Show Notes
In this emergency episode of Sloancast, we set the time machine for February 4th, 2000 and the filming of a live performance of the entire Between the Bridges album in front of a select group of 40 fans—the result of which will eventually spawn the "Friendship" music video. Prior to the release of the footage on Side Door on this February 4th, we chat with superfan Laura (Q) Mayo, who attended the original show, and talk to Rob about his own run-in with the concert footage.

We address a rather conspicuous gap in our coverage of the Sloan discography, tackling all 13 minutes of 2009's punchy Hit & Run EP (plus bonus track). As Sloan's first true (at least at the time) digital-only release, Hit & Run not only signalled a shift in the band's commercialization approach, but also served as the glue between mid-era and contemporary sounds.
It's finally (almost) here! Sloan's 14th studio album, Based on the Based Seller, is a 12-track romp through both modern stylings and blasts from the past. On this latest episode of Sloancast, we give you an exclusive look into the tracklist and run down each song. Look forward to a true Sloan fan's Sloan album, set for official release on September 26th!
We're back with new content! On this episode, Sloan inner circle member and music industry professional Linda Noelle Bush joins us to walk us through her time touring with the band, and particularly about Sloan's tours of Japan in support of Navy Blues and Between the Bridges.
A/S/L? On this episode, we fall deep into the phenomenon that was 90s web superfandom with the one and only Alan Wong, alias SquirrelAl—webmaster of the legendary Sloan Hut. We wax nostalgic about Sloan Chat meetups, Pictures of the Week and forum escapades, as well as about friendships forged on the information superhighway that stand the test of time. To all Gen Zs and Alphas out there: you kinda had to be there.
