Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Be careful ‘Cause I’m an ax Victim / Hung up on these silver strings / Like Wings / Like time machines… / Like voices in the winds
Voices in the winds? I’ll say. The weather here in the canyon this week has been classic pre trick o’ treat—dry, windy and hot as fuck. Dirt, ash, and fairy dust fill the air. Blood boils and cauldrons brew toward Hallow’s Eve. We are, after all, in the city of angels and it’s the season that kicks up the magic around these parts. And the nights become dark. Darker than dark.
Although I’m obviously feeling the magic today, I’ve sidestepped this year’s Halloween hype. Is it me or has it been a bit low-key year this year? Maybe the shadow of 2017 is softening the “boo” out of trick o’ treat?
Well, to be sure, Stranger Things will happen. I’m gonna try not be scared of the dark because this week’s All Hallows playlist is all about embracing darkness.
See ya’ in Pedro for Growler’s “Six” Sunday. Weather looks….Boo! Rock on!
The Idelic Hit of the Week: Rey Pila – Fangs
