@guineadropper.bsky.social@starckclub.bsky.socialThe sole single from UK #NewWave group #HumanLeague’s 1979 debut album REPRODUCTION, “Empire State Human” fizzled, failing to chart & was re-released in 1980 where it stalled at UK #62. Still critic #JanisEasing calls it “one of their best”- it was a Starck fave

@billybuddweiser.bsky.social"Oakey arrived following two days of scribbling, penning a piece exploring the Chinese practice of boiling silkworm cocoons for the silk industry & its clash with Buddhist respect for nature’s living creatures."
Every #HumanLeague fan knows what sericulture is.
