This morning I woke up with a doozy of a song in my head… Nik Kershaw’s “Wouldn’t It Be Good,” which I swear I’ve bought 16 times on iTunes because it’s on the Pretty in Pink soundtrack. But OBVIOUSLY, when I fumbled for my phone and looked for it through song title… nope… then artist… no luck… then playlists… nope…. I had to concede that it wasn’t in my current rotation. Fair enough. But when I finally got my ass up and looked in my music library… wait for it…  it wasn’t on any of my hard drives, either! AAAGH, GASP, CUE FEELING OF WORTHLESSNESS.

So I sucked it up and bought the song again. Obvs it’s ridiculously, absurdly good, as it’s always been. (I’m on an Amtrak now, listening to it on repeat.)

However, I have a new concern:  WTF EVER HAPPENED TO NIK KERSHAW? Did he finally suck it up and reunite with the Psychedelic Furs?

(Not that he was ever with the Furs, but IMO he should have been.)

Hotness. Also: Where Is This Man and His Hair These Days?

(Secondary question… is he still nearly as hot?)

Here’s what I could find:

And for your continued audio-visual pleasure, here’s the video for his second-biggest hit.
