Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Another Friday is in the books and by next week the first month of 2017 will have flown the coup. It feels like the beginning of something. I think the scary question is, “the beginning of what?” To quote Young Fathers’ new song from Trainspotting 2, “Only God Knows.”
So, with this said, all that remains is really tons and tons of stuff. Ha ha! This week I’ve been working hard and listening to music. I realized I’ve managed to not get overwhelmed with politics, Facebook, and the news on TV—and that’s a cool thang.
For this week’s Idelic Hour I focused on skinny chicks and mud—I kinda dig both. Fuck man, after all it rained like hell here in canyon this week. It was likely the biggest storm in last ten years. The power went off for almost eight hours.
I was truly grateful when the heat and lights came back on. “True gratitude” is hard to come by. Yes, southern Californians freak out when it rains—and of course I dropped a ton of great new records in the mix.
Thought of the day: keep what was cool 30 years ago cool today. I’m putting on my old boots and jacket!
I’m rambling—bye!
The Idelic Hit of the Week: Young Fathers – Only God Knows ft. Leith Congregational Choir
My old “snorkel” jacket and the Radio Mud button are from 1988. Wearing it!
