Joe McAlhany and Scott Beckett explore the enduring allure of Steely Dan, a band whose music has been described as "...among the most genuinely subversive ouevres in late 20th-century pop." Each week we advance chronologically through the band's discography and discuss one song by the Dan, and two related creative works as chosen by the hosts.

Episode 1: Inside the Ballad of “Do It Again”

Scott and Joe commence their journey through the Steely Dan discography with track one, side one from Can’t Buy a Thrill (1972), the “noodly” “Do It Again.” They then go deep on the parallels between Steely Dan and the Coen brothers, specifically focusing on Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018). If you want to hear the boys get to philosophizin’ on fatalism, fuckups, and electric sitars, you’re in the right place. Plus: Scott does a pretty great off-the-cuff Stephen Root impersonation.
