Went to Vegas to see one of my favorite humans in universe, Georgia, get married to my new friend Torey. They walked down the aisle to Merle Haggardās āThatās The Way Love Goesā at the Little Church of The West, Wedding Chapel. Such a dreamā¦
Ok. I. Had a stroke slash seizure Well 2 actually. Iām ok now. But this happened Sunday and I am just coming to basically now Iām home. I love all of you. Thanks for all the text messages. Go to my Record store and buy Recordās so I can pay the doctors for all the Aunt diarrhea medication they gave me because remember I had two strokes, but Iām fine and I love you all. Iām texting with my voice because, texting with my thumbs was getting really annoying and was giving me nausea and Iām watching the Olympics in bed right now. This is a picture of me when I used to not have strokes. I figured I looked cuter than I did in this sort of diaper they put me in in case I shot my pants.
Billy Jones is a New York City based musician and DJ, and owner of scene haven Babyās All Right as well as the recently opened Billyās Record Salon in Brooklyn. As a fixture of the New York underground, Jonesā desire and continued ability to stoke community through uplifting acts steeped in obscurity has planted Babyās squarely in the focal point of all that is interesting about the cityās current musical climate. He is, in many ways, a glimpse into the New York that many mid twenty-somethings can only daydream about experiencing -- the pre-streaming, Facebook Events driven, Daft Punk is playing at my house, āIām on the listā in smudged eyeliner and faux fur, moment. Heās been around the block, and in his eyes, the moment is far from over.
As our co-founder and fearless leader Kat Johnston says, āHeās a true renaissance man. No like, he really does it all, seriously you wouldnāt believe this guy. Heās best friends with your dad and your scene crush. He is (please donāt copyright me) everything, everywhere, all at once. In this interview, youāll be lucky enough to read about his journey, stories, and opinions. Thank you so much to Billy who allowed us to conduct this interview, you are now and forever, the man.ā
