Episode notes
Woke Up With His Bed On Fire
- Mark Ronson once fell asleep smoking and woke to his comforter on fire while listening to the Juice soundtrack.
- He vividly remembers the exact song playing when he woke, which stuck with him as a formative teenage memory.
Book Party Stuck In The Booth
- Mark hosted a book-release party and DJed virtually the whole night, surrounded by favorite DJs and friends like Zane Lowe and Kevin Parker.
- He stayed in the booth the entire time and later discovered attendees praised it as one of LA's best recent parties.
Crowd Curation Shapes Party Vibe
- Ronson says parties now skew by intent: New York's book crowd was 'aging hip-hop' while LA's event felt ageless and eclectic.
- He implies curation and guest intent shape the vibe more than venue or hype alone.
