Twelfth edition of an annual holiday tradition: Rob Weisberg and Katie Gentile (Rob's longtime sidekick, academic, author, open-water swimmer and violinist in the band The Special Pillow and formerly The Mad Scene and Run On) play "radio ping-pong", alternating tracks. Rob bounces rock-tinged world music off Katie's classic indie rock.

Zats....I must go outside for a little exercise. Will you be playing any Kyrgyz sounds tonight, Rob & Katie?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:09pm ! I X Key !:

I hope there will be Kyrgyz sounds
Avatar 6:11pm Fredericks:

Love sounds wonderful.
  6:15pm julian:

ha ha! talk about unrecognisable covers! cool!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:17pm Rob & Katie:

Good evening everyone! Er... decent chance of Kazakh but not sure about Kyrgyz tonight...
Avatar 6:38pm doca:

hello rob, it's been a while i was listening to your show from the archives, i'm glad to be able to listen to it live.
and hello katie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:40pm Ike:

Hi from Maryland! I ate Kyrgyz food recently here: www.eatingintranslation.com...
Good stuff. It was similar to Uzbek.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Comcast was out here - presumably due to weather
- so esp. delightful to be here now, starting w/ this great 'Turtle' track...

Kyrgyzstan.. a spelling you could never guess
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:53pm Ike:

RRN63,
in the lost depths of Maryland
Comcast, the evil ones, lurk,
relishing their sinister monopoly,
cackling, their tentacles
clutching vast coins they have sucked
FROM THE PEOPLE
Oh, Comcrap,
how I'd rather gnaw bricks,
breaking all my teeth, slowly,
than ever move back somewhere
that YOU have a monopoly.
I AM FREE!
And my parents stick to the lamest DSL
in the universe
just to avoid thee,
oh, Comcrap.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- well - they usually keep me well-connected
...& their service people on the phone in India are exemplary
- but tech-savvy people tell me paying for Internet in the 1st place is a bit of a scam...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:05pm Ike:

I enjoy the co. of many Indians, and love their food, but often dislike talking to them on the phone. You can say lots of terrible things about Cablevision (Optimum), the NJ-dominant cabler, which I've had in the past -- but interestingly, they have real Noo Yawk accents, none of this impenetrably-accented India stuff. I think their call center must be on Lawn Guyland or Yonkers or some other richly-accented place. Of course, if an Indian in India had to talk to a call center full of NYers, they might say much the same thing. And perhaps will, 100 years from now.
  7:05pm Marmalade Kitty:

I have a wonderful recording of a beautiful Greek singer, lute player I must send to you..
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:07pm Rob Weisberg:

Oh gee thanks Marmalade Kitty, I would love to hear that!
  7:12pm Marmalade Kitty:

Her name is, Maria Kai Filoi. (oops, my translation of the greek alphabet isn't the greatest)
  7:13pm SM Ken:

Loving the Ruta, Rob. Listening lakeside.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...out - & back again !...
- another rich & beautiful show...
  8:02pm Steve-O:

Hey, I remember this band! They played on Terre's June 30, 2000 show(got it on a RealPlayer file). =)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:05pm Rob Weisberg:

Yep, Look Blue Go Purple is a fine New Zealand band...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...& again !...pretty big rainstorm here
...some TpSP is much better than none !...
Avatar 8:29pm Jeezy:

I was confused to hear what was happening on Trans SP whilst in my car but NOW I understand... AMAZING show!

Mr. Krinsky played a little Tuareg this morning filling in for Jeffrey Davidson - btw.

Thanks very much RR for the link to Deveykus on Dan's show.
Avatar 8:57pm Pete from Boston (and NJ):

The Neats remind me of the Bevis Frond.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:58pm Rob & Katie:

The Neats were indeed a (great) Boston Band. Hey, thanks everyone for listening, have a great holiday (if you're somewhere where there's a holiday - !)
Avatar 9:00pm Pete from Boston (and NJ):

Listening from up the street from WMFO!
  9:00pm julian:

Avatar 🌍 Swag For Life Member 9:00pm Ken From Hyde Park:
