I’m heading down to meet him for the big Oasis show, bucket hat, cagoule, and tracksuit packed and ready. Joining me is my old mucker Sam Hammond, here to talk Oasis, Gene Clark, and a few of those niche British phantoms that haunted our youth.

Episode 455 - Mr. Tambourine Man

Impossible Way Of Life ·

2025/09/03

Imagine releasing a song and it reshaping the pop music landscape as we know it. A song that makes almost everyone rethink what they're singing, wearing and smoking. Now imagine that song is a cover of a song called "Mr. Tambourine Man" and your band is called The Byrds.

We caught Tennis on their farewell gig, hearts cracked open, mascara bleeding and the cherry on the sundae, Real Estate stroll in to open the whole thi...

Jojo was a man who put out a new album, so he came back on the show... We also begin our journey into The Byrds' family tree of bands. Quite possibly the greatest in all of classic rock.

We never thought anyone would have the guts to come on this show and rank themselves... But now that they have announced that this is their final tour and album, Pat Riley and Alaina Moore of Tennis have decided to go where no guest has gone before. Today they gaze upon themselves in the deep dark pools of indie rock self awareness and come out with their heads held high and a richer understanding of all that came before and all that is to come. We love you TENNIS!

2025/08/03

In a very special edition episode of IWOL we are joined by esteemed guest Nathaniel Rateliff. In addition to being a powerful force of nature on the stage performing his own music with the Night Sweats, Nathaniel can boast that he is the only man, besides Harry Nilsson, to attempt the extremely challenging repertoire of songs that make up Harry's God-like masterwork "A Little Touch Of Schmilsson In The Night". So we ask you, who better to come on and talk about this music? Just about no one.&...

After a week holed up in the holy madness of Jonathan Wilson’s Topanga ashram—equal parts studio, shrine, and psychedelic nerve center—we did what any self-respecting rock ’n’ roll pilgrims would do: we rolled tape, spilled our guts, and chased the muse straight into the canyon.

Recording live vs. overdubbing is like the difference between a bar fight and a choreographed duel—lightning vs. a lighting rig. Vibe vs. Technical in an all-out deathmatch. Overdubbing gives you control, precision, all that antiseptic perfection—but who the hell wants to sound like Steely Dan doing math homework? ...
