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.

Aw...Insane Clown Posse fans are just THE most romantic...
Alright hear it goes. I'm a 19 year old guy. I'm into movies a lot, and video games as well. I don't know what I want to do with my life, and I'm currently working 2 part times jobs insted of going to school. I'm pretty much the sterotypical kinda failure. On the plus side I live in an apartment with a roommate. I don't sleep much for two reasons. I have a 3rd shift job, and i have bad case of insomnia. I don't quite know why thats a plus but it is. For a woman I'm pretty much looking for anyone who likes movies and stays up late. Thats really about it though...oh yeah no kids. Now thats it. Thanks for looking

I would recommend that he not use the phrase " sterotypical kinda failure" in future personal ads...even ironically...it just doesn't translate well.
Every time I listen to this amazing debut from Laura Marling, 'Alas I Cannot Swim' I have to constantly remind myself that she is only 18yrs old. Oh, to have this kind of wisdom when I was her age...i would have been dangerous! This is already one of my favorite records of the year...and another example of a perfect rainy day soundtrack. (Plus she gets bonus points for name-checking Ryan Adams in this tune.)
Yes...again...this is my second or third time posting about her, but i just can't even fathom how someone could be so young and so talented...and have so much depth.
To say that an artist is 'wise beyond her years' is SO cliche, I know. But to listen to the folk-pop tunes of teenager Laura Marling is to hear the phrase 'wise beyond her years' play out right in front of your ears.
Her debut disc, 'Alas I Cannot Swim' is already out it the UK, and will be out stateside later this summer. Laura Marling - 'Failure' MP3
...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
