Discograffiti

I’m going to let Bill Medley explain why this one’s a must-hear: “This is one of the most unbelievable interviews I’ve ever done in my life, and I appreciate it, and I thank you—I can retire now.  It’s been an honor, it’s been a lot of fun. You’ve asked me a lot of questions that I’ve never been asked before, and probably brought more out of me than I wanted to give--or should give--but hey, it is what it is, and I love you for it.” Here’s just some of the many things Bill and I touch on in this podcast:  The real reason why he actually left The Righteous Brothers back in 1968; His hilarious three-month-long love affair with marijuana in 1970; What inspired their 1974 reunion; And unforgettable, heartbreaking details of Bobby Hatfield’s death scene, onto which Bill stumbled in 2003.

BILL MEDLEY: “This is one of the most unbelievable interviews I’ve ever done in my life, and I appreciate it, and I thank you—I can retire now.  It’s been an honor, it’s been a lot of fun. You’ve asked me a lot of questions that I’ve never been asked before, and probably brought more out of me than I wanted to give--or should give--but hey, it is what it is, and I love you for it.” Here’s just some of the many things Bill and I touch on in this podcast:  An in-depth discussion about their plan to have Phil Spector produce only the singles, while—believe it or not—Bill himself produced absolutely everything else; How they dealt with a management proposal from Brian Epstein after leaving The Beatles tour; A tremendous kitchen-sink-deep-dive into “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’”; The Righteous Brothers song that we share as our all-time favorite;  And an explicitly candid conversation about the damage Phil Spector did to the Brothers’ relationship.

Jenny Toomey & Kristin Thomson—arguably the two women most responsible for the ceaseless onslaught of incredible indie music in the 1990s due to the Simple Machines Records label and their explosively powerful band Tsunami—go head-to-head-to-head with Discograffiti during an unprecedented 3-hour interview during which they discuss the entirety of their catalog, which thankfully is being reissued today by Numero Group in a lovingly compiled box set entitled Loud Is As. Do yourself a big favor and get yourself one. Here’s just some of the many things Jenny, Kristen, and I touch on in this podcast:  The story of how and why their label Simple Machines Records came to be; A track-by-track discographical discussion of everything they’ve ever released;  And why the band finally decided to initially call it a day.

In a Discograffiti first, my interview with Howard Jones focuses exclusively on the decade-plus period when he followed his musical dreams while the universe ignored him almost completely.  The Director’s Cut on our Patreon page also includes an in-depth, 30-minute, track-by-track discussion of his masterful debut, Humans Lib.   Here’s just some of the many things Howard and I touch on in this podcast:  Rare details on Howard’s very first band, the 1971 prog outfit Warrior; Why the manager who broke him internationally initially turned him down before changing his mind; And the ways in which Howard was able to stay grounded when an explosion of superstardom followed over a decade of obscurity!
