Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky / Where the beams of your love-light chase / Don’t move, don’t speak, don’t feel no pain / With the rain running down my face
Your matches still light up the sky / And many a tear lives on in my eye
Down in the city just Hoople and me / Don’t I love her so / Ooh Don’t I love him so
Hope you enjoyed Memorial Day weekend. My Idelic long weekend set was stymied again by tech issues on my computer, but thanks to a new friend my addiction to broadcasting continues. So here I am dropping records for imaginary lovers driving fearlessly into the desert night.
Being a Southern Californian, long summer weekends always have me reaching to classic rock for long drives. As I drove south, the radio was blaring hits from 1974—the year that found me wandering the streets of New York City. Record stores were plenty and essential. There was five shops within two blocks of our apartment.
Everything about those records looked and felt like magic. Mixed a few of my favorite from 50 years back with a few recent releases.
Back on track.
Idelic Single of the Week: Niina Soleil – See Red
