Kid Koala's Montréal



Montréal turntable king Eric San (a.k.a. Kid Koala) gives us a personalized tour of his hometown. When he's not producing graphic novels, making records out of records, or tearing up the turntables live, he's a man on the streets–running into friends, getting shout outs from fans, and waxing poetic about the chewy and beautiful Mile End bagel.
