Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
I’ve been looking to do a “rock set” for some weeks now and thought I’d take advantage of the long weekend ahead to do what the Idelic Hour is all about—rocking a mix that puts new music in context alongside the “classics.”
When I think of Memorial Day I think of classic rock, kegs, speed, weed, and sweat. It’s a coming out party to welcome the lazy days of summer ahead.
This week’s mix is also a coming out for a crop of new bands who I dare say “rockkkkkk.” Lead by the new and incredible sounds of Black Lips, People’s Temple, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Ty Segall, Gross Relations, and The War On Drugs.
Open up the garage doors, plug in and blow some air. Grab a beer and keep it simple…
The Idelic Hit of the Week: Black Lips | New Direction
