Well folks, it’s August 1st — time for college kids around the world to move back to their rented houses.* I’m lucky; for me it just means a move across the street, but for many it means UHauls, pizza bribes and sore backs. So while I’m busy getting utilities turned on and schlepping my records across the street, here are a few moving inspired tunes.

MP3: Wire - Start to Move
MP3: They Might Be Giants - Careful What You Pack
MP3: Ben Kweller - I Gotta Move
MP3: Mountain Goats - The Boys are Back in Town (Thin Lizzy)
MP3: White Stripes - I’m Bound to Pack it Up

Also, I’d like to express my elation that my life-long goal of having a loft apartment is somewhat completed. Our new place is three bedroom / three bath, so that means I’ve got a nice little upstairs (with bathroom!) all to myself.

*Yes, I know it’s not time for the move back into the dorms.
