If you’ve never gotten into the Channel 101 cult mockumentary series Yacht Rock, consider this your chance—they’ve just released their much-anticipated Episode 11, and the guys at the SEEN RCRD LBL blog are all about it. In a nutshell, Yacht Rock is a fake VH1-style soft rock history program hosted by a bespectacled music nerd named Hollywood Steve. In fictionalizing relationships and rivalries between artists such as Hall & Oates, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins and Toto, Yacht Rock takes the viewer back to a time when men were men, beards were really important, and no human could overcome the power of a really smooth groove. It’s definitely the greatest musical satire since This Is Spinal Tap, and we’ve obsessively watched every episode at least five times. At a recent screening of the series at the Knitting Factory in NY (where Episode 11 was premiered!) we kind of scared ourselves with our ability to recite aloud every line. We posted #11 above, and also check out or favorite episode of the series below: #4, or Toto's "Rosanna"
