Bob introduced his "junkyard" drumming style on two Sonic Youth albums near the beginning of their career ('83-'85), then moved to Jon Spencer's Pussy Galore for four albums ('86-'90), led his own band Bewitched from two albums and two EPs in the early '90s, and has played with Chrome Cranks, Lydia Lunch, and many other projects.
We discuss "Cancel This!" an instrumental from his first official solo album, Beach Bongo Bloodbath (2026), "Chocolate Frenzy" by Bewitched (1986), and "Death Valley '69" by Sonic Youth from Bad Moon Rising (1985). End song: "Silky Narcotic" by The Wolfmanhattan Project from Summer Forever and Ever (2022) (plus a Richard Hell cover from the new album at the very end). Intro: "Making Out with Satan" by Bewitched (1993).
