He was pals with Steely Dan wasn't he? Isn't there a rumour that he played drums in an early version of the band?
In Becker & Fagen's liner notes to the current edition of Can't Buy A Thrill, Chase is one of several people cited as having declined an invitation to join. Loudon Wainwright III is another, which is even stranger to me (I mean, it's not as if they were going to let him write for the group!).

No matter what you think of her voice, the production and arrangements are flawless.
Isn't he the prick who thought calling his band Rapeman was a funny jape?
If so he's still an asshole no matter how good a production he does.

Why did you pick three tracks from it then for the psych mp3 set?

I was able to show him the error of his ways...
Becker produced two albums for China Crisis in the late 80s. Rumours that Fagen was "keen to get a collaboration going" with Fiction Factory never amounted to anything, though.

Off topic slightly, but is the second CC/WB collaboration like the first? I really like Flaunt the Imperfection.

3) One of the songs recorded at the Nashville session, "Watch Yourself", is co-credited to one "L. Wray". This isn't so surprising in itself, really - Link's a DC homeboy, too. What is strange about it is that the song is pretty much a blatant rip-off of "Watch Your Step" by Bobby Parker, another DC legend (the record that famously "inspired" the riffs for both "I Feel Fine" and "Day Tripper"!).
