Tempus fugit. We are now in the tenth year of the fourth Pet Shop Boys decade. That, of course, got me thinking. It doesn't take much. What were my highlights since 2010? Restricting myself to the quality control guarantee of 10 tracks, I cannot find a place for marvellous moments such as Axis,...

Just 10 songs?
That's not easy, there are so many to choose from .

Here's my list in no particular order:

Vocal (an all-time favourite)
Love is a bourgeois construct ( moaning periodically :lol: )
The Pop Kids (a song about all of us)
Breathing space
Inner sanctum (a perfect opener for a show)...

Because last year's Annually took *so* long to arrive in the States via standard mail (more than six weeks, if I remember correctly), this year I sprang for the additional cost of the expedited option.

The official website and PSB shop have offered no concrete information on how long this...

My copy of Annually and the Agenda CD didn't arrive. I got in touch with Digital Stores who say it is 'lost'. They also took my payment twice and refunded it once. Obviously it's now out of stock, so it looks like I'll never get a copy. Have others had a similar experience?

Wonder if these four new songs will emerge in their demo form on another EP? Seems to be a worthwhile method of releasing themed tracks that otherwise don't fit a full release.

thereafter, worldwide war would break out. I came along in '43. No one then, including them, could

Interesting read, but you made the wrong assumption that the 2019 live remix is a PSB remix, but it's actually a fan-made remix (and a good one in that)

Presumably a fan on here hasn't bought it, otherwise we'd have seen mention. It's likely gone to the home of a music/piano/antiques aficionado. The piano did have a significant value on its own accord- away from the PSB connection.

This post explains why I love the PSB Mexico City production of Cubism (2007).

First, the camera captures the electricity of the audience right out of the gate and keeps it up
throughout the show. The close-ups are particularly affecting, and when the audience knows the
words...well... sing...

Yates' work could easily be a thematic antecedent of Suburbia , but let's look more closely for some
common threads in these selected lines from the song that might point more clearly toward its ideational forebearers.

Well, his remix of Twenty Something was abysmal.
