TVD’s The Idelic Hour with Jon Sidel

Greetings from Laurel Canyon!

Many months ago I took my son to a birthday party for a 2 year old boy named Kidd. How rocking is the concept of naming your kid…Kidd!? (Funny, I actually have a second friend who’s boy is named Kiddo.) So anyway, lil Kidd had a Thomas Train party and that was pretty cool. For party favors we all got a mix CD of favorite train songs to listen to with your son.

To be honest the first thing I thought was that Kidd’s Trains was such a cool mix, maybe I’d take a week off and just post Kidd’s mix as my Idelic for the week. Instead, I choose to pursue doing my own version of a mix dedicated to trains. After all, trains travel with soul, well so I think?

A while back I was hanging with Alex Ebert chatting about seeing the film Festival Express. The image of Pig Pen, Janis, Graham Parsons, and Delanie & Bonnie all riding high across the Canadian countryside is pretty cool. Hearing the amazing fact that Ebert somehow pulled off his own train ride festival, a railroad tour became the destination for this week’s Idelic Hour muse.

For many months I’ve been stashing aside records about trains. Finally, on the eve of The Railroad Revival Tour, I give you Idelic “All Aboard!”

In the mix, The Wailers are trying to stop it, while The Yardbirds keep it rolling, The Cure are jumping someone else’s, and Harry doesn’t think anyone cares?

All Aboard!
