Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
“First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is… First there is a Mountain…”
Very groovy song with a very groovy concept. I have never heard anyone refer to Laurel Canyon as a mountain, but certainly it is a “hill,” (famously coined “The Hills”). The “spark” for this week’s Idelic Hour came from a blog post I saw. Remembering Mountains, a new album of Karen Dalton covers has just come out.
Sharon Van Etten’s haunting version of this long lost KD track is a gem. Everything about this cover from the title to its long gone author oozed thru my veins as I navigated a tricky week work. Mercury is indeed in retrograde again. Motherfuckers out there are coming unglued.
Be careful when you drive. We’ve seen a bunch of car wrecks and oil spills. Fuck—a ton of near misses as well.
Yes, remember the “mountain.” First there is one. Then there is…
