  1. If we weren't fully booked up for trips next year then we'd consider this. Something of interest to the #TOTP or 80s music crowd too: a week's cruise to Norway with entertainment from Holly Johnson, ABC, Go West, Nik Kershaw, and Pat Sharp amongst others.

  5. Heh. I'm finally listening to a Go West album that I accidentally* bought a year or two ago but had never played.

    (* I bought what I thought was a Best of Go West album from a charity shop but they had mixed the discs up and while I have the case for the best of, I've actually got their album Indian Summer. I think I never played it due to being annoyed about not getting what I expected.) 😆

    New Found Glory sacaron tiempo ha, no un disco de covers cualquera, sino de covers de canciones peliculeras.

    Tanto éxito tuvo que sacaron dos 'secuelas' años después. Esta versión de los británicos Go West, que suena en Pretty Woman, suena alegre y divertida como pocas.
    Y porque me gusta un montón os la comparto aquí :D

  13. "Goodbye girl" - Go West

    Wants to be a power ballad, but suffers a power cut somewhere around the bridge to the chorus.

    Peter Cox was right: he told the record company, don't make it a single. Did they listen, did they 'eck!

    Go West contributed "One way street" to the Rocky IV soundtrack, well done if you got that at home.

  14. 40 years ago this week, "Call Me" by #GoWest entered the #Top100 at 94. It peaked at 54 on 20 Jul 1985. The video seems to be set in the US, because of the American mailboxes, but the sign in the shop window says, "Newsagent". youtube.com/watch?v=utBrIVhXLJ #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

  18. "One Of The Great, Near-Lost Music Moments"

    chavenet links John Bull's (Mefi's own garius's) Bluesky post on the 1994 Pet Shop Boys Brit Awards appearance and their rendition of the Village People's "Go West," performed with 3 separate choirs of Welsh miners — and garius's comment in the thread may make you cry.

  20. I’m #NowSpinning #SonnyRollins & The Contemporary Leaders from #Craft’s recent #GoWest boxset - an all analogue retrospective of the classic #WayOutWest.

    This is new to me, but is as melodic & swings nearly as hard as its sister album. Rollins is on top form & the addition of #BarneyKessel on guitar distinguishes it from his other albums in my collection.

    In terms of SQ, this is another #BernieGrundman cut & it matches Way Out West.
