While surfing the iTunrs Music store in quest for some Human League, I found their cover of Blue Oyster Cult's classic, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper". It's quite good, actually--unexpected that they'd be doing a cover of this song. This is quite an unexpected turn, to say the least. No't that there's anyuthing wrong with that (yeah, yeah, SeinLanguage). What sparked them to do this one though?

I'm using the latest version of iTunes 6.0.1 for Mac -- when I get then entire list of Human League songs available, I do not see "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" anywhere on the list.

And when I search iTunes for "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" Human League is not listed as one of the bands that is available.

btw, I am searching the US iTunes store.

Caesars did a great cover of "Don't Fear The Reaper" and it IS available on iTunes.

Yup, on their new album Before After. A very 90s clubby sound. In fact the whole album is like that - meaning you'll either love it or hate it. I love it.

Hey now, that's not fair. Blir turned me on to BSP, so he's right about 1 out of 11 times. [:o)][8D]
