Fred's Free Records 8 -

Hi folks! I'm back in the saddle with another classic. This is certainly one of my favourite albums of all time and could even be number one - Donald Fagen of Steely Dan's first solo album The Nightfly. Packed with goodies (I.G.Y., Maxine, Ruby Baby) but of course the smasheroo is New Frontier and here's the AWESOME video - it's one of the first animated / live action music videos with a great message and if you haven't seen it you're in for a treat.

All together: "Now I can't wait / Till I move to the city / Till I finally make up my mind / To learn design / And study overseas." I've played this track out a lot and used it in many a mix - it goes especially well with speed garage. I tried to clear it for The Triptych but Mr Fagen himself nixed it by fax which is still kinda nice.

So if you want a vinyl copy of this album delivered to your door at my expense plus a random Fredmix CD then just tweet your answer to this question: Who should cover this song? Don't forget the hashtag #fredsfreerecords - I'll chip in now and then and announce a winner after lunch on Friday. Have fun!

Ace video and ace track, no idea who should cover it, although I think "Tomorrow's Girls" from the Kamikiriad album is better with it's sweet tight bassline...

[Firestopper]

Answer : The Doobie Brothers.

Or Sade ?

Anyhoo, as I dont Twatter, heres my two pennith.

Thanks for the vid, which I hadnt seen before.

My vinyl copy of The Nightfly's grooves were almost worn out many years ago.
And I agree, its well in my top ten all time albums.
And the cover was just the epitomy of cool.
Worthy of bein mounted in a frame and hung ?
Can you still buy Chesterfield Kings ?

And, I agree about the Fagen rebuff.
Havin the the evidence of that may just be cooler than actually usin the sample on Tryptych ?

Fred, check the thread on the Jelly place mate, peeps are feelin a bit unwanted due to your Twittishness of late. :-0

Hope all is good wi you n yours kidda.

:-)
