(TEASER) Episode 380 - I Love L.A

SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife Johnny is down in Los Angeles, chasing the spirit of The Hollywood Vampires. Whether it’s at The Rainbow, the Whisky a Go Go, or Zebulon for the Sam Blasucci show, he’s not trying to "capture the zeitgeist" — he’s there to crack it open and watch it spill out like egg yolk on a diner counter. Meanwhile, I’m up in Vancouver, carving out my own little rock and roll fantasy — finishin...

(TEASER) Episode 377 - Four Era Beatles World Tour Setlist (Feat. A.I John Lennon)

SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife Ever wondered what would happen if The Beatles reunited as A.I holograms and embarked on a four set, four era world tour? What songs would they choose to play and why? Well, we sat down with A.I John Lennon himself and asked him and, quite frankly, we may never be the same again.

Episode 376 - The Lennon-McCartney Axis

This is a BIG John and Paul episode. We're getting to the essence of something that goes beyond Beatles. Something that affects all of us. No cool stories in rock here, just raw, reactionary music journalism. We are asking the tough questions week in and week out. Bravely going where no Beatles commentary has gone before.

Episode 374 - Ram On (Feat. Trevor Spencer)

Producer and engineer to the stars Trevor Spencer joins us to defend his favourite college dorm room McCartney album, "Ram". Tensions are high, internet is wobbly, sunshine is blinding. It's Wednesday on Impossible Way Of Life.

(TEASER) Episode 373 - McCartney (The Album)

SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife The people have spoken and we are diving head first into discussing and ranking Paul's 70s records. There's only one place to start: His true bedroom/indie, exploratory, one man jam album "McCartney". Beatles are good?

Episode 372 - IWOL Decides

It's the morning after the election and we are all deciding where to go next, both as a podcast and as a society. We have finished our journey through Neil Young's albums (the best ones) and are on the bridge headed somewhere new. The destination is uncertain but we will get to the other side, one way or another, hand in hand, one step at a time.

(TEASER) Episode 371 - Rust Never Sleeps

Well, it's definitely better to burn out than to fade away when it comes to our Neil Young album ranking extravaganza. Our journey through the past may end here at "Rust Never Sleeps", but ol' Neil's still flying down the road like the hurricane that he is. Long may your run, Neil. Long may you run.

Episode 370 - The Leshian Approach (Feat. Alex Bleeker)

This is a pretty totemic episode. We welcome back IWOL alumni Alex Bleeker to plug his new book "Taste In Music", eulogize and rank Phil Lesh and discuss Neil Young's "Comes a Time". There's a little controversy mixed in too....don't miss this one.

(TEASER) Episode 369 - American Stars and Bars

As our Neil Young campaign nears its end we saddle up the palomino and mosy into American Stars and Bars. We've also had just about enough of the league of technical music villains and their attempted coup d'etat of classic rock, so we're fighting back.

Epsiode 368 - Long May You Run

Neil's living on the dock and Stills is scuba diving off the deep end and getting high on his own nitrogen supply. You guessed it folks...we've made it to "Long May You Run" by The Stills Young Band.

(TEASER) Epsiode 367 - Neil Young - Zuma

An atmospheric river is hitting the BC coast this weekend so we talk and rank Neil Young's "Zuma" before the apocalypse hits and the internet goes down. Neil Young’s Zuma feels like a musical equivalent of Ed Harris’s character in The Rock—both driven by conflict, intensity, and moments of raw emotion that seem to surge from a place of deep conviction. If Brigadier General Francis Hummel had a soundtrack to his brooding, morally complicated mission, it could very well be Zuma—an album that balan...

Episode 366 - On The Beach

Johnny is in Vancouver, crashing on James's couch. Before settling in for a double feature of Days of Thunder and The Rock , they take a moment to discuss Neil Young's On The Beach , exploring themes of isolation and disillusionment in what many consider his best album.

It's a Sunday slice folks. Happy Thanksgiving.
