175: Sunday Brunch

We asked you one simple question: If you were going to make a mix for someone you just met to show him or her what kind of music you were in to during college, what song would lead it off? This all-request episode of Sunday Brunch provides the answers. To no surprise, there are some college-rock staples on here, like Throwing Muses, Yo La Tengo, Devo, Beck, Soul Asylum, Descendents, The English Beat, and The Flaming Lips. You guys also doubled-down on The Replacements (pictured), Guided By Voices, R.E.M., X, and Hüsker Dü. While some of you obviously spent your college days dressed in black, others were punk as fuck. Oddly enough, no one volunteered the Pixies or The Smiths. Go figure! This is a fun mix — dig in!
