I hope you get what I'm trying to say

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless

Opportunities was their Born in the USA. A critical satire misappropriated by mindless media, they could see the way the 80s were heading. Written in 1983 as Maggie secured her second victory on the back of sinking foreign ships, it was a hit just a few months before Big Bang which deregulated the ...

I’d forgotten about that! Chris looks like he’s in Tears for Fears.

Re: Single or album version preferences

One of the things I love about Fundamental.... I hate a fade out... unless the song actually demands it for some reason... like Into thin air... and even then there's a properly written ending AND a fade out. Singles that are noticeably better* than their album versions? Suburbia, Burning the heathe...

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless

Yeah, I've always felt the song hints at a "united, we can go anywhere, achieve anything"... so "divided by zero" can mean "nothing divides us". Along with lots of other possible meanings as well of course... such great opaque lyrics... paired with such driven exciting ...

Re: Your Instant Classics

A few that have hit instantly when first heard…


Always.

Fugative.

Love etc.

A face like that.

Axis.

Inside a dream.

An open mind.

I will fall.


All grab you as soon as they start. Before you’ve got more than a few bars into these songs on first listen, you’re hooked. For good.

Re: New album Nonetheless

If you’re a vinyl player… pick one colour. If you listen on your home cinema setup, get the BlueRay. The rest of us have the double CD that fans want. There’s a single CD for everyone else. A sound release. In line with modern listening habits of those not moving to streaming only. Remember the Elec...

Re: Pet Shop Boys in today’s Guardian

“Sadly not a cover of Vic Reeves’s Dizzy”

Shoddy journalism… that was a cover.

Anyway, short, quick and to the point pop banger… perfect Eurovision.

As for Olly… a young woman pulling of his moves wouldn’t have anyone batting an eyelid.

Re: Fuzzbox

It was Mark Refoy contributing (played on the Release tour) not PSB. I think.
