We’re ten weeks in now and I’m sure you’re all well aware of what a live blog is, but just in case, let me welcome you to the tenth of this year’s Apprentice Liveblogs. If you’re unfamiliar with liveblogs, it’s simply a place to chat about the show while we’re watching. It’s one big moderated chatroom for The Apprentice. You can follow it below on Culch.ie or you can launch a stand alone window and follow it there. It’s simple and fun, so please come join us. This week’s challenge setter is Harvey Norman (Go Harvery Go!!) and we will have a competition running tomorrow morning in association with Harvey Norman. Keep an eye on this evening’s live blog for more details. The Apprentice Ireland 2010 Week Ten Click here to launch in a separate window

Their music can be heard through every subverted electro-pop act since the release of Dare in 1981 (the year I was born). The Human League’s synthpop sound has been cited as an influence by everyone from Madonna to Robbie Williams, from Moby to Little Boots. This week, they return with the single Night People from Credo, their first studio album in 10 years. Am I excited? Maybe. It sounds like they’ve just picked up where they left off, which is not necessarily a bad thing. It’s a good track and it bodes well for the new album, which will be released in March 2011. They will also tour here in the new year (dates tbc). What do you think of Night People? Will you catch The Human League when they visit us?
