Discograffiti host Dave Gebroe conducted a 13-hour interview with the two founders of legendary 1960s soft pop act The Association, Terry Kirkman and Jules Alexander, in which they rated the entirety of their own discography. 
It’s impossible to adequately put into words how surreal this series is.  Trust me, it’s unquestionably a ride worth taking no matter how you feel about the genre.
Welcome aboard the most lunatic series in Discograffiti history.   
In Part 3, our longest episode of all time at over 2 FULL HOURS, we tackle:
Terry’s unfortunate first experiences with heroin;
The overdose death of original bassist Brian Cole;
And how many ⭐️’s outta five Terry & Jules give Birthday (1968), the Goodbye Columbus OST (1969), and The Association (1969)!
NEXT WEEK: THE ASSOCIATION PART 4

Discograffiti host Dave Gebroe conducted a 13-hour interview with the two founders of legendary 1960s soft pop act The Association, Terry Kirkman and Jules Alexander, in which they rated the entirety of their own discography.  
It’s impossible to adequately put into words how surreal this series is.  Trust me, it’s unquestionably a ride worth taking no matter how the hell you feel about the genre.
Welcome aboard the most lunatic series in Discograffiti history.   
In Part 1, Terry & Jules reveal:
How they went about forming one of the most successful bands of all time;
The manifold difficulties of getting a record deal when you’d just invented a whole new genre of music;
And exactly how many acid trips were indeed taken, whether dosed or intentional.

109. PAVEMENT’S BOB NASTANOVICH & I PROCESS THE SURREALITY OF MY 13-HR INTERVIEW W/ THE ASSOCIATION BEING JUST THE START...+ RUTHANN FRIEDMAN INTERVIE...

I conducted a 13-hour interview with the two founders of legendary 1960s soft pop act The Association, Terry Kirkman and Jules Alexander, in which they rated the entirety of their own discography.  
In this episode, we start at the end, in deft tribute to Raging Bull, so as to better understand what precisely went down.
Post-interview, I hung out with the band, came close to bleeding to death (unrelated), was hired as their manager, and then was promptly ghosted. 
Confused? So am I, and so is Pavement’s Bob Nastanovich.  
Welcome aboard the most lunatic series in Discograffiti history.   
In Episode One, Discograffiti covers:
Gebroe’s plan to bring The Association back to relevance with a rock opera of unquestionable significance;
The reason I was given for being ghosted;
And the real reason Ruthann Friedman left the music industry for so many years.

108. THE TRAGIC FALL OF JIM GORDON, THE GREATEST DRUMMER OF ALL TIME...AND A SCHIZOPHRENIC WHO KILLED HIS OWN MOTHER (PART 2)

All Things Must Pass.
Derek & The Dominoes.
Rikki Don’t Lose That Number.
The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys. 
Maybe you haven’t heard his name, but you’ve definitely moved to the rhythm his hands beat out unerringly for years.  
In this episode, rock scribe and Jim Gordon biographer JOEL SELVIN details the starkly precipitous descent of the greatest and most tragic drummer of all time, JIM GORDON. 
Episode Two focuses on Jim’s terrifying descent into mental illness, which led to the murder of his own mother and a life sentence in prison. Joel Selvin talks with Discograffiti about:
The awe-inspiring story about how Jim achieved his studio masterpiece, Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain”;
The very moment that marked the end of his professional career;
And the horrifying forensic rundown of the events that led to the murder of his own mother.
NEXT WEEK: PART ONE OF TERRY KIRKMAN & JULES ALEXANDER OF THE ASSOCIATION RATING THEIR OWN CATALOG IN AN UNPRECEDENTED 13-HOUR INTERVIEW!

107. THE RISE OF JIM GORDON, THE GREATEST DRUMMER OF ALL TIME...AND A SCHIZOPHRENIC WHO KILLED HIS OWN MOTHER

All Things Must Pass. Derek & The Dominoes. You’re So Vain. Rikki Don’t Lose That Number. The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys. 
Maybe you haven’t heard his name, but you’ve definitely moved to the rhythm his hands beat out unerringly for years.  
In this episode, rock scribe and Jim Gordon biographer JOEL SELVIN talks in-depth with Discograffiti about both the greatest and most tragic drummer of all time, JIM GORDON. 
Episode One focuses on Jim’s meteoric rise through and conquering of the 1960s and ‘70s pop/rock universe.  Joel Selvin talks with Discograffiti about:
The convoluted process by which Jim brought the piano coda to Layla, renowned for its use at the end of GoodFellas;
The tune Jim laid down in 1974 that wound up as the most sampled drum break in history;
And the ways in which Jim managed his schizophrenia that allowed him to move about undetected amidst the highest levels of the era’s rock aristocracy.
NEXT FRIDAY: PART 2, THE TRAGIC FALL OF JIM GORDON.
