Smile, You're Traveling is the third installment in the Black Coffee Blues series of books (which include Black Coffee Blues and Do I Come Here Often?). This time around Rollins reports from show tours and frequent flier financed travel during 1997 and 1998. Whether being terrified by roving gangs of baboons in Kenya or haggling with immigration officials over visa charges in Madagascar, Rollins finds a way to make his unique experiences universal. Says our weather beaten scribe of his journeys, "Some of it was cool, some of it was a pain in the ass, or maybe that was just me."

The construction of Human Butt was at the time, an ambitious undertaking. I sat on the floor of a small apartment and went through several cassette and DAT tapes until I had what I thought would pass as a 2CD set of material. Thrilled by this new format, I put it together and flung it out into the world. It went out of print almost immediately. It took awhile (years) but we finally got around to re-releasing it. For many of you, this is a new record, for others, just an echo of a bygone era. Please enjoy these ancient ramblings from the last century. – Henry Rollins

CD#1:
1. Adventures Of An Asshole (Chicago 1989)
2. Kicked In The Ass By Adventure (Santa Monica 1989)

Welcome to the re-issue of my first attempts at a talking record release. For the re-release of Big Ugly Mouth, I figured I would embarrass myself totally and include my first ever talking release Short Walk On a Long Pier. It was initially a cassette only release and it took all the money I had. Later, a short run was made on LP in Canada and then it went out of print. So here it is again, first time on CD. It’s just awful. I figured if I put it in for free you couldn’t get too mad about how wretched it is. As for Big Ugly Mouth, we sent it to engineer supreme Phil Klum to even out the levels of the tracks and clear it up some so it should sound better this time around. Enjoy . . . or something. Thanks. --Henry

Sweatbox was a low budget, high ambition project. Originally it was a three LP set that I lugged by the box load on early talking tours. Eventually it hit CD on Quarter Stick where it resided happily for many years. Now, we're remastering and re-releasing all the early material on 213, upgrading sonically with ace engineer Phil Klum at the helm and adding tracks when we can. The previous Sweatbox is missing one track off the original LP. It was recorded in Budapest, Hungary where I was asked to read for some students before the Rollins Band show that night. Anyway, we added it on this version as an extra track at the end of disc 2. If it's too awful for you, you can always just hit stop! At least the set will be slightly more definitive. Also, it's great to have Phil Klum go over these tapes and do all that can be done to clean them up and even out the levels. Definitely what a re-release should be all about. I hope you like these ancient recordings. -- Henry Rollins

When we were in the studio making the Life Time album, we recorded the cover songs we played on the tour that has just ended. Taking advantage of the relatively new medium of CD, I stuck on a bunch of live stuff from the tour along with the studio tracks and put it out as a CD EP for really cheap. I figured it would do the band a good turn by letting people hear how we sounded live, which was what we were really all about. Thanks for listening. –Henry Rollins (2007 Los Angeles, CA

I wanted to integrate some additional sounds to the mix on this recording. I brought in jazz greats Charles Gayle (saxophone, violin, and piano) and Radhied Ali (the drummer who played with John Coltrane from 1966 until Coltrane's passing in 1967). Charles read the piece and lead the two of them according to how the book made him feel. The music is brilliant, stark, and intense. -- Henry Rollins

25 years ago, New Wave in the Washington DC area was gasoline on the ground waiting for someone to toss a lit cigarette onto it. My store in Rockville, MD, Yesterday And Today Records, and Bill Asp’s Virginia Record & Tape Exchange were the only outlets for the records and very few local clubs were interested in booking new acts. Dave Howcroft, who wrote the original liner notes for this record, had a show on WGTB-FM called the "Pugsley Dog Hour" that championed the new music from the UK, NY, and the West Coast, with side trips to Akron & Cleveland. The show brought in a number of the artists on the album; many others were customers of Y&T. Howie Horowitz from the Music Machine in Baltimore supplied Jad & David Fair with their first effort as Half Japanese. Many of the bands were one shots, some went on to other bands, some went to jail and did not pass Go. The album is a reflection of a scene at a moment in time and stands as a musical legacy a quarter century later. I typed the original song and musician credits with two fingers, dymo-labeled the thanks (George Hoen please forgive me), and was thrilled to have Kim Kane from the Slickee Boys do the front artwork as well as the label design. It was the first album on my label, Limp, but not the last. :30 Over DC came out in 1978 on vinyl and here it is again all these years later on CD — a valid work today ... honest!! --Skip Groff

CD #1 is from a show I did on my birthday at The House of Blues in Chicago. I always try to do something interesting and fun on my birthday. (In 1997 I was in Bangkok--no show, but I caught a good sunset.) I picked Chicago because it's always a great time there. CD #2 is culled from shows I did in Australia in October 1997. The audiences are tremendous there. I tried to balance the two discs. The first is a faster-paced run; the second is a more settled-in storytelling pace. The name came from a cover idea. I had this image of students in a classroom with thought balloons over their heads with
a tank in it--a think tank. I figured it would be a good cover because the visual is so over the top and exaggerated, much like the record. The name "Think Tank" just stuck. So, no, I didn't call the album "Think Tank" because I regard my brain as some great intellectual engine, or because I perceive these shows as a higher-learning experience. They're a good time, and that's all. --Henry Rollins

The United Colors Of West LA 8. Rite Aid 9. Israel 10. Maturity 11. Men In Make Up 12. Future Parents 13. Encore From liner notes: I remember cold water being splashed on my face and the harsh light of a bare bulb burning my eyes. I tried to cover my eyes but couldn’t move my hands; I looked down and saw that they had been duct-taped to the arms of a chair. I immediately relaxed; it was just another “meeting with management.” My manager, Richard “he’ll do it” Bishop, spoke from behind the glare, “My Gulfstream needs new carpeting. I have booked a series of talking shows for you at Luna Park here in town. You will appear one night a week for the next nine weeks. This will be good for you, a local artist playing locally, that kind of thing. These stiffs will think you really care. What a joke.” “But Mr. Bishop,” I replied, “I’m tired from the nonstop touring and all the work I’ve been doing on your property lately. With the 16 hour days pruning your orange groves and picking grapes in your vineyards, I am totally exhausted. Please, I’m low on material, let me rest.” I heard a short laugh and saw my manager jerk his head to one side. A large shape moved to my left, I caught the back of a hand hard across my face. “You’ll do what I say, when I say or I’ll move that cardboard box you’re living in further downtown. Get this trash out of my office!” I was, chair and all, removed from the office and hurled out onto the street, signaling the end of the meeting. The resulting CD is taken from a few of the aforementioned nights at the wonderful Luna Park. Thanks for listening. -- Henry

A few months ago, I was in London, England and was asked to read on a BBC Radio show. I read this thing I wrote called "No Shore II" and talked about how the piece was a homage to the great American writer Thomas Wolfe who often spoke of there being "no door." Afterwards, I got to thinking about reading a few things in the studio for release to change things up from the usual live spoken recordings I put out. So, here’s some stuff I wrote, read aloud to brave and patient engineer
Brian on the afternoons of September 16 & 23, 2003. I hope you enjoy it. One dollar from each CD sold will be given to the Hollygrove Children’s Services here in the doomed city of Los Angeles so these kids can grow big and strong and get the hell out of this town! Thank you. --Henry Rollins

When we recorded songs for what became our album Weight, we were set up in the meeting room of a ski-lodge and played at all hours. We ended up with quite a bit of music. Fall Guy, I See Through and Right Here Too Much were songs that ended up as movie soundtrack cuts and b-sides. We asked New York sax heavyweight Charles Gayle to fly out and join us for some jams. He did and we rolled tape for a couple of nights. What a great time, what a great guy. The results have not been released until now. I included some live tracks from the Weight tour to finish. Hope you dig it. We thank you. -- Henry Rollins

Life Time is the first studio record by the Rollins Band. We did our first practice on 04-07-87 and went out on a long tour of America and Europe. On the road we wrote songs and put them into the set. By late October we finished the shows in London, UK. We went up to Leeds where Chris had a place to live and booked studio time at the same place that he and I did the Hot Animal Machine recordings a year before. I had no producer for this record and feared that since everyone in the band had strong opinions on how it all should be done that if we tried to do it ourselves we would do more harm than good. I called Ian MacKaye and asked for help. He got on a plane and came right out. That's Ian. We got straight to work as we had little time or money. All twelve songs were cut and mixed in a few days. We would do a take and Ian would tell us that it was good and we were moving on. When someone would say that they wanted to do it over again, he listened patiently and then asked again which song we wanted to do next. We got it all done and dragged it back to America for about 3,200 dollars. My, how things have changed. The album cover was drawn on the back of a diner place mat by Stephen Myers as a gift for my then roommate Laura. Only the offset reproduction of the piece remains as the original went with her when she gave up her room. She shot herself a few years ago. Special thanks to Ian for coming to the rescue on such short notice. Thanks to you for checking this out. -- Henry

When someone would say that they wanted to do it over again, he listened patiently and then asked again which song we wanted to do next. We got it all done and dragged it back to America for about 3,200 dollars. My, how things have changed. The album cover was drawn on the back of a diner place mat by Stephen Myers as a gift for my then roommate Laura. Only the offset reproduction of the piece remains as the original went with her when she gave up her room. She shot herself a few years ago. Special thanks to Ian for coming to the rescue on such short notice. Thanks to you for checking this out. -- Henry

The tracks that make up A Nicer Shade Of Red are songs from the thirty-song session that Nice was taken from. These are fully mixed and mastered tracks. Some of them we are playing live night to night. The extended version of Your Number is One is a completely different take with a longer middle section that allowed Jason, together with percussion jamblaster supreme Kerim Imes, to go long with some cool instruments and really let you see what good playing is all about. Clifs mix is insane. Its a damn cool track and I am very happy to get a chance for you all to hear it as I think youll dig it big time. -- Henry

Here we go again! This CD set documents the 2004 tour. The show happened at San Jose State Univ. in Northern California. A great crowd and I am glad it was the night we recorded. In the tradition of the last three volumes of Talk is Cheap, the CDs are long and low on edits and cost and of course, one dollar from each CD will be donated to Hollygrove in Los Angeles, CA (a home for abused and neglected children, www.hollygrove.org). The tour ended up being 91 shows and ended at the University of California at Bakersfield October 21st of 2004. Thanks for showing up, it was a great time I had out there with you. I hope you enjoy the show. The children of Hollygrove thank you too. - Henry Rollins

Another talking record from Sydney, Australia? What, is Sydney the only place in the world to record? Well, no but the Enmore is a swell theater and it’s always a two to three night stand and Randy makes high quality recordings there and so it works out. On the 2003 tour, I happened to be at the Enmore two years later to the day that we did Talk is Cheap Vol. 1 so it was too conceptually cool to not record. You can gather that Talk is Cheap Vols. 1 & 2 were recorded April 23 & 24 of 2001 and in the tradition of the earlier installments of the recurring bloviating nightmare, not a great deal of editing was done. Holding with tradition, one dollar from each copy of this set sold will go Hollygrove Children’s Services in Los Angeles CA. Thanks to your patronage of this series and other CD releases on the 2.13.61 label, we have been able to send Hollygrove in excess of $10,000 dollars at the time of this writing. We have kept the price at ten bucks even in these times of inflation. Why? Because talk is cheap and we’re all judged by what we do, not what we say. Again and again, I thank you. –Henry Rollins

Welcome back to the mouth that never shuts. The second night at the Enmore Theater. More stories, bile and ranting diatribes from your graying, limping philosophic misanthropic curmudgeon. In case you didn't read the liner notes from volume one of this set, your patronage of this two-CD set just liberated a dollar to Hollygrove in Los Angeles, CA (a home for abused and neglected children, www.hollygrove.org . Nice one! I like this two CDs for ten bucks deal. You never know, there may be more of this kind of thing coming. Stay tuned and thanks for checking me out. --Henry Rollins

The 2001 talking tour was long and took in many countries. We taped shows here and there to document the tour. I did a few nights at the Enmore Theater in Sydney Australia and we rolled tape on the first two nights. I decided to put them out as they were with very little editing sohere it is, with all my inherent motormouthed flaws ntact. A dollar from each set will go to Hollygrove in Los Angeles, CA (a home for abused and neglected children, www.hollygrove.org). I reckon ten bucks is a pretty good price. The price can also be an indicator as to how much CDs really cost to make and could possibly raise questions as to why they can be so expensive in stores these days. And, like the title suggests, talk is not exactly worthless, but should not be overpriced. As always, I am in your debt. Thanks. --Henry Rollins
