Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Every time just like the last / On her ship tied to the mast / To distant lands / Takes both my hands / Never a frown with golden brown
Golden brown, finer temptress / Through the ages she’s heading west / From far away / Stays for a day / Never a frown with golden brown
As Jon, the editor of The Vinyl District knows, I tend to dig chatting about the weather. It’s a habit that runs in both my wife’s and my family. I’m not exactly sure if there is some symbolic, underlying meaning to this heritage. I guess we’re just passing time or interested in the weather?
Well, so how is the weather?
Here in LA? It’s mostly pretty good, think you!
In fact this past week the weather has been magical. That was up until this morning—there’s a fire burning in Porter Ranch about 20 miles northeast. If not for this morning’s slightly smoky haze, today would be absolutely “golden.”
OK, I’m setting you up for this week’s Idelic Hour muse. This week, I dug through my records thinking about the golden, sunny desert days of fall. I dig listening to songs thinking about what it would be like driving on a desert road. Maybe that’s something to talk about. I guess for today it’s an hour of songs.
What are you listening to on the way to #DesertDayz?
Have fun, and don’t forget yer sunscreen and sweat for nighttime.
