Jonesy's having bird problems again. He's taking his dates out to

Medium Fried

Radio free ..

Indie is great but unlistinable throughout much of L.A. so it winds up being in Internet station in my world anyway. Still, if you have not acquainted your self with L.A.’s best new DJ Steve Jones you really should. He airs twice on Indie

The Doves

The Doves were the guest today.

Indie stream cut out at 1.40 pm but i should have the last hour from the rebroadcast.
Bloody internet !!!

Steve wanted a laminate if he was going to go to their show because he doesnt like being "banged about".
He wanted to be able to go anywhere; "backstage, drummers stool or roof"

The Doves


With his bushy 'stache, Jonesy now reckons he looks like a 70s
porn star****.
Guests: The Doves

Jenny Lens Punk Pix

Indie1031.fm: Joe Sib rules! I will miss Henry Rollins more than words can say. He brought so much into my life with his brilliant rants and musical choices. Yeah, they've got that Brit guy during the day whom I never miss. I wish they archived shows like Little Stevie, so you can listen over and over and avoid the crap they play over and over and over 90% of the time.


This site ( jennylens.net etc ) is extraordinary.

Pictures of a much smaller Steve :-)

Aquabats today

On The Mighty Mighty Morning show !!! Charge

Yesterday was a bad driving day for Jonesy. He had a tire that
looked like it was slashed,then some inconsiderate guy in a Jaguar
parked to close to him in the Whole Foods parking lot and he had
to struggle to get back in his car. L.A. drivers have no courtesy.
"It's hard living in modern society," sez Mr. S., who added
motorists on Sunset Strip yesterday were "driving like asteriods
were coming." Nobody in L.A. uses turn signals, sez Steve. They
should hire people just to give tickets to people who don't use
turn signals." "They already have those," sez Mr.S., "they're
called police officiers." "No, just to give tickets to the people
w/o turn signals. They'd make a fortune."

Monday, June 06, 2005


Jonesy looks like a "swashbuckler" today, complete with 'stache.
Mr. S. has a new cell phone w/ the same service provider as
Jonesy, but his phone still won't work in the studio. Steve sang

Gengis Cohen (Kahn)"

Jonesy and the Secret Machines

For you to trip out on? (Laughing) I heard you guys this afternoon on Jonesy’s Jukebox
Brandon: We played “Nowhere Again”. We’ve never done that before, ever. It was a total surprise.
Ben: First of all, it was a surprise that it was Steve Jones who was interviewing us.

"Brandon: Steve handed us a guitar and said, “Here – can you play it?” You can’t really say no, you know? He prefaced it with like, “There’s a lot of bands that come in here that can’t even play their own music and songs.” And it’s like, all right!"

Friday, June 03, 2005

John Waite


Jonesy had a dream last night that he was smoking cigarettes
again. It freaked him out. Mr. Shovel, doing an iffy Freud
impersonation, (***"What are you, Dr. Strangelove?",****** sez
Jonesy******), *** questions the meaning of the dream. He suggests
that Dr. Freud would say the cigarettes are a stand-in for another
similiarly shaped object. "Are you being offensive?" sez Jonesy.

Guest: John Waite

John has just moved to Santa Monica from NY and has a new album
coming out. Jonesy, John and John's guitar player Jimmy do
in-studio versions of "Dock of The Bay", "The Young Ones" and
"Missing You." We learn that after the Professionals tour of
America, their bodyguard threatened to kill Jonesy, so Jonesy
stayed in New York-for a couple years!

Thursday, June 02, 2005

It seems Steve has changed his mind about the sex thing. "I
thought you weren't interested in sex," sez Mr. Shovel. "You
slipped. You're not evolved anymore." "I'm still more evolved than
you." sez Steve. Jonesy "is not the animal he used to be" and
girls turn into friends because I don't make a move." "I'm a lame
old sod," he sez.

Popmatters interview

Interview ...


PM: Do you actually like Journey? [Journey gets airtime on Jonesy's Jukebox]

SJ: Yeah, Journey's great. Back then I couldn't like it because it wasn't cool. When you get older, you just appreciate a good song, whether you're wearing flares or bondage pants. I love catchy pop rock. You can't knock a good song. But my first day, if I would have played Journey, I think I would have buried myself. I had to ease into that stuff.

Tuesday, May 24, 2005


Jonesy has evolved, he says, and is no longer that interested in
sex, he sez,cuz in the past he had lots of meaningless sex and can
now view it as a humorous thing. However, Mr. Shovel is still his
"honey." "I'm circumcised," Jonesy tells him. :Why do people have
sex? Steve asks,"Got to be for that last 4 seconds. Why else would
you do it. I mean, maybe not for birds, but for blokes.."

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

Wednesday, May 04, 2005

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.

Tuesday, May 03, 2005

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,"

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

Kelly Osborne

Kelly Osborne


Jonesy had the cancer on his face removed yesterday. He came into
work wearing a "fashionable" bandage. Mr. Shovel saw U2 last night.

Guest: Kelly Osborne. Kelly can't spell, Jonesy learned to read
and write about eight years ago. Kelly just met her granddad a few
years ago by chance. (Her Mum, as you know, doesn't get along with
her Dad, Don Arden.) Played her new single "One Word." Nice song,
kinda pop-disco. Jonesy talked about some comfy socks he bought in
London years ago and showed Kelly his comfily attired feet.

finger over the weekend and had to go to the emergency room.

looking for an intern again.

Lemmy


Guest: Lemmy. Lemmy had lots of stories. He talked about being a

talked about the old days at the Speakeasy and other clubs in
London. Helen of Troy, the "Little Person" who used to hang out
with the London punk scene, is still around. She doesn't answer
her phone though, Jonesy reveals. Lemmy's Dad was a priest!!, but

Minute Warning when they got signed.)

etc. while on tour with the Neurotic Outsiders and then suddenly
farting. Jokester!! We learn that Jonesy was a skilled mountain
biker before his back gave out, but Glen Matlock was not. (Was
