May 09, 2010: The Strombo Show Playlist (& G12 Count Down)

The Strombo Show Playlist [ Mostly complete?! ]
and G12 Count Down [ Updated/Complete ]: May 09, 2010


[ UPDATE: May 13; 2010; ~2:00-ish AM! Looks like I have most of the playlist up now.. I may have missed 1 or 2 tracks here & there (which I noted in that spot), but it's pretty darn close. ]

The G12 Countdown is for sure confirmed and of course there are George's motorcycle videos!

I've now moved all the motorcycle race stuff to it's own post here: George's First Motorcycle Race! In order to make room for all the playlist stuff I've added.

I was able to tag or note *MOST* of the tracks while listening to the show 2x on Sunday, May 9th. Since I was hosting the chat session as well, I may have missed a few as I was distracted, but as I said above, there is as full/complete a list as I have done below!

Starting in this post (and I'll back-track in time to the other posts in time), all tracks played on the show are in:
Blue and Bold!
So they are easy to view/find/read on the page with all the other notes. Hope that helps!


Any Errors and/or Omissions are totally my fault!
IF.. you have any corrections or info that I'm missing, please comment or ping me & I'll update the blog list!
Thanks. Enjoy.

Feedback, comments, notes, etc are ALWAYS welcome!


And please note.. the G12 Count Down is now up on The Strombo Show Website! What did I say.. by mid-week-ish.. Yah. You heard it here ;)

we all really, REALLY like the #10 countdown track intro w/The Count!

G12 - #12: The Hold Steady - The Sweet Part of the City


[ NOTE: I'll have a chance hopefully tomorrow sometime to have a listen to the missing tracks to get the correct info up. Right now.. I just managed to do a bit of this update in the commercial breaks while watching the Habs hockey game tonight & trying to find something to make my head stop hurting! ]


[ UPDATE May 12, 2010; ~12:11am: Thanks to @kelgura for some posts on Twitter to help me with a few of the G12 tracks I was still confirming and for letting me know that Exclaim.ca had the D/L of "The Flatliners - Carry The Banner".

Seems I had everything except "The Flatliners - Carry The Banner" & I was in the process of listening to their mySpace page (link above) to track it down.

As well.. it looks like the full G12 is now up on The Strombo Show Website, so I confirmed there as well for accuracy! (I'm guessing thanks to Darby for that update are in order. All Hail King Darby! ;) ]

The Strombo Show Playlist: May 09, 2010 (Highlights & Excerpts)

~ The rest of it should be relatively complete below! I kept this section in for more of the comments, etc.

With the following tidbits..

~ Bob Mackowycz's Mother's Day picks, sorta...
[ (A Sad-off... that I think I totally missed somehow.. both times?!
I actually don't think they did it... but they talked about. I'm confused here.) ]

And some Mother's Day picks for both Bob's mom, and his wife Sandra who became a new mom this year with their new baby girl, or I think the song was actually for his daughter.. as she likes it.

[ If you missed the actual show, I'll explain later why the next 3-4 songs were played. ]

Prince - Bat Dance
Pulp - This Is Hardcore
Busta Rhymes - Woo-Hah!! Got You All In Check [ Acappella ver. I think ]

Great Lake Swimmers - Pulling On A Line

~ Ten O'Clock with Tom: Tom Waits - Soldier's Things

~ George's Mom: George calls his Mom to wish her Happy Mother's Day and to get a request from her (very funny actually).
He plays: Jim Reeves - Four Walls .. for her.. [ but she first asked him to play "Kate Smith - God Bless America" and he laughed.. A LOT and refused! Funniest thing of the evening.. in my opinion... ]

~ Rich's Picks: for an interesting Sunday night historical journey into New York City, 1987 rap, etc
[ FYI. In case you are listening to the show once it is posted up & you have younger kids around.. It was just @oldschoolgirl (Sarah) & StromboShowChat Collective team in the chat.. and we were just wondering.. if anyone on CBCRadio2 has said 'blowjob' before? Just curious. LMAO! };> ]

[ If I recall correctly, this was just an audible they called before Rich's picks. In reference to NYC... ]
The Ramones - 53rd & 3rd

PJ Harvey - The Garden
Cash Money & Marvellous - Ugly People Be Quiet [ Ok, I'm pretty sure this is the right song. I just don't remember G & Rich saying the name, but do I recall the Tears For Fears sample @ the start! ]

[ So they'd call an audible and played this "classic": ]
Tears For Fears - Head Over Heels

[ And this next song, was a song Rich wanted to always hear/request on the radio. ]
Joy Division - She Lost Control

~ An educational, historical, & awesome "Album Side": Soul Rebels - Bob Marley & The Wailers



[ Soul Rebels is an album by The Wailers, their first album to be released outside of Jamaica. Plenty more information over at the Wikipedia on Soul Rebel. ]

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Soul Rebel
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Try Me
Bob Marley & The Wailers - It's Alright **
[ ** It was later re-recorded and retitled "Night Shift" for Rastaman Vibration. ]
Bob Marley & The Wailers - No Sympathy
[ (Also credited to/with Peter Tosh) ]
Bob Marley & The Wailers - My Cup
[ (Also credited to/with Bob Marley/Lee "Scratch" Perry) ]
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Soul Almighty

~ A lovely "Big-Lie Down" with a request for a regular listener of the Strombo Show (Alex), a regular visitor to the tapings of The Hour.. and of course a regular participant in this Strombo Show Chat (altho she was traveling w/her family on Sunday night listening in the car, so couldn't join us on-line in the chat session on Sunday night).

As far I can recall.. we went straight from the "Album Side" into the "Big-Lie Down".

Here are the last 3 tracks of the evening/show!
From the "Big-Lie Down" segment of the show:

Iron & Wine - Upward Over The Mountain
[ As mentioned in the: Upward Over The Mountain ~ A Sneaky Peek At May 9, 2010 Strombo Show post. ]
Spiritualized - Cool Waves
Cat Powers - Woman Left Lonely
