<\/div>\n

Even in self-isolation, Henry Rollins<\/a> is maintaining a busy work schedule.<\/p>\n

Unable 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\u2019s dubbed The Cool Quarantine<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The 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 \u2014 along with bootleg audio from the concert and a bootleg MacKaye made of the Cramps. Rollins also shares stories about the early days of MacKaye\u2019s Dischord Records \u2014 which put out Rollins\u2019 first seven-inch with S.O.A. \u2014 and his time in Black Flag.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor many years, I\u2019ve had this idea for a long-form show,\u201d Rollins said in a statement. \u201cI 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\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea is that you\u2019re in your room and Engineer X and I come over with a bunch of records,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe 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\u2019s go long! It\u2019s kind of like the show we do on Sundays [on KCRW] but without time constraints or worrying about FCC compliance. It\u2019s an extra slice of pizza. It will be completely indulgent. Fanatic, of course, and hopefully, as Iggy Pop, the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of Rock & Roll says, \u2018a real cool time.’\u201d<\/p>\n

The program features Rollins playing deep cuts, rarities, bootlegs, full albums and EPs, among other selections from his record collection. In addition to the Zeppelin and Cramps bootlegs, he plays audio from his original pressings of Joy Division\u2019s albums in the first episode, which is available on the station\u2019s website and app.<\/p>\n

Rollins has been hosting a weekly, Sunday night show for KCRW \u2014 which broadcasts out of Santa Monica, California \u2014 for years. The station has logged, at press time, 575 episodes<\/a> of his weekly show, which will continue in addition to The Cool Quarantine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Before announcing The Cool Quarantine<\/em>, Rollins recently spoke with Rolling Stone <\/em>about how he\u2019s spending his time in self-isolation. \u201cActually, my schedule hasn\u2019t really shifted as I work in an office that\u2019s in my home,\u201d he said. \u201cI have a list of tasks that I do my best to execute. I get up and hit it. I live alone and don\u2019t know many people, so on a day-to-day basis, for the most part, my life goes on as normal.\u201d<\/p>\n
