TVD’s The Idelic Hour with Jon Sidel

Greetings from Laurel Canyon!

As most of my friends know I’m a freak for fishing. Specifically deep-sea fishing off the coast of Mexico. Maybe this hobby sounds a bit odd for an Idelic rocker, but there’s definitely a spiritual side to being a fisherman at sea. There are so many factors on a long journey. One thing is for sure, when you are far out at sea, you are in a deep and changing wilderness.

Wednesday morning the good ship Shogun arrived back in San Diego. Adrift for five days I was totally “off grid.” No phone, no email, no job worries, no family dilemmas—just the seas, a rod, hook, and a hand flu of companions. I barely listened to a note, just the sound of the ocean and vessel. I arrived home woozy and very relaxed. So relaxed I didn’t want to touch my stride. I spent most of Wednesday listening to classic rock and reading Mojo magazine.

I’ll call it a well deserved break in my action.

Yesterday it was back to work. So many emails! Hours of catching up. One thing I noticed, in my rush to drive south I had mistakenly sent last week’s Idelic Hour—to myself—instead of The Vinyl District. So this week’s show was actually meant to be my “Idelic gone fishin'” episode. It’s based on a notion that an hour of my ipod on random shuffle is as cool an hour as any.

So, enjoy this set of random classics mixed with a few newcomers—Lia Ices, Dub Thompson, No Parents, Total Control, Broncho, and A Sunny Day In Glasgow. Yeah, it got me to the dock on time.

Next week, back to the grind…

The Idelic Hit of the Week:
