Certain Songs: Comfest 2009

Comfest 2009

Finally, Comfest has come back to me! Always my favorite weekend of they year. And it's true, I may not be Columbus,OH's biggest fan(I have one failed escape attempt under my belt, hoping to launche escape #2 soon) but I will ALWAYS love Comfest. The Community Festival brings all of the best parts of humanity into Goodale Park for three glorious days every June, leaving all of the not so fun parts of life to fester back in the real word.

Amazing music, amazing food, amazing people watching. And the reunions. People you haven't seen for years, you can ALWAYS count on seeing them once a year. Columbus is just small enough so that you will surely run into every ex, every old friend, and every "hey I've seen that guy before"-guy at least once over the weekend. I plan on getting down to the park at about 1PM on Friday and just sort of moving in, not leaving til they kick me out around 9 on Sunday.

Best.Weekend.Ever.Always.

And the music...

* 'Alcohol' - (Happy Chichester - Friday 8:10, Bozo Stage)

* 'Bastards & Bridesmaids' - (Two Cow Garage - Friday 10:10 Bozo Stage)

* 'Northbound' - (Tim Easton - Saturday 5:00 Bozo Stage)

Labels: Howlin Maggie, Tim Easton, Two Cow Garage |

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
