Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Feed Your Head: The Great Jefferson Airplane Deep Dive is an audio documentary that was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth. It includes long-form interviews, commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release. Part 21 of the series features Jack and I doing a deep, deep dive on the songs off the band’s first LP of the 1970s, Bark. Here are just a few of the many things that Jack discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:A dissection of the final release by the classic line-up: the “Mexico”/“Have You Seen The Saucers” single;The version of Bark that never was, had the record been assembled while Marty Balin was still in the band;Marty Balin splits the band, and Papa John Creach joins;The working title of “Pretty As You Feel”, custom-designed to steer it clear of radio play;The great balance of songs that were built up from jam sessions for the LP;Whether or not Jack empathized with the pain inherent in Jorma’s lyrics for “Third Week In The Chelsea”;The unique way in which Jorma wrote “Chelsea”; And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Bark.
