Episode 372 - IWOL Decides

Impossible Way Of Life ·

2024/11/06

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

Impossible Way Of Life ·

2024/11/03

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.

(TEASER) Epsiode 367 - Neil Young - Zuma

Impossible Way Of Life ·

2024/10/20

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.
