On this rare Riley-less episode Dan is joined by Michael Barclay, Arlen Thompson and Tim Kingsbury to discuss Michaels new book on the rise (and rise!) of Canadian Indie Rock 2000-2006. Why do these bands have so many members? Did Fugazi brain poison a generation into self sabotage? Are the rents too damn high to facilitate another scene? All this and more as we survey The Half Decade When Canada Was Cool*
