Lost in the '80s: "and why should I be lonely every night / when I can be with you, oh yes, you make it right"

Thursday, January 25, 2007


If you've been hanging around here for any amount of time, you've probably picked up that I can be a bit of a cynical bastard. But this video of 17-year old Molly from Brookhaven covering Kirsty MacColl/Tracey Ullman's "They Don't Know" is one of the most beautiful and inspirational things I've seen in quite a while. Good job, Molly. I'd buy a CD full of melancholy covers like this in a minute.

* All songs are for sampling purposes only. If the album is currently in print, you'll see an Amazon link to purchase it. Supporting artists is a good thing, since labels are run by soulless whores. I KEED! Sorta. Look, if you like it, and it's in print, support 'em. If you're the artist or copyright holder, a quick e-mail to me will bring the song down ASAP. But compliment my writing first.
* Don't e-mail me asking me to repost dead links or to send you a song you can't find. Believe it or not, I have a life outside my blogging. I KEED! But don't do it.
* One more, and this is a biggie -- do NOT hotlink directly to my audio files and post them on your site, big shot. That's just disrespectful, rude, and a theft of my hard-earned bandwith.
Now, get readin', get downloadiN', and play nice. I loves me some comments. Bring it!
