LITTLE STEVEN AND FUNERAL SONGS......

Legendary member of the E-Street Band, Little Steven Van Vandt, visits to talk about his solo work, politics and remembering Clarence Clemons. We discuss funeral music - the ultimate last sentiment and how much a single song can say. And of course, we run down the best new music in the Magnificent 7 Countdown with offerings from Mark Lenegan, IslandsSkrillex and The Kills' covering a classic Velvet Underground tune.

THE STROMBO SHOW

February 5, 2012 Super Bowl and side men. Our trusted collaborators, George and Bob Mackowycz Jr. nod to the great sidemen of all time, the understated contributors to great bands and those who compliment the greats in music.

To celebrate Sunday's Super Bowl XLVI, Darby is bringing in some anti-jock sport jams - scrapping the Gary Glitter, House of Pain and Queen by subbing in the Bob Dylan, Dennis Alcapone and Tragically Hip. This week's Magnificent 7 Countdown features a brand new track from M.I.A., some Yukon Blonde and Jack White's first solo effort. So turn down the commentary and let us provide the game's soundtrack.
