The universe works in mysterious ways. The stars appear to be aligning perfectly for you, but it turns out you got dropped in the wrong place at the wrong time. This episode is about Big Star.

We are joined by author and all around Kinks enthusiast Chris Kocher. Chris' book "Thank You For The Days" is a lovingly put together collection of stories from Kinks fans all over the world. This podcast is all about community and so is Chris. He also knows more about The Kinks than anyone who has been on this show so we learned a lot over the course of the hour.

In the wise words of Axl Rose...where do we go now? Our Kinks marathon isn't quite over but it's wrapping up and it feels natural to head in a Power Pop direction. The problem is some people are also calling for an IWOL journey through Harry Nilsson's wild, storied music life. What will the decision be?!

This is quite possibly our most Canadian episode to date. We are joined by John Batt of @canada.gov.ca instagram fame. For those of you who don't live in Canada, John is basically Canadian royalty at this point. Topics include the NHL playoffs, Sloan, Wolf Parade, The Junos, Weird Al (not Canadian somehow) and Eastern Canada's love of Jam bands.

We're hanging on to this Kinks marathon by a thread but we manage to eek out a discuss on Preservation Act 1. Other than that, Johnny got stoned and went to see Pink Floyd - At Pompeii at the IMAX and we're just generally switching into glide on a Saturday.

On New Year’s Day in 1962, a four-man band from Liverpool arrived at Decca Records in London to record a demo tape. The band’s 15-song audition was apparently underwhelming: The Beatles were rejected from the label in favour of a group called Brian Poole and the Tremeloes.

The audition tapes, too, were soon forgotten, aside from some incomplete bootlegs that circulated among die-hard fans and five songs released on the 1995 compilation album Anthology 1. So when Rob Frith, the owner of Neptoon Records in Vancouver, and the man we interview today, brought a tape labeled “Beatles ’60s demos” to his friend’s studio on a whim, he didn’t know the value of what he possessed.

Impossible Way of Life is created by musicians, for musicians—diving deep into the grind, the glory, and the gritty truth of life in the music world. Just like you need us, we need you.

Thanks again Rob for this interview.
