Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. The Crazy Tale of Quicksilver Messenger Service is an audio documentary series that was crafted to act as the ultimate assemblage of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth. This 8-episode series is built around a 2 1/2 hour interview with The Patti Smith Group’s Lenny Kaye, and the main event: an unprecedentedly detailed five-hour interview with last man standing David Freiberg, a very special experience that—regardless of how you feel about the group—will absolutely blow your mind with its unique twists and turns. There’s in-depth commentary on their history, a slew of endlessly wild stories, and star ratings for every release.  This is Part 6 of the series—and part 3 of my discussion with David—in which we cover the time period during which Quicksilver Messenger Service recorded their classic sophomore album, Happy Trails.Here are just a few of the many things that David discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:The obscure single they recorded in between albums one and two;The piecemeal techniques with which they assembled the entire record;The parts of Happy Trails on which the band is playing while high on LSD;Whether David prefers this or the debut;Gary Duncan’s own take on dealing with his drug struggles;And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Happy Trails.
