SubstackSimon Campbell on SubstackAlthough our move has been fraught with problems caused by our lying, cheating new landlords, José and Dulce Capinha, we have already become very connected with our new village, Foz do Arelho and the closest city, Caldas da Rainha. Its a fantastic place full of artists musicians and students of Art & Design. Over the next weeks I am going to write a full article about our experiences but in the meantime want to share yesterday’s fabulous day out walking around the monthly flea market. @Suzy Starlite and I took three of our four labradors: Bobby (11), Edith and Françoise who are sisters and 10 months old. Hummock remained at home as being 13 and curmudgeonly, she doesn’t like to be on a lead! The monthly market is held in the Parque Dom Carlos I and has hundreds of stalls with people selling everything you can imagine. It was warm in the sun and chilly in the shade. We picked up a magazine from 1969 featuring the Astronauts from the first moon landing and five vinyl records: Cruisin’ by the Village People, The Look Of Love by ABC, The Friends of Mr Cairo by Jon and Vangelis, Journeys to Glory by Spandau Ballet and Dare by the Human League. These were all manufactured in Portugal and when we returned home found them to be variable in reproduction with Dare sounding the best. A lesson learned and made us appreciate the excellence of Optimal Media, the pressing plant we use in Germany. I had Dare on rotation for five hours. What a fucking remarkable record, my favourite track being Open Your Heart. Next week Phil Kneen is flying in to do our 2025 photoshoot and I am feverishly trying to lose a few pounds before he arrives so we visited Cais do Parque which is situated on the edge of the park for soup and a cheeky red wine from the Dão region. A great day out.

Okay so @tabletopmania weighed in elsewhere, got it right, and chose #HumanLeague for the song tomorrow ... but there's still a bright, shiny #noprize available for the first correct Mastodon answer to this #1947League #baseball question!

For what team did today's #1947League hero, Bill Byrd, pitch AND WIN both games of a doubleheader? One guess only, please. This question is being shared simultaneously with other #baseball nerds on other platforms.

For those that only think of the gothic disco vibes of their commercial peak, here is the complete session recorded by The #HumanLeague on 8 August 1978 for the #JohnPeel show on BBC Radio 1. It's truly #postpunk gloom (the classic track "Being Boiled" is a favorite), and yet the initial DNA of the group is there, including one cheeky as hell cover of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling ":
