Last week we took at trip back to the 80's with Thompson Twins, this week it's another great synth band, Human League. I was quite disheartened that my favorite Human League video on You Tube has embedded disabled, so you'll have to go there to see "(Keep Feeling) Fascination". I can't imagine there is a great demand for Human League vids, but whatevs.
Human League are a fab British new wave band who made some great tunes back in the day and are still recording, still touring, still going strong. The three must-have tracks for you 80's iPod playlist are "(Keep Feeling) Fascination," "Human," and of course "Don't You Want Me." The first is a video is a live version of the song (definitely not as good as the original) and the other two videos are the oridinal 80's goodness. I must say I'm disappointed that the lead singer doesn't wear makeup anymore and he's shaved his head, no more sexy floppy hair that I love. Someone has to bring back the floppy hair. Since Hugh Grant's gone shorter all the other guys have too and it's just not right. Throw me a bone here, I don't ask for much.
Enjoy the Sunday rewind! Next week: the floppy-haired Brit band ABC. Lead singer, Martin Fry gave my boy Hugh Grant singing and dancing lessons for Music and Lyrics, so you know he's got street cred. Okay, maybe not street cred — oh shut up, this daylight savings has me all messed up and I need a vacation.
