I was a fan of Dan Deacon a few years back. He seemed like a good ol' troll: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eMb_kh_glw This music isn't for everyone. It's definitely hipster-esque. But now upon reflection, one of my old favorite record company's name has a new light. Domino Records. That's how I found Dan Deacon: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA8xMhX1DfxA8UKsfjn9vQg

I loved everything by Domino when I was a teen. But I'm just putting this out here just in case it helps.

He made this video which got really popular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdU635esPpQ

Isn't domino a reference to one of the emails. Play dominoes on cheese?

Isn't there a song called Deacon Blues by Steely Dan?

yes, the lyrics are quite dark:

"This is the day of the expanding man

That shape is my shade

There where I used to stand

It seems like only yesterday

I gazed through the glass

At ramblers, wild gamblers

That's all in the past

You call me a fool

You say it's a crazy scheme

This one's for real

I already bought the dream

So useless to ask me why

Throw a kiss and say goodbye

I'll make it this time

I'm ready to cross that fine line

Learn to work the saxophone

I play just what I feel

Drink Scotch whiskey all night long

And die behind the wheel

They got a name for the winners in the world

I want a name when I lose

They call Alabama the Crimson Tide

Call me Deacon Blues

My back to the wall

A victim of laughing chance

This is for me

The essence of true romance

Sharing the things we know and love

With those of my kind

Libations

Sensations

That stagger the mind

I crawl like a viper

Through these suburban streets

Make love to these women

Languid and bittersweet

I rise when the sun goes down

Cover every game in town

A world of my own

I'll make it my home sweet home

Learn to work the saxophone

I play just what I feel

Drink Scotch whiskey all night long

And die behind the wheel

They got a name for the winners in the world

I want a name when I lose

They call Alabama the Crimson Tide

Call me Deacon Blues

This is the night of the expanding man

I take one last drag

As I approach the stand

I cried when I wrote this song

Sue me if I play too long

This brother is free

I'll be what I want to be

I learned to work the saxophone

I play just what I feel

Drink Scotch whiskey all night long

And die behind the wheel

They got a name for the winners in the world

I want a name when I lose

They call Alabama the Crimson Tide

Call me Deacon Blues"
