“Now that many of us are under some kind of confinement, we might as well get some good listening happening.' Henry Rollins is hosting a new 'Cool Quarantine' online radio show for KCRW
Scott Dudelson/Getty ImagesUnable to tour or perform spoken-word shows, the former Black Flag and Rollins Band frontman has launched a new online radio show for KCRW that he’s dubbedThe debut episode, which runs four hours, features a story about Rollins and his pal, Minor Threat and Fugazi frontman Ian MacKaye, seeing Led Zeppelin in 1977 — along with bootleg audio from the concert and a bootleg MacKaye made of the Cramps.
“For many years, I’ve had this idea for a long-form show,” Rollins said in a statement. “I mean really long-form. Like hours. To do it terrestrially would be difficult because I would be crowding other shows out. But if it was online, hey. It’s as many songs as I want, language issues are not a factor, and if anyone gets bored, they can just turn it off or mark the time they checked out and resume later.
“The idea is that you’re in your room and Engineer X and I come over with a bunch of records,” he continued. “We play you songs, I tell you stories and we do time together. Now that many of us are under some kind of confinement, we might as well get some good listening happening. Let’s go long! It’s kind of like the show we do on Sundays [on KCRW] but without time constraints or worrying about FCC compliance. It’s an extra slice of pizza. It will be completely indulgent.
