Perhaps you remember him as Spider in "Johnny Mnemonic"? That's right, tomorrow night, Mr. Henry Rollins will be sharing stories and vinyl treasures from his music vault for this first-ever listening party presented by KCRW.

Show has just sold out, but tickets are still floating around on the Craig's list or wear that council member Eric Garcetti costume you have laying around, and "inspect the premises" for "official business."

There are several points where the video looks grainy, adding to the effect of the song. (via wikipedia)

Get Paula Cole on vinyl! I smell reeeeeeemixxxxxx!
