If 2020 had been anything even remotely normal, Stone Gossard would have spent most of the year on the road with Pearl Jam, touring in support of the Gigaton album.

Instead, he's like the rest of us, trying to figure out whatever this "new normal" is supposed to be.

Stone's side project Painted Shield released a single a few years ago and is ready to unveil a new album at the end of November.

Jim and JoHo talked with Stone about the new record, the impact Eddie Van Halen had on him, and more. Oh yeah...Stone's dog makes an appearance as well.
