Do It Again
Andrew and Oli dive right in with album one, track one - the Latin-flavoured, sitar-seasoned barnstormer 'Do It Again'.
Lots of meta-Danchat to kick us off, including an extended monologue on the album itself and a reduction of Becker and Fagen to schoolyard caricatures. Also our most inebriated episode, by some measure.
"I think you're gonna be on board the choo-choo Dan Train."

Hi Andy. Thanks for listening and for your feedback. The structure was kind of forming on-the-fly with this episode (it was edited down from a monster three-hour chat). The next few are more song focused, with varying doses of silliness 👍🥨

Honest opinion? A bit too much fluff and not enough meat. I’d lose some of the ‘in-banter’ (that friends obviously have) that slightly lost me and concentrate on dissecting the song more. The other problem you have is that Dan songs tend towards the deceptively prosaic and only start to make sense after repeated plays. Also, most of their songs seem to me to be clever showcases of the highest musical talent and therefore only musicians can truly appreciate them. Having said that, keep it going!
