Happy belated new year! Good news to hear the rumours that Philip and Co are hard at work in the studio recording the follow up to 2001's "SECRETS"...We live in hope it will see a release this year. 

On another note, I was lucky enough to be able to travel to England in December to see the mighty League in concert on the "DARE" Tour. I saw them in Lincoln, Manchester, London and Sheffield. The shows were utterly fantastic. My photos are up on Flickr in the Human League pool. Discussion on the tour as (and a million other subjects) are going on over at the League forum. Head over and say hi....

Upcoming shows: The Human League will be doing a gig at the brand new Sheffield Carling Academy on April 20th. They will also be appearing at the Isle of Wight's Bestival in September. 

House label Hooj Choons has released "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of" remixes on 12" and CD. More info from Hooj
