Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Many of us in the rock ‘n roll biz travel the country much of the Summer. As July rolls into August, most of the country finds itself drenched in Summer heat, and in Small Town USA as sun and humidity pound time to a crawl, the midday vibe becomes so dense, only sweat and beer get us to do anything, yet we’re traveling toward another state line.
Much to our “Idelic delight,” Summertime is often cool here in Laurel Canyon, and like this year, most Julys are forgiving. This weather reminds me of the Summer of 1985. It was my first LA Summer and I was blown away by how mild those nights were. Fuck man, did we have a blast those Summer nights of ’85!
Back on the top of this week’s playlist. My muse? A sweltering afternoon on Main Street in a Small Town USA. I tried to keep the pace of most of the hour slow…as a hot Summer’s day.
By the set’s end, we’ll blow off a bit of steam and head back to the heartland…
The Idelic Hit of the Week:
Savages – City’s Full
