Very good . Not enough time though.

Steve may get up on stage Thursday to play a Pistols song with them.
( "God save the queen", "Bodies" or "Anarchy in the UK" )

Shepherd Fairey was there as well.

"I swear i was born to rebel,
My pistols a sex weapon from Hell,
I swear i seen God kiss the Queen,
As a prophet of rage we cant be that mean !"

Also found out why Jones , Cook and Chris Thomas were together in LA recently. They were recording "God Save the Queen" and "Anarchy in the UK" as they had lost the masters and needed the songs for a new "Guitar Hero" video game. LINK

Why they are so stringent with the times and stop the show at 2 just to have another DJ come on is really annoying.



Here it is . Song starts about 20 mins in after an interview.

Once again ; does no one else see the Oral history of British punk rock being served up on LA Airwaves; Jones, Lydon, Cook, Matlock, Spedding, McLaren, Thomas , Scabies, Hynde, Salewicz , JAMC , Tony Wilson etc . Now there are stories and questions like todays re Steve taking Mick's place that this may be the first time ever documented. The Pete Townshend interview where he talked about a verse in "Who are you" being about Steve and Cook. The first time someone had really asked him.

Surf Junkie Jeff and Steve in OC Weekly

Link

What’s it like in there?
To tell you the truth, it’s kind of like a college dorm. It’s small and plastered with rock & roll memorabilia: posters, fliers and photos signed by rock stars who have been through.
Is there the lingering smell of Jonesy’s passed gas?
When I go in there, it has never smelled too bad. I am usually in and out by the time Jonesy gets there. But sometimes I see him, and he always says, “Surf’s up, mate!”
Jonesy is always getting teased about his weight or whining about being overweight. Have you ever offered to take him surfing?
Yeah, whenever I see Steve at the station, I’ll hit him up about when we’re gonna go surfing. I think he’s about ready to give it a try with me this summer.

Repeat ...

Strange repeat again sort of a nothing show.

Why the Craig Ferguson shows dont get more repeats i dont know.

sunnydayinglasgow

So 345 (effing) posts in to this thing with no contact from indie ever; i want whoever turns up here to try and get the group sunnydayinglasgow( Myspace) on to the show when they are in LA . ( Jun 24 2007 Pehrspace Los Angeles, California ) never heard them but the name is great. This message will repeat at annoying frequency from now on. Just like the people who ask for show recordings but dont leave contact info.

and there really is more to read;

"(From the All Music Guide:)

Fronted by identical twin sisters Lauren and Robin Daniels and masterminded by their brother Ben, A Sunny Day in Glasgow have made a name for themselves with synth-laden pop songs reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine or the Jesus and Mary Chain. Ben Daniels started making cassette recordings with the help of his friend Ever Nalens years before A Sunny Day in Glasgow got together. Nalens moved to Glasgow from 2002 to 2004 in order to go to art school, and Daniels moved to London about a year later. They started collaborating again after Ben returned in the summer of 2005, but Nalens abandoned the project after a couple months. Daniels continued to write songs, asking his sister Robin to take over the vocals. Lauren was brought in as a vocalist a few months later, nd the group started recording tracks in Ben's West Philadelphia apartment and at their parents' ouse in the suburbs.

They put some of the tracks together and released them as an EP, called The Sunniest Day Ever, in March 2006. They didn't expect anything to come of it, so they were pleasantly surprised when the EP charted at number one on New York's WNYU and started getting radio play on at least a dozen college radio stations. Their songs started bouncing around online, bloggers began to take notice, and soon enough Pitchfork gave the first track on their EP, "C'mon," a four-star rating. Labels started to pay attention, and the group snagged a record deal with Notenuf Records in October 2006. Their first full-length record consists of tracks recorded between January and August of 2006, and is scheduled for release in February 2007."

On the radio
I’m set to appear tomorrow on “Jonesy’s Jukebox,” the radio show hosted by ex-Sex Pistols codger-freak Steve Jones. I’ll be one of three “guest jurors” on a two-hour segment in which he’ll play songs and we decide if said songs are “pants” (bad) or “mustard” (good). Not sure what’s up with the pants or the mustard or why I was asked to appear—must be my gig as music consultant on the Showtime series “Weeds.” Show airs Friday May 10 on Indie 103.1 FM from 12-2 pm with a rebroadcast from 6-8 pm.

In Los Angeles this afternoon. Played live on Jonsey's Jukebox on Indie 103.1. Doing the show was fun cause Jonsey has a great sense of humor and doesn't mind going off the rails at all. Whoever owned the building that all the radio stations we're in had a sense of humor too, just look at this sofa. They told us to have a seat but I couldn't bring myself to do it..LoL. The show at the Knitting factory was dyn-o-mite thanks to a rambunctious crew and our beautiful friend Gina who rocked the pipes during the encore!"

Hey guys. Those you who live in L.A. know that the raddest show on the air is "Jonesy's Jukebox," hosted by one-and-only Sex Pistol Steve Jones. Best. Radio Show. Ever.

Anyhoo, recently on Mondays he's started doing a segment called "Jonesy's Jukebox Jury," on which he blindly plays new songs for a panel of music "experts" who then critique the tunes. Instead of a "thumbs up/down" scenario, panelists give the songs ratings of either "mustard" (good) or "pants" (bad).

Past Jury guests have included Duran Duran's John Taylor and Morrissey's guitar player...and now ME! Yes, I will be offering my typical mouthy musical opinions on the show this Monday, March 26, 11am-1pm PST!

and a nobody. a female nobody . Rebecca Lisi (sp?)

This day in music

http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/index.php

1977, after being with the label for just six days The Sex Pistols were fired from A&M due to pressure from other label artists and its Los Angeles head office. 25,000 copies of ‘God Save The Queen’ were pressed and the band made £75,000 ($127,500) from the deal.

( MMMM. It appears it is not Jonesys Jukebox from 10-2 but Shovels 10-12 show then the Jukebox. That is not a bad thing but that is not what they were really advertising )

Levis personnel to Shovel "Just because you are on the radio doesnt mean you have to dress like that"


Look at the graphic Indie is using; is that Steve or Lou Reed in the 70's

I know you will find this hard to believe ..

.. but as a fill in show they are replaying , yet again, the Lydon show.
How about at least an edited 2 hours of the Pistols and Spedding as a treat.

Or just let Jose carry on for a couple more hours trying to be Steve for the time period :-)

Nothing to do with the Jukebox

Years ago when Indie started it was an amazing thing that struck some people deeply and made them find a way to come together and enjoy the music that they liked, or even more loved, over the air in Los Angeles.

That changed . A year ago the station started to change and then shows were shifted about and playlists changed but still a loose knit group of people stayed in touch. I never met any of them, just not my thing to do, let alone had any contact that gained me anything from Indie , some replied too emails but nothing more. On Sunday one of Indies original supporters and staunchest intial listeners passed away. I know nobody at the station knows or cares, as it is a commercial enterprise , but i would just like to make note in passing. Some people who knew cared.
If i felt right enough to pass on the private emails and messages that were generated by this personality i would do so but do not feel comfortable doing that . Trying to control the force of nature that she was... it was definitely an interesting thing to be involved in.

Myspace

Peace and thinking of the kid.
I know himself was a big Damned fan as his mom asked Dicky to play them for his birthday, and Dicky got Rat Scabies to do the dedication, but these lyrics strike a more important chord for me at this time....

The Clash; "Stay Free"

" 'cos years have passed and things have changed
and i move anyway i wanna go
i'll never forget the feeling i got
when i heard that you'd got home
an' i'll never forget the smile on my face
'cos i knew where you would be
an' if you're in the crown tonight
have a drink on me
but go easy...step lightly...stay free"

( reminded of this by Will Swaims leaving from OC weekly. The Clash are never wrong )

Jury of the 5h

• Mark McGrath ; of T.V's Extra !!
• Liam Gowing ; no idea , a journalist turns up on a search so lets go with that. (OK. LA City editor for Onion AV Club and other things )
• Tracey Ullman ; One of a kind
• Dave French ; No idea either; i thought it said Dawn French; Vicar of Dibley; but apparently not. Ah !! Steve says; Sculptor and "You're the nobody this week"
  

This is/ was shaping up to be a great one. ( Dawn French and Tracey Ullman would have been great but now .... )
Steve has already said he is driving to Austin, so he must be leaving soon after this show :-)

( Update Monday: Apparently this show was recorded Saturday, so Steve must be on his way , that means Tuesdays show will be a repeat )
Tracey added to this by saying "Dont spoil my Saturday". She had just been told about Freddie of Freddie and the Dreamers death )

NB Why not have Tracey fill in sometime when they are going to play a repeat. Like tomorrow


... and Sir William Connolly is in town as well at least till the 24th .
