"You f--- the world damn straight malaise. It may be just us who feel this way."
The Strombo Show will be running the gamut this Sunday night, keeping the spirit of radio alive by delivering the best records in the best order. It's a show for music lovers by music lovers, ranging over three hours of commercial-free music to honour both old and new.
George Stroumboulopoulos will be joined by celebrated singer-songwriter Joshua Tillman (Father John Misty) for an acoustic performance and intimate interview in the House of Strombo.
Celebrating his sophomore album, 'I Love You, Honeybear', which balances narcissistic head-banging with honest revelations of deep love, Tillman sits down to explore his manic madman approach.
He'll explore the album concept, his evangelical upbringing, protosexual relationships with cartoon and acoustically covers Leonard Cohen's 'Bird on the Wire'.
Also - we'll debut a song from our good friend Hayden Desser's upcoming eighth studio album, Hey Love and we'll spin some submissions from CBC Music's Searchlight competition.
As always, we'll be tipping our hats to those ground-breakers and game-changers with a Nod to the Gods, spinning the best new tracks, paying tribute to Tom Waits on Ten with Tom and we'll send you into the horizontal with the Big Lie Down.
Lock it. Crank it. Join the collective!
For further musical exploration with George Stroumboulopoulos, tune in to The Strombo Show every Sunday night on CBC Radio 2 or CBC Music from 8 to 11 p.m. for three hours of uninterrupted music for music lovers.
