===Radio and podcast=== ====Weekly radio show (2004–2009)==== On May 19, 2004, Rollins began hosting a weekly radio show, ''Harmony in My Head'', on [[Indie 103.1]] radio in Los Angeles. The show aired every Monday evening, with Rollins playing music ranging from early rock and [[jump blues]] to [[hard rock]], [[blues rock]], [[folk rock]], [[punk rock]], [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] and [[rockabilly]], and touching on [[hip hop]], [[jazz]], [[world music]], [[reggae]], classical music and more. ''Harmony in my Head'' often emphasizes B-sides, live [[bootleg recording|bootlegs]] and other rarities, and nearly every episode has featured a song either by the [[Beastie Boys]] or British group [[The Fall (band)|The Fall]].{{Citation needed|date=March 2023}} Rollins put the show on a short hiatus from early to late 2005, to undertake a spoken-word tour.{{citation needed|date=August 2023}} Upon resuming the show, Rollins kicked off his return by playing the show's namesake [[Buzzcocks]] song. In 2008, the show was continuing each week, despite Rollins's constant touring, with new pre-recorded shows between live broadcasts. The show ended when the station went off the air in 2009.<ref name="fanatic">{{cite web | url=https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/stay-fanatic-vol-1-henry-rollins/1138786003 | title=Stay Fanatic!!! Vol. 1: Hectic Expectorations for the Music Obsessive | publisher=Barnes & Noble | work=Overview | date=27 April 2018 | accessdate=7 August 2023 | author=Rollins, Henry | quote=You might remember Fanatic! volumes 1-3, which were published between 2004 and 2007. I had a radio show at a station called Indie 103.1. I was there from 2004 to early 2009 when they signed off. I made extensive notes for each show and annotated each song. I thought that they might be useful for people who were curious about music and they were really fun to write. The Fanatic! books were {{sic|comprised |hide=y|of}} these notes. When Indie closed its doors in 2009, I felt bad for the station and that all the people who had put so much into making it great were suddenly out of a job. Selfishly, I felt bad for myself as I really dug having a radio show. Playing music for people is something I've always liked. Having this as an actual job was incredible. ~. I found that I really liked writing about music, so I kept on typing up brief show notes, which I still do every week. However, I wanted to write about music beyond what I was doing for the radio show. I wanted to take advantage of the fact that I've been collecting records, flyers, set lists, clip- pings and other music related materials since the late 1970s. I wanted to be able to scan these pieces as images, imbed them on pages and write about them. I wanted to take the reader into a world of obsessive gathering and organizing. Otherwise, this stuff just sits in acid-free environments, for the most part, unseen. I also wanted to detail the record stores I go to all over the world, the epic searches I've embarked on to locate records and music related items, the shows I've been to, and so on. Basically a life of being a total music Fanatic. So, how to do it? I tried to come up with ideas as to how to put all the enthusiasm I had for music and records into a format that would be fun for me to write and enjoyable for someone to read.}}</ref> ====Weekly radio show (2009–present)==== On February 18, 2009, [[KCRW]] announced that Rollins would be hosting a live show on Saturday nights starting March 7, 2009,<ref>{{cite news| url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2009/02/henry-rollins-r.html | title=Pop & Hiss | date=2009-02-18 | work=Los Angeles Times}}</ref> which has since been moved to Sunday nights at 8:00{{spaces}}p.m.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://blogs.kcrw.com/pressroom/2013/04/kcrw-announces-changes-to-weekend-programming-schedule/ | title=KRCW Programming Changes|website=Blogs.kcrw.com | date=2013-04-15}}</ref> As of Aug 2023, Rollins has hosted 748 episodes.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/henry-rollins/kcrw-broadcast-748 | title=KCRW Broadcast 748 | publisher=[[KCRW]] | date=5 August 2023 | accessdate=7 August 2023 | author=Rollins, Henry | quote=A good show lined up for you.
