Henry Loves New Yorke

Radiohead maestro Thom Yorke’s solo album, The Eraser, hits record-sellers today. Fans are gonna really dig it. And you’re also gonna like to know that Henry Rollins features Thom on his IFC show, aptly titled The Henry Rollins Show, this Saturday, July 15th, at 10pm. On the show (thanks for the tip Stereogum), Yorke performs an acoustic version of the tune, “The Clock.” And he also does “Cymbal Rush,” and even arm wrestles Henry. (Hey, I’m sure Thom's got some wiry spirit, but my arm-muscle money is on Mr. Rollins.) You can watch some of Thom's performance here!

If you’ve not checked out The Henry Rollins Show, do so. It’s a great, rather lefty, music-packed series. Recent guests have included Peaches, Ben Folds, Death Cab for Cutie, Aimee Mann, Dashboard Confessional, Jurassic 5—and many more. Online there are cool videos to watch, and there are always entertaining “in the field” segments, and Henry riffing on topics like fast food, summer camp, and reality TV.

And yes, Henry’s still fantastically opinionated, rigid, bracingly intelligent… And kinda hot.
