Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. In this episode, old friends Ariel Pink (nee Rosenberg) and host Dave Gebroe hash out the timeline of their relationship and take a fearless gaze into the heart of cancel culture, in an attempt to figure out what the hell happened, and whether or not it even matters that it did.
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.

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 30 of the series features David Freiberg fielding some very difficult questions, as he gives his impressions of Jefferson Starship’s Eighties era, from 1979’s Freedom At Point Zero to his unceremonious exit during the sessions for Starship’s Knee Deep In The Hoopla.
Here are just a few of the many things that David discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
Who actually titled his song “Jane”;
Whether or not there was trepidation about Grace rejoining the band;
His feelings about Jefferson Starship’s music in the Eighties;
If the name change to Starship had a deeper significance to him;
What David did for the 20 years between leaving and rejoining Jefferson Starship;
The rumors behind his firing;
The fallout between David and Paul Kantner;
And an overview of the four albums released by the 1980s iteration of Jefferson Starship: Freedom At Point Zero, Modern Times, Winds Of Change, and Nuclear Furniture, plus Starship’s Knee Deep In The Hoopla.

It includes long-form interviews, commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release.
Part 29 of the series is an audiobook-style expose of how a band whose ideals were once so crucial to their very existence could end up disconnecting entirely from their roots and releasing an album like Knee Deep In The Hoopla.
Here are just a few of the many things discussed in this episode of Discograffiti:
Paul kidnaps the Nuclear Furniture master tapes;
The split in the band that causes a civil war;
Paul & David Freiberg’s exits from the band;
The formation of KBC;
Jorma becomes a heroin addict;
The complete story of “We Built This City”;
And an overview of Nuclear Furniture, but a seriously deep deep-dive on Knee Deep In The Hoopla.

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 that China discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
How she feels about the amount of attention she received from Mom and Dad as a kid;
Grace’s long road toward sobriety;
How her parents truly felt about their music in the 1980s;
Paul Kantner’s relationship with escape…whether via spaceship, or drugs & alcohol;
The private letter that Paul left for China to find after he passed away;
The horrifying experience that directly preceded Grace becoming sober for good;
The difficulty she’s had in singing onstage with Marty Balin & Mickey Thomas;
And the music she’s made that means the most to Grace.

Part 27 of the series is a very special episode. It’s a music nerd’s twist on the age-old free association word game, and I’m playing with China Kantner Isler…using the titles of every Jefferson Starship song ever. China stops me whenever I get to a song that has meaning for her, and explains the fascinating backstory behind each and every one.

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.

October 11 281A. The Discograffiti Soldiers of Sound Podcast: RUDY FISCHMANN
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.

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.
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.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. In this episode, Graham Nash dissects the extravagant lunacy that accompanied CSNY’s 1974 stadium tour, which Crosby referred to as “The Doom Tour”. Discograffiti’s Wild Tales: The Graham Nash Interview Series tackles every last release Graham ever had a hand in creating, including CSN/Y, C&N, and his solo career, detailing a history almost too wild to be believed.
Here are just a few of the many things that Graham discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
A laundry list of the various excesses in which the four men indulged on that tour;
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;
Graham’s personal hang time with Neil Young after the tour;
And an in-depth deep dive on the music made for the CSNY box set 1974
