114: Sunday Brunch

Hello there, brunchers. This fine, fine episode includes one of my favorite Yo La Tengo songs, about which the A.V. Club said is YLT at “its epic best” and Paste Magazine said “almost sums up a 30 year career in just under 10 minutes”. Plus we’ve got tunes from World Party, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, The Flaming Lips, Blur, The Bats, The Human Switchboard, X, Mercury Rev, The Saints, The Fleshtones, The Frogs, The Dukes Of Stratosphear, Cocteau Twins, Zero Boys, The Dream Syndicate, Mary Lou Lord, Pavement, The Undertones, and much more.
