In Part 1, John talks with Discograffiti about:
The 3 key figures who shaped MOJO at the start of its history;
How—contrary to the very soil in which Discograffiti’s taken root—the concept of ranking records has begun to feel superfluous to him…;
…but with that being said, John does reveal an old favorite, too. ❤️

113.5. TERRY KIRKMAN, A EULOGY (1939-2023): THE BEATING HEART OF THE ASSOCIATION HAS PASSED (Discograffiti, the music obsessives’ podcast)

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. 
The day after the final episode aired this past Friday, Terry passed away. This, then, is a brief eulogy to make sense of the impact this great man has had on my life, and the lives of so many others he touched with his undeniable warmth and compassion.
We will definitely cherish his memory forever.

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 4, the final chapter (!), we tackle:
What it felt like to tumble so quickly from the charts; 
How many ⭐️’s outta five Terry & Jules give Stop Your Motor (1971), Waterbeds In Trinidad (1972), and the slew of generic singles released through the 1970s & ‘80s;
And the not-so-happy-sounding Happy Together Tour during which Terry insists their manager stole millions of dollars from his acts and invited Terry to take part!

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.

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!
