Two weeks ago, I did the closest thing to recognizing the quadrennial Olympiad on the show: playing songs as loosely associated with sport as USA Today is with journalism. See if you "get" how each song fits! It's like a game! The Rah Rah song "Arrows" is pretty straightforward, as Archery is an Olympic sport, but there might be a few stumpers. Here's the playlist:
Silkken Laumann - "On The Mend"
Tokyo Police Club - "Breakneck Speed" (Andy Rourke Remix)
Vampire Weekend - "Run"
Echo Lake - "Swimmers"
Patrick Watson - "Swimming Pools"
Real Estate - "Pool Swimmers"
Rah Rah - "Arrows"
Bidiniband - "Big Men Go Fast On The Water"
Hollerado - "What's Everybody Running For (Part II)"
Austra - "Darken Her Horse"
Zulu Winter - "We Should Be Swimming"
The Ruby Suns - "Olympics On Pot"
Fuck Buttons - "Olympians"
Broken Social Scene - "Meet Me In The Basement"
Miike Snow - "Paddling Out"
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - "Bicycle"
Giorgio Moroder Project - "To Be Number One"
Wolf Parade - "You Are A Runner And I Am My Father's Son"
Winter Gloves - "Jump"
The Super Friendz - "Karate Man"
The Meters - "Funky Miracle"
Javelin - "Doug Flutey"
Kurt Vile - "Runner Ups"
- this week's Slice of Cheese
