Steely Effin’ Dan

Normally I hate Steely Dan. But lately the duo has been pretty damn funny. They’ve sent out two funny press releases recently. The second one is here and is for Wes Anderson.

(on removing stuff from soundtracks)
Same thing for the mandolins and the twelve-string stuff and the harpsichord, they’re out. You yourself may be partial to those particular instruments. We’re not. Remember, we saw .Tom Jones. in its original theatrical release when we were still in high school, we had to listen to .Walk Away Renee. all through college and we fucking opened for Roger McGuinn in the seventies, so all that “jingle-jangle morning” shit is no big thrill for us, OK?
