I've grown to love and re-appreciate Disco 2. As a 90s relic when I loved anything PSB. Even "Liberation" uh remix.

Re: Lost
I am really loving I Will Fall this week. When it goes uptempo it's dashing, a romantic urgency to it that reminds me of Between Two Islands' best part ("I want you.."). And the classic PSB theme of romantic escape."Come away with me..". I really enjoy it. Maybe those long fade-o...

Re: The Pop Kids
It's so good and fun and funny.
Insane that it's so impossible to find out more about who made this weird awesome song celebrating Chris Lowe and his birthday.

Re: Somewhere
I listened to a LOT of Sondheim upon news of his death, and "Somewhere" was definitely in the mix, repeatedly. Liza's "Losing My Mind" interpreted by different divas. Hers is still the best. I don't know what to make of Neil Tennant's absolute silence on Sondheim's death except t...

Re: "Cricket Wife" initial commentary
Wayne's interpretation, if correct, makes this one of most devastatingly sad songs the Boys have ever done, in this listeners opinion. Not a bad thing I might add, but I nearly cried just reading his interpretation. I haven't even heard it yet. Listened to it about 5 times tonight, and Wayne's inte...

Re: Recording of DJ Culture and Was It Worth It?
I wouldn't want to remove Nervously from Behaviour. I think it's sort of essential to the album as a concept and mood, to me which is strongly that of a gay man in 1990. Worried about things. In London, at that time. Which I was that wet autumn, gay men were scared and concerned. A positive diagnosi...

Re: Pet Shop Boys on Youtube
I was delighted to finally figure out how to borrow e-books from my library recently. Along with serious literature I borrowed Belinda Carlisle's memoir. I read it in about two hours. I think the Go-Gos were mighty. And I thought she had things under control by the time of "Mad About You" ...

Re: Dricography: Ranking Introspective
Has everyone else got a different version of Introspective to me?! On my version Domino Dancing has sung rather than spoken vocals (apart from the middle bit) and the thunderstorm is between the end of Left to My Own Devices and I Want a Dog. On my copy I’m Not Scared comes after Domino Dancing. Hi...

Re: Dricography: Ranking Introspective
Ps. My point, compressed: That thunderstorm between the songs is one of my favorite parts of Introspective, so distinctive and memorable. It was cool back then, as it it gave me chills at how cool it was, and I still love it.

Re: Dricography: Ranking Introspective
I have always loved your brilliant writing on the songs Drico, because they reward close attention that you've paid and remain great, and you write so well about them. And I love that you relate them to your own life much more, autobiography, than you used to do when this site started. (I was going ...

Hey Marie, thanks for your nice reply, SO sorry I've taken weeks and weeks to see it! (Talking about letters to the Queen, etc.). Hope you are well, it's almost the weekend, hope you have a great one. Cheers!

Re: Pet Shop Boys and Fashion
PSB and and (high, discriminating design and) fashion have always gone together beautifully and artistically. Just think of all of their styles and costumes and collaboration in creating striking visual images, way ahead of their time. They avoided the pitfalls of trying a look that was of the momen...

Marie, you went above and beyond there! Glad you did, "I had only sent a letter to the Queen etc... " is great fun to read. Journalism and royal intrigue, thanks Marie. :) I said many years ago, if it's offered , Neil should take the gong, Chris can turn it down, whatever. On the other han...
