I went into Amoeba my first time in Los Angeles 4 years ago. That place is incredbile! I was in heaven. So many albums of of every kind. I wish they had one in Manhattan.

I friggin love Henry's taste in music! His radio show on KCRW is a fantastic 2 hour experience every Sunday night.

the one guy from the punk era who didn't destroy himself and is brutally honest very straight up no BS .

The one thing that has been consistent for years is Rollins never has an uninteresting suggestion for music or books, he to this day will show you stuff you've never heard of that is always interesting or intense. Hats off!

oh ive had such a crush on henry since i was an angsty teenage grrrl watching the liar video 😍

This reminds me of years ago when Henry played some very cool songs on the radio by a band I knew but I didn't know or have those particular songs or recordings he was playing. (hint, they're from a Nordic country, they had two different names at different periods, they did a great Roky Erickson cover and Lydia Lunch recorded a song with them) These recordings were part of a very extensive, out or print, box set and I was instantly hooked. I want that music bad but it's somewhat rare and quite expensive and I didn't have the dough. Anyway, I wrote Henry an email to thank him for turning me on to this music and I think I made a joke playing off something he said on air to the effect of "if I could nod my head and make __________ happen...". Henry replied with a nice note. He also included a digital download link of the entire box set! Wow!! Dude!!! Incredibly generous. Thank you!!! As I saw it Henry was lending me those records and that should only be temporary. Eventually I got the money and I wanted to do the right thing and buy that box set proper so I'd have the physical media in my hands and not feel like we might have done something less than totally correct. So I went to Discogs, I located a seller in Europe and I bought it at last. It was an arm and a leg to buy--for me anyway. I don't remember how much now but that's not what's important and that's the point I'm driving at. What's important... what I do appreciate and I will always remember is I have that music in my library now, Henry turned me on to it and let me 'borrow it' so to speak. That's what's in my bag. Thank you, Henry. Fanatically...
