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.

on second thought, i don't really care. you were at the bar last night. the boths of yous. we went to high school. there was no connection missed, i was just wondering if you'd help me out with something. y'see, i feel like i have unfinished business with HS. like it's in some crevice in the back of my head that sometimes comes out and bothers me. so here is where you come in (and by you i mean at least one of you): let me take you to the bone zone. just pork you like crazy. no talking unless you deem it necessary, hell you don't have to like it either. and i don't care if its after the 2 burley muscle monkeys with the saccarine words and plastic charm are done with yas. i really think this will bring me to peace. and hey, you'll get a free boning out of the deal. sounds win win.

Bad attempt at humor, or somebody really having trouble moving after the high school experience? Not really sure, and I don't think I even care...just read this one and it reminded of this song...which I love.
New Business that paid market rate for RENT, EQUIPMENT, PERMIT, MERCHANDISE, and HOURLY WORKERS is looking for a marginalized local artist to give us something for nothing. If you jump through the numerous demoralizing and moronic hoops we set before you while being dramatically under compensated we will surely spread the word to our other parasitic merchant contemporaries that you are willing to be treated like a sucker. As an American artist you better get used to it.
I think I have rambled on before about what a huge Buddy Holly fan I am...so while listening to the forthcoming M Ward album, 'Hold Time', I was pleasantly surprised to hear this cool cover of one of my all time favorite Buddy songs.
It's like 'When Harry Met Sally' meets 'Napoleon Dynamite'...set in New Zealand.
Not a great movie, but the leads are so likable that you can't help but to love them and, by default,enjoy the movie. He is Jarrod played by Jermaine Clement of Flight Of The Concords fame, she is the incredibly lovable Lily, played perfectly by Loren Horsley.
This is the debut disc from singer/actress Zooey Deschanel(wonderful as the big sister in Almost Famous) and singer/songwriter M Ward. A great collection of old-timey sounding songs...really a great 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
