Discograffiti

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Host Dave Gebroe talks with podcast OG Joe Kennedy about the classic psych band’s entire recorded output, with commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release, including long-form interviews with both Johnny Echols and the members of Baby Lemonade, who’ve served as Love now for coming up on 35 years. 7 & 7 & 7 Is: The Definitive 21-Episode Story Of Arthur Lee & Love was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth, the almighty Love. Prepare for some hardcore revelations. Part 20 is the second part of my raw, honest interview with Mike Randle, Rusty Squeezebox, and David Green, three-fourths of the band Baby Lemonade, who’ve effectively acted as Love now for over 30 years. Here are just a few of the many things that Baby Lemonade discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: How they all pitched in alongside Arthur to reach for the stars upon his release from prison; The story most illustrative of Arthur’s personality ever, involving a dildo in a swimming pool; The Forever Changes victory lap: Arthur on his best behavior, and Arthur on his worst behavior; The turning point, when things started going straight downhill; The attempts made to squeeze out just one more Forever Changes-level Arthur Lee masterpiece; How Johnny Echols wound up stepping into Arthur’s rather large shoes; Plus if and how this thing could possibly continue even after Johnny.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Feed Your Head: The Great Jefferson Airplane Deep Dive is an audio documentary that was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth. It includes long-form interviews, commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release. Part 7 of the series covers the period from January 1966 to October 31, 1966—that is, from the release of their debut album to Grace joining the group and recording album number two—in the style of an audiobook. Here are just a few of the many things discussed in this episode of Discograffiti: The Airplane’s first major press coverage; How The Haight handled being overrun by floods of lost children who were looking to live this new lifestyle they’d seen on TV; Signe’s farewell; A brief history of both Grace Slick and The Great! Society; The creation of the original “Somebody To Love” & “White Rabbit”; Grace joins Jefferson Airplane; And an exclusive interview with Ruthann Friedman—writer of The Association’s #1 Summer of Love smash “Windy”—who recounts nearly becoming Jefferson Airplane’s vocalist before Grace wound up getting the gig.
