Perfect for planespotters and trainspotters, two sound clips will help explain my experience with this
exquisite Pet Shop Boys remix. First , you will see and hear a KLM cargo jet about to take
off from MIA in heavy rain. Tune in about 6:30 to see the behemoth move into position on runway

It's a bit strange.

What's the difference between a photo and a film (which it is basically a photo in motion)?. Anyway, it's a curious thing.

Why is Agenda on CD not sold separately?

A simple question. Does anyone know why the CD Agenda is only available as a bundle with Annually?
A shame as I know many people, myself included who only want the CD, not Annually as well.

Front cover: Kraftwerk
Features a lengthy article on Pet Shop Boys and a reprint of an NME interview from december 1986. Interesting read!
Also features New Order, ZTT acts and everything just good in music.

Alternative is coming out way ahead in geowayne's poll. Pushing aside such mainstays as Disco and Discography, and even fan favorite Relentless.

Alternative has always been a favorite of mine, especially Disc 1 which is nearly unimpeachable from start to finish.

How does Alternative stack up...

Thanks...

Comparisons are a good way to get to the root of things. After listening to One More Chance for the first time, I thought of Just One More Chance. This was first heard on radio in 1931 and sung by crooner Bing Crosby. Yes, it's dated, but listen to the story. Then, listen to PSB's One More Chance....

Don't normally start these threads, but thought what the hell..

As we near the end of the Super Tour era I was thinking what would fans wish to see if they could decide a live set.. I wanted to put together a 'realistic' set that would appeal to both hard core fans and casuals who could say oh, I...

This post is about storytellers, or, more specifically, modes of storytelling, from a historical perspective. In the '40s, Francis Albert Sinatra becomes the quintessential storyteller of pop music. He spins a tale of time and place, mood, character and introspection. Forty years later, Chris Sean...

I know there is a post for that and I put the video on the Youtube post but I didn't know the existence of this interview and I don't know hom many of you have seen there. It was lovely to see The Bear there and the tricky questions of Chris Evans. Have you seen this interview before outside UK?...

Did anyone see the ‘pointless’ parody of our beloved PSB tonight? It was on BBC 1 at around 6.30pm. The programme is called ‘Pointless: the good, the bad and the bloopers’. I suppose you could get it on catch up here in the UK.

I see Neil is first to review Brett Anderson’s new memoirs.

Not good news...

This weekend NRK in Norway broadcasted a TV edit of the Inner Sanctum show. It had a different track order than the german one we got earlier, and it had end credits. So I guess this is the one that will be used by other broadcasters as well.

By the way, I spotted quite a serious typo in the...

Trevor Horn was on Graham Norton Radio show this morning and announced PSB playing a charity gig at Roundhouse on14th March

It’s a bit expensive

A few years ago, Neil picked some songs for his favourite fantasy album, I think in NME? It had a red sleeve designed by Farrow. Does anyone have a photo of it they could share please? Sorry the details are a bit sketchy..!

Well, let's do it!.

I notice that someone is selling an original press release for the first Disco album on eBay (for a ridiculous amount!). However, it’s interesting seeing the proposed track list including A man could get arrested.

Here is an interesting article that was published on the Comic Book Resources website today. Although I'm sure it's not a new bit of information for most on this forum, I do find the old photo of Neil on the second page interesting in the fact that I would not have recognised that as Neil Tennant...

After a screening of his Adam Ant film:

When Neil and Chris finish their concerts on tours, they try to find an anthemic and well known song to finish them. The most obvious closing songs are Go West and Always on my Mind . Sometimes they use West End Girls , Being Boring which don't work so fine (both are not fast songs) in my humble...

Just randomly came across these screen captures.

Memories, ahh, memories. :mrgreen:

Am I the only one to be very thankful to the Pet shop boys for their lyrics, which have made me improve my knowledge of English?
I'm always happy to check new words, and phrases, from their new songs, as recently with 'cronies', 'dumb cluck', and 'Hansard', I remember that the behaviour album was...

Apparently Chanel used two songs for their recent Spring/Summer 2015 fashion show. First Dior Homme and now Chanel. They really should consider doing music for one of the designers. It be so banging .

I think this is on topic given the recent output and discussion that has ensued.

From the Guardian

Have you ever met Neil Tennant, whose surname you borrowed for your Equity card?
Never. I’ve always been a huge Pet Shop Boys fan, so I’d love to. Although I might also be embarrassed about how my 16-year-old self stole his name. Hopefully, he wouldn’t charge me some sort of...

If Neil had posted about these issues on here, they'd have been moved to the part of the forum where snowflakes daren't venture. :shhh:

As shared on the other thread, I'm really enjoying the forgotten child (well the first 2 mins 30 seconds anyway). I'm struck by the production technique used on Neil's voice. Not something we've had from Stuart Price.

Also... is Pete Gleadall still on board ? Nothing on his twitter account...

Seeing as this has been a somewhat surreal week in the life of Pet Shop Boys, I'm sure I don't speak just for myself when I inquire of your thoughts on these latest offerings from Messrs Tennant & Lowe...

Your witty and incisive prose would be most welcome at this juncture..

...on why they chose not to produce the Agenda songs with Stuart Price? Possibly not to give away a preview of the sound of the new album? From what's been written here so far TFC might be slightly too delicate for his rather heavy-handed approach on production, but the other 3 songs seem to suit...

I have to admit I'm not surprising about this video. Some songs from PSB reminded me a bit that kind of look. Ponposity richness.

Read this good article, Neil and Chris put on the website, very interesting:

Another song will be made available #tomorrow, then one on Thursday and finally the fourth on Friday. #petshopboys @petshopboys Discussing the #EP, #NeilTennant said: “It contains three satirical songs and one rather sad song. I think it’s because of the times we’re living through.” The 4 tracks...
