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!!!!

Maybe The People Would Be The Times Or Between Clark And Hilldale

Jonesy is always wondering what this song is about when he plays it.  He has asked so many times I have decided to investigate it for myself:
Before we begin, we already know from the title that maybe the people would be the times-- probably the times that are being lived in, and not chronological or clock times--and therefore that the people themselves would be the times. That the singer could define the times by the people if the people would agree. Moreover, those people appear to be found, at least during the writing of this song, between Clark and Hilldale. And I surmise from MC5 on JJB that it must be the stretch of Sunset between those two streets, which I now imagine as some sort of Haight/Ashbury. 


But it occurs to me that the writer came to this song in more ordinary encounters with fans who expressed appreciation for his music when they chanced to see him on the street. Or perhaps from bumping into his musical cronies or acquaintances on the street, maybe after he had been away touring, or in the studio or recording, or something else that would have taken him away from the shared "times." Or maybe it was just a really tiresome Love record release party, that he didn't want to seem ungrateful for, but frankly, had no desire to attend.
Verse 1:What is happening and how have you been
Gotta go but i'll see you again
And oh, the music is so loud
And then i fade into the...

A meeting, and greeting. He must be off, but another meeting is assured. The music is so loud. The music around him? The music inside of him? And where is the singer going? To die? Back into dreams? Back to oblivion? Back home? Back on the road?A surplus of meaning. Wherever he is going, the music is so loud that he will fade, fade into the...???

Verse 2:Crowds of people standing everywhere
'cross the street i'm at this laugh affair
And here they always play my songs
And me, i wonder if it's...

AH, he's fading into a crowd of people!! And as we read on we see that it's something that leaves one laughing? Are they laughing at him? Is it laughable? Well, they always play his songs, so it's probably shared laughter. Or is it one of those horrible record company get togethers? A release party or something where all of his contemporaries are there, and some are just old news, and tired and obsolete? It's very crowded, that's for sure. And he's wondering.... What is he wondering???

Verse 3:Wrong or right they come here just the same
Telling everyone about their games
And if you think it obsolete
Then you go back across the street
Yeah, street, hey hey

He's wondering about right and wrong, and the nature of right and wrong. And whether the collective motive to coming to this undefined "here"-- this here of laughter, where the singer's songs are played-- is right or wrong, and further, that hidden motives are being revealed. Everything is being questioned. Or perhaps that is game itself? How droll, how sophisticated, how cynical they are, telling everyone about their games. How rich, how bored, how boring.

However, if you have transcended this revelation of the games, and feel it is obsolete, this judgement (right vs wrong), then simply go back across the street. Which we might divine, given the name of the song, is a real street. But at any rate, there is another crossing, another transition. Perhaps back to ones roots, or back into the music, or back to the beginning, or back to simplicity.

Verse 4:When i leave now don't you weep for me
I'll be back, just save a seat for me
But if you just can't make the room
Look up and see me on the...

But something has changed. The singer has changed and the relationship to his environment has changed. Some unknown love and bonding has entered this scenario, for weeping is presumed to follow the departure. It must be consoled and assured that a return can be expected. The atmosphere and the gathering, despite the anticipated weeping, is very casual. And if you can't save the seat, if it is filled in my absence, look up and see me... Where will you see me? Shmoozing with someone else and promising to return? What? Where? When will you see me?
Verse 5:Moon's a common scene around my town
Yeah where everyone is painted brown
And if we do get stuck away
Let's go paint everybody gray
Yeah, gray, yeah

AH, of course! You do remember don't you? All musicians are really sorcerors. Witches and shamans and medicine men. Speaking to us in the language of our hearts. Making music of our feelings. Singing to us the sounds of moonlight on a clear night. The moon is common scene around the singer's town. And common among night people, which musicians surely are as well. And common among the hippies and the partiers and Sunset night life that lives on still. Or perhaps this is the end of the money, the label's belief in you, the end of touring and these parties and back into being unknown, almost.

Back to being as far away from all of this as being on the moon.

But everyone is painted brown. There is no colour distinction, no race, or perhaps it is the dulling of ones bright and true colours. The lifeless masks we don for one another, to "fit in." But if we get stuck while we are away, we can paint everyone grey... Perhaps this is the shade uncertainity, or the mixing of all the peoples of the world, or perhaps, a rhyming word, chosen under the auspices not only of the Lady herself, the moon, but her favourite Love Child consort, LSD. Or perhaps we can make everything the same again, and start all over again, revealing, as artists do, those bright colours beneath the mask...

There are many meanings to this song. That is what I see.

12 SEPTEMBER 2005: THE GREAT L.A. POWER OUTTAGE

Five after 12 bells, and the temperature is nice. Shovel thinks there will be more heatwaves.

Jonesy says we will have more of the Indian Summer. He likes warm summer nights. They make him feel good.

Chelsea beat someone. (Footie.) He pulled his groin playing his own game this weekend. (Hollywood United, I think is his team's name. They are pretty well known among the Brits I know here.) He's never pulled a groin muscle before.

"What are your loins?" He asks Shovel. "I know what a loin cloth is, but what are loins?"

"A child is a fruit of your loins," says Shovel.

"Yeah but where is it? Is the loins the groin?" He questions further. And should he wear a loin cloth?

"Perhaps a listener will know," says Shovel

Jonesy's legs hurt too, and he's never pulled a groin muscle before.

What's going on with that bloody disaster--is Bush paying the bills down there? Jonesy wonders, regarding Katrina.

Shovel wants to change the subject.

A boxed set of someone-- CATCH THE WIND-- oh, I think this is Donovon.

Donovon, CATCH THE WIND
Velvet Underground, SUNDAY MORNING ("Nico on vocals," he comments. "Beautiful!")
Leo Sayer, GIVING IT ALL AWAY ("Roger Daltrey had a hit with this.")
Rod Stewart, MANDOLIN WIND ("Monday morning blues set," comments Jonesy.)
Antony and the Jonhsons, HOPE THERE IS SOMEONE (** They have a gig at the Los Feliz Vista Theatre later this month, per Jonesy.)

The Duke: Radio Shack

The power went out and I missed the whole rest of the show.

OKAY-- I am back for the re-broadcast.

"Steven Nostradamus," he says.

The Duke: BMW

"It's chaos out there," says Jonesy of the power outtage. "Orange County is out as well."

Shovel says, let's all stay calm and just get home okay.

Jonesy just said the "t" word. Terrorist.

Both agree that there is no reason to get crazy. Stay calm.

"I'm going to calm the city," says Jonesy. (Only those of us that actually have battery powered radios.)

Oh my god, this is the silliest Jonesy song I have ever heard. It's starts out to FIVE YEARS.

"Five minutes/ five minutes what a surprise/ that's all we got/we all are going to die/ in five minutes/ in five minutes/ in five lovely minutes/ oh oh oh/ what's it like to die?/ Five sausages/ that what I fancy when I am anxious/ five sausage rolls, with branston pickle/ and sausage rolls/ five bunk ups too take away my worries/ five bunk ups before we all die..."

YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! Stay calm, Los Angeles, counsels Jonesy.

Shovel is playing a clip. 
 "Please don't panic /we are going to orange alert/ then to red alert, we're all going to die..."

"Drive your cars into the back of the bloke in front of you/ don't worry about no lights/ get out of your car and smash someone's face in/ nick a handbag off some old lady, off some helpless lady/ see a bloke in a wheelchair/ smash his bleeding head in/ calm yourself /calm yourself.."

"You are too square I have to straighten you out," another Shovel clip. (How does he come up with these so fast?)

"I count to five this will be a dream/you will be coming up from the elevator/ you know what I mean/ it's been a phantasm/ it's been a phantasm of life..."

"Human error...This sort of thing has cropped up before... "

Shovel has another clip.

"Five men went into a toilet/ five men had a look at each other/ five men with funny coloured hankies out of the back of their pockets....Five birds that's all I ask for/ five birds, in their twenties/ in their twenties/ just for tonight, yes I'd be fine/ five manchiefrills/ clouding up the sky with their/ five manchiefrills, oh yeah..."

"I can no longer sit back and allow communist subversion, and the international communist consipiracy..." a final clip from Shovel on the matter.


The whistling song was MAGGIE MAY.  Jonesy bought this when he was 15 and he didn't know nothing. He bought it at the HMV Record Shoppe because it had a cool cover. It was Saturday and sunny, and he went to Cookies' house. They listened to it, and Jonesy was like "he's the man, he has a great voice." Maggie May was the number one album in the US and the UK after that. Jonesy was so proud that he bought it before anyone else, before it became popular.

"I am a visionary, aren't I, Shovel?" Shovel concurs that Jonesy had a feeling in his "gutty wutty" just moments before the power went out.

"If you are young and you want to be saved," come up to Jonesy's tonight and he will save you.

???
Red Walls, MEMORIES
Ian Hunter, ??
(He must have played these before his FIVE YEARS spoof. Maybe Killing Joke, too, I wasn't paying close attention.)

Killing Joke, WAR DOGS
The Damned, NEAT NEAT NEAT
PIL, ANNALISA

"Two water and power concubines aren't working," per Jonesy.

This is the second hour. I'll have to get up early tomorrow morning.

People are driving all silly and stuff because of the blackout, says Jonesy.

"Please make room for me, when I leave the station! While the rest of you die, I just want to get home," says Jonesy.

"Such a caring guy," snorts Shovel.

"That's me," says Jonesy. "Fanks for listening!"

New Pornographers, TWIN CINEMA
Journey, WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN IN THE CITY

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.
