Hey, peeps, as you might know, I dig Steely Dan. Their music is a tasty mix of jazzy licks, R & B rhythms, pulp novels, and Roget's Thesaurus all enwrapped under a smooth pop patina.
Here's a clip I ripped from their DVD, Classic Albums - Steely Dan: Aja. This clip is about the recording of their seminal radio hit "Peg." It's a gas listening to Chuck Rainey's take on that tune's awesome bass track. Other interesting bits include Becker and Fagen's review of the various guitar solos recorded but never used on the track.
So kick off your high-heeled sneakers, grab some Cuervo Gold, and the fine Colombian and make tonight a wonderful thing...

Hey, I'm listening to the Dan right now! A healthy appreciation for their music is one of the great things my parents instilled in me. I found this weird house remix of "Peg" floating around the internet. You can download it here if you want. Be warned, it's VERY house.

Awesome, thanks for sharing that link. I dig the tune. In 1989, old school days, the hiphop, duo De La Soul sampled “Peg” and “FM” for their song “Eye Know.”

Gotta love them Danny Boys. That's two for two, Waggle - the Records and those metal dildo guys.
