THE STROMBO SHOW
January 29,2012

We visit the past, present and future of music tonight. With The Magnificent 7, we rifle through the best of today's music from the Darcys' reinterpretation of Steely Dan's classic 'Aja' to Plants and Animals latest. George talks to Alan Cross - the voice of the History of New Music, about his perception of the music industry and the direction that its going. We celebrate the flower child generation by tripping on a psychedelic musical journey into the sounds of the Hippie-Era before getting horizontal in the Blues Big Lie down.

As a response to our Band of Brothers, we run through some more sibling collaborations in our Sister Act - with offering ranging from Tegan and Sara to All Saints to Pointer Sisters. And as always, we deliver some great new music on the Magnificent Seven and Bob Mackowycz Jr. provides the perfect sound track for travelling. Also, Michael Franti talks about his desert island album choice and Canadian darling Kathleen Edwards shares her favourite Tom Waits track before we drop into a mellow hip-hop lie down.
The Spirit of Radio is alive and well.
