I know yesterday (13th March) was the first time a new PSB track had been played in ages, but (as per the long standing forum rules) in future all public requests for copies of any new track, PSB or otherwise, will be deleted and/or threads containing requests closed. We will officially...
Cachitos de Hierro y Plomo is a music show of TVE-2 that uses old footage of music perfomances in the history of Spanish tv. The entire catalogue is huge, you can watch live perfomance of almost every kind of artist. Something similar BBC has with Top of the Pops but even bigger because Spanish TV...

Hello,
This music TV show is a big shame, and comments were completely manipulated in order to attack people that not think like the government. Apart of demonstrate a big fault of knowledge about PSB. Not funny.
Specialist subject of Hacker the Dog (don't ask) tonight on bbc1's Mastermind. Embarrassingly easy questions. Probably up on iplayer by the end of the night....

Haha, nice! The guy from Pound Shop Boys also does Hacker T. Dog? I never knew
It's not a real extended version visually but it works really fine. It uses some footage from the behind the scenes video and the proper video of Monkey Business.
If you haven't seen before, you'll like it. Let's enjoy!

That diskomiks is really good, just dawned on me. Felt a slight breeze from the golden age of the extended mixes.
Really hoping that 2021 marks the start of the end of Covid-19, as (in this arsehole-run country, certainly) we're back to it being pretty much as bad as it ever was. It's boring, tiring and a constant worry on so many levels.
Even more annoying is I was on this show a few years back and got Spanish Body parts :grumble: :grumble:

LOL I thought from the title this would be some negative posting.
What a silly name for a game show.
Anyway so the context of this thread is some PSB questions were used on a quiz show.
Personally I don't care. This is akin to a small group of strangers discussing PSB amongst themselves, it...
Not a moan, more an observation. Looking at the UK Top 40 this week and over 50% of it is Christmas songs. These will 99% be because of streaming. If you ask Alexa, Siri, Spotify etc to play Xmas Songs and overwhelmingly its always Mariah Carey's god-awful song that's streamed first, followed by...

Chart wise, its only really ten years old, which is probably not old enough to properly surface yet. Most of the top 20 look like older songs re-charting. Chris Rea wasn't even a top 40 hit when first released. Now its peaked at 11.
The chart is an abomination. A national institution thats been...
“I love the Pet Shop Boys!” Bruce @springsteen plays two PSB songs on his latest @SIRIUSXM radio show.

You're thinking of Bryan Adams. Bruce Springsteen was in fact best known for singing Baby One More Time .

The BPI has awarded the pet shop boys a few updates on their sales awards.
PopArt has been upgraded from gold to platinum status.
Ultimate has been awarded with a silver certification.
A few more could follow. :D
These sales awards are based purely on sales, not shipments. They are based on the...

Discography has (at last) been certified 2x Platinum for sales of 600,000 copies in the U.K
There is some “ confusion” to wheather that includes sales Pre 1994, since the current chart compiler didn’t start before 1994, and sales pre that has always been a bit sketchy, but we can safely say that...

At the beginning of 2020, Pet Shop Boys released the “Monkey business” single and video, followed by their “Hotspot” album, and then the “I don’t wanna” single. In February, Frances...
After the nice version of Comes as a Surprise , now Pacalo posted an amazing version in his youtube channel: Why Don't We Live Together? (New York 12'' Dance Mix #2)
Again, is this underground, never released original stuff or a fan-made mix using the multi-tracks?
Cheers

Does anyone know what instrument/synth and actual config of that bass line?
Pet Shop Boys today announce that they are releasing on YouTube a collection of their BBC TV performances recorded between 1985 and 2012. The first volume features ten classic PSB performances on Top of the Pops and The Old Grey Whistle Test from 1985 and 1986, all of which are now available to...

Of course, there is no jealousy like a 30 year grudge. From a man who’s read Some Kafkha, misinterpreted ALL of it and has taken it far too seriously, As well as being the exact double of Elizabeth Emmanuel (but without the taste) then that’s something. :eh:

With time on my hands, and inspired by the new edition of Annually, I’ve put together a couple Spotify playlists compiling 32 years of Neil and Chris’s favourite records, as documented in the pages of Literally and Annually, from the original 1988 Pet Shop Boys, annually to the present day.

Chris’s playlist is missing the brilliant Don’t Cry Tonight by Savage, as I’m sure that was in his selection from the original Annual from the 80s. I can’t remember the list from both Neil and Chris, not got the annual at hand.
It’s not listed in Annually. You may be thinking of their Back To Mine...
I was curious if any of you make edits of PSB tracks, either large or small.
I have at least a handful of their songs that I’ve edited, removing parts I feel impede my enjoyment of the song or sometimes mixing up parts of songs.
NOTE: I have no musical knowledge. I just know what I...

Greetings,
The only time I've bothered to do anything like this was to create a version of The Meeting for my wedding.
You have maybe heard this and discussed this before in another thread, but I just want to say that the songs in which Robbie has got help from Pet Shop Boys are really great songs. One of the best is No Regrets and of course Robbie's song We're the Pet Shop Boys is great. That was all i wanted to...
There are only two PSB albums where there are only Tennant/Lowe song writing credits: Behaviour and Relentless although Elysium (it's doubtful if Händel should be credited after 300 years) and Bilingual come close.
Now the task is to replace the songs with external songwriting with proper...

I think we’re both a bit autistic - OMG, I've been saying this about them for years!! It's likely what gives them their genius and drive and focus and loyalty but also makes them a bit stroppy and opinionated and difficult to work with. Not to mention...

A little off subject, but the show Atypical which is about a character with autism is a really nice binge watch show. Not sure how accurate it is, but I really enjoyed it.
Maybe as a follow on from the thread on people's top-5 artists, I wondered how PSB have placed in people's Spotify Wrapped? Especially in a year when they had a new album out.
Working from home for most of this year, I think I've probably listened to far more music on Spotify than ever before as...
It was posted on the Youtube section but I usually love to put here some particular things on a show or interview to talk about it. Different aspects are not very usual. This one comes from the Japanese TV Station (Fuji TV). It's not so easy to make an interview as you can see here after the first...

That’s on my “must watch” list!
But we see how the “ELITE” soundtrack gave Chvrches a whole new audience and turned a year-old non-single album track into a hit!
That's true. Elite is one of the most famous series in the world, so it's not strange this kind of things happen.
Still enjoying Hotspot here and love Hoping for a Miracle , but what on earth is that synthesized voice saying at the start and at intervals through the song? It's clearly saying some sort of words. Perhaps it's completely obvious and I'm the only other person in the world who doesn't get it, but...

It does sound like that, but I’d love to know how you’re so sure.
This photo is interesting to me. Siouxsie Sioux is such a pioneering artist. Punk will never die. I met her once in NYC. She was fierce.

This videO is on Youtube'S thread but as you know, I sometimes pick up some videos with its proper thread when I consider there is something peculiar on it. I think this is the case, many of you probably hadn't watched this video before.

ah now I understand why the giggles
that band was pretty hilarious, wonder if N&T had a in-joke about comparing them to themselves. Pretty much opposites - wonder if this also influenced them to go understated

Even if they both died simultaneously, they won’t get a number one. Michael Jackson, Prince,George Michael Bowie and Whitney have all died and didn’t get posthumous UK number one singles.

I happen to agree with this list (apart from that I would put Super ahead of Yes, which Simon Cowell ruined for me by mauling it.)
However, I suspect that this is a list for a wider electronic/electro music fan BASE than just the PSB ballad maniacs, which is not to say I don't...

As we head into another lockdown, I hope everyone is O.K. here in the Forum?

I'm on a couple PSB Facebook communities but I find the content can get a bit tiresome. I can be assured of some good info, and debate, right here, so long as it doesn't get nasty.
