RADIO BROADCAST #89205-08–26Fanatic! I hope you had a tremendous week of tolerable temperatures and life-affirming listening. Here is some of what I checked out.Spitting Image - Full SunNo Peeling - EP2Fuzz - Fuzz's Fourth DreamUK Subs - Diminished ResponsibilityThe Lord and Petra Haden - DevotionalTonight we rock another track from the Knights Of Molinohttps://knightsofmolino. bandcamp.com/track/teenage- phaseHere’s some information on Draamakuuhttps://fonal.com/new- draamakuu-single-and-video- out-now/Check out these completely crazy auctions that recently happened at Bonham’shttps://www.bonhams.com/ auction/32329/lot/37/the- damnedbrian-james-the-gibson- sg-standard-electric-guitar- used-extensively-on-damned- damned-damned-and-music-for- pleasure-1964/https://www.bonhams.com/ auction/32329/lot/35/the- damnedbrian-james-original- and-unique-handwritten-lyrics- for-new-rose-1976/https://www.bonhams.com/ auction/32329/lot/136/uk-subs- original-signed-album-artwork- for-diminished-responsibility- 1981/I always wonder where things like that end up. What do you think Brian would say if he saw his guitar go for that much money?! I met him once, in 2007. It was an honor. He was really cool. I never thought I would see any evidence of the cover artwork for Diminished Responsibility. I was texting back-and-forth with Miriam Linna a few days ago. She was on the hunt for some information. We both hit on the fact that when it comes to music, there’s always more to know. It’s been my experience that when it comes to music research, it’s only getting more and more interesting.The new Les Rallizes Dénudés release came out digitally today.https://lesrallizesdenudes. bandcamp.com/album/disque-4- 76-studio-et-liveCan’t wait to hear this one on vinyl.Tonight, we have what you will hopefully find to be a great mix of tunes. I’ve played the tracks through a few times and I think we have a great Friday night soundtrack. Thank you so much for tuning in, have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!! –– Henry

Henry Rollins: KCRW Broadcast #891
RADIO BROADCAST #89105-01–26Fanatic! I hope you had a tremendous week. Last night, I listened to the new SUNN 0))) album that just came out on Sub Pop. It sounds incredible. If you like the band, I suggest you run and do not walk to this one. https://sunn.bandcamp.com/ album/sunn-o-2 New noise from John Dwyer. A snapshot of music he’s calling Heathen Axe. Looks like the vinyl sold out, but you can still get the download. I hope he presses more. https://johndwyer.bandcamp. com/album/heathen-axe A new download from Boris is available. https://boris.bandcamp.com/ album/fangsanalsatan-vol-25- in-gifu It’s not for me to get ahead of a band, but I just got a download of a record by one of our good pals and sonic allies that I can’t wait to get onto the show. I don’t see a release date for it anywhere yet, but when I do, I will let you know. Another thing to look forward to. Fanatic, I’m not sure what the calendar says, but as far as I’m concerned, Fanatic Summer starts on the first of May and this is our first summer show. We hope you enjoy our gathering of tunes tonight. Until next week, keep the music going and STAY FANATIC!!! –– Henry

Henry Rollins: KCRW Broadcast #890
RADIO BROADCAST #89004-24–26Fanatic! What a week. Early Sunday morning, I drove down to Miami to work with my old pal, Susie J. If that name is at all familiar, it’s because her photographs grace the covers of early Dischord releases. We spent three days at a great dark room facility, printing images from my negative and transparency collection. On Wednesday evening, we wrapped. Early Thursday morning after a power nap, I drove north out of Florida. The state of Georgia, at least when I was driving through it, seemed to be one long traffic jam, with two traffic accidents to make things even slower. I don’t know why, but I truly don’t mind driving long distances. I got back, unloaded the car, ate a small meal and fell asleep, fully clothed, with the lights on. I was only planning on taking a brief nap so I could watch some news, but I ended up coma-sleeping for about eight hours. I snapped awake at 0320 hrs. and have been going ever since.I just ordered a copy of this.OOIOO / Lightning Bolt - The Horizon Spirals / The Horizon Viralhttps://lightningbolt. bandcamp.com/album/the- horizon-spirals-the-horizon- viralI managed to get a copy of the Coltrane live in Paris 1965 RSD 4LP set. Looking forward to hearing it. Looks like there are some on Discogs if you’re interested.Fanatic, tonight we have a tremendous selection of textures, tones and tunes, thoughtfully sequenced with your maximum enjoyment in mind. Have a great night of listening, a tremendous weekend and STAY FANATIC!!! –– Henry

Henry Rollins: KCRW Broadcast #889
RADIO BROADCAST #88904-17–260947 hrs. Fanatic! The power has been out in my neighborhood for about 14 hours. One day, probably not soon enough for my liking, my town will master this whole electricity in a storm thing. As it is now, I’m communicating unplugged, as it were, and will have to find some way to send this out to you. In less than 90 minutes, I will be in the studio for a mastering session. Hopefully, I can utilize their Internet connection. My strategy will be to get to the studio early, hopefully get online and complete these notes with Internet access. More soon.1030 hrs. At the studio. My neighbor texted me and said a powerline had come down at the bottom of the street. As I drove by, I saw multiple trucks and men working away. Hopefully, the power will be back on soon.I hope you have a long list of vinyl interests for tomorrow’s RSD. I’ve only been through the list once but will check it again if I can get online. There’s a multi LP Coltrane set from 1965 being offered. Just my opinion—not a second of any live Coltrane performance should be missed, but 1965 was an incredible year for Coltrane. I believe I picked up bootleg CDs of the 1965 Paris radio broadcasts in France at the beginning of 1992. I think that was the tour where Elvin Jones did his last shows with the Quartet. Live versions of A Love Supreme tracks! I hope I find a copy of this one.https://recordstoreday.com/ SpecialRelease/20156This 1974 live King Crimson album seems like it would be worth checking out.https://recordstoreday.com/ SpecialRelease/20213I have a lot of bootlegs from that tour. This show can also be found on the exhaustive Road To Red box set. https://www.discogs.com/ master/628354-King-Crimson- The-Road-To-Red21 CDs! I did it, one CD a day, in 2023. Totally worth it.1749 hrs. Back from the studio. An amazing day of work. I can’t wait for you to hear this one. The men in the trucks working on the powerlines have been replaced by other men and other trucks, removing the tree that fell on the powerlines. Electricity is back.We have a tremendous gathering of tunes for you, which we hope you will enjoy.

Henry Rollins: KCRW Broadcast #888
RADIO BROADCAST #88804-10–26Fanatic! I hope you had a great week and got some records listened to. I very much enjoyed hearing the new Continuals album on vinyl and have the new album by Sunn 0))) lined up for the weekend.Over the last few weeks, I’ve been recommending a lot of new records to you. I hope you don’t mind.There’s a band called Season 2 that is definitely worth checking out. Australian Fanatics can find the record on the Spoilsport label and those in the UK can find it on Upset! The Rhythm. That might be a little closer to your locale.Here is the Australian address.https://season-2.bandcamp.com/ album/power-of-now-ausAnd here is the UK address.upsettherhythm.bandcamp.com/ album/power-of-nowFirst time on our show tonight is a band called Knights of Molino. This is their Bandcamp address.https://knightsofmolino. bandcamp.com/track/take-back- controlFanatic, I must say, I am grateful to be able to work with Engineer X and Engineer Am-Rock every week. I am grateful that there is still work to be done and that every day I wake up a bit behind schedule. It keeps the blood thin and adds urgency to my existence. Larry and I are working on yet another project and we are set to master in a few days. I’m really looking forward to this session. I think this one is going to bring out the best of myself and the excellent engineer Pete Lyman. I’ve come to really enjoy the challenge of mastering. I think we’re going to be able to get great results. After that’s over, I have yet another high caloric expenditure project that I’m looking forward to starting. The rest of this year will be extremely busy. All of these efforts will be object-oriented, and I’llbe able to report to you on release dates for all of them. There are now projects going into next year that will require quite a bit of application. I am grateful and excited for all of it.I’m sure you’re well aware of what’s happening in the world currently. Humans can really let you down, but music rarely does. We’re very lucky to have access to it. Tonight’s show is a testament to that. Thank you so much for tuning in. Have a great night of listening, an excellent weekend, and STAY FANATIC!!! –– Henry

Henry Rollins: KCRW Broadcast #887
RADIO BROADCAST #88704-03–26Fanatic. I hope you had a tremendous week and are gearing up for an even better weekend. I’ve been slightly off my game over the last few days as far as getting time in front of the speakers. That’s not to say I haven’t been doing music-oriented work. We just cut the lacquers on a project Larry Hardy and I have been working on for the last several weeks. The parts are all at the pressing plant and we are eagerly awaiting test pressings. Of course, I will keep you in the loop on the progress of this project. I can say that I think you’re going to really dig it. So, that’s some good news and there’s even more good news. We just started preliminary work on yet another incredibly cool project. We are set to master in a couple of weeks. No idea when this one’s coming out, but it will, and I think you’re going to find it very much to your liking.If you are a fan of SUNN 0))), their new album came out today. Can’t wait to hear this one.https://sunn.bandcamp.com/ album/sunn-o-2Here’s information on the very cool Dion Lunadon album that’s coming out soon. Not soon enough for my liking! https://dionlunadon.bandcamp. com/album/rare-gems-volume-oneI just got word that Bettina Köste of the great German band Malaria passed away last month. The first time I went to Berlin, when it was still called West Berlin, at the beginning of 1983, I was immediately fascinated by the city and what I understood the music scene. Several records and many hours of listening later, I became a huge fan. Malaria was one of the first bands, I heard. I Bettina in Berlin on a later tour. We’ve listened to Malaria a few times on the show. Really great music and part of an amazing music scene.Stephanie Chernikowski, the excellent photographer, who documented the music scene in NYC for decades, passed away two days ago. She was an amazing artist and a truly good person. There’s a very good chance you’ve seen her photos. You need look no further than the cover of the Cramps’ Gravest Hits 12”. Years ago, I was working on a record for Alan Vega. We needed press photos. I knew that Alan, while extraordinarily photogenic, was not exactly a fan of sitting still for a photo session. That’s why I asked Stephanie if she would do it. She photographed Suicide many times and I knew that Alan liked her and that we would get great shots between her talent, and Alan being relaxed around her. She asked me if I had any requests. I said beyond her doing her thing, I would like to get some shots with the lighting was such that she made Alan look like a silent film star. The portrait is my absolute favorite of Alan. Her photos of Roky Erickson are amazing. She made a book of her photographs called Dream Baby Dream Images From The Blank Generation that’s worth finding.Several days ago, music producer extraordinaire Nick Launay contacted me and said he’d just finished a record with the Gang Of Four. No way! He sent me some tracks. They’re really good. There’s no set date for release yet. He asked if I wanted to play the track No Kings Here on the show. You will find it in our second hour. Big thanks to Nick and the band for letting us play the song for you.I just got sent in advance of an album that’s coming out in June. It’s a collaboration with Lee Perry and Mouse On Mars, called Spatial, No Problem. You can hear a track now. We’ll start it in May.https://mouseonmars.bandcamp. com/album/spatial-no-problemA reissue of the Sheriff Lindo album Aftershock Dubs comes out in May. Very cool record.https://emrecords.bandcamp. com/album/aftershock-dubs- 2026-repressWe hope you enjoy tonight’s gathering of tunes and that you have a splendid and safe weekend. Be good and stay Fanatic –– Henry
