So I'm guessing from from the lack of opinions that there's an air of unanimous dud. Or not. Maybe this wasn't such a good choice for a C/D thread - I had made the Tiger Trap one some months back and ppl seemed to mostly agree the band was great, but then I felt another Tiger Trap kick, got referenced to a Go Sailor vid via youtube, and was kinda shocked to see 50,000 (!) views for a band so ill-recognized. Whereas the avg. Tiger Trap song only around 5,000 at most. But the 50k seems to be oddly attributed to the fact that this moviehttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0179116/contained "together forever in love", which not for reasons of song make me go O_o that so many ppl saw this in the first place.

Go Sailor are, for me, the only Rose Melberg related thing I go back to, asides from the odd Softies track. I love at least 75% of the Go Sailor stuff to bits.. really hoping their currentish reformation stretched to an appearance at Indietracks this summer.

The use of "Together Forever in Love" on the soundtrack of a late 90s lesbian-themed indie movie actually pre-dates "But I'm a Cheerleader"! I first heard of Go Sailor because the song is used on the end credits of Lover Girl with Tara Subkoff.
