Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Love her / And tell her each day / That girl needs to know / Tell her so / Tell her everything I couldn’t say / Like she’s warm / And she’s sweet / And she’s fine / Oh, love her / Like I should have done
It really wasn’t until deep into the week that I realized today is Valentine’s Day. As a holiday it’s a mixed bag. It can be sexy, fun, and romantic—but just as easily, bitter and lonely.
It was actually my years owning bars, clubs, and restaurants that brought on my love for making “mix tapes,” which in turn became the urge to DJ on the radio (KCRW) which became my obsession (call it diary) we know as The Idelic Hour.
The first initial mix tapes were for Valentine’s dinner at my restaurant The Olive. The concept was to create a romantic vibe that reached to…
Let’s just say, desert.
So, in short, some of my favorite love songs kick off this Valentine’s “groundhog hearts” episode.
Enjoy.
Idelic Single of the Week: Bnny – Love Trap
