Hair we go! CBC Radio 2 Morning Host Bob Mackowycz will be coming in to talk about his love of all things hair metal (actually George's love of hair metal). Our node to the Gods feature a 60's band who went weird in the 80's.  Our favourite Scot, Calum Shanlin drops in and play some music of New Zealand and talk about their loss of an icon this week. And as always the Magnificent 7 countdown is a diverse as ever with the best new music of the week.

The Strombo Show

Sunday June 5 2011  8pm - 11pm

We celebrate the beginning of June with a visit from comedian Russell Peters.  A major music fan we are excited to get inside Russell's musical mind.  Also our favourite Scot, Calum Shanlin drops in and we celebrate the music of Mexico.  

The Magnificent 7 countdown is top notch with some new music from huge bands, and well as some young upstarts. This week show has a thread of the 1970's music and our Blend mini mix celebrates this with a Yacht Rock Mix (think Michael McDonald, Christopher Cross and Hall and Oates).
