Smooth Disco
So I was a little embarrassed when Ian posted the yacht rock videos. See I was caught with my sailors hat on. But I didn't really know I was all yacht rock. I hadn't found an identity group yet, I was still just calling it smooth disco. This all explains why my favorite song on Beirut's new album Gulag Orkestar, sort of had a nice smooth beat that would be nice to sail to. "Scenic World" is an exception to the more eastern inspired songs of Beirut, and a well met one at that. While this song does not fully exemplify my vision, it is the correct start.
Here is how I see it. First we had the folk revival, which is being followed by the bands that sound like the band. What we will have next is phil spector/girl group doo-wop pop that will make everyone bop. Things being as they are, I think the yacht rock stands a chance as future music revival trend. Mark my words. It is just so damn smooth.

I always knew you had a little hall and oates in your blood. And now that i picture your bearded self wearing a sailor cap, it's becoming all too clear to me. Next thing I know you'll be in a steeley dan/jimmy buffet cover band playing the kelowna bar scene at happy hour.
