Pet Shop Boys Community

Hello there! I'm from Russia (so excuse me my english) and I'm gay. You know, here in Russia, we don't have only homophobia and show but bankers as well. For example - Oleg Tinkov, billionaire, owner of Tinkoff Bank.

In 2016 Tikoff Bank launched on-line game. Very funny. The player must survive...

Does anyone know if the cover of Battleship Potemkin was at some point changed from the original, which was a photo of the ocean, tinted red, to a close-up black and white photo of a face showing shock (presumably a still from the movie)?

The face cover does not appear anywhere at Discogs.com but...

Is the video on the Flamboyant maxi CD' CDRS 6629 one of those little Flash-type videos whose size when played on a normal full-size computer is roughly in the in 7x12cm range (maybe even smaller) or is it more like a video on an actual normal dvd?

--> because I'm 99% certain that 2004 was before...

It's funny to see the way PSB were involved in the best music festivals of the world these last two decades, remembering the way they rejected going on tour in the early days.

They have been really successful at that point because I think public eye considers they are Pop Legends. But I think it's...

:D :clap: Amazon are now selling the 2 CD Edition of the new album Elysium for just £9.97 for those who have n't bought it yet.

Hi,

This is quite a long shot and not necessarily the right place to ask but i figured i'd try.

I'm looking to get the license rights on a picture that Eric Watson took. I believe his children (Eugene and Willa) might be the current copyright holders.

I found their social media but i'd like a...

Many apologies if this has been covered before, but...

What is the female vocal sample in the 'chorus' from We Came From Outer Space? After hearing Doctorin' the House by Coldcut/Yazz I'm convinced it's been lifted from there.

There is a pic of Neil with a book. Do you know the name of the book?

How about listing your honed and polished favourite Pet Shop Boys Playlists? I'm interested in any themes or moods and your explanations - not just a 'My Favourite Tracks'.

I started organizing my music into playlists, and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some good (official) remixes. I pretty much have every single official remix, but I would like a condensed list :P

Thanks in advanced!

Dear friends,

I am writing you on behalf of the TRANSFORMED BY: project -
People are influenced, changed and transformed by their environment. The music we love, the films we discuss, the jobs we are devoted to or simply tolerate affect who we are, what we wear, how we speak, what we think and...

I very much enjoyed Duran Duran Night on BBC Four last Friday evening. I wonder if the Beeb would ever consider doing something for PSB in a similar vein?

PSB have such a rich visual archive for a band (a film, a recorded ballet, live tours), they would lend themselves to such an evening. After...

Hi all, I'm obviously new and will post a proper intro soon...and am so bummed to see someone has already found the He came to look at my synthesizer interview :wink: I know (Ian) Molly Meldrum who was interviewing them, I plan to ask how the heck he missed what was the best part of the interview!...

There's a piece on the state of the British High street today in the Guardian and how its been written about in music.

The final results are in for my poll of the past two weeks, in which I asked my site visitors whether they would like for the Pet Shop Boys ever to release a Disco 5 album. And the response that received the most votes was:

* Yes, absolutely! chosen by 48.2% of the voters.

Roughly at about 48mins in a brief description about Electronic and the PSB.

Bumped into that on Amazon today... Usually Amazon describes an item as Currently Unavailable when something has been released in the past and it is out of stock OR.... when something is due for a release and they expect to have more info.... :o :o

Being Boring!

As you know PSB was Number 1 with the track Heart in 1988 in UK

As Spaniard, I was looking for the Number Ones of PSB in Spain. I knew there were 3 but I was unhappy because I knew Heart had been Number 2.

The thing is I didn't knew who was the artist and hit that made them not have Heart's...

Apologies if this has been discussed before (I am very new to the forum), but has PSB ever been reported talking about Leonard Cohen and what they think of him at all?

I've recently got into Cohen and his late 80's album I'm Your Man is very PSB in places in terms of style and lyrical...

First off... this is great footage.

Second.... the coy grin on Chris' face when Neil said he came by to look at my synthesizer is telling, I'm sorry.

Not to be crass, but.... yeah he did!

The final results are in for my poll of the past week, in which I asked my site visitors about the extent to which they believe visual elements (as opposed to musical ones) were critical to the success of the Pet Shop Boys. And the response that received the most votes was:

Sorry if its already been posted.

Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current poll, which asks your opinion of the importance of visual style or design -- graphics, artwork, clothing, costuming, staging, videos, and the like, as opposed to purely musical factors -- to the success of the Pet Shop Boys. If you...

What if Kim Jong-un's decisions over the last half-a-year (sending athletes to Olympics in South Korea, meetings with the South Korean leader and Trump and softening of nuclear rhetoric) were in fact inspired by listening to The dictator decides ? :)

The final results are in for my poll of the past week, in which I asked my site visitors to choose their favorite Boys band (that is, a band with Boys or Boyz in their name) aside from the Pet Shop Boys. And the response that received the most votes was:

* Actually, I can't say I like any 'Boys'...

Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current poll, which asks you to pick your favorite Boys band -- that is, a musical group with Boys (plural) in their name -- aside from the Pet Shop Boys themselves, of course.

Good morning.
Are there any good record shops in Dublin for a PSB fan like me? I'm visiting Dublin, and Ireland in general, in the next weeks.

Thank you

French Interview where there is a lot of (losing) money questions. Intersesting is that their less selling album is 700'000 ex.

For any given single, take into account all edits, b-sides, mixes, mixes and more mixes. CD, vinyl, cassette, MD, DVD, and put them all on a playlist. Which would be the single that would be most excruciating to sit through all of it? Do not count promo mixes and do not count unreleased and...

The final results are in for my poll of the past week, in which I asked my site visitors whether they agree with Neil's assessment that It Doesn't Often Snow at Christmas is the best song that he and Chris wrote in the 1990s. And the response that received a majority of the votes was:

* No. It's...

It deserves its own post:

Does anybody know from which live show (?) this picture of Neil come from? I found it a long time ago somewhere
on the internet and found his outfit interesting. Unfortunately, there wasn't any description, that's why I'm asking
here. I would highly appreciate it if someone can help me out. Thanks!

Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current poll, which asks whether you agree with Neil's assertion (in the Nightlife reissue booklet) that It Doesn't Often Snow at Christmas is the best song that he and Chris wrote in the 1990s.
