We’ve noted often that Jon Sidel’s Idelic Hour, TVD’s Friday afternoon podcast, is the beating heart and soul of our endeavor. As we count down to the Idelic Hour’s 100th hour this Friday, we’ve asked Jon to share 5 of his favorites all this week. —Ed.
ORIGINALLY AIRED FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 2010 | Spending Father’s Day with both my kids got me thinking about being a “papa.” One of the first words out of 23 month old Jonah was “rocking.” Amazingly this kid is already practicing his windmills!
My hip teenager daughter Zoe is often in the car helping me click away at the i-pod, compiling songs for my Idelic playlist. When it comes to making the scene Zoe is on the dance floor with LCD, MIA, and Edward Sharpe, but when it comes to requests she is really about the “oldies.” She seems to go for anything on Specialty Records, go figure!
The weekend left feeling warm and loose but then I came down with a wicked 24 hour flu bug. Thank god my recovery was quick—it left me “extra loose” and grateful for the health of family and friends. A simple thought to inspire this playlist with some cool daddy swagger, soul, and a couple new bands that are filling my cup of late.
