[ UPDATE: Sept 21, 2010; 2:23am:
G12 Count Down's status is still the same.. up, with a few missing tracks.
But.. the Polaris Music Prize Playlist from Sunday night's show is up.. no interview summary or deets yet, but we wanted to get the songs up while we could still type... barely. ]
HERE WE GO...
We were able to tag or note *MOST* of the tracks while listening to the show on Sunday, Sept 19, 2010.
We did listen 2x, but the chat was busy, busy in AST/EST timezones and it was a hectic night w/our first real chat back in ~2 months.. and we are still missing about 7-8 of our regulars.. but had ~7-8 people hanging out chatting about the show!
We managed to record most of the songs in the PST timezone listen.. as the chat was really quiet then. So there will be as full & a complete list as we can rustle it up.. as in.. as soon as we can get it finished in the next couple days!
G12 Count Down is up & as close to complete as we could manage. The full playlist is still to come!
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! Feedback welcome!
Any Errors and/or Omissions are totally my fault!
IF.. you have any corrections or info that we're missing, please leave a comment on the blog (below), or ping me & we'll update the blog list!
Thanks. Enjoy.
[ AND.. as always.. Feedback, comments, notes, etc are ALWAYS welcome!
[ Also, we keep evolving this layout each week (but working on a template/regular format to stick with & make life easier & to get the playlist up sooner!)..
So if you have any suggestions/ideas, please let us know by commenting somewhere on the blog. ]
The G12 is.. 12-1 like it is on the show (and in the full playlist) so it in the proper order of things. So far.. no one has complained, so we're going with it.

G12 Count Down ~ Sept 19, 2010
[ My NOTEs in italics AND square [ ] brackets (usually) ]
[ UPDATE (Sept 20, 2010): As mentioned above confirmation of the G12 is pending!
We put a "?" question mark in front of the G12 until we confirm those tracks.
Last time we saw a G12 was the June 6th, 2010 show.. We believe.. So we put those as the "last weeks" G12 list and the prior week (May 30, 2010) as well.. since it was there and it has been THAT long! ]
[ Thanks to @wildworks, @ragzey_z, @Huskermould, @Barb_Wheeler.. and a few others we've missed b/c it's early in the AM.. (Sorry.. we'll complete the list later!) They were hanging out in the Skype chat on Sunday night at various times & helped me in catching the songs, band names & info! You guys & gals rock! ]
[ START of the G12 ]
?G12 - #12: Pulled Apart By Horses - High Five, Swan Dive, Nose Dive
Last week (June 6th, 2010) #12: Zeus - At The Risk Of Repeating
Prior week (May 30, 2010) #12: Kings Go Forth - I Don't Love You No More
[ What the wikipedia has to say about Pulled Apart By Horses.
First off they are an English band... Which is almost always a receipe for awesome right there..
But here is the Pulled Apart By Horses mySpace page.. so you can have a listen to some other tracks & decide for yourself! Sadly it appears they are only snippets of the songs so you don't get the full experience :( ]
?G12 - #11: M.I.A. - It Takes A Muscle
Last week (June 6th, 2010) #11: Club 8 - Western Hospitality
Prior week (May 30, 2010) #11: Voyager One – 1,000 Miles, 1,000 Deaths
[ Wow. You should have heard/see/read the total up-roar in
The Strombo Show Chat Skype "chat-room" once we all realized that we in the midst of the G12 and the jingles that intro each G12 song were missing in action! Aside from 1 vote not liking them.. everyone else was pretty sad :(((
As well.. you can't tell what song is what.. AND it adds something so VERY unique to the show.. that NO other countdowns do!
It's one of the reasons we personally *LOVE* the show.. it's about more than music, it's snippets of culture.. (from our "vintage" if we may borrow that phrase from George)
#BringBackTheCount! I/We ♥ it! ]
?G12 - #10: Homeboy Sandman - The Carpenter*
Last week (June 6th, 2010) #10: Gabriel Mintz - Desert Sky
Prior week (May 30, 2010) #10: Ten Bears - Braces
[ * we didn't personally catch the name/track here at all.. So we're not 100% we have the correct track. Thanks to @huskermould tho for help with this one.
And.. can't say we actually know really what AutoTune is (but that appears to be a good thing to be ignorant of from what we keep hearing..) We're pretty sure we haven't listened to any songs made/that use it.. that we are presently aware of.. ]
?G12 - #9: G9: Arcade Fire - Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
Last week (June 6th, 2010) #9: Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Prior week (May 30, 2010) #9: Band of Horses - Dilly
[ This is a new-ish "Arcade Fire" song... more deets to come..
We just can't recall anything else right now. ]
?G12 - #8: G8: Brendan Flowers - Only The Young
Last week (June 6th, 2010) #8: Drake (Feat. Lil' Wayne) - Miss Me
Prior week (May 30, 2010) #8: Broken Social Scene - Texaco Bitches
[ This is off the solo album by Brendan Flowers lead singer of The Killers. Sounds like it could be a Killer's song for sure to me!
Interesting Personal Note: The Killers were the band that helped one of our collective find "indie" music again in way..
"I remember listening to to the radio one fine day in the summer o'2004 as I was driving up the #2 Highway in Alberta.. heading from Edmonton to Calgary (a drive I used to make ~1x/month when I lived there).. and "Mr. Brightside" came on the radio.. and it blew my mind!
I wasn't sure what it was.. but as a dancer it spoke to me so deeply. And I also sat there convinced that it was some 80's-90's alternative band that I somehow just missed knowing about back then. I hadn't bought a CD in ages, but I promotely found the 1st record store I could (in my old stomping grounds in Calgary and picked up HOT FUSS (Wikipedia Link) so freaking fast your head would spin..
And years later when I moved to Vancouver & first learnt to spin fire.. it was one of their songs.. "Human" that was the first song that really allowed me to understand what I loved about fire spinning so much!
I *heart* The Killers.. Human! ]
[ Still in the middle o'G12 here: ]
?G12 - #7: Kings Of Leon - Radioactive

Last week (June 6th, 2010) #7: Megafaun - Volunteers
Prior week (May 30, 2010) #7: Zeus – (The) Renegade
[ New Album.. oh the pressure as G said! ]
?G12 - #6: Tokyo Police Club - Boots Of Danger (Wait Up)
Last week (June 6th, 2010) #6: Ten Bears - Braces
Prior week (May 30, 2010) #6: Gord Downie - The Hard Canadian
[ So.. IN case you've been under a rock for ~the last month or so.. you'll have heard that the show formally know as The Hour has transformed into George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight.
And yes.. George mentioned all the jokes here.
Well the obvious ones.. Haha.. GST.. HST.. etc. (Nice. More on this later..) we got the sense that he would prefer people call it GS Tonight for short. We're torn.. it's not an hour anymore.. but it's going to take some time for these long time fans to adjust here to not calling it The Hour.
We personally thinking they should have gone w/Strombo Tonight (TV) to match/pair up with The Strombo Show (radio)... that would have been better branding IMHO. But then again.. no one asked us.
More details to come.. but for now..
New ways on *How to contact G*!
(Hint look for the "white".. we know.. WTF?!)
New Website.. http://www.cbc.ca/strombo
The old Strombo Show Website Strombo.com re-directs to there now. With a new streamlined look.. it integrates:
1. The (old) Hour site into the new
George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight,
2. The (old) Strombo Show site into well.. still The Strombo Show
3. (along with The Hour..) I mean..,
George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight's YouTube Channel (last we checked it still said The Hour on there ;),
4. High-lites from G's Twitter feed, other Social Media links (Facebook only for now), & other goodies to come..
AND.. we have a gut instinct they are working on an iPhone/iPad/other mobile phone app? Maybe..
Now.. we don't know this for sure, BUT.. if anyone asks..
You heard/read it here FIRST!
(But we hope they keep the content on the old Strombo Show Facebook page somehow ~link to come to refresh your memories)..
SO MUCH GOOD INFO there!)

[ Return to the Table of Contents. ]
[ Bunch of other songs here.. including:
Bob picks Road Songs.. w/George to make their Ultimate Road Mix-tape..
~Criteria.. 5 categories...
1. Songs that make you speed/(songs that keep you awake/caffeine for your ears)
2. Songs that make you sing out loud regardless of whom is in the car w/you..
3. Songs that are "arm out the window".. banging.. (not that kinda banging ;) funk-mobile style
4. Songs that make you think of your ex.. (uh oh.. this outta be interesting)
5. Songs that represent "the wild card".. and explore, or inspire you to learn on the journey o'life!
G suggested.. a #6: songs that keep you awake & Bob merged that in w/songs that make you speed...
Caffeine for your ears! ]

The Earl Greyhound Website and Earl Greyhound mySpace
Ghost And The Witness was up on their mySpace when last checked.. June 6, 2010.. if you want to have a listen again. Love that guitar.
If you sign up for their mailing list, you get a FREE song. We did it. And apparently you can also get another song if you follow them on Twitter: @earlgreyhound. Which we still have to do, we think.
And another FREE track download is available we've heard.. if you follow them on Facebook (we'll find that one later if you don't first..). ]

And over at Stereogum.com there is this "article": Neon Indian – "Sleep Paralysist". Wow. Is he cute or what!?! Was the female collective consensus.]
[ END of the G12 ]
[ NOTE: That's the best we've got ATM on the missing tracks. Please comment if you have anything we've missed! TIA.
We'll have a chance hopefully sometime in the next few days to have a go @ figuring out the missing tracks to get the rest of the correct info up.
Unless "The mother ship".. we mean..
The *NEW* Integrated Strombo Website has posted the full playlist, so we can confirmed what we are missing from them
(only ~3-4 songs from the G12 list actually... so not too bad, if we might say so)! ]

[ Ten o'Clock (I mean 9:37pm) w/Tom:
Tom Waits - Tom Traubert's Blues (Four Sheets To The Wind In Copenhagen)
Well.. Sigh.. that was so nice.. ok.. We've possibly recovered from Beyonce finally now..
We'll explain later if you missed that part of the show. We *wish* we were joking here. But Beyonce WAS played on the Strombo Show. More on that later.. in the Highlights & Excerpts section to come, as we have LOTS to say on this.. lots o'interesting stuff ;)
Anyway.. back to Ten o'Clock w/Tom.
Some notes from the chat.. Someone mentioned that their MOM LOVES TOM since listening to him on the Strombo Show & had to buy two CDS for her of Tom songs! How awesome is that!? ]
