Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Turn me on to phantoms / I follow to the edge of the earth / And fall off / Everybody leaves / If they get the chance / And this is my chance / I get eaten by the worms / Weird fishes
Last week I was talking about the weather, and this week?
Not much has really changed. Well some shit has happened. Our LA Rams lost in a boring Super Bowl, and LA music fans took it out on poor Maroon 5. Fuck, the Maroon boys do their best to be an LA band, make loot, and slay chicks.
This has pretty much nothing to do with the songs I play on the Idelic Hour. In my mind we are at the dawn of a second “medieval time.” The Idelic Hour is meant to share music that lifts the spirit and the soul. It’s my small way of helping—and this week’s playlist is filled with meat, onions, chicken, and fish. I got turned on to this new Sleaford Mods record and loved the idea of making a playlist of songs about food that make up a “kebab.”
Yes, call me crazy or wack, but I’ll put my playlist of songs up against any Grammy playlist you can find. Oh yeah, the Grammys are in town and so is my mom. Grannies and Grammys this weekend.
Keep your shirts on, stay warm, and enjoy the celebration of medieval music. My vote for best song…”Kebab!”
Idelic Single of the Week: Sleaford Mods – Kebab Spider
