2ND ANNIVERSARY SHOW!!!

TWELVE BELLS!!!
Ahh, those glorious strains!! That uplifting, regal theme song!!!

...and then the sound of Jonesy tuning his guitar...

"It's a lot cooler; very disappointing. I didn't get that nice waft of hot air. But still nicer than most places..."

He's promising punishment because no skidmarked underwear were sent to him.

"This is a bad way to start the third year," he scolds.

Mr. Shovel is wearing cashmere socks.

Jonesy is jammin a nice little tune on the guitar. Perfect for this beautiful day.

"No socks in a box/ no socks have arrived on the jukebox/ you've all defied the box/ now your gonna pay for your defiance/ no underwear/ no not anyhwere/ no skidmarked silken undergarments have arrived anywhere/ I can't hide/ No candles/ not even one anyway/ No candles/ I didn't want them anyway/ burn yourself with the candles that you didn't send me/ you can shove them up your-- no socks..."

"Jonesy's Jukeboxers!" Says Shovel.

And has every one forgotten my great idea for JJB thongs? (Then you can always have "the man who can" around your bubblebutt...or your own can... there are so many advertising jokes there...They should have made JJB thongs to give away for the 2nd anniversary!!!)

I am going to keep posting for those that can't listen at work but can check the computer. Forgive the mistakes until I can get them cleaned up. And don't forget to hit refresh during commercial breaks. That's when I can go back and clean things up and add stuff I abbreviated.

SUMMERTIME BLUES, Blue Cheer
ELECTRIC EYE, Judas Priest

"You must watch your calories," warns Jonesy.

CATCH THE RAINBOW, Rainbow 
WHEELS OF CONFUSION, Black Sabbath

"Good music for hitting a bong," says Jonesy, inhaling. "You want a hit, Mr. Shovel?"

"No, I'm getting it," responds Shovel.

Birthday girl Bernadette's reward for turning 42 is the opportunity to play with Jonesy's Mancheifrill.

The Duke

"The Box Rocks," Jonesy affirms.

Jonesy strumming, and a few comments I missed. He's strumming SPANISH FLY.

DOA, Van Halen

Jonesy used to relate to young man blues, but now he has old man blues.

"At least when you have young man blues you have old man blues to look forward to."

The Duke: Canon Digital Cameras

LOOKING FOR A LOVE, J Giels
NICE BOYS DON'T PLAY ROCK AND ROLL
HONKY TONK WOMAN

Jonesy said that he is just playing music for his anniversary, no silly gifts. "No buttons," he says.

Well, I say: Buttons may be silly, Mr. Jones, BUT THONGS WOULD BE HYSTERICAL!!!

The Duke

Jonesy is hoping for a lovely weekend. He's playing footie and watching Chelsea.

"I leave you with Stevie Wonder," he says.

CASTLES IN THE SAND, Stevie Wonder

GOD SAVE JONESY!!!

HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY!!! HERE'S TO MANY MORE!!!

LONG LIVE INDIE!!!

I was never a huge GnR fan, but I am a big Gilby Clarke fan after hearing this show!!!

NO "HE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLA"?

I can't believe there was no "Happy Birthday Bowie"?! Did he do a Bowie show on Friday?? I thought for sure he would do some sort of birthday salute!!!

I only even heard one Bowie song (SOUL LOVE).

GOD SAVE JONESY!!!
LONG LIVE INDIE!!!

15 NOVEMBER 2005

I caught a nice little chunk of the show today for a change. I wish I'd been able to write more of it down, but it was another one of Jonesy's sets. He really has an ear for putting it all together.

I heard

Marianne Faithfull, SISTER MORPHINE
Rolling Stones

Then I caught a bit more, but I all I remember is TINY DANCER and The Who. There were a few songs I didn't know.

 This set made me think of what it must have been like for Jonesy not while he was on the road with the Pistols, but what it must have been like during the eighties and nineties, when he was working with different musicians  and realizing just how far he'd gone.

How he very much was no longer that kid on King's Road "nicking" stuff. And how good those memories and experiences were no matter how frustrating it must have been at the time. (All of those difficult personalities and agendas!)

He talks about this alot now, but these songs made me wonder about his life when he'd FIRST had the chance to get some perspective.

And he just knows how to put a good set together. He really has a way of making you hear a thread in all of the songs, which makes it alot easier to listen to stuff that normally you don't like.

GOD SAVE JONESY!!!
LONG LIVE INDIE!!!

22 SEPTEMBER 2005

Hurricane Sebastian is coming... Jonesy wanted to know why they are always birds. He thinks the next Hurricane should be Hurricane Steve, or Hurricane Jonesy.

Spear of Destiny, AGE OF UNREASON
Damned, PROBLEM CHILD
Kinks, THIS IS WHERE I BELONG
Great Glass Elevator, RAPID EYE MOVEMENT
Cockney Rebel, HIDEAWAY

The Duke: Nina's New Wave Nation

Jonesy is emotionally hung over today. Shovel wanted to know why and Jonesy told him some things were secret.

He played a Rolling Stones song. I missed a bit so I don't know if there was anything after that.

He just whistled GIMME SHELTER for some tickets to something.

The Duke: Robbins Bros, and Tower Records

Rolling Stones, GIMME SHELTER
Fleetwood Mac, OH WELL
Neil Young, THE NEEDLE
Frente, A New Order cover
David Bowie, LIFE ON MARS
Shudder to Think, HOT ONES
Red Walls, a special track that went all wiggy, and Jonesy said a manchiefrill had gotten all over it....hmmm....

The Duke: Nouvelle Vague is going to be at special FREE Indie concert at Lowe's Hotel in Santa Monica--ohh and they are opening for DCD

He was singing but I missed it... However, even without hearing it, I can assure you it was High Silliness from the Pontiff of Pop himself.

Replicants?????????,
TWO WAY ARMY ??????????
...Sounds of Africa, WILLIAM OBE OBE ??? (Groovy song)

Jonesy stands up for the people, watching out for the little people. "What about the workers!" He shouts.

He's going to whistle a masterpiece. It's The Monkees I'M NOT YOUR STEPPING STONE

He sang his Man who can to the Monkees, and now he's singing that MORE THAN A FEELING. For being knackered and having an emotional hang over he sure is full of silliness and energy today. I LOVE JONESY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOD SAVE JONESY!!!!!!!!!!!

20 SEPTEMBER 2005: DEAD MEN WALKING

I came in while they were talking about Daylight Savings Time.

Jonesy doesn't feel too great today and he might have "bird flu" hehehe...He's taking his ginger and wheatgrass.

He played a set but I missed most of it. Right now it's 12:35 and he is whistling to give away tickets to Madness tonight. It's that Sleepy Jean song by ?? Neil Diamond.

OH-- it was DAYDREAM BELIEVER!!! He is singing his "Pontiff of Pop" lyrics. Then he forgot the rest of it! I love Jonesy!

Monkees, DAYDREAM BELIEVER
?? , DOWN DOWN 
Johnny Winter, JUMPIN JACK FLASH

Dead Men Walking are in the studios with Jonesy. I have to miss a bit, but I will back.

Well, I blogged the whole last twenty minutes of the show, but blogger ate it. Too bad if you weren't listening. It was great.

19 SEPTEMBER 2005:MADNESS

I came in about 12:20 and heard part of this set.

Cockney Rebel, MAD MAD MOONLIGHT ("Mmmm, delicious" Jonesy purred, then he burped, hehe.)
Super Furry, DON'T BE A FOOL
88 ???
New Pornographers, TWIN CINEMA

The Duke: Spectra

???,
Damned, HELOISE
?,??

NO SHIT!!!!! Madness is on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I was always a 2-Tone girl! I even nicknamed myself "Rudie.")

They were on KROQ last time they were here. They are playing the Troubadour tonight.

It's very static-y today, and I am still dealing with Internet virus drama, and I missed the last chunk.  It's a bit spotty.

Jonesy is saying he is through with someone, "that lot", and not working with them anymore. They are tarts, says he of this someone or someones.

Madness wants some Imagineers from Disney. Sushi parades? A lot of laughter and stuff I couldn't hear.

"This is a conversation about English food, please don't worry," says a Mad Lad.
"Don't adjust your minds," adds another.

Madness is on English time. More laughter and stuff I couldn't catch or didn't write down fast enough.

"This is a conversation about English Soccer." Madness member says this in an English version of an American accent.

They are really enjoying themselves, but it's hard to keep up with the typing. THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM TALKING AND JOKING AT ONCE...

"Where's my wally?"

"At the end of the harvest, everything was pickled, everything that was left over-- pickled eggs, cuccumbers, and most important, pickled people."

"Pale sausages covered in lipstick-- you can get battered and non-battered!"  Jonesy, I think. Really hysterical laughter from the whole studio. It sounds like a fun day to be there!!!!

"Food Poisoning!"

You can even get "Battered Mars bars up North!" They are all laughing hysterically.

The Duke

"English mustard. Stick some up your nose and feel the pain."

Madness is not allowed to leave the state of California. They will be back on the 25th to watch some Footie. One Madness has a sister in Ventura. I think the footie is Jonesy's team.

Michael Myers skit? "You weren't allowed to say yes or no... It was in the box." And it was brilliant. It was in black and white.

Jonesy is going to play some Peter Sellers.

Peter Sellers, BOILED BANANAS & CARROTS (BEEF STEW)
Clip: "Mr Jones, do you have any kidney?"
London Boys,WE ARE THE LONDON BOYS
Clip: "I have my sausage, Mr Jones." "Oh, Miss Meadows, I wish all my ladies were as easy to please!" "I do try, Mr. Jones!"
,
CocRosie and that singer, ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL BOYS
, JENNIFER JE NE PAS
David Bowie, CHANGES

"Madness in the foyer now!"

One Madness' first single purchase was PYJAMARAMA by Roxy Music. Another Madness was BOLAN BOOGIE.

"Lipstick on your codfish," trills a Madness.

Someone met Ferry at a cafe they other day. "He does a bit of aristocratic, and fixed up a manor house," but moved his old kitchen into it, and had all his old stuff in there.

Foxes are hunting the aristocrats now. They are in every garden now, like big rats.

The most successful musician in England has never sold a record. People just like having him in the record company office.

Roxy Music is supposed to play Camden Palace?

The Duke: Jenny McCarthy is guesting today after Jonesy, listen today and maybe she will let you bone her in the limo at the premiere.

I think this is all English humour that you had to know already.

What rhymes with London Boys??? Let's see..
London Boys/ lipstick sausage / gherkins...

They are all doing Ferry imitations. They are all fans. Now they are talking about him...

He's like 60 and has loads of kids and has been married... He always wears a cumberband... he can't dance, but he could stand very well...Ferry sashays and bends the knee slightly... He's seen alot of James Bond movies....

Roxy Music, PYJAMARAMA
Kinks, VICTORIA
The Who, HAPPY JACK

Football... soccer, etc...American's aren't interested in Football unless it's American football...

"Soccer, a minority sport played by every other country in the world," quips a Madness... Chelsea, Holland, etc..

They are singing a song about Jonesy-- and a Pie shop where Bryan Ferry worked, it's too LONDON BOYS.... the lyrics incorporate all of the food conversations... it's pretty funny...

He's whistling for Dead Men Walking tickets. They are all whistling with him! And adding little funny bits! I LOVE MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...And more food lyrics.... too bad if you missed this!!!! Even if you missed everything they were saying there was so much laughter you couldn't help but laugh too!

The Duke

"You've been listening to JJB."
"Are you hungry?" Quips a Madness.
"I'm a bit hungry," says Jonesy.
"For Love," adds a Madness.

Gordon Lightfoot, IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND

Two winners.

They are singing it, or actually, humming and making up lyrics about fish and chips and taste glands and lard...

Deep fat fryers have been banned in California. Instead, everything is cooked in Mayonaisse.

MADNESS IS PLAYING TOMORROW NIGHT AT TROUBADOUR!!!!!

They are playing that football song.

GOD BLESS JONESY!

14 SEPTEMBER 2005: MC5

MC5 is going to be the guest. Jonesy played my favourite MC5 song LET ME TRY.

He whistled the Elvis version of SUSPICIOUS MINDS. I have only been able to listen and haven't been able to write except for just now.

He sang his version of MELLO YELLOW to Shovel ("I'm just wild about Shovel..."). I'll tell you what, I didn't think that a look could be transmitted over the radio, but somehow, it was. Jonesy lost it and started giggling uncontrollably. It was very funny.

BTW, Jonesy needs a woman, per Shovel. He wears the same socks for five years and his washing up sponge has cancer.

Anyhow, Jonesy says he needs a new stinky scent thingy. (Those glade things I think they were talking about.)

MC5 are on now. They played Sun Ra but I don't know what song it was.

Per MC5, Sun Ra can astrally project to different planets. Sun Ra introduced the MC5 to the idea that music is more than just entertainment.

Jonesy wondered if he did LSD, but Sun Ra hasn't. Sun Ra is into other mind sets, and trance. Sun Ra is very into ancient Egypt and taking black people back to their roots.

His band was more of a troupe and people would dance and the instrumentation was all over the place. Was he a cult, per Jonesy? Not like Jim Jones, but he attracted a strong following.

OH MY GODDESS!!! Steve Jones was just invited to come and play with MC5 on Saturday!!! I hope he goes! Shit, I wish I could go. (Working...ugh...) They are going to have a bunch of guests, but I haven't really heard of any of them. They are going to play with Sun Ra's Arkestra, but Sun Ra won't be there. (At least not in the flesh.)

Jonesy wonders if they have played with Primal Scream?

OF COURSE they have! And their DJ was once the drummer in Primal Scream. They carry on the tradition of the rock n'roll celebration, per an MC5.

(Gilby Park is another guest, as well apparently. Couldn't discern the voices.)

They will be at Amoeba Records on Friday. They haven't said what time yet. Then they will go to San Diego on Friday night too.  Wear a cape and get in free.

They are going to jam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh-- the Duke first!!!! Then Jonesy and MC5 will jam together !!!!!!!!!

The Duke: Download Festival in San Francisco

There is alot I didn't blog, but they are playing live AMERICAN RUSE!!!!

They were talking about free form radio in the 1970's.

I have to say, MC5 are far more optimistic than I am about the masses choosing imagination over an easily accessible, ephemeral sensation, which is what most music is these days. But I uphold their optimism. They are awesome and I love them!!! I think they are so courageous and also true visionaries.

I wonder though. Is Patty Smith considered like Yoko, or do they all like her? I never know anything about artists. I will have to ask my Patty Smith fan friend. I love her, but you know how bands/musicians can be.

I hope I can listen and blog tomorrow.

GOD SAVE JONESY!!!

15 SEPTEMBER 2005: ALICE COOPER

I missed almost the entire show. It was Alice Cooper as the guest.

I heard just a snippet, and Cooper made a joke about how their were 18 Hooters girls in the studios.

"They're all mutes," quipped Jonesy.

But I knew from that the Cooper probably doesn't listen to the show much, because Jonesy isn't into boobs at all. He is a hardcore ass-man.

They jammed a teeny bit on EIGHTEEN.

I am sorry I missed most of it.  I hope you were listening!

GOD SAVE JONESY!!!!
