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.

You talked to me about Craigslist at a party on Friday. You lit my cigarettes. I want to know how hardcore you are about this site. Tell me what I wanted to put menthol in and what the dumb girl I was with kept wrapping herself in.
Thank the GODS it is Friday...been a long week of nothing much at all here, if I may paraphrase the Replacements. Music is indeed my savior.
I took a nice, LOOOOONG relaxing walk yesterday after work with the shuffle mode as my guide, all the while making mental notes of the great songs that popped up that I hadn't heard in awhile. Here are the greatest hits from that walk...a quick mix to start your weekend off...enjoy!
It was a nice, but fleeting weekend...gone before I realized it had even started. The highlight came late this afternoon, when my niece and I plugged in the Xbox for some Guitar Hero Word Tour action. Me on the plastic guitar, her on lead vocals. And while I am her uncle, and slightly biased, I have to say that she pulled off that J Mascis growl really well(especially for a 6yr old) on 'Feel The Pain'...I have never been prouder!
So I am putting the weekend to bed with that beautiful Dinosaur,Jr song and one of my favorite Belle And Sebastian songs...just because it's sort of dreamy and sounds to me like a weekend ending.
I started working here a few months ago. I know you are married but my God you are the hottest man I have ever met. Your sense of humor, the way you give direction to me, the way you help me figure out the best way for me to do my job.
From the moment I sat down for my interview I knew I would do whatever I had to do to get the job. I am a submissive, a slave, and currently do not have a Master. I would to be your sub.
I have mentally put myself into your service. Anything you ask, I do. Immediatly. I am trying to do the best job I can to make your job easier. I want to make you proud to call me your employee. I live for your praise.
I cannot wait for my review.
I think about you all weekend, when you are at meetings and I don't get to see you. I dress to impress you, I wear perfume everyday, makeup, and iron all my clothes to show you how serious I am about my job.
I hope you read this, and realize who I am, but I don't think you will ever leave your wife, and I certainly don't want you to loose your job, and I can't afford to loose mine.
I will continue to make you my work Master, and serve you the best I can.
...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
