Certain Songs: Twitter Nation

Twitter Nation

Only on Twitter can one "follow" Yoko Ono, Steve Buschemi, AND MC Hammer...technology is truly an amazing thing!

I have to admit that I was pretty much baffled by Twitter for the first three months or so that I was on there...I really had no idea what it was or what it was for. Turns out it's just like the the most instant free flow of information imaginable...in 140 characters or less. And as you can tell by the brevity of my blog posts, I am a big fan of blurbs...so Twitter is perfect for me and my fellow attention deficit disorder inflicted kindred spirits out there.

And...as a cool perk, I have even been discovering some new tunes via tweets. I heard this one last week and just now made an effort to track it down. I honestly don't know a lot about the band, other than their from the UK and they have an album slated to hit stores here in July I believe.
Here is a killer track from Florence And The Machine...enjoy.

* Florence And The Machine - 'Kiss With A Fist' MP3

Labels: Florence And The Machine |

My phone's on vibrate for you...

...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
