A few months ago I made a playlist called Middle-Aged Parking Lot Music. The gist was a bunch of songs that one should probably not play in the parking lot of a Costco or Walmart, but one will want to anyways. These songs are loud and sometimes offensive. Perfect music for someone waiting in the car while their partner runs into Target to fetch laundry detergent and return a pillow case. This was such a fun playlist to make, and got a bunch of attention too. So, of course I had to make a second volume: Music for the Suburbs.
So, what’s on this playlist? You’ll hear We start you up with, uh, Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones. Then we drop into Anarchy (in the UK) by the Sex Pistols. We hear about a Bitchin’ Camaro from the Dead Milkmen, and we spiral down the Helter Skelter with The Beatles. Misfits, The Ramones, The Clash, Garbage, Twisted Sister, AC/DC, NIN, The Cramps, Rancid, The Breeders, and more! This playlist is so much fun, you’ll actually want to run those errands! Just try not t play this music too loud, security might want to have a word with you if you do. And if there are children around, well, just know there’s some NSFW material on Music for the Suburbs.
Play Music for the Suburbs as loud as your environment allows. And then a little louder.
That didn’t seem like music for the suburbs!
Yeah, I told you it’s NSFW! Deal with it! Ok, ok, I’m being a comedian here I guess. I know, don’t quit your day job. Wait, did someone say day job? Because I need one. Desperately. Yes, usually I just ask you, my loyal readers, to do normal website engagement stuff. Follow me on social media, like, comment, give your opinions, and what have you This time I’m asking you to actually hire me! Alright, I don’t really expect anyone to read this and be like – ok, I’ll hire you. But it never hurts to ask. Seriously. And by the way, here’s my Linkedin.
