I finally, after all these years, got hold of a copy of Literally. It's a sometimes informative read but I strikes me there's a lot of alcohol mentioned. It's always in the sense of casual drinking, champagne, white wine... but also a pint or two.
There's some mentioning of Neil being drunk on a...

I'm wondering if anyone knows the full tracklist of what they played at their first gig at Brixton Fridge? Did they play early Bobby O versions of songs like I Get Excited? Also curious as to what they played at ICA the next year in 85.

I love so mucha what he did on songs like this and he is very versatile:

Looking forward to Hotspot next month, and wanted to provide an early Xmas present to help fill in the time gap!

I'm 100% confident these tracks won't see the light of day in any type of release, as 1997 was still pre-smart phone and unlikely a high quality soundboard mix exists anywhere.

Quality...

Cicero has just published in his youtube channel his version of a Bobby´O song fully produced by Pet Shop Boys in 1992 (and with Sylvia Mason Janes). Amazing track.

One of the main reason Spain has been a big market for PSB (with UK, Germany and more than France and Italy) is because they have had a successful career in the most famous chart list from Spain. I'm not talking about The Spanish Official Singles Chart (where PSB have 3 Number 1: It's a Sin, Always...

I finally got a hold of 100 lyrics and a poem and found the introduction very interesting. It's the closest we got to a memoir.
Anyway, what really got to me was Neil's songwriting and near musical career in the 70's. So what if...

Dust got a record deal in 1972 and released an album before Neil...

I dawned on me that PSB were the very first to be rickrolled. All the way back at the end of summer 1987 when What have I done to deserve this? would become nr 1 on the UK singles chart but then came Never gonna give you up...

Then came the revenge in the epic battle for christmas nr 1 in 1987 where PSB beat Astley.

I...

Apologies if this has been posted before, but has anyone asked their Amazon Alexa 'who is your favourite band?'
:D

I read 100 lyrics & a poem and is struck by the comment to ICHH on page 87 my friend was beaten up by the homophobic occupants of the flat below him .
We're talking about an AIDS-struck man near his death beaten up by his own neighbours. Truly horrifying times we've lived through.
And at the same...

Anybody shared the affinity for Swedish radio chart Tracks on Saturday afternoons?
I was glued every week to the countdown on Tracks, the weekly radio chart as voted by the listeners, who were everybody in those days.

Tracks was THE way to get hold of all the good music in the 80's and 90's.

West End girls recently surpassed 100 million views on YouTube. And It's A Sin will do so in a few days. I thought it would be interesting to see how their videos rank in terms of YouTube views. This only counts views from the official Pet Shop Boys YouTube account. Rent, Absolutely Fabulous and...

I have always loved the disco of Johan Agebjörn and his work with Sally Shapiro. For those that don't know Sally Shapiro, check out her albums that Johan Agebjörn wrote and produced:

Disco Romance:
My Guilty Pleasure:

And the remix albums:

Remix Romance Vol. 1:
Remix Romance Vol. 2:

For the sake of information, and to all the completists and analytics I spotted a new West End girls cover.
My Spotify radar suggested it to me.

West End girls cover

Okay, so this is a tad stalkerish but this is a video of Chris' brother (ok I am bored in lockdown!)

It's funny to see the similarities in the way they speak :-) Apart from that the video is very boring unless you are into labels!

Does anyone have or can point me to hi-res scans of the Discography cover, back and front? Ideally the LP version?

Thank you - any help really appreciated.

I made a new Pet Shop boys remix - The Samurai In Autumn (Pepster Remix)
Enjoy

Type Pet Shop Boys in the jukebox sampler to listen to AI generated music in their style. We don't need them anymore.

PS: a YouTube tutorial in case anyone wants to try:

Hello all.

I have a weird question. At Glastonbury, when Tennant and Lowe performed with The Killers, Tennant was wearing this rather cool dark coat. It has this very unique badge on the back that said something like, erm, nononononono.

There's a picture of it at the above link.

Tomorrow would have been the first date on the PSB/NO Unity Tour.
