9 SEPTEMBER 2005: RED WALLS, SLIM JIM, COOKIE

I missed alot:

They are singing more right now-- it's 2:05 but I heard that it's going to be a three hour show. I am going to try hear both parts of the re-broadcast-- if they play it tonight. I wonder if they will, because it's the radio-thon?

Red Walls are the guest. They are playing tonight. When I left it was Slim Jim Phantom and a guy from the Smithereens. I hope they play the re-broadcast.

Faces, TOO BAD
Boz Skaggs, DIRTY LOWDOWN
Kathy Macias (sp?), Title???

They sold Jonesy's shoes for $300 each!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!

One more size ten... you know what they say about big feet....

COOKIE IS THERE!!! And Slim Jim is there too!!!!!

It's crazy there today and Cookie had to sit in the lobby. Cookie was in Joshua Tree and it was waay hot. The only people out there were from DELIVERANCE in the desert. (And all the acid freaks.) Jonesy feels sorry for Ned Beatty.

They are talking about Bolan and how everyone is fan. Jonesy is remembering seeing him, and Cookie is talking about the shrine where Bolan crashed his car. Every year at Bolan's birthday there is big to-do where people tie ribbons to the tree.

Jonesy thinks that's where they yellow ribbon comes from.  Jonesy plays on that new Dead Men Walking Bolan cover.

Cookie is trying not to swear again.

, HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE

I think Cookie and Jonesy were talking about he old days. ...

"We was only together for two years, from start to finish," Cookie says of the SP.

"How many shows? 100 or 102?"

"We played around London, at --- University," Jonesy remembers.

"For the legacy we left, nothing at all," concludes Cookie.

"And one album, really," says Jonesy. Jonesy says he worries about stuff.

Slim Jim says back then it was only the gig and your mates. You didn't worry about nothing else.

"Now we got mortgages," says Jonesy.

"Telling our kids what to do," Cookie says.

I can't keep up with this conversation. SJ son is in a band with Billy Idols kid. Cookie's kid is doing something with Matlock-- her name is Holly. Both are blessed with good kids'.
Cookie says be sure to raise em up right "belt em, lock em in the closet."
Slim Jim just says "Son, see all my friends, behave or you will end up like us." He's too lazy to hit them with the belt.
Jonesy would like a spanking. C0uld Slim Jim provide it?

"10 lashes."

They are going to play Cookie's daughter's song.

Holly Cook's song rocks!!!!!!!!!! Grrlll rock!!!! YEA!!!! Edgy pop.

Holly Cook, YEAH RIGHT

There were I think two songs after this, and they talked about some stuff. And I think SJ will be back, and too bad Cookie doesn't live here, because he's going back on Sunday. But what happened was, Blogger shut down for maintenance, and while I was trying to post, it lost everything. It was such an awesome show. I will try to catch the re-broadcast.

GOD SAVE JONESY!!!

8 SEPTEMBER 2005

JONESY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's been very sick!!! Shovel is suspicious, but I think Jonesy is telling the truth.

Jonesy brought a note from his Doctor. Shovel reads it: "Steve is all knackered out."

The party was great, per Shovel and Jonesy. His friend Richard threw it for him. Jonesy isn't into all the attention about birthdays so he is very glad someone threw the party for him.

The Jonesy jubilee t-shirts were a big hit at the party, and Shovel didn't want to fight for one. Jonesy only has one left and it's a XX which might be a bit too big for slender Shovel.

Jonesy has been watching CNN and Fox, and he is horrified. He doesn't want to bring anyone down. Instead for the next two hours he is going to try to cheer us up!!!!!!!!!!

YAY JONESY!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's singing some song from the 70's. Oh, it's MORE THAN A FEELING.

He's going to do WARM LEATHERETTE. He's doing the one by???? Not the Grace Jones version. (I wish he'd play some Grace Jones.) Shovel remembers. It's The Normal.

Dana Gillespie, ANDY WARHOL (Brittany the CD detective found this, produced by Bowie. It's very hard to get.)
Velvet Underground, WHITE LIGHT
Rolling Stones, I'M GOING DOWN
ZZ Top, (missed the song title)

Jonesy saw Dana Gillespie at the theatre where ROCKY HORROR started. It was on Kings Road.

Joe Sib is there. He tells Jonesy that he looks great, and that he expected him to look horrible, because he sounded so horrible on the phone.

"You look great! Freshly showered and shaved. Maybe the flu was just getting something else out of you!"

"My inherent ugliness?" Quips Jonesy.

"Maybe I should leave you two alone," says Shovel.

Shovel is a bit of a homophobe, per Jonesy and Sib, and doesn't want to say a guy looks good.

There is nothing wrong with two blokes complimenting each other! "Quick, Shovel, say something complimentary!"

They try to egg him on. Shovel won't cave.

THERE WILL BE A 48 HOUR RADIO-A-THON STARTING WITH DICKY'S SHOW TOMORROW MORNING at 7 AM. THE EVACUEES FROM NEW ORLEANS WILL BE AT THE STATION. DICKY & SIB ARE GOING TO AUCTION OFF "AN ITEM AN HOUR." A FOO FIGHTERS GUITAR, SOCIAL D, RANCID, GREEN DAY, A LONG LIST OF STUFF, SOME CONCERT TICKETS. (Yet no one has taken up my idea for Mardi Gras beads...oh well..)

BTW, the 48 hours is in "indie hours" so that might mean 36 hours. They are trying to find someone for the super late shift, and Shovel goes "why are you looking at me?"

Jonesy thinks give some money to Red Cross and don't tell anyone.

The Duke: Guitar Center (gee, they are having a big sale, surprise, suprise)


Magpie Twenty Themes, CCS was the artist, WHOLE LOTTA LOVE (Per Jonesy, this was the theme song of Top Of The Pops for like, twenty years, and it has a cheesy flute. And he thinks CCS was just a group of session players. Shovel thinks Page stole the riffs from some old blues song. 

Lou Reed, MEN OF GOOD FORTUNE
John Cale, BIG WHITE CLOUD
David Bowie, WATERLOO SUNSET (This is on Japanese import of REALITY, which is also very hard to find-- too bad-- this is great great cover!)

(My radio keeps losing the station completely! WTF???)

Holy g-spot, Batman! Jonesy is playing Zeppelin! I am having an orgasm...Oh, well now he's being silly again "I gotta whole lotta salad..."

He's whistling to give away some buttons. "Badges, buttons, whatever you call them, of the finest tin."

The Duke: HB Toyota

Two winners. (Both birds, he should be happy about that!) It was a Joe Walsh song. But I missed the title. He's playing it, and singing his man who can lyrics "I'm the man who can/ two hours a day/take the blues away..." I agree!

Joe Walsh, A LIFE OF ILLUSION

There is something wrong at the station-- not my radio. Jonesy cut off the song and announced there was a "machine in the ghost"!

"Mr Sting, is there a machine in my ghost?"

Jonny & Edgar Winter, JUMPING JACK FLASH
J Geils Band, HARD DRIVIN MAN
Mr Big, WONDERFUL CREATION
Heavy Metal Kids, WE GOTTA GO
Faces, CINDY
The Raspberries, TONIGHT

Jonesy is wondering about the synchronicity of the universe. The second he put on his Winter brothers CD in the car, he saw an albino woman on her bike. He thought that was strange. He hasn't seen an albino for ages. (Both Winters are albinos.)

The Duke

Giant Drag, THIS ISN'T IT (This is a new song that Jonesy likes. It reminds him of Courtney Love. He heard this on Shovel's show, and now they have a new CD coming out soon.)
Flaming Groovies, HAVE YOU SEEN MY BABY (great song!)
Screaming Trees, WHO LIES IN DARKNESS

He's doing his New age music, something about "flying monkeys." It's so soothing, this music, and then it's someone angry on the other line, he says. Oh, maybe it's his ring tone or something.

Is it lying down or telling lies? "It's a double entendre," Shovel says of the Screaming Trees title.

Jonesy wonders is that a French word? entendre... He can't pronounce it. Jonesy don't need any words!!! Whatever it means.

Jonesy whistled LOVE HURTS for those tickets to Music Festival in Texas.

The Duke

He's playing the guitar and singing his own lyrics to LOVE HURTS. I think he should put out a solo album. I can't believe that they haven't released that JONESY AND... CD. In fact, I don't understand how the station hasn't just flat out hired me... and all of my brilliant ideas...hehehe

Nazareth, LOVE HURTS


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

7 SEPTEMBER 2005: BLUES EXPLOSION REBROADCAST

I missed most of the show, but it was another re-broadcast and it was, of course, great. The guests were The Blues Explosion. I don't know when it was originally aired.

I hope Jonesy is recuperating from his birthday bash and will be back soon!

GOD SAVE JONESY!
LONG LIVE INDIE!

6 SEPTEMBER 2005: SLIM JIM PHANTOM REBROADCAST

If you want to read my account of ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY at the Hollywood Bowl, it's on my Toodler blog:

http://toodler.blogspot.com/

I really think someone should take this idea and run with it: to sell Mardi Gras beads as a fundraiser for Katrina and also that there is something we can all wear to show our sympathy.

I missed the very beginning of the show. I came in on a Rod Stewart show. I probably missed his birthday bash report... I will have to catch the rebroadcast.

Faces,
Sham 69, BORSTAL BREAK OUT
Edwardian Connection, SOMEBODY"S GOING TO GET THEIR HEAD KICKED IN TONIGHT
Shakin Stevens,

Someone named McHaggis is on. (Not really!) A drummer who is of Irish descent. They both used to like Shakin' Stevens???

Jonesy picked these songs out special for the guest.

The guest is married and has a daughter, I believe. Jonesy wonders if the guest has ever had a woman try to change him, and then give him the old "fiddlers elbow."

The guest does not share Jonesy's penchant for farting. The guest wonders if special measures are taken, or if Jonesy is naturally flatulent.

Jonesy is smarter than when the drummer first met him.

From drinking Smart water with effervescents, says Jonesy.

It's Slim Jim Phantom from Stray Cats. They are talking about his nickname and how he came up with it.

"That's the great thing about when you are young, you say these stupid things and they stick, and they're brilliant." Jonesy opines. "Then life kicks you down a few times, and you start thinking 'no, that sounds stupid.' But really, it's brilliant."

"Yeah, and you get it tattooed on yourself...Back then everyone was 'Rotten' and Viscious and so forth... And you are responsible for that," he tells Jonesy.

They are applauding all of the Veteren's. Apparently today is Veteren's Day. This must be a re-broadcast.
 
Nope, it's a re-broadcast, and the stats can be found on the first link down, another jonesy's jukebox blog. It's from 11 November 2004. So I will keep listening, but sign off...

GOD SAVE JONESY!
