50. PAUL MAJOR REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND THE NEW DAWN'S 1970 LP "THERE'S A NEW DAWN" (DISCOGRAFFITI'S THE PRIVATE PRESS)

Your Pavement Reunion Tour Companion keeps the party going with one of Stephen Malkmus’ favorite private presses of all time, a one-off downer garage psych concept album from 1970 out of Salem, Oregon about a guy who decides to off himself—this is absolutely one of the great Sixties comedown rekkids of all time. The New Dawn will also mark the final appearance of The Private Press as a free weekly series—now you gotta subscribe! And it’s well worth it—your host Paul Major is the greatest, most enthusiastic private press record collector of all time—and leader of the thunderously awesome band Endless Boogie—and he’ll be introducing you and I to a brand new incredible record you’ve almost definitely never heard of every single week, along with personal tales of tracking these folk down that rocket his recommendations into another category entirely. That’s right, it’s a whole other show that runs concurrently with Discograffiti, intended for the deep-dive diehards out there who just can’t can’t enough great music recommendations. Sign up for the Major tier on our Patreon page (www.Patreon.com/Discograffiti) to get The Private Press every Thursday!

49. PAVEMENT'S BOB NASTANOVICH RATES & REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND PAVEMENT'S ROAD TO "SLANTED AND ENCHANTED" (PART 1, 1989-1992: SLAY TRACKS, DEMOLITION PLOT J-7, PERFECT SOUND FOREVER, & MORE)

It’s not every day that Pavement reunites for a tour. In fact, since breaking up in 1999, it’s only happened once, in 2010…and then again this week! Huge props go to Bob Nastanovich, a true mensch, who thoroughly delivered on his promise of ruthless honesty in his assessments of the entire Pavement catalog during our epic 8 hour interview. A 6-episode series that covers the entire length of the tour, we’ll also be offering a tremendous amount of bonus interview content on Patreon, so be sure to check that out. And we’re withholding our big surprise until the end of the tour, so stay tuned…it’s going to be a well-earned celebration of all things Pavement! In episode one, we cover the band’s first several EPs, as they navigated their way through the indie fanzine world before semi-stardom came a-courtin’.

47. BIOGRAPHER DAVID RITZ REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND MARVIN GAYE & ALL HIS RECORDS (PART 3, 1976-1984: HERE MY DEAR, IN OUR LIFETIME, MIDNIGHT LOVE, "SEXUAL HEALING", & HIS DEATH)

Nobody stays on top forever, but the most interesting artists in music history have made the most admirably crazy kinds of noise on the way down. And what better example, really, than Marvin’s batshit-crazy 1978 double album divorce masterpiece “Here, My Dear.” Featuring special guest David Ritz, author of “Divided Soul: The Life Of Marvin Gaye” and co-author of Marvin’s biggest hit "Sexual Healing,” in Marvin Gaye Part III we are treated to a staggering, almost Zapruder-like reconstruction of the very moments that wound up leading to the career comeback he was fortunate to experience before his untimely end. Not to be missed.

46. BIOGRAPHER DAVID RITZ REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND MARVIN GAYE & ALL HIS RECORDS (PART 2, 1970-1975: WHAT'S GOING ON, TROUBLE MAN, LET'S GET IT ON, & I WANT YOU)

…And here is where the rubber truly hits the road for Marvin Gaye, with his career kicking into frighteningly high gear as a result of the stream of classics that came tumbling out of him, one after the other, colossal works such as What’s Going On and Let’s Get It On. Featuring special guest David Ritz, author of “Divided Soul: The Life Of Marvin Gaye” and co-author of Marvin’s biggest hit "Sexual Healing,” we stop and smell the roses this go-round, as it’s not often you get a full-disclosure interview with a key eyewitness—and contributor—to some of the greatest music ever made.
