I dreamt that music critic #RobertChristgau and I were in a large, high-ceilinged room where he housed his massive record collection. I asserted that the best #SteelyDan song of all isn't found on any Dan album; rather it was the Becker/Fagen-penned "American Lovers" that #ThomasJeffersonKaye once recorded. He nodded his approval, danced around a bit, and sang the lyrics back to me a cappella: "You may be the last to walk in the garden / Your life should be living to love one another / And it is no crime to walk with your brother"

The Lounge Lizards: Live From the Drunken Boat [Europa, 1983]

Divested not only of fifth columnist Arto Lindsay but of all the guitar's vulgar "rock"-tinged associations, the Lizards get beau ideal Teo Macero to produce a studio album in live drag. They sound like an arty jazz combo who've landed a month at a pretentious cocktail lounge in Minneapolis, or Brussels. Sometimes they gear their originals to what they deem the declasse ambience of the place, other times they say fuck it and lay down the simplified Cecil Taylor dearest to their hearts. They're better when they lower themselves. And they don't make it past Saturday night. B
