Track of the week 29/10/17
I knew the name “The Go Go’s” back in the day, but didn’t really know anything of them – probably just an ace before my time? I was more aware of Belinda Carlisle (a guilty pleasure – it is only in recent years that I have come out as a fan!) and Jane Wiedlin’s “Rush Hour” was a big hit in ’88 when I was in the constant rush hour that is London who both began their careers in the Go Go’s.
Anyway, (re)-discovered the Go Go’s as I had “My lips are sealed” floating around in my head and turned to trusty YouTube. Was expecting the Fun Boy Three to pop up, but The Go Go’s was the number one result. Listened to it and, through the magic that is YouTube, it then suggested I listen to this – Head over Heels which is a fantastic bit of frothy punky pop.
