Don't You Want Me Baby?

At a loose end last night I flicked through the BBC iPlayer and stumbled across http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00shyg4/young-guns-go-for-it-series-1-2-the-human-league#group=p0276q4x made in 1999.

Hugely enjoyable and very entertaining.

I was particularly taken with the idea of recruiting a new member for a band with the immortal line: "[i]We hear you have a slide collection[/i]."

Well worth 30 minutes of anyone's time.

A friend of mine was once recruited into a band whilst standing at a bar because the lead singer mentioned he really fancied a synth player. My friend mentioned he had a real cheapo Wasp synth. He couldn't really play it but simply having one was enough and he was immediately offered the gig.

Only lasted a few gigs and one album but had one really big hit single.

The lead singer died years ago and my friend helped re-form the band and thy are now a staple on the post punk / 80's revival circuit. Somewhat amusingly not only can he not really play keys but he can't really sing either - he's now their lead singer :)

Has he considered a career in politics? :lol:
