Henry Rollins - KCRW

Fanatic! I hope you’ve had a great week and had a chance to listen to a lot of music. I’ve been getting quite a bit in.

The Damned at the 100 Club from July 1976 is a great bit of live early Damned. I got it years ago before it went out of print. It was reissued on Radiation. It’s an audience tape but all the music’s there. Drummer Rat Scabies is fantastic. I think he was the Damned’s secret weapon. Wire’s Not About To Die album, the Pink Flag version sounds great at this time of the year. I got it as a bootleg many years ago but then Wire put it out officially from the master tapes. Stellar listening.

If you notice, we’re listening yet again to Jimmy Lloyd’s Rocket In My Pocket at the top of our second hour. Three times this year! I know. I just think it’s a perfect song and it keeps finding its way into the show.

Phil Lesh, the bass player in the Grateful Dead passed away. He was a great musician. I’m so glad I got to see him play a few times.

Yesterday, Engineer X and I finished work on next week’s show yesterday. I think it’s a great start for November. We hope you dig tonight’s show. Thanks for listening. Have a great week and STAY FANATIC!!!
