This is a recording of us playing a Santonied out version of Undone-The Sweater Song with Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo on NPR's Sound Opinions ten minutes after we met him, Feb 2010. With Kaylee Preston on drums.

why? how? the Sound Opinions website explains:
"During our feature segment Jim and Greg are joined by Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo. However, it’s not Weezer that accompanies him. It’s the Chicago rock band The Cathy Santonies. Before visiting the studio, Rivers asked Jim and Greg to choose his songs and choose his backing band. Then after a brief sound check, they launched in completely unrehearsed."
