Something To Be Thankful For

We at WRMC hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving.

If you didn't, perhaps you will look back on it more fondly when you realize that the Roots and the Dirty Projectors performed together last week at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. That's double the drum kits (technically triple when considering the fact that Quest Love manned one) and double the bass + the voices of a choir of Angels.

Collaborations like these make our weeks.
