Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
This week will go down in history. It’s the week our No. 1 funky soul brother became our seriously real No. 1 funky soul brother!
Yep, that’s right crackers—Monday the nation closed shop, took time off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and watched Barack Obama get his groove on for a second term as “The Prez” of these here Untied States of America!
Sound-bites are running through my mind: “I’m Gonna Stay,” “Prove It To Me,” “I Can’t Loose,” “Keep The Faith,” “Needless To Say,” “Natural Man,” and of course, “Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)!”
It’s time we get to work and heal this fucking country. Yep, that is the job for this “Prez.” My job is to pitch in and help keep us rocking. The task at hand is this weekly Idelic Hour, the first half of which has a batch of amazing new songs from the coolest crop of 2013. The other half is just plain “Soul Galore.” God bless our Prez and the U.S. fucking A!
I just wanna shout “Groovy!”
The Idelic Hit of the Week:
Unknown Mortal Orchestra – So Good At Being In Trouble
