Henry Rollins’ Latest Broadcast: The Saints, Hierophants & Still More Dino-Mania!!!

Fanatic! I am in NYC at this time, one Dinosaur Jr. show a night. It’s Wednesday, December 9. Tonight is the last show of the 7 at the Bowery Ballroom.

Every night has been great and unique. Mike Watt hit stage last night and the band did “TV Eye” and “Fun House.” One of the high points of the run. Bob Mould guested a few nights ago and that was amazing as well. The guests have all been great but of course, it’s the band that is really delivering. Damn, J, Lou and Murph are playing well. It’s been a blast to see them night after night.

The below tunes were assembled several days ago so I have had the chance to listen down a couple of times and I think we have yet another good show. Engineer X, Engineer Am-Rock and myself are merely the ones who place the music and get it to leave the station and go to you. As always, the music is the star of the show. In a way, it is only ours to screw up, so we try to be as careful as we can to never do that.

When I get back to Los Angeles, I will be working on our January shows and can’t wait to get started on 2016.

I ran into Page Hamilton from Helmet last night. He says he has some new work finished and promised to keep in touch, so hopefully we will hear what he’s up to at some point next year.

We hope you dig the show we have for you and we look forward to getting together with you next week.

Keep it weird and STAY FANATIC!!!
