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 26 of the series covers arguably the most entertainingly batty time period of the ex-Airplaners story—from the late 1970s to the mid 1980s—in the style of an audiobook.
Here are just a few of the many things discussed in this episode of Discograffiti:
How Mickey Thomas wound up replacing two legendary singers in Jefferson Starship;
Marty Balin stages a wildly obscure rock opera about being prosecuted for not having hits;
With Hot Tuna on hiatus, Jack & Jorma gleefully confuse their fans with punk band SVT & new wave outfit White Gland;
An overview of Grace Slick’s entire solo career, including the one release she created without any performative armor;
An overview of Paul Kantner’s incredible, crazy, sole solo album, Planet Earth Rock And Roll Orchestra: The Empire Blows Back;
The rot begins to in;
And an overview of three of the four albums that Jefferson Starship Mk. II released: Freedom At Point Zero, Modern Times, and Winds Of Change.

281A. The Discograffiti Soldiers of Sound Podcast: RUDY FISCHMANN
2026/10/11
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.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. 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.

The stylistic hard left taken by the band after Gary Duncan split;

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;

Good times and horror stories involving the copious cocaine imbibed that summer;
The band members’ wild personal trips during that tour, including Stills’ ornate fantasy life as a clandestine operative in the jungles of Vietnam;

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. 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. Prepare yourselves: Lenny Kaye’s the wind up, and David Freiberg is very much the pitch.
This is Part 5 of the series—and part 2 of my discussion with David—in which we cover the time period during which Quicksilver Messenger Service recorded their classic self-titled debut album.
Here are just a few of the many things that David discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
The group’s collective reluctance toward signing with a label, after all their friends’ bands had hit the big time;
The massive volume of local gigs they played in the Bay Area;
The band’s first release as a 4-piece outfit, on the original soundtrack album for the film Revolution;
The unintended positive consequence for the band when Jim Murray split after Monterey;
The life-changing LSD experience that begat David’s “The Fool”;
And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Quicksilver Messenger Service.

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 23 of the series features Jack and I (in his penultimate contribution to this series) doing a deep dive on the songs off the band’s final studio album for almost twenty years, Long John Silver.
Here are just a few of the many things that Jack discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
Why Jack never wrote a solo composition for the Airplane beyond the title track of this album;
Jack’s defense of this late-in-the-game attempt by the band to pull it together one last time;
A paean to Papa John Creach’s contribution to the band;
Jack’s thoughts on the twin poke-to-the-eyes of the Catholic Church on the record;
And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Long John Silver.

This is Part 4 of the series—and part 1 of my discussion with David—in which we cover the completely insane early days of Quicksilver Messenger Service, packed with stories that seem more like mythical tall tales than true events.
Here are just a few of the many things that David discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
His early jobs actually working for the railroad;
A rundown of his three distinct pot bust arrests;
How he met Dino Valenti, which led directly to his involvement with Quicksilver;
Trying to get the band off the ground while both Dino and David were behind bars;
The period when the band lived together on a soon-to-be-condemned series of quasi-houseboats;
The period when the band lived in what they described as a “Victorian insane asylum”;
The cowboy period when the band lived out on a horse-filled ranch while The Grateful Dead lived nearby and got into an Indian trip;
And the derivation of their crazy name.

This is Part 3 of the series, a deep-dive into the early days of Dino Valenti, a fascinating chronology of the events that led to his initial vision for Quicksilver Messenger Service. In addition, we examine his one and only 1968 solo album.
Here are just a few of the many things discussed in this episode of Discograffiti:
Dino’s carny background, and his confusing slew of noms de plumes;
His early relationship with a certain legendary Andy Warhol superstar, about whom his song “Let’s Get Together” may have been written;
An overview of Dino Valenti’s Lost Recordings compilation;
How Dino funded the legal representation for his marijuana bust;
The second legendary song with which Dino became entangled, and how he got his hands on it;
The incredible story behind how Dino’s record label intentionally sought revenge against him;
Carol Kaye’s least favorite studio date of all time…with Dino Valenti;
And some behind-the-scenes tales that shed badly needed light on Dino’s one-of-a-kind solo record.

And we find out why Lenny opts to simply skip the Dino era entirely.
