Welcome to the first edition of a new series of Bobcast episodes, simply titled “Haunted Harmonies”. With these episodes, you’ll hear a little bit about the history and haunts of a particular paranormally active location, which is located somewhere in this great big haunted world of ours. Along with the history and haunts, let’s throw a band interview - a short one - into these episodes, because the Bobcast is PUNK. The rule is, the band has to be from the same town or area as the featured haunted location. In this case, we’re talking about San Diego, California’s Villa Montezuma, with the band of the episode being Come Closer. San Diego has a TON of haunted places, but I’m telling you, Villa Montezuma is the King/Queen of the Haunt Heap. Come Closer is likewise the cream of the crop in a sea of amazing bands from San Diego. The tales of strangeness from Villa Montezuma, the interview with J from Come Closer, a song titled “Get It Wrong” by Come Closer, this episode has it ALL.

Welcome to the Sad Girlz Club Bobcast episode! This one has been in the works for a long, long time, as we were initially supposed to talk back in April of 2020 during La Escalera Fest - which was cancelled due to covid. Well, here we are and let me say, this one was worth the wait. Shelby, Eric and I talked recently, on the evening of Biden’s victory over the current shitbag in the White House. Don’t worry, I didn’t start celebrating until AFTER the interview started. This is a family Bobcast, after all. What you’ll get in this most un-sad episode is an interview with Shelby and Eric, plus four Sad Girlz Club songs! We talk politcs, Sacramento, who would be Scooby Doo and who would be Shaggy and more! The Sad Girlz Club songs in order of appearance are - Back Around, Pedestal, Lonely Nights and Ex-Men. Here are some links to some truly tubular things!

I love a good ghost story. So, I’ve gathered eight of them here, told by the people that experienced these paranormal phantasms. This one features a star-studded cast of creeps, including - Billy Liar (solo artist), Ryan Disney (no, not THAT Disney), Jesse Wagner (The Aggrolites & UXB), Amanda Paulson (Pretty FN Spooky blog and YouTube channel), Fernando Cruz (Run For Your Fucking Life, Bumbklaatt), Mitch Wilson (No Knife, Funeral March), Greg Hetson (Bad Religion, Circle Jerks) and Ron Martinez (Final Conflict, Lower Class Brats). Each story is incredible - from a “Hat Man” story (look it up - scary!!!), to a kid who spent part of his youth living in a graveyard, to phantom footsteps and bellmen from beyond the grave, I’m telling you, this episode has the best ghost stories I’ve ever heard. There is music, as always, of course. Billy Liar with the song “The Ghosts Of Punk Rock”, UXB with “Night Marchers, No Knife with “Hit Man Dreams” and Dear Boy with a cover of the Psychedelic Furs song “The Ghost In You”. Did you catch all the songs sorta-kinda reference ghosts? Good job, you’re paying attention! One last thing before you go to the light - if you let me know via social media (search on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter “I Wanna Party With Bob”) which story is your favorite, you can win a t-shirt from Discount Cemetery and a gorgeously gruesome zippo lighter and case from Wicked Monster Workshop! Vote and win! Turn on the lights, burn some sage and fire up your podcast player - this one will scare the ecctoplasm out of anyone - living OR undead.

Jalacy J. Hawkins, better known as Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, was one of a kind. His voice? Have you ever heard a volcano sing in the middle of a tsunami, while frogs were raining down from the sky? That’s close to the strange, powerful and goddamn charming beauty of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and that magic voice of his. He’d pop out of a coffin, sing a song about not being able to poop, strutting about the stage with a skull on a stick smoking a cigarette. If you think that last sentence was strange, wait until you hear the story of how “I Put A Spell On You” was recorded! That story is included in this episode, by the way. A brief history of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins from birth to death, the stories behind a couple of his more well known songs and more! The music of the bands in this episode brings something special - a shock-rock connection via Alice Cooper covers, that’s Sloppy Seconds and BL’AST. Then we have Rocket From The Crypt, because ROCK N ROLL, that’s why. The originator of “Shock-Rock” would be proud. Check out some links below!

I love trivia, that’s no secret. Whenever I get an opportunity to write some questions and host some rad people in a trivia gameshow type of challenge, I’m all for it. My pals at Paper Street Cuts record recently released a super-duper awesome record called “Endless Sommar” that is a four way split between these bands - Lightweight, Slow Draw, Allweather and Sad Girlz Club. Wooooah, quite the line-up, I know and filled with my favorite bands around today. This episode is filled with fun, I’m gonna play ALL the songs off of Endless Sommar, I host my pals Uriel, Miski and Joe through three rounds of trivia questions relating to 80’s Hair Metal and 90’s Pop-Punk and the winner gets a copy of the record!

Tiltwheel has been a band since 1992, in some form or another. That’s a long time and now we’re old as shit. 1999 was the year that Davey, Ross, Squire and Bob went into a studio to get drunk and record Hair Brained Scheme Addicts. The audio for this episode was taken from a recent Zoom call (all set up by Davey, he’s smart) wherein we sat around, some of us drank and talked all things Hair Brained. Inbetween the talking parts you’re gonna hear the record in it’s entirety. Here’s a track listing!

1. Texas 10 2. All I Care About Is Me, My Rum And You 3. Song That Used To Be Called Aaron’s Song 4. 2:07 AM 5. Rinse 6. Al Quint Is An Emo Pussy 7. Battle Hymn For The Recluse Youth Part 2 8. Battle Hymns For The Recluse Youth Part 1 9. Whisper To A Scream 10. Lullaby 11. Wonder Beer (BONUS TRACK!!!)

The year is 2004 and the band is Tiltwheel. Highlights include - Punk Rock Bowling #6 (LASERS AND WATER!!!), a tour of the Pacific Northwest, where a struggle against rednecks and toilets ensue, the Rythym Chicken drops in for a bit and a contest of wills takes place. Or just drinking, it was just a drinking contest against the Chicken. Who do YOU think won? The 4th of July from hell, Fest #3 and lastly, the time Tiltwheel pretended to be Slayer. Shotgun a beer, call your therapist and check it out. Call your therapist after, maybe? Here are some links to some rad stuff mentioned in this episode -

When I asked Jonny, of the San Diego punk rock band Se Vende, whether or not he believed in ghosts his reply scared me silly. Jonny had quite the ghostly experience in an old, abandoned warehouse he lived in many years ago. The warehouse is still there, still abandoned, but not completely uninhabited, if you catch my drift. Something spooky is going on in the “Meat Locker”, the most menacing sounding warehouse I’ve ever heard of. In this episode, I’m joined by Jonny, Collin and Bre of Se Vende, plus Bre’s sister, Chloe, on a weird walkthrough of the extremely creepy warehouse of doom. We made it out without any problems, but we were prepared - which begs the question - are YOU prepared and brave enough to listen? I double dog dare you. This episode also features two songs by Se Vende, a section on how to ghost hunt, the history of the Meat Locker and then audio of the ghost hunt itself. Press play, if you dare.

Oh, this isn’t creepy, right?

Left overs from the glory days of squatdom.

Western Settings blows me away. With their string of releases over the last 5 years, extensive touring and just general badass DIY ethics, they are more a mechanical nightmare beast rather than a band. I mean that in absolutely the best way possible. They are incredible dudes and an incredible band. Give then a shot, you will absolutely not regret it.
