I Can't Stop Playing This Song


Steely Dan's "Lunch With Gina". At least 50 times in the past week alone.

Keith Carlock is a monster, Fagen's synth solo is as good as it gets and then there's those rhythm guitars!
Coffee and a kiss
Maybe later maybe never
Lunch with Gina...

sadly EMG was mostly ignored by the masses

saw them in Albuquerque excellent show
and Raleigh on the TaN tour

Pixileen is about a cyber reality godess ala Laura Craft

I don't find EMG quite up to TAN, but it sure is fun. I'd listen to either one 50 times before I'd make it all the way through Gaucho once. (Aja's still the peak.)

"Things I Miss the Most" is my favorite on EMG. But I don't find it so much poignant, like Jayboard, because it's so damned unromantic. He misses the talk, yes, and the sex (who wouldn't?), but it's clear that she was loaded, and the majority of what he misses are things her houses on Martha's Vinyard and the Gulf coast, the Audi TT, and yes those nice pans. (I prefer All-Clad myself.) He has the things he misses itemized, and they have little to do with her, but instead with her stuff. But I guess it can be unromantic and still poignant. Poor guy was having sex in the house on the Vinyard, and now he's curling up with a girlie magazine. Almost brings a tear.
Onhwy61 - Keith Carlock maybe a monster, but it didn't hurt to have Chris Potter's sax on this cut.

If you're looking for something else to play, get the Chris Potter Quartet- "Lift- Live at the Village Vanguard."

Also, the SD CD sounds better after a spin on the Audio Desk Systeme. With a little trim, Gina is a knockout,
but "hey where have I been?"
Kana813, every performance on the song is wonderful, I specifically mentioned Carlock because prior to this album I had never heard of him. That's my loss. Chris Potter needs no introduction, he's an artist, a pioneer, and we got to have some music in the new frontier.
