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 31 of the series is a CRUCIAL EPISODE in understanding the inner workings of a once-countercultural band that at this point, twenty years into their career, would do practically anything for a hit. This 90-minute interview with the producer of Starship’s Knee Deep In The Hoopla is probably the most important piece of the puzzle in understanding how this band realized their hidden goals, and then achieved them, and whether or not it was worth achieving them in the end.   Here are just a few of the many things that Peter discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: His impressively varied jazz background; The slew of Frank Zappa albums on which he appears—62 total!; Whether or not he’s actually an Airplane fan; Grace’s wildly contradictory statements about “We Built This City”; How he finished off their transformation from Jefferson Airplane to Starship; His feelings toward Knee Deep In The Hoopla versus the follow-up record, No Protection; And an epiphanic outpouring of every single little thing I’ve learned over the 32 episodes of this series, as the seemingly un-align-able bands Jefferson Airplane and Starship are brought into incredibly clear focus…as the very same people, just twenty years down the road.

Here are just a few of the many things that Ariel discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The story of my relationship with Ariel; The insane live show I produced for Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery; Whether or not he got cancelled on purpose; The obstacles he’s now facing post-cancellation as an artist;  Why he thought being called a genius was an insult; And how his greatest album, Pom Pom, came to be.

Rudy Fischmann passed away this morning at 7:20 am.  Four years ago, he started listening to Discograffiti, and signed up for Patreon. I reached out to him, and we became fast friends. He’s 54—just three months older than me—and he told me during our first conversation that he had brain cancer. He began making this show—in case you’re unfamiliar with it, I’m pretty sure The Discograffiti Soldiers of Sound Podcast is the world’s only podcast within a podcast. And yet here we are, 150 episodes later, and Rudy has created a show that’s lasted far longer than most regular podcasts. And it’s literalized the Discograffiti community, bringing folks together far and wide as friends, collaborators, and…hell, possibly even as lovers, as far as I know. Throughout this entire time, I had never met Rudy, due to our geographical distance. But when he went into hospice recently, I unhesitantly leaped into my car and drove the six hours from New Jersey to Virginia. I stayed in the bed beside him for several days. We watched tons of music docs, we laughed a whole lot, we ate well, and we took a hell of a lot of pleasure in each others’ company. We also made this episode.  Rest in peace, my sweet friend.   CONNECT Join our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153 Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/discograffiti Podfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Discograffiti Order the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.

The Crazy Tale of Quicksilver Messenger Service is an audio documentary series that was crafted to act as the ultimate assemblage of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth. This 8-episode series is built around a 2 1/2 hour interview with The Patti Smith Group’s Lenny Kaye, and the main event: an unprecedentedly detailed five-hour interview with David Freiberg, a very special experience that—regardless of how you feel about the group—will absolutely blow your mind with its unique twists and turns. There’s in-depth commentary on their history, a slew of endlessly wild stories, and star ratings for every release.   This is Part 8 of the series—and the final part of my discussion with David—in which we cover the time period during which Dino flies the plane into the side of a mountain, and the band recorded their final three records: Quicksilver, Comin’ Thru, & Solid Silver. Here are just a few of the many things that David discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: A peek into the making of Baron Von Tollbooth & The Chrome Nun with Grace Slick & Paul Kantner; Dino’s hard left in remaking Quicksilver into a brass-backed groove outfit before it flamed out; The wild turnstile of personnel changes that shuffled the band’s deck before the original gang reunited for Solid Silver; Whatever happened to the founding members of Quicksilver in their post-breakup years; An in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Quicksilver, Comin’ Thru, & Solid Silver; And an appended epilogue addressing the death of Greg Elmore, which happened seven days after our main interview and made David the last man standing.   CONNECT Join our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153 Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/discograffiti Podfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Discograffiti Order the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.

The Crazy Tale of Quicksilver Messenger Service is an audio documentary series that was crafted to act as the ultimate assemblage of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth. This 8-episode series is built around a 2 1/2 hour interview with The Patti Smith Group’s Lenny Kaye, and the main event: an unprecedentedly detailed five-hour interview with last man standing David Freiberg, a very special experience that—regardless of how you feel about the group—will absolutely blow your mind with its unique twists and turns. There’s in-depth commentary on their history, a slew of endlessly wild stories, and star ratings for every release.   This is Part 7 of the series—and part 4 of my discussion with David—in which we cover the time period during which Nicky Hopkins & Dino Valenti joined the band, and they recorded Shady Grove, Just For Love, & What About Me. Here are just a few of the many things that David discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The stylistic hard left taken by the band after Gary Duncan split; His relationship with the legendary Girl Freiberg; Dino joins the band; His experience relocating to Hawaii to record two albums at a Boy Scout camp that didn’t even have electricity; The big falling-out that happened out there; Cipollina’s departure and his post-Quicksilver musical activity; One of the craziest arrest stories I’ve ever heard; And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Shady Grove, Just For Love, & What About Me.   CONNECT Join our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153 Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/discograffiti Podfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Discograffiti Order the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.
