Denis Leary has stated that because of the writer's strike they would have had to make a very short season 5 in the time alotted, probably no more than 6 episodes.
The alternate choice was to make an extra-long fifth season (22 episodes). The catch was they would have to wait until 2009 before they could start airing, and the first episode was aired on FX on Wednesday, April 8th, 2009.
To help keep people entertained for 2008, the cast and crew created "mini-sodes" (5-8 minute skits) released once a week online.

As far as I can tell, this is as complete a list as there is of all the songs used in the show...to avoid spoilers I won't put where any of them are, they're all worth getting regardless. The first 14 are from the official Rescue Me soundtrack, and these are up to date as of episode 3 of season 4. These aren't in order, but at least now you know where to look.
1. C'mon C'mon-The Von Bondies (Rescue Me title song)
2. Devil-Stereophonics
3. I'll Be Your Man-The Black Keys
4. Bonnie Brae-The Twilight Singers
5. All The Wild Horses-Ray LaMontagne
6. Shine A Light-Wolf Parade
7. Karaoke Soul-Tom McRae
8. Love Is Blindness-The Devlins feat. Sharon Corrs
