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.

Today's Coachella artist of the day is the lovely and talented Charlotte Gainsbourg. I am gonna make every attempt to catch her set in Indio, as the chances of her ever playing Columbus,OH are slim and none I fear.
Here is a killer song-in video form- off of her latest record, 'IRM', which she co-wrote with Beck.

No cone tops and some flat tops. With traders and collection there are about 6500 beer cans. You could easily sell the traders on ebay and get your money back. Collection is closed up in boxes. These are just two pictures of the cases full of traders. Tried to load more pictures but said too much. Could be a great money maker if you are ebay savy. I only check emails every several days so please be patient. Serious inquiries only.

After what may have been the longest Monday in the history of Mondays, I took my beloved dog and my beloved Zune out for a head-clearing walk in the snow...I left my musical fate up to mystical powers of the shuffle mode. Here are the three tracks that served as my soundtrack...yeah, it was cold....short walk.
This episode comes from on on the quintessential 'break up albums' of my lifetime, Beck's 'Sea Change'. A record with one heartbreaker after another...seriously, this thing should come with a warning label on it. Paired with a recent breakup, 'Sea Change' could be harmful to one's health.
...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
