Excerpts;

30 Days Out: Do you have another radio show lined up? You’re not going to learn to speak Spanish are ya?

Steve Jones: Well, I have a couple of irons in the fire right now … there’s another station in L.A. that might be getting something together along the lines of Indie 103.1, and I could do that. I’ve also been talking to Sirius (satellite radio) and could do something for them too. Right now I’m just taking it easy and sort of enjoying the down time, you know?

From http://twitter.com/klbj937 on March 21st;

if you want to sing Sex Pistol's with Steve Jones get to Best Buy on 290/Mopac 9:17 AM Mar 21st

Steve going to SXSW

From Twitter "chuckp8 Just spoke to Jonesy... he's going to SXSW, so if you're there, say hi. God, I miss him and his perverted ways."

See if you can spot..

when Indie went off the air.

Almost a 5th birthday.for the show

So near...

Steve interviewed

"Wherever I go, I will still do my show the same; I wouldn't change it. I don't think I should, and I hope any of these people that are thinking of hiring me aren't going to try to mold me into something else," Jones said. "I'd be bored out of me brain. I'd last two weeks if they had me reading some nonsense. If you want someone to read a piece of paper, just hire someone else. There's loads of people that do that."

"I want to thank everybody for listening to the show and supporting the station," says JONES. "It was an experience I truly enjoyed and the support I got from my fans and artists who came on the show was just incredible. I'd like to think we broke some rules and that everyone had a bloody good time. Thanks for listening."

UPDATE: I was scheduled to be on Jonesy's Jukebox again tomorrow (I now have the dubious distinction of being one of the final judges on last week's Jukebox Jury panel), and just received notification that my appearance has been canceled, which leads me to wonder whether Jonesy's Jukebox will remain as part of the Internet broadcast or whether Jonesy's not remaining with the station. Thusfar I've not gotten an answer to my query.

UPDATE #2: No Jonesy on the Internet, either. Apparently there will be no DJs on the online version of Indie 103.1. Indie's groundbreaking format is, in effect, dead.

Hey the Steve Jones posters are still there

Lemmy had made it in

There were some pictures here but they seem to have been removed from twitpic. Tedd ????

interesting !!!

.. and then Indie was gone

Thursday , January 15th , 2008 . 5 years , 3 weeks.

So long and thanks for all the fish !!!

( though they are broadcasting a message saying that they will continue over the internet. Whatever that means for shows and personalities. )

At least Steve wont have to drive to Sundance next week.

Sad thing is the mix they are playing just now as the format changes is the great music that the station moved away from playing over the years and had made them important in the first place.

Bye
