# Some kind of 24 hour music making thing done by kraftwerk
Personally I'd have been happier if they made another album but I guess I don't call their shots.

# I'd have mixed feelings about another album.
If it sounded like kraftwerk, it could easily sound dated and irrelevant.
If it sounded modern, it probably wouldn't sound like kraftwerk.
Be a shame to ruin the legacy.

# I dunno
HAS/YMO managed to produce modern music while retaining some of their original sound

# fair enough
I wouldn't know. Never really heard any yellow magic orchestra, and I don't know what HAS stands for :)

# Human Audio Sponge
Half the group left under that name and then rejoined later.

Some of their more recent work

# Dunno, but the Human League have got a new LP coming out soon.
And the only thing wrong/right with it is that the new stuff sounds like the Human League.

# I didn't know that.
I fucking love the Human League. With and without Ware and Marsh.

# BUT THIS IS PHIL TALKING. I WANNA TELL YOU
that even the single sounds like a meh album track. So don't expect another 'Travelogue' or 'Dare'.

# Any idea when it's released?
(I helped save b3ta! 4Q just lurking, Sat 12 Mar 2011, 4:08, archived)
# Nope.
If only there was some kind of electronic device that enabled a person to find out the answers to such questions from the comfort of their own armchairs...
(OK, I admit that was sarcastic)

# I just found a really interesting site. Wikipedia. It says this:
The single "Night People" was released on 22 November 2010, which failed to chart. Follow up single "Never Let Me Go" was released on 1 March 2011 except in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, where "Egomaniac" was released on 4 March 2011. The album Credo was released in these territories on 11 March 2011. It will be released in the rest of Europe on 21 March 2011. [31] There are no plans for a worldwide release.

# Checking further back in the human league entry,
it would appear I haven't actually bought anything by them since 1984, namely The Lebanon.
Where does all the time go, eh?

# You bought The Lebanon?
Wow.

# didn't like it much,
kinda stopped paying attention after that. Got into punk. Obvious next step, really.

Apologies, but I've got to crash now.

# They're nutters.
Despite being self-employed, they clock in and out daily, imposing a rigorous Mon-Fri professional
regime upon themselves even though they produce practically fuck all.
And they actually ride bicycles on the road, even when they're not pissed.

# I don't get that 'bikes on the road' thing
Over here it's illegal to ride on the footpath.
(I helped save b3ta! gronkpan @vomitinglarry.bsky.social, Sat 12 Mar 2011, 2:15, archived)
# Well, it's tricky here.
Cos it's unlawful to ride on the pavement, and it's fucking lethal to ride on the road.
So we squat here like toads, blinking and not moving. And save up for taxis.

# Gosh.
I've only just relocated from there myself. Moseley, to be precise...
(I helped save b3ta! 4Q just lurking, Sat 12 Mar 2011, 2:40, archived)
# haha,
b3tans have been vacating Moseley in droves over the last couple of years, for some reason.
I put it down to Moseley not being all it's cracked up to be. That and the increased efficiency of the council pest controllers.

# Yeah. Well. It used to be fun there.
Good squatting and party scene some years ago. Full of poseurs these days.

# I wish you'd've showed up at one of Dr When's bashes while you were in this dreary city.
You'd've been unable to stop making friends.

# Ooh. Now then.
Sarcasm?
(I helped save b3ta! 4Q just lurking, Sat 12 Mar 2011, 3:35, archived)
# No. The opposite of sarcasm.
It's a pity I never met you while you were here.
All the bashes I've been to have been fucking great, and I've made friends from them.
A very easy crowd to rub along with (at least in Brum and Derby, which are the ones I've attended).
Since you're no longer in Brum, I'd recommend strolling along to one near you.
(I helped save b3ta! Sea Tramp the thinking woman's 8 Ace, Sat 12 Mar 2011, 3:55, archived)
# Oh, okay :)
Being over-sensitive there.
I'm not sure if enough people would know who the hell I was if I did go to one of the b3ta bashes.
Probably be full of people I'd managed to annoy in one way or another...
edit: enough people anyone

People don't care who you 'are'. I'm exactly this kind of twat online and offline.
Just the fact of being on b3ta is quite a leveller. I was a bit nervous going to my first bash,
but turned up, immediately saw some prat wearing a stupid hat (who is now a good friend), and just melted into it.
Perhaps you won't be annoying.

Fuck, I sound like Claire Rainer all of a sudden.
