Anything Motion City Soundtrack. The Snake, The Cross, The Crown: Like a Moth Before a Flame. Those always remind me of the burbs. Other than that I got nothing, but I could make a hole list of things that remind me of New Jersey, and not that privileged, orange, asshole, Jersey shore kind of New Jersey. For some reason the burbs and Jersey fit together some how on my musical Venn Diagram.
I considered "Commit this to Memory," particularly for "LGFUAD" and "Attractive Today." The Mander Salis album sounded like hicks dealing with the burbs, so I can particularly relate to that. New Jersey is 100% metropolitan, I believe they're burbs by default.
