Capitol

Special guest Joe Reid joins us as we open the listener mailbag and pluck out Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You,” our most-requested song.

This sad ’90s classic leads us everywhere from emotional trends in pop music to those short songs you put on mix tapes. Oh, and Sarah and Mark continue their ongoing discussion of Candlebox. Tweet us at talksongs with your requests, mixtape preferences, and ideal soundtrack cut from My So-Called Life.
