The Dodges. San Diego’s finest? Yes, I’m of a mind they are. They bring the rock, in the guise of four incredibly nice and awesome dudes. We had a good time talking about a few things. Rock ‘n Roll trivia? Yes. They whooped me, by the way. Ghostly stuff? Wouldn’t be and iwannapartywithbob shindig without it. Covered. Listen to the songs, that’s the important part. The Dodges songs. Whoah. So damn good. Enjoy.

The Dudes!!!

Some live Dodges here. Note the punk vest watching. Shit’s tight.

One more PRB photo. Mike Dirnt? No, no, no. Mike Dirnt < Mike Dodges. Fact.

Take an audio journey with me to the rough and tumble Oatman, Arizona. What do you have to lose, except nothing at all? That’s right, I’m calling you out. Listen to my ding-danged podcast! Ok, enough. So Oatman is pretty rad. A very cool story about how the town got it’s name, a lovely ghost story involving Clark Gable and Carole Lombard and a story about a drunken Irishman who is still apparently trying to find the shitter in the afterlife. Also, most importantly, a song by the incredible Playboy Manbaby!!!! Arizona’s finest band, and I mean that. They’re unique and special and are singlehandedly keeping rock ‘n roll alive. Check it out, then check out these links -

My favorite monster, The King, Godzilla. What’s not to love about a film with a dude in a green lizard suit smashing things? Fighting other monsters? Oh yes. That’s where Godzilla shines. Monster X, also known as King Ghidorah, that’s a fight that defines Godzilla for me. Because F a lot of King Ghidorah. That thing is a jerk. Some talk of the newer movies. Meh. I’m a classic Godzilla person. Also, the best band I’ve heard since yesterday - Turncoat. They are so incredibly great. Check them out here - https://mostoffrecords.bandcamp.com/album/i-r-i-s

Also, check out Broccoli - https://drunkensailorrecords.bandcamp.com/album/home-lp Graeme is a great dude and an incredible drummer.

History of Godzilla, my favorite Godzilla movie, talking about the new Godzilla movies? Covered. J Punk? More than covered. Turncoat should be your favorite new band. They are that good.

Godzilla knows the score, Godzilla is my homeboy.

Todd, the Templar of The Totally Rad. What a talk we had. So much great stuff in my world goes back to Todd. Give this one a listen. We have some important things to say, including the best place in Green Bay, WI to get slapped upside the head with a full pitcher of beer. When I put Todd on the spot and asked for some bands that are in current heavy rotation for him, he gave me some good stuff - Vacation, Xetas and Black Dots, oh my! Really rad stuff, check them out here -

What do you think about when you hear the words “Grand Canyon”? I think about how spectacular the place is. I also think about how many people have died falling off the edge and what happens to them after passing. Ghosts. They become ghosts. Listen for more. Sad stories. Ghost stories. UFO stories. Mysterious disapearances? Yes, that’s here, too. Check out these links -

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.

Some of my favorite years and best memories of being a part of Tiltwheel came from these times. Also, some of my favorite Tiltwheel songs were written, recorded and released during this time. Fun times, indeed. Aaron, if you’re reading, come at me bro. Also, there be a promo here for a great podcast called “Genuine Chit Chat”. Check it out here https://genuinechitchat.podbean.com/ Thank you.

We took a vacation to Arkansas and I’m pretty sure we saw a ghost. We also had a rad time on a huge lake. I also saw some huge bugs. And deer and turtles and more bugs, oh my! Listen for some facts about limestone caves and the Ozarks. And ghosts. Always with the ghosts. Anyway! Check out these fine places to stay and visit in Bull Shoals, AK.

Let’s talk to Squarecrow, about everything from the horrors of ska-punk to the beauty of faith. We are a little bit all over the place, but we get the job done. We get to the core of what makes Squarecrow tick. Take a seat, relax, have some tea and hear the soothing sounds and words of the best band from San Diego, California. We partied, just a little bit. Actually a LOT of bit. I hope you enjoy.

We’re going back to the far off days of yesteryear, 1992-1994 to be exact. A somewhat dry history lesson, a somewhat partying Bob talking about the first steps into greater mediocrity. Actually, more like first steps into serious fun and good stuff.
