Episode 474 - The Need To Impress (Part 2)

Impossible Way Of Life ·

2025/11/19

We expand upon the last episode's theme and inch closer to writing an IWOL manifesto on the subject of Impress Culture in 2025 vs Pop Music Purity of the Past. We're either on to something or sound like two old men complaining about the world. Either way it's good for a laugh. We also continue our Beatles Anthology preview.

Episode 470 - John & Yoko - The Playboy Interview...

Impossible Way Of Life ·

2025/11/05

The plot thickens as we sift through the pages of the 1980 John & Yoko Playboy Interview. Is this truly a rock confessional from a music legend returning to the public eye? Or is it a smoke and mirrors show from two marketing savvy gurus on a fresh press tour for their new album? Your rock n roll detectives are here to figure it out.

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.&...

(IWOL Archives) - Episode 35 - The Notorious Byrd...

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.
