Lydia Loveless rocks They Don’t Know in Phoenix

June 12, 2014 Leave a comment

Another cover version of They Don’t Know from Lydia Loveless on her latest album Somewhere Else.  “It’s a very simple, almost perfect pop song. The lyrics are incredibly clever, but not self-aware in their cleverness, if that makes sense. I just really admire it” as Lydia told the cmtedge.com site recently.

    This is an independently run site with no direct source of income. You can help me out by buying something from amazon via these links.

    • Buy now from amazonamazon.co.uk
    • Buy now from amazonamazon.com

    and freeworld gets a small commission each time. Best of all, it costs you nothing extra!

    If you don’t wish to buy from amazon you can still help me out by sending a donation via Paypal, all donations most welcome, no matter how small!

    Why not donate monthly?

    You don’t get any additional site content, you just get to feel good about yourself :o) We would offer a smaller amount but it would just disappear in paypal fees.

    We have had over 1 million visitors since December 1995. We have been talking ’bout Kirsty ever since! This is the definitive online history of one of the best British singers and songwriters.

    Kirsty said in 1999 … “Freeworld is the one, there’s tons and tons of it. It’s got records I didn’t know I’d ever done.”
