May 02, 2010: The Strombo Show Playlist (& G12 Count Down)

The Strombo Show Playlist (Partial) & G12 Count Down:
May 02, 2010


I was able to tag some of the tracks while listening to the show 2x on Sunday, May 2nd.

But since I was hosting the chat session as well, I missed tagging a few as I was distracted & also a number don't render themselves to be "Shazam'd", as they are too new. Which, in a way is good.. as we listen to the Strombo Show for new music!

I'll put up the full/complete list as soon as I can, or get one.

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.

The partial playlist is below after the G12 Count Down, which is complete as it was taken from
The Strombo Show Website:


G12 Count Down
[ My NOTEs in italics ]

#1 Band Of Horses - Laredo
[ NOTE:
Band Of Horses – "Laredo" Free Download at Stereogum.com:
http://stereogum.com/339742/band-of-horses-laredo/mp3s ]

#2 Damian Marley & NAS - As We Enter


[ I haven't been able to embed it here for some reason.. working on that.. but here's The Official YouTube Video for:
Damian Marley and NAS - As We Enter.

(Personally.. I like the song w/out the video, but it really makes me want to spin fire in a massive way.. that's some dirty, sexy, hot, nasty, awesome music! };> ) ]

#3 Gord Downie - The East Wind
#4 Circle Research - Rock Creek Park

#5 M.I.A. - Born Free
[ NOTE: I've included the link for the new "M.I.A. - Born Free" video below... if you can watch it!

The video is highly NSFW (NOT SAFE FOR WORK) & should come with a fairly strong content *WARNING* as it would be considered extremely violent.

I believe this is MIA's Website?! Not sure as the video starts playing in full screen as soon as the page loads & then loops in right away again. NOT ideal (kinda bad website etiquette actually), but you should be able to scroll down & pause it if you need to before anything nasty comes up.

This is the Official MIA Bornfree Video: http://www.miauk.com
I think there are other versions floating around out there. I didn't hunt them all down. ]

#6 Crystal Castles - Celestica
#7 Morning Benders - Excuses

[ The Morning Benders made a: video for "Promises", (located on the Stereogum's website).
"Promises" was a former Morning Benders song on the G12 Count Down which was bumped off by the new one here.
And I'm searching for a free download link I thought I had for "Excuses"... if you know of it. Let me know! ]

#8 Dead Weather - Gasoline
#9 Darwin Deez - D.N.A.
#10 Yeasayer - O.N.E.
#11 Regina Spektor - No Surprises
#12 Tokyo Police Club - Breakneck Speed

G12 - #11: Regina Spektor - No Surprises

Sad-off Pick #2: Avett Brothers - I And Love And You

Janelle Monae (feat. Big Boi) - Tightrope

[ Rich Terfry was away this week, but his wife Emily (whose previous picks were VERY well rec'd) was here to share 3 of her selections with us.

She started off with a song that was her & Rich's wedding song:
"I Only Have Eyes For You by The Flamingos". Lovely.
Just like she seems! We like Emily's song's... she's cool. ]

Emily Pick #2: Serge Gainsbourg - Chanson Du Forcat (Initials B.b.; Vol 4: 1966-1967-1968)

[ 10 O'clock with Tom Waits: ]
Tom Waits - Jesus Gonna Be Here

Dead Boys - Ain't It Fun

[ Fan request for the Pumpkins.. ]

[ NOTE: MGMT Segment of the show:
Includes George interviewing them a bit, some tracks from MGMT's new release & they also take over for a bit & make some requests..

[ NOTE: The Album Side:
It was a unique one tonight.
A compilation put together by David Byrne & Fatboy Slim featuring ~22 other artists & it was an Imelda Marcos Tribute Album! Interesting.

It's titled "Here Lies Love" and here is the Wikipedia information for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Lies_Love.
Based on the track listing... we heard Side 1. ]

David Byrne & Fatboy Slim (Feat. Florence Welch) - Here Lies Love

Martha Wainwright - The Rose Of Tacloban


[ I think the "Big-Lie Down" started here approx. here: ]

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & The Cairo Gang - Merciless And Great
Jeff Buckley - Lost Highway

[ End of the partial Playlist (as I know it..) ]


Also to come.. probably about 1x/week/~2 weeks (depending on my time commitments), I'll post one of the old Strombo Show playlists I have going back to ~May last year.. 2009 (or earlier if I can find them). So hopefully one old & one new playlist will make it up here on a semi-weekly, if not monthly basis.. (as I also have chat summaries to get up still. Eek).

Check the archives for those older playlists, as I will "post-date" them to the day after the original show "airing" date.


Thanks for your patience all.

As George says "#RecordsForRecordLovers!"


Yours in musical awesome-ness,
~(now former) StromboShowChat Collective

April 11, 2010: The Strombo Show Playlist (& G12 Count Down)

Since I mentioned prior that people were having problems viewing things on the updated Strombo.com website ... since it is in Flash...

I'll be putting up the last couple playlists (& G12 Count Down lists) on here. If it seem like a popular thing to have up here too, I'll keep it up.

I also have playlists dating back into last year, etc and possibly older, so over time I will hunt those down, chat with some of the long time listeners of the show & get their lists and put those older ones up here for people to go back through the various playlists for the show!
