All the way from Sydney, Australia we are joined by Singer/Songwriter and Harry Nilsson enthusiast, Ben Lee. Ben requested an album he didn't know too well so we tackled "Duit On Mon Dei", the first offering from Harry's post Pussycats "Chaos Trilogy".

1965 - 1995 - 2025...We are smack dab in the 30 year cycle and it feels like music might be making a comeback. Newport is on and the vibe seems as pure as it was back in 65. 

RIP to The Prince of Darkness. A rock singer with the rare power to scare us, charm us or make us laugh at any given moment. Today we give Ozzy a proper send off with an official IWOL ranking and we also dig a little deeper into John Lennon's Lost Weekend, an event that Ozzy would have probably enjoyed ;)

It's time to talk about everybody's favourite rock n roll lost weekend and the album smack dab in the middle of it all. And who better to have on for it then our sunset strip correspondant Luke Paquin. 

The boys are back in Canada. We recap our time in LA and dig back into the Nilsson catalogue.

And… we’re back, baby — with a podcast for the ages and a hangover full of tone. After a week holed up in the holy madness of Jonathan Wilson’s Topanga ashram—equal parts studio, shrine, and psychedelic nerve center—we did what any self-respecting rock ’n’ roll pilgrims would do: we rolled tape, spilled our guts, and chased the muse straight into the canyon.

It’s the debrief, the breakdown, the smoke curling off the last take. We love you, Jonathan. You beautiful wizard freak.

We were fired up and started talking. And it didn't stop.

Recording live vs. overdubbing is like the difference between a bar fight and a choreographed duel—lightning vs. a lighting rig. Vibe vs. Technical in an all-out deathmatch. 

Overdubbing gives you control, precision, all that antiseptic perfection—but who the hell wants to sound like Steely Dan doing math homework? Or the Eagles, high school bullies throwing everyone into a circle of fear 'til it's pitch perfect? Recording live? That’s Neil, that’s Bob—raw nerve, no net. That’s where the action is. And the action, man... the action is the juice.

This is an episode full of as much laughter and delight as the Harry Nilsson album in question. Just rock n roll clowns letting the good times roll on. Nothin' fancy. Grab a Brandy and dive in.

The boys are in studio mode over the weekend so, while we do discuss and rank Harry Nilsson's "The Point" and re-cap our amazing time with Jimmy Webb, it's also a bit of an IWOL slice of life episode. Some gear talk too, which we know everyone loves. 

Our guest on today's episode of Impossible Way Of Life needs no introduction. Having Jimmy Webb on our show was a dream come true for both of us. In fact, it was an almost mystical experience. This is a man who was in the recording studios, limousines and bars that we have romanticized since the day we started this podcast (and well before). Beyond that, he happened to write some of the most iconic songs in pop music history. So to have him here for the simple, yet beautiful purpose of sharing stories about his friend Harry Nilsson was one of the highlights of our lives.
