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.

This episode is a live recording of Dillinger Four playing some songs and was recorded on March 7th, 2020 at The Soda Bar in San Diego, California. This was one of the last shows in all of Punkdom before Covid 19 shut it all down, but what a way to go out! A total of 14 songs that are all about being a lonely kid growing up in the shadow of an overbearing father. Actually, I have no idea if that's what the songs are about, this is D4, not The Postal Service. Paddy talking shit between songs included for free. My personal favorite quote of his from this show? “Donald Trump told me not to take my pants off. But I DID take my fucking pants off!”. Here’s a track listing:

1. Noble Stabbings

2. Super Powers Enable Me To Blend In With Machinery

3. A Jingle For The Product

4. Folk Song

5. Mosh For Jesus

6. A Floater Left With Pleasure In The Executive Washroom

7. Suckers Intl. Has Gone Public

8. Let Them Eat Thomas Paine

9. Maximum Piss And Vinegar

10. DoubleWhiskeyCokeNoIce

11. Gainsville

12. = Putting The “F” Back In “Art”

13. The Great American Going Out Of Business Sale

14. Sally MacLannane
