THE FULL STORY BEHIND RANDY CALIFORNIA & SPIRIT (PART 4: BAND BREAKS UP, JO JO GUNNE, FEEDBACK, & KAPTAIN KOPTER) (Ep. 243B)

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Host Dave Gebroe talks with Spirit biographer Ryan Gabrinetti about the classic psych band’s entire recorded output, with commentary, stories, and star ratings for every release. Part 4 covers the period that kicks off the most interesting era of the band, as far as Discograffiti sees it.

Here are just a few of the many things that Ryan discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

  • The chaotic events that led to the band’s break up;
  • The formation of Spirit side act Jo Jo Gunne, which eventually seceded from Spirit and enjoyed success of their own;
  • A brief rundown of the Jo Jo Gunne discography;
  • The one-off iteration of Spirit without Randy California in it, which thankfully produced only a single record, whose closest comparison point is The Velvet Underground’s Squeeze;
  • The manically inspired beginning of Randy California’s solo career, and the underrated masterwork that came out of it;
  • And an in-depth deep dive on every song off Spirit’s Feedback and Randy California’s Kapt. Kopter And The (Fabulous) Twirly Birds.
