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 5 of the series features Jack and I doing a deep, deep dive on the making of the band’s debut album. Expect deliriously interesting digressions.

Here are just a few of the many things that Jack discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

Recollections about the contracts he may or may not have signed;

The way that the album was recorded;

A discussion about the blurb on the back cover, which empties out into a fascinating discussion about the ideals of the 1960s;

The differences between Signe Toly and Grace Slick;

What Jack felt like they got right in the Sixties;

And a conversation that veers so beautifully, so organically, into one of my all-time favorite digressions in Discograffiti history, exploring the legacy of the hippie era.

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. 

Part 16 covers a little-known but unbelievably fascinating era during which Arthur was afforded his final substantial opportunity, and what happened with that opportunity in Arthur’s dubiously capable hands.

Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

Arthur Lee bringing the funk in a big way;

The great lost Love song, and in many ways the true epilogue to Forever Changes;

Arthur’s final big chance;

What you get if you’re Eric Clapton and you’ve asked Arthur to open for you;

That time Robert Plant and Jimmy Page swung by to meet Arthur;

That time Arthur lived out of his car…but with a driver;

And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Black Beauty and Reel To Real.

It includes long-form interviews, commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release. 

Part 4 of the series covers the period from August 1965 to August 1966—that is, from their very first gig to the release of their debut album—in the style of an audiobook documentary.

Here are just a few of the many things discussed in this episode of Discograffiti:

Grace Slick, Skip Spence, and Spencer Dryden enter the picture;

Members begin to play musical chairs as they edge closer and closer to the classic line-up;

Their early audition for Phil Spector;

All the record labels the Airplane turned down, and the one they did not;

Jack Casady flies out to San Francisco to try out for the band;

The stylistic affectation that initially did not endear Jack to Paul Kantner;

The wheeling and dealing of their first manager, notorious shyster Matthew Katz;

And the trials and tribulations behind the making of their debut album, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off.

Part 15 covers a hard-partying era during the early 1970s when Arthur’s life started to spin wildly out of control.

Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

The two months during which Arthur had a major label deal, and what he did with that opportunity;

Whether or not the music created during that time was even intended for human ears (or any other species, for that matter);

Arthur’s transition into shooting cocaine;

That time he called the cops…on himself;

A new slew of material that trumpeted his new vegetarian lifestyle;

Arthur’s continuing insistence on sing-song vengeance tunes written for backstabbing friends;

And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Dear You (a.k.a. Love Lost) and Arthur’s solo debut Vindicator.

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, the almighty Jefferson Airplane. It includes long-form interviews, commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release.

Here are just a few of the many things discussed in this episode of Discograffiti:

Marty Balin’s early music dalliances;

Piecing together his dream band, one member at a time;

The unbelievable first original that they performed;

Marty’s genius plan to foist his band on San Francisco with a true splash;

Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady: the origin story of a 70-year musical love affair;

The incredibly rare first recording by Jack & Jorma;

How Jorma was seduced into the Airplane;

The true origin of the band’s name;

The bargaining chip used by their first manager Matthew Katz to convince the group that he was their man; 

And their public debut as a band.
