yacht rock
 

anyone else seen this? i was on chicagoist.com and it linked to this video about the rise of kenny loggins and hall & oates - very funny homemade (?) show?

the expletives fly as well as the fun.

back alley duel episode 2, 5min.

this was surprisingly good

i hate youtube because it has turned me into a junkie for any weird little funny thing, but this made me laugh. episodes 1, 3, and 10 are my favorites.

Steely Dan and the very angry Oates get me every time.

Mariner, do you sail the seas of smooth music?

I'm going to check into other channel101 shows, yacht rock sold me on the value of internet programming.

homechicago, you have no idea

i only play the smoothest tunes for my passengers

that's a groove i can dig. does christopher cross join your crew for the smooth cruises?

yes, but under what until just now i thought was an assumed name, for anonymity's sake. thanks to yacht rock, i've just learned it's his real name...

i enjoyed those. thank you for posting them

his music is used for good in episode 5 as well. his koko-given name yields magical powers...

hey, bringing the word of smooth grooves to people is my new mission in life.

if you haven't checked out all 10 episodes, watch episode 6 for the story of the tull.

my dads old hippie friend, well I guess he still probably is a hippie, made this video. it's his band or something from the drug hazed days of yore. yeah this doesnt belong in this thread but I like to stir things up

that was really cringe inducing

episode 7 of yacht rock has an r-rated intro (in case anyone decides to watch all ten at work)

thought i'd mention that

i'm surprised james ingram's "ya mo be there" of 40 year old virgin fame wasn't woven into an episode. dr. dre was a nice surprise, but "ya mo be there" deserved some attention.
