This Week on the Lovers

Design: Sasha Barr
(click image for larger picture)

In honor of WEVL's Spring Pledge Drive, I will be playing some of my favorite songs from 2006 (all 3 and 1/2 months of it!). Our goal is to reach $62,000 by 6pm this Saturday, and every pledge counts! So if you enjoy listening to the Lovers, please make a pledge to show your support.

Thank You
Hayden

(BTW, the great-looking WEVL shirt at the top of the post can be yours for a pledge of $60 or more.)
