Henry Rollins: KCRW Broadcast #885

RADIO BROADCAST #88503-20–26Fanatic. I would like to note the passing of Tim Harrison, a man I knew for decades. He drove the bus on many tours I did all over North America. I got the word he was in hospice several hours down the road from me. As I was heading to him, he slipped away. We had a lot of laughs and some great times out there.I’m doing my best to catch up on listening. Quite often I’ll get a record as soon as it comes out, but it will take me a while to actually listen to it. There are a lot of records here, waiting to hit the turntable. There is an amazing musician, a multi instrumentalist, whose records I get just because his name is on them. He never lets me down. His name is Oren Ambarchi. Late last year, I got a record of his that at the time, had just come out called Dragon’s Return. I finally got it listened to a couple of nights ago. It’s really good. Mr. Ambarchi is quite prolific and seems to always be onto the next thing. He can be hard to keep up with sometimes. You can go to Bandcamp and check out what he’s been getting up to. https://orenambarchi.bandcamp. com/album/dragons-returnThe new Continuals album Never Sleep comes out today. This is a great record and I’m so glad the band was able to turn it around for release so quickly. You might remember we listened to their previous self-titled album quite a bit. We have a track from that record early in tonight’s show. Continuals features, Ryan Nelson, who you might remember from the cool band Soccer Team. Fellow soccer teammate, Melissa Quinley, features prominently on Never Sleep. They work so well together. It’s great to hear them again. In my opinion, Fanatic, this is excellent warm-to-hot weather listening. We will start in on it next week. https://continualsdc.bandcamp. com/album/never-sleepYou might remember last week, I told you about a test pressing that Larry and Ian had listened to, that I had not yet heard. A few days ago, I listened to it, and as Ian and Larry testified, it sounds great. We put the order in and as soon as we have records back, we will let you know. On even more cool things that we can’t tell you much about yet, a few days ago, I mastered a record with Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound. The results were incredible. He is a truly amazing engineer. We just finished the liner notes and the sticker for the cover. All that wrapped earlier today. I’m waiting for Larry to give me the command and Pete will get the lacquers cut. I will, of course, be in attendance to do real time Fanatic documentation. In my decades as an amateur music hyper-fan, this particular project eclipses anything I’ve ever been involved with. We can’t wait for you to hear this one.There’s a new release by that cool band Optic Sink. The Bandcamp page says there were only 80 pressed. I haven’t heard anything but the one track you get on the pre-order. You can check it out here. https://opticsink.bandcamp. com/album/relentless- metamorphosisThe new Damaged Bug album, Zuzax, is out today. We have a track from it on the show tonight. https://damagedbug.bandcamp. com/album/zuzaxWe have, for you tonight, Fanatic, a “veritable cornucopia” of tunes that will hopefully gratify your Epicurean palette of music appreciation. We aim to please. Have a great night of listening, and a tremendous, music-filled weekend. When in doubt, put a record on and no matter what, stay Fanatic. –– HenryWe’re on Blueskyhenryrollins21361.bsky.socialHour 101. Rites Of Spring - Hain's Point / Rites Of Spring02.

Henry Rollins: KCRW Broadcast #884

RADIO BROADCAST #88403-13–26Fanatic! I hope you had a great week. I just finished driving a van full of things for 30 hours and 44 minutes, with a break of 10 minutes of sleep at a truckstop in Oklahoma. Upon arrival, unfolding my body from the shape of the seat and getting out of the van was a small victory, but having to unload the van and then return it to the airport, all in one go, bordered on the miraculous.On the way, I listened to the tracks for tonight’s show twice. I do believe we have a great gathering of tunes. Standouts that occurred to me as I was driving, include the great phrasing of Scott Walker, the sheer awesomeness of the Beastie Boys track, how I’ve got to listen to all the Soccer Team records yet again, and how perfectly Paul Weller of the Jam snapshots the frustrations of a young person in the track we’re playing tonight, The Modern World.Also, perhaps selfishly, I want to include that while the miles went by, I came up with what I think is a great idea for a bit of music writing to do. I’m going to have to find some time to get into it in the next few months. Writing about music, on the glaringly sub-amateur level I do it on, is at best, hyperbolic and likely almost completely enthusiasm-based. I know this. I wish I had the cool sophistication of the music writers I admire, but I simply don’t. At some point over the summer, I’ll put in a mercifully abbreviated version of this idea, complete with a reference discography into our weekly show notes and write a far more painfully expanded version to go elsewhere at some point.You might remember several weeks ago, I told you I was mixing some tracks with our good pal and sonic ally, Ian MacKaye at Inner Ear Studios. It took some time to make people understand that neither Ian or I were on any of the tracks, that we were merely mixing old tracks from a multitrack tape that I’d retrieved weeks before. So far, I haven’t told you who the band is. I didn’t want to do that until we knew we were going to be able to release it. Here’s an update: the test pressings are back from the plant. Larry Hardy at In The Red Records says it sounds great, as does Ian. I have a copy that I’ll listen to over the weekend. If those two say it’s good to go, then I’m 100% sure it is. That means, we’ll get the record pressed up and to you as soon as possible. We can’t wait for you to hear it.Century, after century, humans, despite so much available history to learn from, keep perpetrating catastrophic and horrible campaigns that create unimaginable misery and generational trauma. The contorted logic they use to justify such madness is as transparent as it is obscene. I know you don’t need me to tell you any of this. Music is one thing humans created, in its best examples, that’s absolutely perfect. No matter how heartbreaking and disappointing the actions of people in power can be, we still have music. Engineer X, Engineer Am-Rock and myself are so glad to be able to provide you with some every week. To say we’re into it is an understatement. Thank you so much for tuning in.Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!! –– HenryWe’re on Blueskyhenryrollins21361.bsky.social

RADIO BROADCAST #88303-06–26Fanatic! I hope you had a tremendous week. It looks from all the budding trees in my neighborhood, that spring is underway. I don’t mind having the cold weather behind me.Last night, I listened to an album by our good pal and sonic ally Stephen O’Mally, released last year called But Remember What You Have Had. If you’re a fan of his guitar assault unit SUNN 0))), this is a slightly more Avant offering. I dig all of his solo records and this is yet another great installment.https://stephenomalley. bandcamp.com/album/but- remember-what-you-have-hadBack in February, Heather The Jerk released a new collection of music called Scroll If You Love Devil. She’s great. We’ll be starting tracks soon. https://heatherthejerk. bandcamp.com/album/scroll-if- you-love-devilSnooper has seen fit to release the demos they made for their Worldwide album. Really good.https://snooper7.bandcamp.com/ album/worldwide-demosOn March 13, Shop Talk will release their self titled 12”. We’ll start tracks soon.https://shoptalk.bandcamp.com/ album/s-tOn March 20, the new album by Damaged Bug, a.k.a. John Dwyer called Zuzax will be released.https://damagedbug.bandcamp. com/album/zuzaxOn April 24, Optic Sink has a new release called Relentless Metamorphosis. I pre-ordered mine yesterday. This band is always interesting. https://opticsink.bandcamp. com/album/relentless- metamorphosisThere are a lot of great records coming out this year. We’ve got some great listening to look forward to.Tonight we have what you hopefully will find to be a great soundtrack to start your weekend. The last few weeks, I found myself listening to a lot of Dion Lunadon’s music. I never get tired of him. I thought tonight we should go back to that great track he put out a few months ago. We have it in our first hour. Oh, that reminds me, you will see the Smoked Salmon track in hour one. That’s none other than the great Kim Salmon. Definitely worth checking out. The record was released today. https://kimsalmon.bandcamp. com/album/freudian-slippersWe hope you have a great weekend and that you get a lot of music listened to. As is the usual, we are finishing up work on next week’s show and it’s going to be great. Please tune in if you can. Have a fantastic night of listening and STAY FANATIC!!! –– Henry–– HenryWe’re on Blueskyhenryrollins21361.bsky.social

RADIO BROADCAST #88202-27–26Fanatic! I hope your week was stellar. I got some great listening in when I wasn’t proofreading. These three stand out.Boris - Live Noise Alive (red, black glitter swirl Japanese online store 100 pressed)Damaged Bug – ZuzaxUnissued Sixties Garage Acetates Vol. 05 Five - You Tore My Brain!We’re playing a track from an interesting record tonight. The band is called the Glass Cage. This is from the band camp page.“In the summer of 1968, five BC teenagers recorded an exciting six-song demo of West Coast garage psych. Cut to an acetate then lost to time for 50+ years. Until now.”Apparently, the record took about 10 years to finally get a release after the acetate was found. It’s a worthwhile listen. https://supremeecho.bandcamp. com/album/the-glass-cageLooking forward to playing the new Damaged Bug album Zuzax on the show later next month.https://damagedbug.bandcamp. com/album/zuzaxNew music by our good friend and sonic ally Kim Salmon.https://kimsalmon.bandcamp. com/album/freudian-slippersI just got a record by a band called Station Model Violence. I don’t know anything about them yet. I listened to some tracks and they sounded cool. We’ll put a track of theirs in the March 13 show. The record came out today. https://staticshockrecords. bandcamp.com/album/station- model-violenceOur good pal and sonic ally, Michael Mulholland, who resides and broadcasts out of beautiful Melbourne, Australia gave me the heads up that there is a new album by the great band EXEK called Prove The Mountains Move. Michael is a great source for excellent music. I do my best to always give him credit, but I must say, a lot of music that we listen to on our show is from his recommendations. Thanks, Michael! https://exek.bandcamp.com/ album/prove-the-mountains-moveDamn, albums are so expensive now. It’s an incredible buzz kill but that’s how it is.Fanatic, as we edge ever closer to Fanatic spring 2026, I can say, with the access to upcoming records that I have access to, some of which I’m intricately involved with, that we have some incredible music to look forward to this year. I think you’re going to be beyond stoked, you find yourself in a state of temporary disbelief.I just got an email from someone named Ian MacKaye. Decade after decade, he keeps writing me. One of these days, I’m going to figure out who this person is. Apparently he has a record label called Dischord. He said that he went and saw Kid Congo play last night and that El Kid, one of my favorite people in the history of humankind, was coming by to visit today. I am beside myself with jealousy and will have to find some way to cope. Reportedly, Kid and his incredible band are going to be doing dates in Europe with Liz Lamere opening. WOW! That’s a double bill I would like to see.Engineer X, Engineer Am-Rock and I will be putting the finishing touches on next week’s show over the weekend. I’m listening to the tracks as I’m writing this. Really cool show we’ve got lined up.If you take a look below, you will hopefully find tonight’s gathering of great jams to be to your liking. The Ryan Reidy tracks we’ve been playing from his album Fringe Body Parts are really rocking our second hour. https://ryanreidy.bandcamp. com/album/fringe-body-parts.As far as I’m concerned, winter is on its last legs and spring will soon be upon us. Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!! –– HenryWe’re on Blueskyhenryrollins21361.bsky.social

Henry Rollins: KCRW Broadcast #881

RADIO BROADCAST #88102-20–26Fanatic! Happy Friday. I hope you’ve been able to listen to great music since last week. I’ve been doing marathon proofreading and editing sessions that go from when I wake up until well into the night. This has kept me from the turntable, but this is work that must be done. This regimen will be in place for the next several days.You might remember, months ago, when I told you that I had mixed some songs with Ian MacKaye at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia. Probably, due to my mediocre writing skills, I wasn’t clear enough in my reportage and some folks were left under the impression that Ian and I were creating new music. We were actually mixing tracks from an old demo tape from 1979 that I located months before. The reason I’m bringing this up is the tracks came out sounding really good and two days ago, our good pal, the very talented engineer Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound, cut the lacquer for the record these tracks will be released on. He even cut an acetate for me so I could listen to the tracks at home. I sat in front of the speakers in his editing room, listening back to the tracks, while sending Ian and Larry Hardy at In The Red Records short videos so they could listen. It was very exciting to hear these tracks sound so good. The cover art, liner, notes, and labels are all done. The lacquer has been cut. It’s going to be the four tracks pressed on both sides of a 12”. That was Larry’s idea, very cool. The parts went off to the pressing plant and hopefully, we will have test pressing and vinyl to follow. So, what band is this? I’ll let you know when we get the records back. I will say this: it’s really good and we can’t wait for you to hear it. Stay tuned.Our good pal and sonic ally, Hannah Lew of the band Cold Beat, has a solo record coming out on April 10. Looking forward to this one. We are playing a track from it tonight. https://hannahlew.bandcamp. com/album/hannah-lew-2I’m really liking the Fringe Body Parts album by Ryan Reidy. You will find one of his tracks in the second hour. https://ryanreidy.bandcamp. com/album/fringe-body-partsAlso, I was able to secure the Misfits tracks from the Manny Martinez Tapes and a really cool version of their excellent song Hybrid Moments will start hour two. Glenn Danzig was an amazing singer right out of the box. I encourage you to find these tracks. We will be playing them in the weeks going forward.The new Takaat 10” Is Noise, Vol. 3 is really good. We will listen to a track from it tonight. https://takaat.bandcamp.com/ album/takaat-is-noise-vol-3Tonight’s offering by The Fall is from the band’s album The Unutterable, released in 2000. I wanted to remind you that this record just got the cool Cherry Red Records reissue treatment. Really worth checking out. https://thefallmusic.bandcamp. com/album/the-unutterable Fanatic, we really hope you enjoy tonight’s gathering of tracks and that you have a tremendous weekend. Thank you for listening and STAY FANATIC!!! –– Henry

RADIO BROADCAST #87902-06–26Fanatic! Happy February. I hope the weather isn’t giving you too much hassle. Depending on where you are, you might be baking, listening to your teeth chattering or something far more hospitable. I’m in spring-like weather, surrounded by fallen trees, sheared branches, and melting snow.Our good pal and sonic ally Hannah Lew, who you might know from the excellent band Cold Beat, has a solo record coming out in April. We’re going to play a track from it next week.https://hannahlew.bandcamp. com/album/hannah-lew-2In news that at this point might not necessarily surprise, John Dwyer has another record coming out. This time around, it’s his excellent outfit Damaged Bug. This is such a cool band. We have to wait until March 20 but of course it will be worth it. I’m listening to the pre-order track and it’s really good. On Bandcamp at least, the vinyl looks like it’s sold out but hopefully, that’s a temporary situation. Can’t wait to hear this one. https://damagedbug.bandcamp. com/album/zuzaxThis band T.Y. seems good. I’m on the Under The Gun Records mailing list and got the heads up on the group last night. We’ll start tracks from the record next week. https://utgrecords.bandcamp. com/album/we-r-tyAlso, another band on Under The Gun I think is worth checking out is 2m8o. We’ll get a track from them into next week’s show. https://utgrecords.bandcamp. comWe have a gathering of tunes for tonight that we hope you will greatly enjoy. Without a great amount of effort, you can scroll down and see what we’ll be serving up. Have a great night of listening, a tremendous, music-filled weekend and STAY FANATIC!!! –– HenryHour 101.

RADIO BROADCAST #87801-30–2601-30–26 Fanatic! I’m going to apologize in advance for the brevity of these notes. I am well into day number five of no electricity. Snow, fallen trees, downed powerlines, etc. I’m going to dash off these brief notes, then get into my car and try and find Internet access. I’m thinking of a strip mall parking lot down the road. I will send these notes off to those who know what to do with them and scurry back to my freezing abode before the slush turns back to ice and makes the roads treacherous. In big news, I went to the supermarket last night just to remember what heat felt like I was able to secure a can of coffee. I saved it for today to have something to look forward to. It doesn’t taste good, but I remember something David Lynch once said in an interview about even bad tasting coffee being good enough. He was of course, correct. Sleeping in below freezing temperatures is interesting. Fleece-lined sweatpants were a wise purchase. I’m going to do my best to get next week’s show off to Engineer X and Engineer Am-Rock. If I am unable, next week’s show will be a rerun. My great apologies. Hopefully, before it comes to that, electricity will be restored. Below you’ll see the tracks for tonight’s marvelous gathering of tunes. I’ve played these tracks at the gym a few times now and I think we definitely have a good show lined up for you.

Henry Rollins: KCRW Broadcast #877

RADIO BROADCAST #87701-23–26Fanatic! It looks like parts of the USA might be in for some rough weather over the weekend. Depending on where you live, you might find yourself in the supermarket, looking at empty shelves as people purchase with great concern for their very survival over what could be one or two days of inclement weather. In some cities, it’s an emergency. In others, it’s just winter. An hour ago, I saw men grimly pushing their shopping carts full of Gatorade, and frozen pizza, towards their trucks. Getting ready.In other news, Alan Vega’s early albums have been reissued.https://alanvega.bandcamp.com/ album/alan-vegahttps://alanvega.bandcamp.com/ album/collision-driveOrange Whip from Boston is worth checking out.https://orangewhip.bandcamp. com/album/orange-whipThe new David Boring album is really good.https://davidboring.bandcamp. com/album/liminal-beings-and- their-echoesWe have a good show lined up for you tonight which we hope you will enjoy no matter what temperature you are presently enduring.
