Episode 53 - Morrissey Part Two - The Mozpire Strikes Back

Morrissey fascinates me. His music, starting with The Smiths and ending with his latest solo record - “I Am Not A Dog On A Chain” and the person himself. What is it about Morrissey that so many people love and/or love to hate? He’s lovely, controversial, talented, opinionated. The music, though, holy cow. Morrissey’s music has been a huge part of my life ever since the mid-1980’s and the purchase of “Meat Is Murder”. I can’t say how much this man’s music has meant to me over the years. However, in a strange twist of fate, “Bigmouth Strikes Again” is more than just a Smiths song, it seems to be Morrissey’s MO of the last several years. This episode focuses on the Morrissey “solo” years from 1988 up to now. We’ll be taking a fairly deep look at the records and who made them from 1988 to 2004, then a peek at the same from 2006 to the present. The very end covers “Morrissey Vs. the press”, which has been an ongoing thing since 1983 or so. Fun! The songs are by A Wilhelm Scream, The Phenomenauts and J Church and all tie into the subject at hand quite nicely. Here are some links to some great stuff -

Episode 52 - Le Saboteur Interview

Le Saboteur is a band that is sotra-kinda-used to be from San Diego, California and now mostly resides in the Pacific Northwest. Geography aside, this band is amazing. They have the songs, they have the attitude, they have the best looking bass player in the history of history. It’s true, just ask him. This episode has an interview with Michelle, Kyle Bob and Uriel of Le Saboteur, four songs off the band’s new EP “Ditch” and a little cryptid-related trivia thrown in for the sake of fun. Maybe the person in Le Sab with the bigfoot tattoo will win? Listen and find out!

Episode 48 - Sarchasm Interview

Sarchasm, the band, not the attitude. Let’s be clear about that. But wait, are Sarchasm sarcastic? A double positive of a band? Yeah, I would say so. But! Sarchasm are lovely people, every one of them. Even Scout, the Dr. Doolittle of animal noises. Even Stevie, who has a hard time when around free water. Mari? Mari is a monster that can’t eat pizza like a human. Alex can’t listen to music. Which is weird when you’re in a band? Quirks aside, Sarchasm are the nicest, funniest and rocking-est bunch of people from the East Bay. The music, ohhhh the music. So good. Toe tapping, do-si-do-ing, dance til your shoes fall off good. This episode has an interview with Sarchasm, 4 songs by the band and a Simpsons Trivia Challenge!!!! Alex is damn good at Simpsons trivia, by the way. Join the fun, join Team Sarchasm.

Episode 47 - The History Of Tiltwheel Part 8

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.

Epispde 46 - Mike "Dumps" Bruno Interview

Mike Bruno wears so many hats. This is a figurative statement, not literal. Owner and operator of Long Island, New York’s Dead Broke Rekerds. Bassmaster of Iron Chic. Bass dude and one of the singer dudes in Adult Magic. Mike is busy, and for that I am very glad - the world would be a much more dreary place without Iron Chic, Adult Magic and Dead Broke. Don’t forget Mike’s part bands like Down In The Dumps, after all, that is how he got the name Mike Dumps. History is important! Well, in this episode, Mike and I talked for a bit about all things Mikey Dumps - bands and music stuff, horror movies, life on Long Island and more. Horror movies? Yes, there’s a trivia challenge in this episode and it’s all about horror movies. Songs by Down In The Dumps, Adult Magic and Iron Chic. Here are some links for you to enjoy -

Episode 45 - The Morrissey Trilogy Part One

What do you know about Morrissey? Singer of sad songs? Supporter of far-right causes? Handsome devil, or just a devil, period? Well, let’s start getting to the bottom of WHO this Morrissey person really is. This very first episode is part of a trilogy of episodes dealing with the wild, sad, wacky and confusing world of The Moz. Misery Mozzery, to his close friends. Does The Moz still have any freinds? We shall see. Three amazing Smiths cover songs grace this episode, as well - “Jeane” by The Slow Death, “Bigmouth…” by Squarecrow and “A Rush And A Push…” by Broadway Calls. Here are some links to stuff in this episode -

Episode 44 - Se Vende Interview

When did Se Vende steal my heart, as a band? Hmmm. Probably sometime around November of 2019, if I had to assign a date to something so ethereal. Se Vende is a punk rock band, but wait! There’s more. Se Vende also has the San Diego thing down in the best possible way. You’ll be cruising along listening, solid punk songs, then BLAMMO, a time change, a break down, that doesn’t seem like it will work, but goddamn, these fellas make it work so well. I love this band’s music, but as people? The Se Vende’s are the greatest people. I asked questions, they answered and this episode is the result. Bonus? FIVE songs are included in this episode, free of charge! What a deal! Here are your links!

Episode 43 - Interview with Joe Wood of Change Today/ex-TSOL

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!

Episode 42 - Skate And Destroy Part 3

This is it! The conclusion of the Skate & Destroy series. In this one, the focus is on some time I spent with the “Alva Posse”, plus the end of my friendship with Gator. Music? Oh, this episode has the best music the late 80’s and early 90’s had to offer - Vencie, CA’s Excel!!! THE Champions of Crossover and thrash metal, Excel. Rad. Two stories of the times that Tony Alva had to chastise me and what happened when Mr. Alva lost his $80.00 sunglasses. Also, the end of my friendship with Gator - hint - it happened shortly before he went to jail for rape and murder. Ugh. Besides that ugliness, this is a really fun episode! Skating. Destroying.

Episode 41 - Ghost Hunt And Interview With Ash Williams

The band Ash Williams of San Diego is calling it quits after ten years of being awesome. On this episode of the Bobcast, join me in sending them off in style. Pat and Uriel of Ash Williams sat and talked with me for a while about all kinds of stuff, but the horror movie trivia part of the interview is my favorite. Then, Pat, Uriel and I went on a ghost hunting excursion to San Diego’s Hotel Cosmopolitan, specifically room 11. We found a couple of interesting “things”, you’ll see. Ghost cat? Yes. This episode also features 4 (yes FOUR) Ash Williams songs. Ash Williams gets four songs because they are THAT good. Now, let’s go hang with the GOAT for a bit and get spooky, silly and rad.

Episode 40 - Ghost Hunting With Se Vende

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.

Episode 37 - Ghosts Of Mesa Verde

Let’s take a spiritual and mystical journey to the mysterious Mesa Verde. Mesa Verde was home to thousands of the Ancestral Puebloan people - who up and disappeared, more or less all at once. What!?!? This is true. You’ll get the scoop on what happened to these people in this episode. Plus, a ghostly encounter my family had during a recent visit to Mesa Verde. Spooky. Best of all, two songs by the band Planes Mistaken For Stars and an interview with Captain of the good ship PMFS, Gared O’Donnell. Come for the stories, stay for the music kind of thing, you betcha. A condensed history of Mesa Verde and the incredible cliff dwellings that made Mesa Verde famous is also in this one. Here are some links!

Episode 36 - Skate And Destroy Pt. 2

When I was a rebellious teenager in the late 1980’s, I did some stuff of questionable legality. No, let me rephrase that - I did a bunch of stupid stuff and got into a bunch of trouble. Trouble is funny, especially in hindsight? Indeed. Starting with working at my favorite skate shop and managing the shop’s sposored skater team, concluding with a few of the misadventures I had with my friend and pro skater Gator (yes, THAT Gator). This episode could be a road map of what NOT to do if you are looking to avoid run-ins with the law. Call this episode a cautionary tale. I called it fun. This episode also features a brief interview with Kevin Seconds (done via e-mail and read by me), plus a few 7 Seconds songs from the 80’s as an added bonus. Here are some links for Mr. Kevin Seconds and all the rad stuff he does -

Episode 35 - Grumpster, Sarchasm and Get Married

Grumpster, Sarchasm and Get Married, oh my! Three of the nicest and bestest bands playing music and doing rad stuff on the DIY punk circuit these days. If this episode was an awards ceremony, here are the awards each band would win - Grumpster - Best Pop Punk of the 21st century. Sarchasm - Nicest People On Earth. Get Married - Most Members For A Non-Ska Band. All the bands on this episode appear on the Asian Man Records release “Friendsplit” and the other thing they have in common? They all bring the ROCK in the best possible way. Short interview questions I did with the band (read by me) and two songs per band is what you’ll find in this episode. Listen. Photo above is the cover of the “Friendsplit” 7” plus three photos by Oddbotkin taken at 924 Gilman. Here are some links!

Episode 34 - Danger Inc. Interview

Danger Inc. is quite a fantastic band and quite a fantastic group of people. Don’t let the name fool you - the only thing dangerous about them is you could die of kindness and laughter while in their presence. Wait, though I should say, their music will assuredly kick you in the ass and leave you by the side of the road, wondering what the hell just hit you. Yes, they are THAT good. We talked about a ton of good stuff - Star Wars, burritos, Taco Bell, So Cal vs. Nor Cal, anal leakage (what?), how to properly get paid at a punk show and so much more. Check out deez linkz -
