We found a lot of old VHS tapes in our storage and have started to digitalize them. Some of the interviews were broadcasted on Dutch TV, so they are in Dutch. Please let us know what you think? We'll try to add more in the next couple of months.

Steely Dan meme showing a cartoon girl straddling a cartoon boy. The caption reads "read '33 1/3: Aja' by Don Breithaupt with me and we'll end up like this"

Seriously, if you haven't read the book, do it.

Thanks ChatGPT:

A meme using a scene from Person of Interest to humorously depict the recording process of the famous guitar solo in Steely Dan's song Peg:

Top panel: A man (labeled "THE 'PEG' GUITAR SOLO") sits confidently while two women behind him, aiming guns, are labeled "ROBBEN FORD" and "RICK DERRINGER"—both guitarists who attempted the solo but were rejected.
Bottom panel: Another figure aiming a sniper rifle from a distance is labeled "JAY GRAYDON," the guitarist who ultimately played the solo that made it onto the final recording.

Top Image: Miranda Cosgrove from the original iCarly series, sitting at a white computer desk and holding a soda can. She has a slight, knowing smile as she looks at the monitor. Text overlay reads: "me watching 'classic albums: steely dan - aja' in 2000".

Bottom Image: An adult Miranda Cosgrove from the iCarly revival, sitting in a similar pose at a modern computer, holding a canned beverage with the same expression. Text overlay reads: "me watching 'classic albums: steely dan - aja' in 2026".
