GRAHAM NASH ON DAVID CROSBY’S SOLO DEBUT IF I COULD ONLY REMEMBER MY NAME (Ep. 233)

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. In this episode, Graham Nash discusses David Crosby’s classic solo debut If I Could Only Remember My Name with commentary and stories. Discograffiti’s Wild Tales: The Graham Nash Interview Series tackles every last release the great Graham Nash 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:

* An overview of the initial spate of CSNY solo projects, and how they all performed relative to one another;
* The origin story of the Planet Earth Rock & Roll Orchestra, and the albums on which this massive aggregate of legendary musicians have appeared (in the Director’s Cut only);
* The only track on which Neil Young and Jerry Garcia are both playing guitar;
* How Jerry Garcia wound up being the hero of Remember My Name, and what exactly David & The Dorks was;
* Jerry Garcia’s favorite of his own pedal steel guitar performances;
* And an in-depth deep dive on every song that comprises David Crosby’s If I Could Only Remember My Name, including David’s own lyrical analyses!

Neil Young is 80 years old today, and to think…back when he turned 19 he wrote Sugar Mountain, a song about feeling like he was getting too old. Goddamn, man. Thank God all these co***ne-loving geniuses are making it into their 80s. It truly seems like an against-all-odds prospect, but I’m grateful for it. I love you, Neil. Thank you for unerringly following your muse, regardless of the bats**t crazy blind alleys down which it takes you.

AN INTERVIEW WITH SUNDAZED RECORDS FOUNDER BOB IRWIN ABOUT THE BEACH BOYS’ PET SOUNDS (Ep. 232B)

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. In this episode, we feature the next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series. It’s Chuck’s chat with re-issue genius Bob Irwin. Bob and his wife Mary started the Sundazed Music label in 1989. The first Sundazed releases were The Great Lost Knickerbockers Album! by The Knickerbockers and Western Union by The Five Americans, and reflected Irwin’s personal preference for garage rock and surf music. His skill at restoring old vinyl records for the (then new) CD format attracted the attention of major labels, who increasingly solicited him to help them re-issue material from their back catalogs. He also helped Sony Music release their archival Legacy Records label. Later, his restoration work included early material by the likes of Bob Dylan, Nancy Sinatra, & The Byrds.

In this episode, Bob discusses his relationship with Pet Sounds, its standing in the pantheon no matter how many times you’ve heard it, its importance and influence on music in general, and the wonders of a technology with inherent, imposed limitations.

There’ll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti’s Patreon.

Welcome to a new, FREE episode of what is typically Rudy Fischmann’s Patreon-only “podcast-within-a-podcast”, The Discograffiti Soldiers of Sound Podcast. This episode was so goddamn strong, it literally broke through the paywall by itself and leaped into the public stream of its own accord.

The “voice” of The Sabbath Sessions is back, but this time to explore a far more debauched tale about a group of nerds (er, brassholes?) who found themselves flush with instrument reeds, cash, and lots and lots of co***ne while recording another roman numeralled Chicago LP in a remote Colorado location.

And yet somehow, it all resulted in a #1 platinum-selling double album.

1001 ALBUM COMPLAINTS HOST ROB KASSEES’S STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO MAKE A RECORD (Ep. 231B)

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. In this episode, Dave Gebroe interviews our brother podcast’s host Rob Kassees as he walks us through the process of creating and releasing your own album, something he’s done many times over by this point. In fact, he’s just released an initial sold-out vinyl press run of a new record that has to be heard to be believed.

Stay Puft is the best Ghostbusters musical you’ll hear this year. Upbeat songs and catchy hooks abound as his band The Chop retells the story of science’s triumph over ancient Sumerian demigods. If you love indie concept albums made by old pros whose friendship and experience ooze through the speakers at every turn, you’ll love Stay Puft. Printed with love to special “Slimer-green” vinyl with all original songs and artwork.
