Labor of Love

Hear this show now: Pop-up player!

Rob Weisberg and Katie Gentile (Rob's sidekick, and violinist in the band Special Pillow) play "radio ping-pong", alternating tracks: Katie went first, with Tommy Keene, then Rob played Mundo Livre SA, then Katie with New Christs, and so on.

This was the fourth annual installment of Labor of Love - and still no fisticuffs! Although there's a fair bit of aggression in the music: This year - for the most part - we really rock out.
