The . . . odd . . . opinions of Henry Rollins

And he's shit in the Jackass movie as well.

What wasn't shit in the Jackass movie?

The scenes that actually involved shit

I assume you are speaking of Cathy Rogers, creator and host of Scrapheap Challenge and (more importantly) keyboard player from Heavenly. Black Flag and Heavenly team-up = classic regardless of the quality of the show.

What wasn't shit in the Jackass movie?

David: you = fool. Ryan Dunn shoving a toy car up his ass is obviously the finest achievement of humanity.

Lenny Henry to thread!

Anyway I get a huge kick out of seeing Cathy on teevee since Heavenly is one of my favorite bands ever - and then pairing her with Hank Rollins is just too strange to even be real.

But, really, he's been around long enough to not be too-punk-for-Madonna and tuned in enough to make educated political statements. Who cares if he rags on easy targets like Bono and the Hummer H2, he still will hit on shit I haven't had the time to think about in my meager 23 years.

I agree with most of the stuff he says, and the rest I find entertaining anyhow.

Hank's my dog.

"The troops, they're my heroes," Rollins said. "You don't need me out there like some Tokyo Rose. I wouldn't go on a tear on Bush out there, because it'd be distracting."

Singer/spoken-word artist Henry Rollins had an interesting take on Britney Spears during a recent interview with Sun Media.

Rollins was talking about how it always is a good idea to befriend the sound engineers at any music studio, because they're the ones with the best stories.

"They have the black chick come in and sing, and Britney sings over it, and they mix them together," said Rollins, who has his own talk show on IFC.

"(Britney) gets her phrasing basically from this older R&B woman. I found that out talking to an engineer.

"Britney apparently isn't actually the worst singer, she just has no feel. So they bring in this older black woman who sings the song, then Britney sings to it, and they kind of make a mix of the two voices, and that's what you hear on the records."

The . . . low self- . . . opinions of Henry Rollins

This is really odd:

how so

can you summarize so I don't have to listen to the henry rollins podcast

weird teen on ritalin gets told to toughen up by well-meaning teacher

The podcast has been pretty fun so far, kind of a throw back to his earlier talking records (Sweatbox, Human Butt, etc)

how so

Yeah, I guess you summed it up. But it was also a little creepy and off in that Rollins way (and I like Henry, he's just weird)

I didn't think it was creepy at all.

Assuming all of Henry's targeted social media ads are for black or grey t-shirts

I’m always ready to lol at Rollins but I gotta admit a lot of those are pretty nice looking shelves tbf

I was thinking to myself, I'd love to have a big room just so I could put a bunch of shelves up for my stuff. It would be cool to have it all laid out like that.

tbf, musician/spoken word/author/collector guy is exactly who I would expect to be hanging around shelves all the time. Next thing you know, they'll have a photo essay of librarians posing with books.

Turned on KCRW Sunday night while working and happened to hear his show. Henry’s gonna Henry as a talker, but with the music there was lots of good rare interesting stuff.

he should post to ilm with all the CDs he's hoarding

4 hour podcast if you dare:

https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/music-special/henry-rollins-radio-longform-joy-division-ian-mackaye

Seems to be streaming audio, no podcast option, unless I have too many plug-in blockers (but I ctrl+f'd the source code for the page)

I like to think of him looking for his Buggles test-pressing ($17 on Ebay) in that photograph.

The Impulse! section needs some work, Henry. Man, that's a tidy collection.

This could potentially make a thread but which musicians/commentators have their own personal version of Godwin's law, ie:

Rollins mentioning his quite good friends with Ian MacKaye
Don Letts mentioning he worked with the Clash

?

Donovan: Beatles/Zep
