Dumb web sites

Laist.com try to be all snarky anti-indie/pro-Kroq ( ooh how subversive ) but end up with the most comments they have ever had on any topic telling them how stupid they are. Link
and then blogging.la tries to do the same thing..link and show their real sadness by talking about podcasts as a viable medium and only getting 2 comments.

..kicking against the ..

Some fight for the station.
"Let us note at this time that Jonesy’s Jukebox has been particularly successful in poaching KROQ listeners. Indeed, if given the choice between Hoobastank and a cockney ex-junkie playing Foreigner and Sweet, sensible young men choose the latter. "

" Most of all, X should be played at least once an hour, for the remainder of our lives, on L.A. radio. "

Guest:Adam Sandler

Adam counseled Jonesy on his problems with birds. We learn that
Jonesy has never said "I love you" to a bird!!!(at least not in
the serious,romantic sense) and often gets a "blank stare" after
listening to a bird talk for more than five minutes...Steve once
had some French bulldogs that "chewed the leg" of a friend's dog.
He returned the dogs to their breeder shortly after that. His
boxer Winston died of a brain tumor a few years ago.

Adam just finished filming "The Longest Yard" with Burt Reynolds,
Chris Rock and Nelly. and Music included more Journey, Loverboy &

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."

/"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. The same 10 fucking songs over and over and over again, 10 horrible songs. People get excited now, "God! it's two minutes to 12, get ready, we gotta put Jonesy's Jukebox on!"

eat the chocolate and watch the bird in her high heels." he said.

dustmen day


Today was Dustman's Day at Steve's, he found it "comic" that Mr.
Shovel was in attendance at a Professionals show in Detroit 25
years ago and now they are working together in L.A. Mr. Shovel was
searching the Internet for info on the Dimebag Darrell/Damageplan
shooting in Ohio. "I wouldn't want to see video of that," said
Steve. "It's like the "Faces of Death" (the video series). It
stays stuck in your noggin & contaminates your head"

Hollywood United won the league championship, Steve got a "proper"
massage yesterday and the in-studio webcam is operational. "A Sex
Pistol Has Sex"-- Jonesy told a story about hanging out in Chile
after a Pistols tour and "pulling" a bird. The bloke he was
hanging out with suggested Steve and the bird use his apartment
for the tryst instead of a hotel room. While Steve and the girl
were "doing the business", Steve noticed a hidden camera taping
the action. He confiscated and destroyed the offending tape, so we
won't be seeing it on the Internet.
