Special News
As I am now an official contributor to this blog, I'd like to take this moment to announce some very special news: Steely Dan is starting a new tour. They are going to the United States again after their european tour, to begin their Rent Party 09 tour. I am extremely excited, and their site has also mentioned the announcement of other "exciting new developments". As the tour is called "Rent Party", my theory is that this is a foreshadowing of the release of a new album! As their last album was "Everything must go", the announcement of a "Rent party" signals the re-emergence of the "business", and their rent party is the tour that will kick it off. I am checking the site each day, and once they announce their concert date in or around Seattle or Vancouver, I will be sure to make another post. Thanks Walter and Don!

well according widipedia, a rent party is party where they hire musicians, then pass the hat to pay rent. So it seems that D&W need more money, and that's why they are continuing their touring so relentlessly.
ReplyDeleteI wish their tour had been called "back in business" as a more obvious clue to a new album, but then D&W are not exactly known for being obvious. Hope you're right Adam.
