TVD’s The Idelic Hour with Jon Sidel

Greetings from Laurel Canyon!

An astrologer once told me upon reading my “chart,” I would spend much of my life roaming alone at night. For me it was never a secret, the night has always been a friend.

These past months, on many a night, I have driven LA boulevards listening to the making of a record—an extraordinary album by Sean Rowe, an artist I work with. Last week Sean debuted a single from this very special release. The song “Bring Back The Night” is a calling, and the muse for this week’s Idelic Hour.


It’s a fact that all the great songwriters have at least one “cut” about the night. Thank you Sean for bringing back these “nights” for me. I’m not sure what your song title means but when I was checking up on some of the songs for this week’s playlist, I stumbled on this quote for the song “Nightfall” by The Incredible String Band:

“The hangman is death and the beautiful daughter is what comes after. Or you might say that the hangman is the past twenty years of our life and the beautiful daughter is now, what we are able to do after all these years. Or you can make up your own meaning – your interpretation is probably just as good as ours.”

I love this.

By the way, Sean Rowe’s album is called The Salesman and The Shark. I wonder what that means?
