TVD’s The Idelic Hour with Jon Sidel

Greetings from Laurel Canyon!

We’ve come a long, long way together / Through the hard times and the good / I have to celebrate you, baby / I have to praise you like I should

I’m having deja vu writing about the first days of the new year being like a blank canvas. Call this week’s “Idelic column” a rerun, but I have say that when it comes to my music consumption, I find myself a total creature of habit. I’ve spent the weeks from Thanksgiving to the new year listening to my favorite songs.

I’m a listener—looking, searching, seeking inspiration. Someone mentioned Mercury is in retrograde so I’m taking cues from this week’s playlist. I’m “taking my time,” but ready to move on to new pastures.

And “celebrating you baby!” All of you indeed.
