The Human League

[Guest blackcockerel]

I see they're playing Hop Farm, I think they'd be a good laugh in the "legends" slot or something similar. Have they ever played?

[tinktink]

I would love this, I know there doing the rewind festivals aswell

[Bisque]

Not sure about Glastonbury, but apparently their headline set at Guilfest was alright.

[amfy]

Funnily enough, something of theirs came up on my itunes shuffle the other day and I was amazed it was them. That made me wonder whether they could play. Years ahead of their time in terms of dance music really and I just hadn't heard them like that before.

[Guest blackcockerel]

Yeah a lot of people think of them as that band with a guy with funny hair and two lasses who had one hit. I keep meaning to listen to some of their early stuff, Being Boiled is excellent. I think they went down well at Bestival a few years back.

for old times sake wouldnt mind seeing them on the card somewhere

[Ricochet]

Would be happy hearing a performance of Being Boiled.

Was really into The Human League until Ware and Marsh left to set up BEF then Heaven 17.

Reproduction is an excellent album, I recommend the digitally remastered edition thoroughly

[Ricochet]

You have to admit that Dare was a fantastic album, albeit much poppier than the previous 2. Things did go downhill after that, though....

I have no idea what any one is talking about on here.

I saw then before. Weren’t great apart from Don’t You Want Me. Just turn up for the last 5 min and you'll be grand.

I heard Being Boiled on Radio 6 the other night, not heard for years, it's still a great song - what other band has ever used sericulture as a lyric??!!

Sericulture = silkworm farming before anyone asks.......

Not that that provides any clarity really....

Listen to the voice of Buddha

Saying stop your sericulture

Little people like your offspring

Boiled alive for some gods stocking

Buddha's watching, Buddha's waiting

Just because the kid's an orphan

Is no excuse for thoughtless slaying

People don't forget this torture

Just because you call her mother

Doesn't mean that she's your better

Once more with the voice of Buddha

He'll say carry on your slaughter

Who cares for the little children

You may slice with no conviction

Blind revenge on a blameless victim

They would be ace at Glasto. Saw them in a tent at V in 2004ish and they were the highlight of the weekend.

the new album Credo, is very good imo

[Nixy]

+1 for me - saw them at Manc Pride a couple of years ago and they were top notch

[Gnomicide]

My hatred for Human League knows no bounds

They are in my little black book, page three.

Page one - UB40

Page two - Level 42

Page three - Human League

[audio farm]
