What's up with Strombo this week

The Strombo Show

September 25/2011

Simple songs is the inspiration for this Sunday's Strombo Show, as Bob Mackowycz visits. Alex 'The Can Con Dawn" Narveaz drops by to play some solid Canadian Hip Hop and beyond.

Our Blend Mini Mix is from Jordan Mandel from London, Ontario who was allowed to sample Marshall McLuhan speeches over his composed music.

 
The Magnificent Seven Countdown is stacked with great new music, we pay tribute to Bands that have called it quits, 10 with Tom Waits, and Nod to the God of Drummers.

Tune in to, or listen online to, CBC Radio 2 from 8-11 pm and you can follow along with George @Strombo and more can be found at www.Strombo.com
