160. THE FREE DESIGN, PART 1 (WITH SANDY, BRUCE, & ELLEN DEDRICK)
There is one sunshine pop band that stands as the greatest example of the genre, and that one band is The Free Design. They had one 1967 hit, “Kites Are Fun”—it hit #114, and that was it. But that’s only the beginning…
In this unprecedented 5 1/2 hour interview with 3/4 of the original brother-sister quartet, Discograffiti explores the history and output of the band with appropriately fawning adoration.
Here’s just a choice sampling of what’s bandied about in this podcast:
How their polio-stricken musician father raised six kids on an upstate New York farm while existing barely above poverty level;
What allowed them to sing their complex vocal arrangements right along with the session musicians as they laid down their tracks live in the studio;
And a deep-dive exploration of their classic 1967 debut LP, Kites Are Fun!

159. JOHN PHILLIPS: THE SOLO YEARS (PART 2: WASTED)
First there were all the seminal, early folk outfits…then came The Mamas & The Papas, and now…welcome to The Solo Years, where plenty of buried treasure and fascinating insanity awaits! (I’m lookin’ at you, John.)
In this, the very last episode of Discograffiti’s Mamas & Papas Series, Richard Campbell (@richcbart) & creator/host Dave Gebroe explore & rate John’s solo recording career.
Here’s just a choice sampling of what’s bandied about in this podcast:
The monstrous failure of John’s 1975 off-Broadway flop “Man On The Moon”;
How John was responsible for the final Rolling Stones album of their classic Mick Taylor era, and why those recordings went unreleased;
And a stark account of possibly the most self-destructive bender any one human being has ever undertaken in the history of narcotics abuse.

158. JOHN PHILLIPS: THE SOLO YEARS (PART 1: WOLFKING)
First there were all the seminal, early folk outfits…then came The Mamas & The Papas…and now welcome to The Solo Years, where plenty of buried treasure and fascinating insanity awaits! (I’m lookin’ at you, John.)
In this special penultimate installment of Discograffiti’s Mamas & The Papas Series, Richard Campbell (@richcbart) & creator/host Dave Gebroe explore & rate John’s solo recording career.
In this special 2-part final installment of our Mamas & Papas series, here’s just a choice sampling of what’s bandied about:
An intense deep dive down into the murky deep of John’s classic 1970 solo LP John, The Wolfking Of LA;
The measly, solitary single that emerged as the result of John’s $50,000 advance from Clive Davis;
And the legendary origin story behind John’s classic song “Me & My Uncle,” which was written while he was blackout drunk…and went on to become the most performed song in Grateful Dead history!

157. MICHELLE PHILLIPS: THE SOLO YEARS (RATED BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS)
First there were all the seminal, early folk outfits…then came The Mamas & The Papas…and now welcome to The Solo Years, where plenty of buried treasure and fascinating insanity awaits! (I’m lookin’ at you, John.)
In this special penultimate installment of Discograffiti’s without-precedent 16-hour interview, Michelle Phillips guests along with band biographer Richard Campbell (@richcbart) & creator/host Dave Gebroe as we put our heads & hearts together to explore & rate Michelle’s solo recording career.
We talk about:
Every musical gesture she made after leaving The Mamas & The Papas;
What it was like working with notorious wildman Jack Nitschze on her lone solo LP Victim Of Romance;
And the last time she ever stepped in a recording studio, when she provided background vocals for what turned out to be a ubiquitous #1 smash hit!

156. MAMA CASS, THE SOLO YEARS (FEATURING MICHELLE PHILLIPS)
First there were all the seminal, early folk outfits…then came The Mamas & The Papas…and now welcome to The Solo Years, where plenty of buried treasure and fascinating insanity awaits! (I’m lookin’ at you, John.)
In Part 6 of this without-precedent 16-hour interview, Michelle Phillips guests along with band biographer Richard Campbell (@richcbart) & creator/host Dave Gebroe as we put our hearts & minds together for the singular purpose of exploring and rating Cass Elliot’s solo recording career.
In this episode, we reveal:
Brutal details about Cass’s fumbled 1968 solo career coming-out party in Las Vegas, when she took the stage high on heroin;
The confusing divide between Cass’s predilection for both tin pan alley-style song selection and countercultural material;
And a fact-based demystification of the details surrounding her death.

155. THE LEMON TWIGS FAWN OVER THE BEACH BOYS’ “WILD HONEY”
Brian & Michael D’Addario write great songs and release great albums, something they very much have in common with our mutual favorite band. The fertile period following the collapse of the mythic Smile project offers myriad auditory treasures, not least of all this charming soul confection from the fall of 1967.
In this episode, we reveal:
A sneak-attack rating of The Lemon Twigs’ entire discography;
How the myth of their unreleased masterpiece Smile made the lo-fi Beach Boys era an even more bemusing mindscrambler of a prospect for the record-buying public to accept;
And The Lemon Twigs’ prowess in getting me to a place of love and acceptance with all the latter-era Beach Boys records, including the mound of feces called Summer In Paradise.
