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. Part 7 covers Love’s third record, the undisputed masterpiece Forever Changes, which only a fool would argue is not the towering peak of their career: here, then, is the record’s background story, and the making of it. It is often referred to as the greatest album of all time, especially in the U.K., where in 2002 members of Parliament signed a motion declaring Love’s 1967 release "the greatest album of all time". Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: How drugs factored into things during that time, and which drugs they were; What separated the orchestrations intended for this record from the strings on all other rock records up to this point; The misunderstood notions about who is playing what and the band members’ involvement in the process of creating the songs; Whether or not Forever Changes was intended at the outset to be a double album; Just how things got off on the wrong foot on the first day of sessions; The extent of The Wrecking Crew’s involvement in playing on the record; Why exactly they turned down Monterey; The man responsible for sequencing the album, as well as the one song he cut from the track list; And the background story which begat its classic title.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. April Fools! You may think the joke here is that we’ve made an episode on the California Raisins backstory, but in fact…the joke is that you think this episode is a joke. This touching expose of the raisin industry is actually a disguised Discograffiti episode about the career trajectory of the great Buddy Miles (Electric Flag, Buddy Miles Express, Band Of Gypsys). Host Dave Gebroe teams with OG Discograffiti host Joe Kennedy, and together they create a whoopee-cushioned joy buzzer of an April Fools’ gag that succeeds on every level imaginable. Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The issues within the raisin industry which provoked the creation of the California Raisins; The father of Claymation, who lent his talents to bringing these shriveled, anthropomorphized snacks to life; A full career overview of Buddy Miles; The crazed extent of the merchandising involved with this phenomenon; The mysterious, off-label fourth California Raisins record; And a not-very-in-depth, extremely shallow dive on The California Raisins discography!

Part 6 covers Love’s Da Capo: the machinations behind the scenes, the making of the record, and all the classic music on it. Here are just a few of the many things that Johnny discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: How Love shifted from being jazz fans to entering into jazz territory as a band; The background of the sly coda of “7 & 7 Is”; How The Rolling Stones “borrowed” from Love at least twice; The kind of imprint Paul Rothchild’s production made on their sophomore record; How Johnny counters the myths that proliferate around this band; And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive with Johnny on Da Capo, plus his own star rating for the record!

Part 5 covers Love’s sophomore LP Da Capo: the background story, the making of the record, and a song-by-song overview. An argument can be made that the growth displayed in the gap between record one and two is the most mind-boggling quantum leap in music history. Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The making of the “7 & 7 Is” single, who it was written about, and how it changed sonically from its original conception; How The Doors absolutely idolized Love, but why Arthur helping them get a deal with Elektra wound up biting his band in the ass; The initial conception of their second LP, before things veered off into a whole other terrain; The great lost Arthur Lee classic that he gave away to a rival group; The formation of the briefly-lived septet iteration of Love; The female wedge that drove herself between Arthur Lee and Bryan MacLean; An examination of the largest qualitative Side 1 / Side 2 disparity in music history; And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Da Capo.

SOS 250a: A Conversation with David Gedge of The Wedding Present and Cinerama Previewing His Upcoming Tour and Our Epic Deep Dive into his Many Songwriting Eras And yes, the episode title is needlessly long in tribute to the early days of David Gedge giving songs ridiculously long titles. Anyway, Paul Kelly of the great Indie band, The Martial Arts, and Rudy were just minding their own business recording their thoughts on David Gedge for a series of episodes about his great and varied songwriting when SOS friend Patrick Tape Fleming of the greatest Indie bands Poison Control Center and Gloom Balloon arranged for Paul and Rudy to talk to Gedge himself. Naturally, this was not an opportunity two fanboys could not resist. This discussion centers mostly on The Weddoe’s “Seamonsters”, since Gedge will be touring the US and Europe to celebrate that release’s *gulp* 35th anniversary. Think of this episode as a special preview of the proper “David Gedge Series” that starts next month, and motivation to get tickets to go see The Wedding Present perform “Seamonsters” in its beautiful entirety along with many more TWP classics. To see where The Wedding Present is playing and how to get tickets, visit: https://www.scopitones.co.uk/forthcomingconcerts Paul Kelly is the artist behind the excellent indie band The Martial Arts.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Host Dave Gebroe talks with Spirit biographer Ryan Gabrinetti about the classic psych band’s entire recorded output, with commentary, stories, and star ratings for every release. Part 9 covers Randy California’s creatively listless final years, which produced a handful of problematic records with terrific cherrypicking moments…before he tragically lost his life. Here are just a few of the many things that Ryan discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The most surprisingly ambitious project on which Randy worked during his last decade; Details surrounding the long slide down in Randy’s relationship with Spirit; The legitimately tragic and valiant death of Randy California; Noteworthy posthumous releases; Spirit’s arc, as determined by Dave; Our top 3 Spirit albums, and our least favorite; And an in-depth deep dive on some of the songs off Rapture In The Chambers, Sea Dream, Tent Of Miracles, and California Blues.
