It’s that time of year again. Going with your mom to the nearest big box store to pick up a new pencil case, Trapper Keeper, lined paper and a selection of Bic erasable pens for the big return to school. Or maybe just a new MacBook.

Perhaps the most essential accessory is music though. Not just any music though. Music written about getting an education, the institutes where we learn, the pals/idiots you’re surrounded by and the angst that fills you from September until June.

So, without further ado, The Wedge Presents a playlist we call “Back To School (Suckers)”:

Vampire Weekend – Campus
