    PHIL ELVERUM aka THE MICROPHONES aka MOUNT EERIE

    Travis and Emmanuel talk to the charming PHIL ELVERUM of THE MICROPHONES and MOUNT EERIE! We cover precisely why The Grateful Dead sucks, scoring free things at the dump, and nerding out over Eric's Trip. Plus we get deep on Phil's highschool road trip across Canada, performing Smashing Pumpkins covers at open mics, and taking baby passport photos. An instant CITY SLANG classic.

    MOTORISTS

    We've got Toronto's MOTORISTS on the show! We get sidetracked with an extensive discussion about Jim Carrey, and which cartoons were adapted from rated R movies... but then get into the meat of the episode: Motorists handpick a car-themed set list and give us the lowdown on each song. Come for the Ace Ventura talk, stay for the deep cuts!

    We interview Detroit's Deadbeat Beat outside of Cinqhole in Ottawa! We get deep into record nerd talk about King Crimson, Sparks, and 7" records with a single song on both sides. Plus we discuss shooting videos outside of nuclear power plants, and the time Deadbeat Beat got the best compliment possible from Robert Pollard!

    SLOAN!

    Chris Murphy of SLOAN joins us out of nowhere, invoked like a Canadian demon after we spoke about them during our 90s episode! Emmanuel has a wide-ranging conversation with Chris about how his hardcore and punk past informed Sloan, their Nirvana crossover, the time Chris' baby was a fashion critic on Canadian Entertainment Tonight, and we find out who the line "it's not the band I hate/it's their fans" is about! PLUS, Chris absolves Emmanuel of abandoning Sloan in his youth! An absolutely essential interview, and one of the more revealing interviews you'll hear with Chris Murphy. That's a City Slang promise™
