An Impossible Way Of Life

On today's episode we are joined by Justin Gage, the man who started Aquarium Drunkard way back in 2005. If you have followed music over the past 20 years, you have almost certainly been turned onto a new (or old) record by his thoughtfully and carefully curated audio journal. Justin is a real head and we had a great time chatting with him. We need folks like him more than ever these days so tune in and hear what he had to say.

James is still sipping Super Bock in Porto so the lads have a casual catch up and give each other a blind ranking challenge.

Merry Christmas from Johnny, James, John, Paul, George, Ringo, George, Mal, Neil, Sean, Yoko, Johnny Depp, Frodo, Gollum etc...

A drummer with a deep love for Ringo Starr and a restraint score above 7...what more can you ask for? We're talking of course about our guest, Noah Bond. This major player keeps time for Cut Worms and Alabama Shakes but, on his off days, he comes here to talk Beatles with us. What a guy.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. Although all of these recent episodes appear to have the same name and appear to be on the same topic, there is gold to be mined from all of them. If you know, you know...

We are again thrilled to be joined by the great Jim Berkenstadt, or as he is professionally known, The Rock And Roll Detective. For years he has been investigating the many mysteries in rock and roll history and, most notably, The Beatles. Jim has not only written books on the subject, he has been in the rooms, heard the tapes, seen the vaults and smelled the dusty attics where the cobwebs of fab four history still cling. The truth is out there everyone, and with Jim's help we'll get to the bottom of it. 

SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife Christmas came early this year. The new/old Beatles Anthology series is officially out. We're gonna take this one episode at a time. 

Beatles season is heating up and we're cooking up our hottest takes yet. The Beatles truly are the gift that keeps on giving, whether we want it or not.

SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife The Beatles are back with 30 plus tracks of Giles enhanced Anthology. Here is the IWOL take on the first half. 

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. 

SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Joe Cocker, The Cabal, pointing, kissing the ring, Yo Yo Ma, Jacob Collier, Best Arrangement Grammy, Finch (The Movie), We Are The World, Nebraska, John Lennon's new voice memos etc etc etc. It's all the same thing...

Friend of the pod and Sunset Strip major player Luke Paquin got to jam with one of his heroes last weekend. IWOL got the exclusive.

SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife We kind of watch the 1988 Imagine doc and talk more John, Yoko, Beatles etc etc. May not seem like much, but these morning coffee pods are producing some pretty hot takes. 

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.
