Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Well, I never paid the rent / And I never paid no telephone bill / And I ain’t never had a job / And I’m glad and I hope I never will / But my mom yesterday / She asked me how I was doin’ / I said I’m pretty good / But I don’t know if I’m gonna eat today / I don’t know if I’m gonna eat today / But I’m gonna try… / I’m gonna try, try, try… / I swear to God, I’m gonna try…
My perception of time is warped, or the world is spinning at a vicious rate. Likely both. Many of us seem to be hanging onto the rails for our lives. The view from this “ferris wheel” we’ll call “023,” is beautiful but treacherous. Personally, I try to be heathy but as the day gets long I look for treats.
I do often start the day with oatmeal. It warms my soul on cold winter mornings. So does a voice, or a line from a song.
This week’s Idelic Hour started with a crate of records I compiled a few weeks ago. Funny, most of those discs remain unchecked as I’ve opted to play an assortment of new releases mixed with an odd, a sod, and a nod to Dixi D, and fond memories of playing in bands.
After all it is March Madness, St. Patrick’s Day, and SXSW!
Life’s a gas, will A&R for food.
Idelic Single of the Week: Baxter Dury – Aylesbury Boy ft. JGrrey
Yours truly at SXSW circa 2005. Some things never change.
