17 AUGUST 2005

Jonesy wanted people to call in and voice their opinions on his opening theme. (Personally, I like it. It’s very regal and English, and that makes it funny for the show.)

Then he said that he got a lot of emails from people complaining about the Dandy Warhols being pretentious.
( I thought they were interesting, perhaps a bit pompous and definitely belonging to the Art Centre/ Otis Parsons/RISD class of rock, but not too full of themselves. They live in Oregon for Pete’s sake, of course they sound a little pretentious. They have to! People who live in Los Angeles forget how culturally intolerant the rest of the country is.)

He played a Dandy Warhols song. I was sitting at the parking lot of Blockbuster, and even though they don't have late fees anymore, I think it's bad karma, so I missed a chunk of the show returning the movies and getting new ones.

12:33
He was talking about "footie." Some game he was watching. My theory is that is why there were so many long sets-- that, and there were no guests today. He played a lot of music that I had never heard before or had only heard on his show. It was a great show!!!

New Pornographers, SING ME SPANISH TECHNO
?, SOMETHING THE SUN
Big Sea, ?
Astral Heights, THE WHOLE WORLD CHANGES WHEN I AM WITH YOU

1PM
Whistled Bowie's SOUL LOVE (again!)
Gave away White Stripes tickets.
The Duke was: HB Toyota, Tower Records, Dish Network

Played SOUL LOVE
Oliver Future, PILLS VS. FRIENDS
Lovemakers, FASHION
Bananarama, CRUEL SUMMER RARE REMIX
Ponyclub, SINGLE ("I can stay in cuz it's raining and I'm single")
Millbrook, MEET ME IN FIELDS
Charlie Sexton, CRUEL AND GENTLE THINGS

Then he was talking about the new documentary about that guy who lived in Alaska with the bears and then was mauled to death by one. It was in the news a few days ago that there was concern that people might become romanced by the idea of moving to Alaska and copying this guy. That new guy that spins for Jonesy didn't know anything about it. I don't like that new guy. What happened to Mr Shovel? (I think this was Mark Sovel the Music Director, pronounced Shovel by Jonesy. But who ever Shovel was, I wish he would come back. Or give that new guy some personality pills.)

Then the Duke and some ads for HB Toyota and that movie THE 40 YEAR VIRGIN. (If a man makes it to age 25 without getting laid just buy him a blow up doll, trust me!)

Then Jonesy was giving away Coldplay tickets and he called them wankers and wimps and I loved him for it. (I did like that one song when it came out, but I can't recall any lyric or melody from it. Which goes to prove my point again-- in a few weeks you won't even want to hear what ever the hot new song is that you keep flipping up and down the dial looking for. But Jonesy stays with you for a long time...like real heavy cheese...JUST KIDDING!)

The Capes, HEAT
Arctic Monkeys, A CERTAIN ROMANCE
Gosling, SKELETON WINGS

He whistled Bob Seger's STILL THE ONE, but he didn't have the record, so the show ended with him singing his "man who can" lyrics to it.

INDIE ALERT: Tomorrow morning the amazing Bryson Jones will be filling in on the Mighty Morning show. Actually, it's Doc Holliday's WATUSI RADIO, but Bryson will be co-hosting. WORTH GETTING UP EARLY FOR!!!!!! Bryson is one of two or three people I've met who isn't famous, but that you know it's just inevitable he will be one day soon. I don't know him that well, but he has amazing energy and he's really interesting and knowledgeable. He also knows EVERYONE. If outer space aliens came here from Alpha Centauri, I would ask them if they know Bryson, and I bet they'd say yes and not abduct me 'cuz I dropped a name they knew.
