I started writing this post about a month ago, way before I knew what house I was going to be moving into. Originally, “Suburban Home” was included just for the house reference because I was sure we were going to be living in Seattle proper, but now, living on the Eastside still, it seems even more appropriate.
Apologies to everyone out there that was eager to hear about my awesome set of techno music, but this post is about the house I will be buying with Yaeka.
The other day I was thinking about moving into a new house and the first thing I would do. Changing the toilet seats is definitely near the top (actually not anymore, the place we got has been completely remodeled), but the real winner is setting up the stereo and turning it up to a volume you just can’t do in a condo. So now the question is what is on that first set of music you play in a newly purchased house?
Here’s the list in progress (suggestions are definitely welcome in the comments):
- The Descendents – “Suburban Home”
- Blur – “Country House”
- Loretta Lynn – “This Old House”
- Benjamin Gibbard – “You Remind Me of Home”
I love theme mixes.
