A “Year In Review” for a year like 2020 was a rough thing to sort out. 2020 sucked. No denying that, right? Well, at least on the Bobcast, 2020 was a great year. Starting out with the conclusion of the Danzig Trilogy and ending with the Paul Tremblay interview, mix in a ton of incredible songs by incredible bands, I can’t complain about 2020 from the podcast point of view. Here’s what you’re getting in this fun-filled episode - Excerpts from the Danzig Series conclusion, the Joe Wood interview, the James Baldwin episode, the Katie Burr interview and the Paul Tremblay interview. A ghost story by Gared O’Donnell of Planes Mistaken For Stars from the very first Bobcast “Ghost Stories” episode. Songs by Lost Avenue, Sarchasm, Le Saboteur, The Bollweevils, Dillinger Four, Get Married and The Hybrids. Sense Field closes this “Best Of…” episode out with a cover of the song “Happy Christmas (War Is Over”. Happy New Year and here’s to a MUCH better year in 2021.

Joe Wood. The name brings to mind a smokey voice, soaked with whiskey and a lifetime of hard times and heartbreak. Joe’s songs are dark, no doubt, but guess what? So is life. Joe writes and sings about life, the dark corners of life, to be sure, but life nonetheless. After spending some time with Joe, I can’t help but think of how ALIVE the man is, especially when considering the normal topics of his songs - suicide, revenge, substance abuse, loss, love. The songs and music of Joe Wood can speak for themselves, so this episode has four songs from Joe’s time in TSOL. But his words, listen well, because Joe has some things to tell you, as only a man such as Joe Wood could. Check out these links, plus some info about some of Joe’s upcoming live shows!
