The Human League Breakfast interview 23/07/08

[hunkydaboyz]

whats that first song they play???? anyone know

[mesmerizeme]

Phil Oakey is so fucking cool

[paddy9i99]

What a patronizing bitch interviewing them

[Fentoradore]

There might have a been an album to have rivalled the incredible "Dare". However, Susan Sulky had a pissy-knickered-hissy-fit over some triviality and consequently Martin Rushent walked.

It's worth bearing in mind that the iconic programming and sequencing on "Dare" was all done by Martin Rushent, un-arguably the genius behind "Dare". You will never hear Phil Oakey, Jo Catteral or Susan Sulky giving Rushent any credit, but without Rushent The Human League lost their credibility. RIP Rushent.

[TheHumanLeagueFans]

@Fentoradore Oh simmer down. Joanne has said in the last week that she was very sad to hear of Martin's death, and that he was a great producer and lots of fun to work with. I understand that Martin was working on an updated version of Love and Dancing recently so perhaps we should celebrate the collective work and leave what may or may not have happened in the past there.

[pbarc552]

Its funny really when they all agree that they're not stars...but I couldn't imagine them as anything else.

[fonzi0was0cool]

phil has no hair.....

[MargaritasAntesPorco]

@fonzi0was0cool phil has no need for hair. he looks better now. joanna has enough hair for all 3 of them...

[nevetsnamffoc]

everything that is old is new agian

[vadimfv]

Wish they could have taken along Cabaret Voltaire too! (Richard Kirk is back

recording under the Cabs name)

[vadimfv]

Wish they could have taken along Cabaret Voltaire too!

[i8beachglass]

they all look so great still!yea!!!!

[fletchb]

Their accents are a trip!!! It is easier for me (as an American) to understand their words when they are singing as opposed to when they are speaking. Glad they are still doing great, loved them as a kid!!!

[jjlinert]

They are very down to earth but their talent, music and voices are heavenly.

[metalkrush77]

i was just a kid when they were popular back in the 80's even now i still love their music, i even have my kids liking their jams, and had a blast with my daughter when i saw them live at the hollywood bowl, come back to america again!

[AdmiralBirdseye]

Phil's aged pretty well excluding the hair loss.

[degree7]

Sheffield 'ites.

[Animateme3D]

The Human League just got signed to UK's recording label Wall of Sound! New material (songs, videos, album etc.) expected sometime in 2010!!!!

[iLuvAkeys4ever]

Every Decade there has always been a sound/fashion/dance to replace the last decades. For the first time in a hundred year or so there is no new sound and everyone is being forced to go retro, WHY? Well the world as we know it is coming to an end. 2012 He will return and the days of suffereing will finally be over!

[WupWup68]

Aaaaaaaaaah! This is so nice to watch!

I thought they were great back then.

[RoadsideDinerLover]

so what happened to the other bloke? The ginger haired one...was there another bloke too?

I love the Human League!!

[limpar69]

suzanee is preserved pretty, joan caterall ... no comment

[frankmunoz27]

THANK YOU for posting this, it's totally awesome! I LOVE HUMAN LEAGUE!!!

[sandprof]

The MILFS look like 44 year old lasses - no worries with that - but he looks great for a guy in his mid 50s - great stuff

[thelyniezian]

Eleven year olds suddenly listening to it again now? I was listening to their stuff, albeit as a teenager, in the late '90s.

[NeedForSpeedUK]

Great band. "Don't You Want Me Baby" is the 25th best selling song of all time.

[RogerDcarnac]

Susan is the talent in the band now. Why didnt she go solo in her 30s when she had the chance. Shes left it too late now shes nearly 50. But shes still a total MILF today

[scratchatune]

a lesson for all these new pop star arseholes who think there great when they aint...

the human league, down to earth genuine and raw talent from the roots...

u can just tell and they will be long remembered, more than all this new crap we have to listen too all day on the radio..

R.E.S.P.E.CT

[JohanR888]

very genuine people.

[zigzagbigbag]

they seem like nice folk

[freacls]

Joann and Susan look better with long hair softens their faces

[hibernius]

Meet all three a few years ago. Lovely people and no bull and Phil is so genuine and great! Love 'em

[dougiewhite778]

i always loved them ever since facination. went to see them for first time in december 2005 they were really lively and loads of students there and younger people that i was suprised about. manchester appollo

[ttblade]

Real Sheffield people. Kept all their albums from late 70's before the girls joined into eighties with the girls.

Human League show how to remain 'Human' in a world of Prima Donnas and bling.

[PaulAllsop68]

It's really such a shame that Joanne has let herself go. Susan used to be the plain one, now she is a little blonde sexpot.

[freacls]

well Joann has had a baby so shell spend most of her time tending to her son Susan has more free time to spend on her looks

[JohanR888]

think its a bit unfair to judge Joanne on her weight - she seems very happy and they arent in for the celebrity status just making music and performing.

[everoneowesmemoney2]

i saw phil once walking round meddow hall in sheffield eating somthing from gregs bakers lol i had to do a double take :-)

[imagineifitried]

cant wait to see them again in december

[ajittffcure]

It's really nice to see The Human League! They are really modest and lovely bunch of people. Actually, they are more than just 1980s hit machine group. I wonder when the media would acknowledge this fact rather than merely looking at chart positions and record sales figures.

[Si1verF0x]

Have to agree, although i loved Dare when i was a kid i owned nearly everything The Human League made. Now in my late 30's their early electronica has got a 2nd wind and im glad people are picking up on the pioneering music they made then.
