals 18:00 - The Wrestling Album and WWE's musical ambitions 22:30 - The song's political life and cultural appropriation 28:00 - Iron Sheik's legendary Twitter feuds with Hogan 31:40 - Rick Derringer's own political evolution and re-recording 36:30 - The gloriously cheesy music video breakdown 41:00 - Why this song represents the 1980s perfectly 44:00 - Final thoughts on Hogan's impact and the song's enduring legacy

SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODEhttps://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflifeWe were fired up and started talking. And it didn't stop.Recording live vs. overdubbing is like the difference between a bar fight and a choreographed duel—lightning vs. a lighting rig. Vibe vs. Technical in an all-out deathmatch. Overdubbing gives you control, precision, all that antiseptic perfection—but who the hell wants to sound like Steely Dan doing math homework? Or the Eagles, high school bullies throwing everyone into a circle of fear 'til it's pitch perfect? Recording live? That's Neil, that's Bob—raw nerve, no net. That's where the action is. And the action, man... the action is the juice.

Baxie talks with Steely Dan biographer Brian Sweet. His book “Steely Dan: Reeling in the Years” is about to be released on paperback this August. The book is the definitive story about how Donald Fagan and Walter Becker became two of the most unlikely Rock Stars in history. Brian follows the story that took them from being reclusive song writers at Bard College, to reluctantly performing on stage, to refusing to play live so that they could focus all of their attention on writing and producing some of the most flawless albums ever recorded. Such an amazing story! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee!

Text us about this show.Steve March-Tormé and Michael Murphy return to Into The Music to introduce you to the title character of their new album, Dalton Diamond. This is an album just over four decades in the making having originated in a West Los Angeles bedroom as the idea of Steve along with his friend, Craig Copeland. In the mid 1980s, nine of the album's were written by Steve and Craig and two additional songs that round out the narrative were written forty years later by Steve and Michael. The feel of the album harkens back to the 1970s southern California country rock of the Eagles, J.D. Souther, Jackson Browne, and The Flying Burrito Brothers to name a handful of Dalton's influences. This episode serves as a preview of the album and Steve and Michael throw in a live performance for good measure.

Mark O'Connell returns to Casual Space to discuss one of the most extraordinary scientific collaborations in human history: the 1957 International Geophysical Year. With his signature wit and storytelling style, Mark takes us on the journey behind his NEW book, The Year Science Changed Everything, revealing how 6,000 scientists from 66 nations put aside political differences to study Earth's greatest mysteries—from the depths of the ocean to the edge of space. Beth and Mark explore the ripple effects of this global effort, including the formation of the Antarctic Treaty, the surprising roots of the Artemis Accords, and what IGY can teach us about tackling today's climate crisis. You'll hear how a Steely Dan song sparked Mark's decades-long curiosity, how scientific rivalries shaped history, and yes—even how a penguin nap could put you in violation of an international agreement. It's part history lesson, part love letter to science, and all kinds of fun. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at Mark's next creative project: a comedy script about astronomers Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe—think Amadeus meets Knives Out, with a golden nose and planetary motion thrown in.     About Mark O'Connell Mark O'Connell is the author of The Year Science Changed Everything: 1957's International Geophysical Year and the Future of Our Planet, published by Prometheus Books. He also wrote The Close Encounters Man, a biography of astronomer and UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek. In addition to writing books, Mark is a seasoned screenwriter with credits on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, and he teaches screenwriting at DePaul University in Chicago.

In this remastered classic episode of BarTalk, Andy wonders when events will come back, Jordan goes behind the music, Karl is very busy elsewhere, and Dan learns where Steely Dan got their name. Intro music is from "Coast to Coast" by Cory Gray.

Giving new meaning to “this song f*cks,” Super Furry Animals' 1996 single “The Man Don't Give a Fuck” is a psychedelic protest anthem built on a looped Steely Dan sample, fifty f-bombs, and a whole lot of righteous chaos.  In this episode, Yasi is once again joined by Scotswoman and known Super Furry Animals mega fan, Chloë Walsh, to make the case for this song's perfection (with a bunch of band lore and Welsh history shoehorned in, of course). From its origins as a B-side protest against the UK's Criminal Justice Act to its transformation into a ravey, 23-minute-long fan favorite gig-closer — “The Man Don't Give a Fuck” isn't just a song, it's a statement. A tanked-up, freaked-out, absolutely uncompromising statement. Let the sample loop. Let the synths soar. The man still don't give a f*ck.

Dylan Jones – writer, former editor of i-D, Arena and GQ - was 15 in 1975 and dressed like Henry McCullough of Wings (“a lot of denim and silk scarves”), a time he thinks had enormous influence on the following five decades. There are many highlights in his latest book ‘1975: The Year The World Forgot', a lot of them discussed here with David and Mark, including … … the lasting impact of the cover of Patti Smith's Horses. … the “frightening” Millie Jackson, 50 years ahead of her time. … why Blood On The Tracks was the first middle-aged rock album.  … the information black-out and the value of the ‘70s rock press - particularly Street Life – for such experimental music. … how the sarcasm of Steely Dan still feels contemporary – “Donald Trump is a figure they could have made up 50 years ago”. … the three key rhythms of the ‘70s – Fela Kuti's afro-beat, James Brown's funk and Klaus Dinger's Neu!-beat. … the reason Donna Summer's Love To Love You Baby is 17 minutes long. … how Brian Eno's accident led to the birth of ambient music.  … “writing about pop music allows you to write about anything”. … how the sophistication and intellect of the mid-‘70s was pilloried in Punk's Year Zero. … the Quiet Storm genre - aka “foreplay music” – from Sade to Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye. ... the unrecognised power of the female record-buyer and the sexism of the rock press. … and the greatest record of 1975! Pre-order ‘1975: The Year The World Forgot' here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/1975-World-Forgot-Dylan-Jones/dp/1408721988Help us to keep the conversation going by joining our worldwide Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
