McLaren

Malcolm McLaren was the Guest today.
" I have STUFF to sell..."

Maybe the Lydon guest appearance isnt so far off.

Malcolm McLaren


Guest:Malcolm McLaren. Steve and Malcolm see each other for the
first time in 10 years. "Where's my money?" sez Steve as his
opening shot. Jonesy and Malcolm had a good time during the
interview w/ both of 'em laughing a lot, esp. Malcolm with that
jovial/creepy laugh of his. Malcolm told a story about how invited
John to audition for the Pistols. Vivenne (Westwood) told Malcolm
"There's this really handsome bloke named John who hangs out at
the shop. You should get him to be the singer." So, Malcolm
auditions John (you know the story, John sings "I'm 18" in front
of the jukebox at the Roebuck Pub.) and he's in the band. When
Malcolm sees Vivenne again, she goes "No!!! That was the wrong
John!!" The John she was referring to was John Simon Ritchie (Sid
Vicious). "You're going to have trouble with that one!" predicted
Vivenne. Malcolm played songs by some of his current "bands."
Chinese all-girl band called Wild Strawberries and a "hacker" song
(sound provided via old computers) by a guy from Chicago that was
pretty good. He is also producing the film version of "Fast Food
Nation."

Rock to Jock

OC Register
Article

Michael Steele, Indie 103.1 program director, says the goal is to provide listeners with something fresh.

"Everything about Los Angeles and Orange County radio is so slick and produced, and that's great - I worked at KISS-FM and had Rick Dees and that's the ultimately slick radio," Steele says. "And those stations do really well.

"But when I was designing Indie, I knew that to compete, I had to put something on the radio that was radically different."

So he signed Jones to host a midday show, on which he meanders in a Cockney accent through his vast store of rock memories - many of them involving guitars and amplifiers he's nicked off other bands.

Most days he interviews fellow musicians about everything from English soccer to girlfriends they've shared, and plays whatever strikes his fancy, often struggling to recall song titles at the end of sets.

The show started in a haphazard fashion today, with Jonesy still
running down the hallway as Mr. S. manned the mic.Jonesy is not in
a relationship because "he doesn't want to get screamed at when he
looks at other birds." Per future relationships/marriage "that
door ain't closed." Steve also went into his spiel about how
priests should get married (or at least have the services of
hookers.) Men are always looking at birds other than their
girlfriend, but "Birds don't want to be with every bloke."
"Someday you'll find the right woman," Mr. Shovel assures Jonesy.

Songs included:

Altered Images-Happy Birthday
Heavy Metal Kids-Hang On
Mazzy Star-Fade Into You
"Some guy sang a song"
Eels-Railroad Man
Super Groupies-Low Blue Flame

guest: Tony Wilson


Guest: Tony Wilson. Tony inspired the movie "24 Hour Party
People." A producer,promoter and radio personality in England, he
booked the Pistols on their infamous Bill Grundy TV show
appearance. We learn that he had to cover up Siouxsie's swastika
armband with gaffers tape. He was very disappointed in the fact
that Jonesy likes Boston! Played a song by some young Brit rap
group he's promoting and Jonesy had to stop the song because it
had the f word in it! (Sorry RSPCA!!) Jonesy really wants Cliff
Richard as a guest on the show. "What did you do in New York?"
Tony asked as he interviewed Steve about his post-Pistols life.
"Lived with a hooker and did heroin," Jonesy responded. "She was a
nice girl." Jonesy hurt his back from "spinning" (the trendy
exercise) too much.

Chelsea won!! Jonesy got back in one piece from playing w/ Camp
Freddy in Vegas. Tone Loc & Annabella Lwin joined 'em onstage. He
really has to lose weight cuz he didn't get any action. One day in
Vegas was enough for him. He lost $600 gambling & rode down a
water "Tunnel.". Saw Bon Jovi and said they were "disappointingly
dull." Asked Mr. Shovel what it would take to make him his
"honey." ("Yes, we're back to that. C'mon, we're all whores,"
Jonesy said, "Everyone has a price.") Mr. Shovel had a great time
at Coachella. Says the Pistols should headline there next year.

hear Eno and some other bloke give a lecture last night, where
they talked about "bloody relativity and Einstein." So what did
Jonesy learn? "I learned I get hungry listening to people speak

but they gave it to some German geezer" Jonesy sings in his

write in pope


No write-in win for Jonesy as Pope.The new pope had to choose a

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. "

does a spot-on Jerry Lewis imitation "Hey, lady..."

Adam Sandler


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 &
Glass Tiger! Adam choose "Strutter" by Kiss to open the show. He
talked about the musical "cliques" in school when he was growing
up in New Hampshire.

Jonesy notes "Rich people don't walk. Lotsa old people, people
getting on the bus. Reality is walking to work."

with her 13 year old son Jake, her hubby Robert Hayes & Brad
Eltermann, the photographer. Cherie, Jake & Jonesy performed
"American Nights" and "Cherry Bomb" & Cherie performed one of her
new songs.Cherie was very forthright in talking about her
experiences with the Runaways. She's currently writing her second
book about her Runaways experiences. She revealed that Kim Fowley

the Runaways reunion slated for a few years ago fell through when

walking


Jonesy walked to work again today. Mr. S. dropped him off
yesterday at the "secret location" where Jonesy parks his car and
was very impressed by the distance that Jonesy walks. Quite an
accomplishment for a layabout like me", sez Steve," Left to my own
devices, I'd stay home with Astroglide, Playstation and cream
pies, pay my mortgage and not be bothered. I'm too old now."
That's our ole curmudgeon. In fitting fashion, today was another
"soft rock" day for Jonesy.

Songs included:

Tony Joe White-Polk Salad Annie
Starz-Fallen Angel
Blondie-In The Flesh.
Journey-Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'

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."
