Episode 462 - A True Canadian Episode

Impossible Way Of Life ·

2025/10/01

James is still out in the great Canadian wilderness, channeling the sacred spirits of Gord Downie and Gord Lightfoot while searching for a Rock 'n Roll Heaven on Earth. Turns out maybe it was in Canada all along; Somewhere between Bobcaygeon and the Bloor St. Long & Mcquade. Meanwhile, Johnny is on the west coast building a sun deck out of red cedar and douglas fir, his blue Marvin Gaye toque soaked from the thick mist spitting off the wild Pacific. It's a true Canadian episode everyone.&...

Impossible Way Of Life ·

2025/09/24

James is on tour at the moment so we thought we'd take a Wednesday off and drop what is known as an IWOL "all timer". It is somewhat relevant though as we have been discussing The Byrds. Even though this episode is called "The Notorious Byrd Brothers" it's really just us trying to figure out who the hell is in The Byrds for an hour. A sweet side note is that my (Johnny) grandfather died the day this was recorded and the hilarity of this episode really lifted my spirits on a very sad day...

2025/09/17

James' very own hit making beat combo @yukon Blonde is storming the @impossiblewayoflife airwaves for a full-on Band Takeover episode. As we gear up for our cross-Canada tour, performing our power pop long player, “Friendship & Rock ’n’ Roll,” the whole gang piles into the green room to swap road stories, map out the long drives ahead, and crack open our hopes, fears, and daydreams for the shows to come. It’s the sound of a band in motion, revved up, restless, and ready to roll. Come see ...

Is this the cool side of the strip or is that over where Arthur Lee and Jim Morrison hang out? And how does this all relate to Oasis? We're trying to figure it all out.

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.

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 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!

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.&...
