TVD’s The Idelic Hour with Jon Sidel

Greetings from Laurel Canyon!

The last few nights it’s felt like winter is finally creeping toward our little canyon. This week’s sunny days have been a hell of a lot warmer than people’s attitudes. Some “cold ass shit” has gone down. So, what better time than to snuggle up to a playlist of love songs.

About of month ago I heard an old 60’s Chess 7-inch on Diddy Wah. The record was called, “Dynamite Lovin” by Jackie Ross and it was love at first listen. I knew right there and then, a new lover’s playlist was a-coming.



Growing up as a record collector, I have always been into 7-inch records. This week’s playlist contains no less than seven 45’s. In the end, the set contains one half northern soul rarities and another half just amazing new records—the lion’s share sung by chicks. The quality of most of these new records is fairly “chillin.”

Hot off the press Idelic favorites: Atlas Sounds and the impressive Florence and The Machine start the party. The Stepkids, Friends, Purity Ring, Caveman, Polica make this an explosive session.
