Punk legend Henry Rollins has launched new four-hour radio show The Cool Quarantine.
The one-time Black Flag frontman turned solo songwriter and spoken word artist is a figure on the airwaves, having held down numerous shows over the years.
This, however, looks different. Broadcast alongside KCRW, each instalment of The Cool Quarantine will last for four hours, covering the full span of Rollins' passions.
He comments:
For many years, I've had this idea for a long-form show. 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. 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 but without time constraints or worrying about FCC compliance.
It’s an extra slice of pizza. It will be completely indulgent.
