CITY SLANG

A Mini Slang episode that got lost in the archive is resurrected! You might remember the amazing video for Tough Age's "Me in Glue" from a few months ago. Well, we loved it and got in touch with director Heather Rappard to discuss the video, her video for Old and Weird (a City Slang fave), and the time the only way out of making a bad video was to make an even shittier music video! It's a classic tale of directing.

Steve runs us through the re-issue process, the state of selling records in 2019, and what happens when you call out of the blue to ask someone about the music they recorded 20 years ago and forgot about. Sometimes they pitch you on paper records!
