Welcome to the many new listeners who have followed me of late. Most Sundays, we do a little brunchin’ like so: I spin a couple hours of music, skipping around from new wave to indie rock, from Brit pop to punk rock, all from the late ’70s, ’80s, and early ’90s. It’s a bit of a free-form ode to college radio. On this week’s Sunday Brunch episode, we’ll begin with Matthew Sweet and close out with The Clean (pictured), both of whom have a little something to say about getting older. We’ll also hear from Camper Van Beethoven, The Sound, Tom Tom Club, The House of Love, Siouxsie, The Lemonheads, Wreckless Eric, The Auteurs, The Mighty Lemon Drops, The Replacements, Vic Goddard, Tortoise, Oingo Boingo, Nick Lowe, the Wipers, Mudhoney, The The, Nikki & the Corvettes, The Subhumans, Vivien Goldman, Helium, and much more.
