Description

Episode 180  of The Quarantine Tapes concludes the two-part special video presentation of the conversation featuring Henry Rollins, the first guest on The Quarantine Tapes one year ago. Henry Rollins joins Onassis LA Executive Director Paul Holdengräber, dublab co-founder Mark “Frosty” McNeill, and dublab Executive Director Alejandro Cohen for a socially distant conversation on the past year of The Quarantine Tapes, art during the pandemic, and what might be next after this moment.Their conversation touches on what the role of radio has been during the pandemic, the process of working during this time, and what it means to create and nurture community over the radio. Then, the guests discuss the origins of dublab and the joys of connecting dublab’s community to The Quarantine Tapes’ community over the past year and consider what might come next as we move beyond this time. About Henry Rollins:In describing Henry Rollins, the tendency is to try to squeeze as many labels as possible into a single sentence. “Rollins is many things,” says The Washington Post, “diatribist, confessor, provocateur, humorist, even motivational speaker…his is an enthusiastic and engaging chatter.”  Entertainment Weekly’s list includes “Punk Rock icon. Spoken word poet. Actor. Author. DJ. Is there anything this guy can’t do?” TV Guide has more concisely called him a “Renaissance Man” but if Henry Rollins could be reduced to a single word, that word would undoubtedly be “workaholic.” When he’s not traveling, Rollins prefers to keep a relentless schedule full of work, with gigs as an actor, author, DJ, voice-over artist and TV show host to name a few of the roles that keep his schedule full. Rollins has toured the world as a spoken word artist, as frontman for both Rollins Band and Black Flag and as a solitary traveler with insatiable curiosity, favoring road-less-traveled locales in places such as Nepal, Sri Lanka, Siberia, North Korea, South Sudan and Iran.About Mark “Frosty” McNeill:Mark “Frosty” McNeill is a DJ, radio producer, curator, and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. He’s the founder of  dublab.com, a pioneering web radio station that has been exploring wide-spectrum music since 1999. McNeill hosts weekly radio shows for dublab and Red Bull Music Academy Radio. As Adventure Time, he and Daedelus have created new worlds of sound and alongside dublab colleagues he activates the Golden Hits dream machine. Frosty has performed high concept DJ sets around the globe with the mission of sharing transcendent sonic experiences. About Alejandro Cohen:Alejandro Cohen is a musician and composer from Los Angeles, California, and the executive director of DUBLAB. Over the last two decades, Cohen has released music under numerous projects and groups including Languis and Pharaohs. He’s composed music for TV shows, documentaries and educational materials, and recorded more than two hundred solo artists and bands as a sound engineer and consultant for dublab, KPFK 90.7 FM, Sony/Columbia and the Society for the Activation of Social Space Through Art and Sound (SASSAS). As dublab’s Executive Director, Cohen curates the station’s programming and podcast offerings, fundraises for the organization and curates the annual ambient music event Tonalism. About Paul Holdengräber:Paul Holdengräber is an interviewer and curator.
