Impossible Way Of Life

Much discussed topic on the pod  since Episode 1 and we're try and get to the bottom of it once and for all.   So, the Doors are Pagan Pirates.  Dylan started Pilgrim, but shifted to Pirate in the mi…

Bleeker is back and he's pissed we didn't talk enough about Aja; so we did the only IWOL appropriate thing and tried to not talk about it again.  These Bleeker episodes are always my favourite, and w…

Over the course of the Pandemic there have been a number of powerful political songs by the Classic Rock heavy hitters (mostly recorded in Garageband, or to the same Rock Drum Loop). I'm talking Van,…

We got a new cable that allows us to play "fuckin' tunes mate."  Sun is out, and we went marina side and decided to dig in once and for all to the "West Coast" Sound.  Why does every song sound like …

The new variant is in Vancouver, we are facing lockdown, and in the midst of such uncertainty, felt the only way to go was keyed up positive smooth jazz pop fusion.  You've requested Steely Dan for a…

It’s 1970 and the Beatles are toast.  Lennon and Macca are going toe to toe (let’s not forget George).  Paul moves to the country and John spends 6 months in primal scream therapy.   They’re both dip…

Recorded this last week, so we drank Jameson's and Guinness and talked a little bit about Thin Lizzy, Bono, and Van Morrison.   Happy St Patrick's Day! 

It's a beautiful Wednesday afternoon, and it's time to listen to "Songs to get Keyed up on life too."  We are tapping our toes over here.

Staying with The Heartland  Sound / Don't Bore us Get To The Chorus Energy with Tom Petty.  Jimmy Iovine is still kicking around.  We are really thinking of just doing all the remaining records that …

Kinda a miracle we left Laurel Canyon in one piece.  Going back to Trident Studios for a hot minute.  Don't listen to this one if you don't like our impressions.

It took a couple months, but we finally got there.  The moment that the heart and soul of Laurel Canyon was ripped out by the talons of a Corporation more commonly known as The Eagles.  We are joined…

Staying in The Bay Area, we bring friend of the pod Alex Bleeker in talk all things Dead; James is still snowed in on Salt Spring Island, so basically in a hot air balloon, and we swear in a couple w…

The boys are joined by producer, bassist and legendary Deadhead Dan Horne for an informal powwow on Jerry and The Gang. 

The Dead’s infamous “wall of sound” touring rig is investigated, along with whe…

Still in Laurel Canyon, and we spent the whole goddam' hour trying to figure it out and we have no idea who is in this band.  The only thing we do know, is they booted Crosby out for this one.  Our f…

Did you know that LSD and hippies were invented by the CIA in the 1960s? No?  The idea was to hook kids on sex, drugs and rock & roll, so they would not overthrow the military industrial complex.   

W…

Joined by meme overlord and "bloody good bloke," Vom Cruise aka Sam, and we talk about an album it's really difficult to joke around about, cause it's THAT good.

We watched this doc - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3614126/ on Clapton in the 70s, and thought we'd try and get to the bottom of it all.  Funny stuff.

Still riding a high from Peter Jackson's "Get Back," teaser; so we thought let's do a two part production on The White Album, and then try and condense this notoriously dense record into a single LP,…

Merry Christmas Everyone

I went to his grave in Joshua Tree one time, he may be the most sincere singer of sad songs in his generation, let's dive into the World of Cosmic American Music, with Gram an…
