Don’t ask me why I obsessively look to rock ’n’ roll bands for some kind of model for a better society. I guess it’s just that I glimpsed something beautiful in a flashbulb moment once, and perhaps mistaking it for prophecy have been seeking its fulfillment ever since.

On the surface, this post seems like just another 'love gone wrong' rant on the Missed Connections page of Craigslist...well, ok...it IS one of those...but it's also a brilliant tactical dating move(by CL standards). Notice how he deftly gains the sympathy of the reader, then oh so subtly reaches out to the other emotionally wrecked readers of the Missed Connections for 'an honest, and caring woman'...i bet his inbox overfloweth...ingenious!

Trust is no longer there - 36 (Columbus)
I have been thinking about my future a great deal with the woman I have been in love with for a few years now. I have come to find out she has betrayed and lied to me a great deal. She has made up reasons she needed to be away from me in order to quench her thirst for sex with other men. She has stayed in a hotel with another man days after helping her get her own place and move. She has joined dating sites, and utilized this site to find men to satisfy her needs. All I have ever given her is love and support.
Are there any real, truthful, honest and caring women left in this world? I hope so, and would love to find one to make me not so cynical.

...or my email is anyway! Hey, it's me Blair...the Certain Songs staff of one. I just do this for the love of the music and am in no way trying to rip anybody off, so if you are an artist or a record label and you are not happy that I am promoting your music, or you want me to take a song down, just shoot me an email and I will most definitely oblige.
And please support the artists I post here in whatever way you can if you do download a song...go to a show, buy some merch, buy an album...these songs are the soundtrack to my life and I just love to share them. But I can only do that if the insanely talented artist responsible for said songs are able to eat.
I also love hearing new stuff...so any submissions can also be sent to my email, I will try my bestest to listen to everything and get back to you all...peace,love,rock n' roll.

Mission Statement
I guess you're old enough to know. Kids out on the east coast. Roughly twenty years old. Got coaxed out by a certain perfect ratio. Of warm beer to the summer smoke. And the meat loaf to the billy joel. Certain songs they get so scratched into our souls.
She goes low on the seats when she gets high in her car. She looks shallow but shes neck deep in the steamy dreams of the guys along the harbor bars. She's pulling out her shirttails and jacking up her socks. Stern and stoned and confident, coming up towards the jukebox. Born into the only songs that everybody finally sings along. B-1 is for the good girls. It's only the good die young. C-9 is for the making eyes. It's paradise by the dashboard light. D4 is for the lovers. B12 is for the speeders. And the hard drugs are for the bartenders and the kitchen workers and the bartender's friends. And they're playing it again. Ellen Foley gives us hope. Certain songs they get scratched into our souls.
I guess you're old enough to know. Kids out on the west coast are taking off their clothes. Screwing in the surf and going out to shows. They get high and ride around in gtos. I guess you're old enough to know. CERTAIN SONGS THEY GET SCRATCHED INTO OUR SOULS. - The Hold Steady
