Rob fulfills the stationwide 7" imperative by playing 45 rpm bilingual (English / Español) radio ping-pong with his sidekick Katie Gentile. Katie is now an academic, author, and violinist for indie psyche-pop band The Special Pillow. But her bountiful vintage indie rock 7" collection was gathered primarily during her youthful years in the indie-rock label biz and at the great college freeform station WCBN (from whence, not too coincidentally, Rob also sprouted).

The spelling of this title is a little unclear: This pressing of the single by Frankie Dante and his politically charged band is labeled "Venceremos" but the song is listed elsewhere as "Venceramos" - and on this archival video clip
shot at the Central Park bandshell in 1972 you can hear the song introduced as "Venceramos."
