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 9 of the series features Jack Casady, PLUS SURPRISE GUEST JORMA KAUKONEN, doing a deep, deep dive on the songs off the band’s classic, experimental third effort. Here are just a few of the many things that Jack and Jorma discuss with Discograffiti in this podcast: An off-the-cuff send-off for Country Joe McDonald, who’d just passed away before taping, and with whom Jack had played in the late 1960s; An impromptu phone call by Jorma Kaukonen halfway through the episode, at which time he joins us in a trip down memory lane; Whether or not Jorma & Jack have ever played live while high on LSD; The importance of East Coast attitude and amphetamines to the aggressive tone of the Airplane; And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on the songs off After Bathing At Baxter’s.
