Re: The Guardian ranks Pet Shop Boys’ "30 greatest songs"

"Yesterday When I Was Mad" is my favourite song on "Very" by some distance (though the single version was a botched job).

Re: In Depth - a new fan podcast recorded by forum members

Enjoyed the podcast a lot, thanks!
You asked for suggestions: personally my favourite format for a podcast is where the presenters go through a body of work in chronological order, book by book, episode by episode, film by film, or as it would be in this case, album by album.

I think that is a myth, there are lots of openly emotional PSB songs

Re: Podcast about Behaviour

Never heard of her before but it was an enjoyable listen - thanks. Interesting how she stopped being such a hardcore fan after Behaviour as life took over. Probably the same for most of us, but like supporting a crap football team, we still went out and bought Release. Maybe stopped bring quite so ...

Re: Disappointed, once more...

Also maybe Bernard thinks PSB records already sound enough like New Order ones without having his guitar on them.

Re: Disappointed, once more...

Is it for fear of finally unmasking yourself that you won't write a book about PSB, Drico?

Re: Discography 2022 Reissue

The timing would be good given the tour, but I can't recall any 'Greatest Hits' package ever simply being updated with bonus discs which makes me suspicious - correct me if I'm wrong. I think Erasure did this ( Pop! / Total Pop! ). I'm sure there are other examples but I can't think of them off the...

Re: DREAMWORLD TOUR: set list speculation. Which songs are PSB going to play?

Everything they have said about the tour is contradictory. They say they have never done a "Greatest Hits" tour. That is only true if you a purist about the term, i.e. only the actual greatest hits, no exceptions, no promoting non-hits from the latest album. But they have said there WILL b...
