Goin' Old School isn't a trip down music memory lane, it's a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia: This week we're kicking it TOTP style with three performances, first up The Human League in 1982 with 'Mirror Man'. A year later Yazoo 's 'Nobody's Diary' from 1983. And finally, 'Things Can Only Get Better' in 1985 from Howard Jones . [...]

fockewulf 190 - "body heat" (download) Fockewulf 190 were a Human League - Ultravox - Kraftwerk -inspired Italian duo who were most active in the 802s, although as recently as 2010, they released a cover of the classic Kraftwerk track "The Model." They take their name from a WWII German fighter jet.
Cette semaine, nous partons faire l'éloge de la troupe d'un artiste à barbe. Non nous ne parlerons pas des ZZ Top ou d'un best of de Georges Moustaki. Les habitués de cette chronique se doutent bien qu'il s'agit d'une barbe bien suisse , suisse -allemande, même. Une barbe qui trône bien en évidence sur un album sorti ce vendredi 13 janvier, celle d' Elia Rediger , chanteur du groupe bâlois The Bianca Story . Sans sa barbe, comme dirait Corbier, The Bianca Story ne serait pas un groupe moins intéressant. Mais la pochette [...]

THE HUMAN LEAGUE - THE LEBANON (DREAMTIME MIX) (MEDIAFIRE link due to server limitations) Hi Everybody! I got a repost of an older DreamTime Mix for you today. It's the 1984 single The Lebanon by British band The Human League . You can find the original version of this track on their album Hysteria . I combined the Extended Version & the Instrumental Version . The mix [...]
Although I'm no history buff, when it comes to music, I'm fascinated by the journey of how music became what it is today. When I listen to The Human League, a British Synth Pop act from the 80s who are behind the unmistakably catchy 'Don't You Want Me', I'm reminded of bands from today like Cut Copy and The Juan MacLean. So let's go back to the future and listen to this megamix I found. Human League Megamix

Happy New Year GS! Hope it was rad for all of you and you all found someone hot to make out with when the clock struck 12. So before we all get swept away with the delicious new releases 2012 is going to be offering us - because seriously, with the imminent rise in Oliver's amazingness, The Magician continuing to magically find his way into our hearts (and pants) and whoever else is planning to blow our minds, this year is going to be very big in music - [...]
2011 is over and done with, so this means, no last minute releases and hopefully no songs I have forgotten about - which I'm sure I have. I didn't do a top albums list this year, only because nothing in particular amazed me, however particular songs did. So before you continue reading onto my top [...]
This was a no-brainer really. Last year's entry into our Hall Of Fame was a toss-up between Kraftwerk (who ended up being entered) and this band. The band that practically invented SynthPop and in their decades long career have never once wavered from the path of electronic Pop music. If you are at all into synthesizer music with a Pop edge then everything you listen to owes a debt to The Human League . Sure, the building blocks were being put in place by numerous musical movements in Europe (including The League's own electronic experimentalism [...]
Let's kick things off with one of the biggies. Best reMix . Compiling 03-20 was tough, this year has been amazing for reMixes, it seems like every release in 2011 came loaded with quality versions. There were so many singles released this year that it was nearly impossible to choose your favourite mix off of. As ever, I'm sure there are tracks we have forgotten, and tracks we will be kicking ourselves for not including when they are pointed out to us, and tracks we will remember tomorrow. The winner though, and the runner up, [...]

Photos by G. 2011 was a better than normal year for good tunes. In no particular order, here's a list of 21 songs that made my world a lot groovier. I don't think that all of the tracks were released as singles, and if they were, many of these gems were probably not played in a mainstream way (like the radio). That's sad, especially when over-produced pop songs that sound good on ONE LISTEN ONLY are played ad nauseum to the masses while they open their mouths wide for something to suck on. [...]

Originally penned under one of the band's previous names, Being boiled eventually morphed into what we have here, and was on the band's original mixtape sent out! I'm a huge fan of these early dark n' schleazy synth trax, those warm analog pads get me every time! The note changes in this reallllly realllly remind me of Visage's classic 'Fade to grey', to the point i'm sure someone somewhere has done some kinda mash up. DOWNLOAD

HD Video by G. For those that are stuck in the 1980s and think that Human League stopped making music after their worldwide smash hits "Don't You Want Me," "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" and "Human," I've got news for you! Human League have never stopped and their latest album "Credo" was released in 2011. One of my favorite songs from the record is "Night People." I saw Human League perform the song at the Best Buy Theater in New York on September 23, 2011. It looked and sounded just like this... There is a place... that only... [...]

the human league - "being boiled' (download) A classic and often-covered track from Human League 's 1979 debut album Reproduction . The band has even re-done the song themselves. A bit more minimal than what they would do in later years with songs like "Don't You Want Me" and "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of." buy
