Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Thank G it’s fucking Friday (“TGIFF”! )—a sweltering one here in the Canyon. You know you’ve had a weird and stressful week when your ol’ lady hands you a small bottle of Rescue Remedy. Fuck me, ha ha!
All I can say is that it’s Friday the 13th—and I feel a bit better after blasting out an hour of tunes into the sky. Most of this playlist has the magic number of “13” in mind, but there is certainly a fair share of new music I am listening in preparation for next week’s SXSW.
I’m not thrilled to be headed to Texas next week but I have a long-standing tradition of late winter visits dating back to the days I owned a club in Houston. It almost seems creepy that I was kicking around the rock and club scene in Texas that long ago.
I remember my first day in Houston. I was taken to a bar where the drinks were 19 cents! I pull out a twenty-dollar bill and stood on the bar rail and proudly announced, “To my new friends, DRINKS ARE ON ME!”
A LOT of things have changed since those day of innocence. I won’t go there…just Austin next week. Look for me if you make it.
In meantime check Idelic “13” for dark psychedelic moments…
The Idelic Hit of the Week:
Tame Impala – Let It Happen
Who’s going to Texas next week for SXSW? Check my Texas winter of 87…
