Episode 3 of our Grape Expectations Series features two—count ‘em, TWO SEPARATE INTERVIEWS with drummer Don Stevenson and guitarist Peter Lewis, each of whom gives their own Rashomon-like perspective on the fascinating early part of Moby Grape’s career. Disastrous tours, lawsuits, police busts, horribly nefarious managers, a fake touring version of the band, mysterious black magic witches, and drug-induced madness.  And, no joke—that’s just within the band’s first two years. The first episode of my conversations with both Don & Peter features both men discussing their first two records, the self-titled debut and Wow, right up to when Skip had his breakdown.Here’s just a few of the many things that Don & Peter both separately discuss with Discograffiti in Part 1 of our conversation:How the band initially coalesced;The early days finding their sound at The Ark;How the major label feeding frenzy over the band wound up impacting them;Don’s infamous front cover middle finger;An in-depth discussion of their legendary self-titled debut;The steep downhill slide that began literally on the night of their launch party;And the time Skip broke down crying in the studio when the reaction to his new song wasn’t as he’d expected.Then, for good measure, Peter drops a bomb at the end of the whole thing.Listen: linktr.ee/discograffitiI support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income. If you’re a Moby Grape & Skip Spence superfan like me, The Director’s Cut of this episode is ad-free and features A WHOPPING 52 ADDITIONAL MINUTES of essential material. Purchase The Director’s Cut as a one-off at Patreon.com/Discograffiti.Purchase the full Grape Expectations Collection: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1467935Subscribe to Discograffiti’s Patreon at the Major Tier and receive a ceaseless barrage (4 shows a week) of must-hear binge-listening: Patreon.com/DiscograffitiCONNECTJoin our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153Patreon: www.Patreon.com/DiscograffitiPodfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DiscograffitiOrder the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.

208B. SNEAK PEEK OF MOBY GRAPE’S BOB MOSLEY: THE INTERVIEW (GRAPE EXPECTATIONS EPISODE 2)

The great Bob Mosley—Mr. Blues himself—is known for a soul-belting voice that is a true force of nature.  As a man who’s transcended his share of real blues (a bout of homelessness, a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia that’d sideline the average person), conversely Bob has fronted multiple bands, been idolized by Robert Plant, and played in a late-1970s supergroup with Neil Young called The Ducks. Here’s just a few of the many things that Bob discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:What it was like opening for The Rolling Stones;How he first found out that he could sing like that;His favorite song on Moby Grape’s classic debut;What it was like living on the street;His relationship with Skip Spence, both of whom endured a lifetime struggle with the same severe psychological diagnoses, yet neither man ever admitted defeat. 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.

205. DEAN WAREHAM RATES GALAXIE 500 (PART 1: TODAY)

For my money, Galaxie 500 was the greatest dream pop group that ever existed.  And Dean’s Discograffiti appearance couldn’t possibly be better timed: his brand-new solo LP, That’s The Price Of Loving Me—his best work since 1990 imho—marks the first time he and producer Kramer have collaborated since that very year, after the latter had doused Galaxie 500’s perfect triumvirate of albums in his trademark reverb bath. Here’s just a few of the many things that Dean discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:A deep-dive into the degree of urgency intended by “Don’t Let Our Youth Go To Waste,” which Discograffiti wisely co-opted as its eternal sign-off;An overview of the type of material proffered by Dean’s early band Speedy & The Castanets;The early champions who wound up making things happen for the band;And a track-by-track rundown of Galaxie 500’s demo tape and their classic debut, Today!Listen: linktr.ee/discograffitiI support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income. If you’re a Galaxie 500 superfan like me, you’ll want The Director’s Cut of this episode.

204B. STREET CRED: HOW I WOUND UP CORRESPONDING WITH AN ALLEGED CANNIBAL RAPPER

One day on a whim about a decade ago, I reached out to incarcerated rapper Big Lurch, with the idea of one day making a documentary about his legitimately crazy tale. He responded with a letter. Then another. And another, all of them beautifully written. And then the calls started coming, sometimes as many as several a day. The documentary never wound up getting off the ground, but the letters and calls—while not always consistent—never stopped.  Until, one day, they did. 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.
