Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Normally I “cut” the Idelic Hour late Thursday nights, often after dinner or taking in a show in Hollywood. This week’s Idelic episode is different. After all, not only is it Friday the 13th but it’s a special Friday at that. Today is my birthday!
I hesitate to use an exclamation point at my age, but with all the shit that goes down year after year, I’m just grateful to be at “the party” with family, friends…and yeah, with my ever growing record collection!
So every now and then I get to have my birthday on Friday the 13th! Pretty fucking cool.
In celebration I came up with with an inspiring muse for this week’s show. What first came to mind sprung from a recent fascination with early Stones albums in mono. Of course, none other than Keith Richards is one of December’s children and will be 70 next week! If you happen to be a Sagittarius, you might have noticed that we born in December tend to get along and rock the fuck out!
So, with that in mind, I thought I’d put together a Sagittarian Club playlist of 113 minutes. Check it—mostly heavy dudes and tough brawds. What a lot!
