Greetings from New York City!
A frigid NYC, I may add. I’ve been hearing about the bitter winter most of the country has been dealing with these last couple of months and I’m back here on the lower east side feeling like I’m in the center of the arctic circle!
I was thinking I can bear the cold outside much easier than the dry heat and yucky air in these heated offices, taxis, and restaurants, but that was until last night when the temp started dropping from bitter—to absurd.
Fuck me, get me home to my warm and cozy garage in my good ol’ Laurel Canyon. My dancing days in NYC were fun in the ’80s, but now it’s another gen’s turn. Ah, to be young in New York City. I wish it upon you all.
With that in mind, this week’s Idelic Hour features ten young New York bands you need to know: Spirit Family Reunion, San Fermin, Tanlines, Nicole Atkins, Skaters, Wet, Autre Ne Vous, Parquet Courts, Blood Orange, and Cerebral Ballzy.
It’s too cold to type, so listen and warm your hearts.
The Idelic Hit of the Week:
Skaters – To Be Young In NYC
