162. THE FREE DESIGN, PART 3 (WITH SANDY, BRUCE, & ELLEN DEDRICK) (Discograffiti, the music obsessives' podcast)
Manage episode 427310163 series 3287113
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 Part 3 of 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:
- Why the band began disintegrating, and the reasons behind Bruce’s departure;
- The hard left into the weird world of The Starscape Singers, the Canadian chorale into which most of The Free Design were absorbed after the band split;
- And a deep-dive exploration of Stars/Time/Bubbles/Love, Free Design Sings For Very Important People, One By One, There Is A Song, and Peekaboo!

If you’re a Free Design superfan like me, you’ll want the DIRECTOR’S CUT of this & the rest of the installments of Discograffiti’s Free Design Series—this episode alone features no ads and AN ADDITIONAL 30 MINUTES of essential material that we had to cut for time. To purchase it as a one-off: www.patreon.com/discograffiti/shop/
Or subscribe! Extended edits of all shows are available on either the Lieutenant (longer) or Major (longest) Tiers. Discograffiti’s 4-show-a-week release schedule can be yours for the price of a cup of coffee a week.
