In the Glasgow Herald

Interview...

"...Jones's unique DJ-ing style. Actually, "style" might be a little excessive when it comes to describing the casual approach he adopts. "I'm not afraid of dead air," he says, and I believe him. He'll spin half a dozen tunes in a row (all his own choices), start telling you who they were, forget what he played halfway through, ask his producer for help, then give up and launch into an anecdote about his own personal link to one of the bands, which will more often than not involve his stealing their amps or microphones back in the seventies."

* *********************An excerpt from today's (12/28) L.A. Times
article about Jonesy's Jukebox.


/"When the radio pitchmen who do the "Real Men of Genius" ads for
Bud Light praised the brand recently, Jonesy hammered away at them
to admit that, deep down, they must agree that all American beers
taste of urine. The squirming was nearly audible over the air.
"You don't drink this stuff, do you?" the DJ pokes. Later, off
air, he chuckles. "They're so showbiz they never expected someone
to do that on the air. But that beer can't be good." / *

Jonesy interview

"You're on billboards now, aren't you?

Yeah, it's crazy. It's really nuts, but it just goes to show you how starved people were for something decent on the radio in LA. It was absolute crap before Indie came along, I just mean rubbish.

& playing the Knitting Factory in L.A. tonight. Told a story about

which unbeknowst to her turned out to be-you guessed it-hash
brownies.Somehow they got on the subject of shampoo. Steve uses a

it in two weeks!" Jonesy replies. Steve played Sid's version of
