David Bowie - Hunky Dory 03.03.2021 1:04:45
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.
The Eagles - Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 (With Mike Komaszczuk) 24.02.2021 1:02:53
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 by our good friend and stats guy Mike, who was in a fugue state for most of this recording. This is O.G Impossible Way of Life energy, where it all began baby. This one is for the fans.

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 weeks we will do Bowie Record, but we have to Black Pill all the way to The Eagles first. Love you guys.

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 where to get the best Chilean wine in Echo Park. Dan’s Sm7B podcast microphone was going through a very impressive signal chain before reaching his 1/2” tape machine, so expect superb sound quality on th...
The Byrds - Notorious Byrd Brothers 03.02.2021 1:05:18
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 favourite episode we've done - sexually, philosophically, and psychotically.
The Doors - L.A Woman 27.01.2021 1:00:24
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. Were you aware that Jim Morrison, Frank Zappa, “Papa John” Phillips, and David Crosby were all children of high-ranking members of the American military, and that Jim Morrison was made in a control...
Joni Mitchell - Blue 20.01.2021 1:07:10
Carrying on the deep dive into The Ladies of the Canyon Folkie scene, the boys compare how many times they cried during Side A of Joni's Mitchell's "Blue." We try out some different pre-amps, see where "Blue" features on Pitchforks 100 best albums of the 70s list, and debate whether James Taylor was a fine piece of ass. She is one of the best there is and ever was -...
The Kinks - The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (With Vom Cruise) 13.01.2021 1:10:42
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.
Derek and the Dominoes - Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs 06.01.2021 1:06:26
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.
The Beatles - White Album (Part 1) 30.12.2020 1:12:56
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, instead of a double. Catch next Sunday's episode for the 2nd part.
Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel 23.12.2020 1:06:11
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 and Emmylou's "Grievous Angel." This one is for our boy Sam, glad you're feelin' better, love you x

Happy Last Waltz Day.
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms 25.11.2020 1:00:15
No idea why we choose this record. We did make a plans to cook each other pasta, though. Here it is, with no further ado - Brothers in Arms, the best marketed album of all time, plus they use a really naught word on it.
