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.

I know some of you guys are reading this going....this girl is a freak.....i may be a freak...... but i am looking for the guy who is the same way or could understand why i am so conected with wolves.

'lone wolf seeks life mate' is the funniest, most conflicted CL title I have read in a LONG time...and THEN it gets weird.
It is now 3:37AM and I can't sleep to save my life...time to bring in the big guns...yes, I will now put on Josh Ritter's 'Animal Years.' I LOVE this record...and that I am counting on it to put me to sleep is in no way an insult...quite the opposite actually. It's like the musical equivalent of a security blanket.
Since I am up, here are a couple of my favorite JR covers. His sublime take on Modest Mouse's 'Blame It On The Tetons' and an incredible version of the Springsteen classic 'The River.'
This song introduced me to Josh Ritter, and my ears have been so much better of ever since. I think I actually have the dearly departed HBO show 'Six Feet Under' to thank for this. This played during and episode as the credits were rolling, and it was love at first listen...i can remember spending the better part of the next week trying to track it down.
It was time well spent. This track is available on the 'Golden Age Of Radio' LP...an excellent record.
...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
