Quotation of the Day for February 2, 2012"[It's] like being present for the arrival of a time machine. But not one from any particular past, or future; this music managed (as it always has) to transcend the duller registers of the cultural calendar. It's as though it was composed in the time machine, in its own little pocket of temporality. I suspect that this is somehow the result of an encyclopedic sense of American music, an effortlessly graceful facility at collage and that patented Steely Dan studio wax, as though one were listening down through a hundred coats of hand-rubbed sonic carnauba..." - William Gibson, in his 2012 essay collection Distrust That Particular Flavor, on Steely Dan's album Two Against Nature.
