• 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.

• 208. MOBY GRAPE BIOGRAPHER CAM COBB ON SKIP SPENCE (EPISODE 1: PRE-GRAPE) (GRAPE EXPECTATIONS)

  Welcome to the inaugural episode of Grape Expectations, an immersive, 5-week-long, Rashomon-style series about the amazing band Moby Grape, featuring all three living band members and their biographer.  There is no crazier story in the history of music than that of The Grape. It includes disastrous tours, lawsuits, police busts, horribly nefarious managers, a fake touring version of the band, mysterious black magic witches, drug-induced madness, insane asylums, and attempted murder with an axe.  And, no joke—that’s just within the band’s first two years. The first episode features Moby Grape and Skip Spence biographer Cam Cobb talking about Skip’s dizzying years leading up to the formation of Moby Grape!Here’s just a few of the many things that Cam discusses with Discograffiti in Part 1 of this podcast:Skip’s wandering childhood;Coming up with Billy Dean Andrus in the South Bay folk scene;His first (little-known) acid trip;The truth behind the wild legend of Skip passing through both Quicksilver and Jefferson Airplane in literally one afternoon;Skip’s initial songwriting efforts;And his whirlwind 10-month tenure in The Airplane!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 11 additional minutes of essential material. Purchase The Director’s Cut as a one-off: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/DiscograffitiOrder Cam Cobb’s Skip Spence bio: https://a.co/d/iuSyBGcCONNECTJoin 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.

  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 during the final chapter of this podcast:The band’s brief experience employing a manager;The most off-the-beaten-path place that Dean’s ever performed “Hearing Voices”;Initial rumblings of the formation of Luna;Dean’s surprising favorite track on the record;Honest details about the disintegration of Galaxie 500;And a track-by-track rundown of their classic final LP, This Is Our Music!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.
