Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current poll, which asks you to rank the Pet Shop Boys' first five studio albums -- what many music critics regard as their classic or golden era, from Please through Very -- from #1 to #5, with #1 being the one that you think is the best...

Please delete.

The final results are in for my poll of the past week, in which I asked my site visitors how they would rank the Pet Shop Boys' first five albums -- what many if not most music critics regard as their classic era -- from #1 to #5, with #1 being the best of the bunch. And the album that received the...

I thought we should have a list of books which mention the Pet Shop Boys.

Of course we start with Wayne's site list:

Spotted these on amazon.in
Pet Shop Boys Unauthorized & Uncensored:

Hollywood: Influential Singers Biographies Vol.8:

Though i don't wish to buy the above two.

Have spotted...

The final results are in for my poll of the past week, in which I asked my site visitors to choose the Pet Shop Boys collaboration listed on their own website's Collaborations page -- but which they haven't yet performed on tour -- that they would indeed most like to hear them perform live. And the...

For those in London, a screening this Wednesday, followed by (!!!) a Q&A with Jack Bond:

And forthcoming screenings, most also with Q&A:

An article in Spanish about the album:

I remember listening to Domino Dancing and thinking it sounded awful for me but then discover the second single Left to my own Devices and becabe a fan, I love the song. At that time the Neil's voice sounded to me a bit gay, I wasn't wrong, hehehe.

Happy...

Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current poll, which asks you to pick, of the individual songs (as opposed to entire albums) listed by the Pet Shop Boys on their official website's Collaborations page that they have not yet performed live on tour or during their occasional...

Hi,

Anyone point me to a good vinyl store in vegas that are likely to stock PSB stuff?

thanks

Nearly as good as Drico!

A great read.

Classic Pop Magazine - November 2018

Thought I'd share this with you. It's a playlist based on 'Disco' and 'Introspective' plus other contemporary tracks, because I've been listening to both those again a lot recently.

(Unless otherwise specified the version is that from 'Disco' or 'Introspective')

In the night
Left to my own...

The final results are in for my poll of the past week, in which I asked my site visitors to pick two Pet Shop Boys singles: (1) the one for which the song is the most better than its music video, and (2) the one in which the video is the most better than the song. And the single/video combos that...

‘It was the end of glam rock; everyone was moving on’: the co-founder of the Pet Shop Boys reflects on a Bryan Ferry poster he saw in 1974

Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current poll, which lists all of the Pet Shop Boys' singles that had music videos (which of course is most of them) and asks you to pick two: (1) the one in which the single is the most better than its video and (2) the one in which the...

The final results are in for my survey of the past two weeks, in which I asked my site visitors about the first-ever Pet Shop Boys product they ever bought, or at least that they ever owned. And the selection chosen by the largest number of voters was:

* The album Actually , cited by 16.7% of the...

Apologies if this has already been covered - I searched the forum to no avail. The official website notes on this day in 2011 Chris composed music for the German poem ‘Thoughts are free’. I’ve never heard it, was it released for any special event at all?

Could happen. She's a fan. She tweets about their lyrics. Who knows.

Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current survey, which asks you to dig back into your memory and name the first-ever Pet Shop Boys product (album, single, DVD, ticket, etc.) that you ever bought, or at least that you ever owned, such as if you received it as a gift. If you...

Lifesize! :shock:

Trevor Horn and his band have just announced on Facebook a live performance at Queen Elizabeth Hall on the 2nd of November, with several special guests TBA - any chance for another PSB cameo?

On BBC One show Friday 26/10 he talked about very old reviews of Culture Club and said Neil Tennant gave us a poor review in Smash Hits, the host said wow he’s the Pet Shop Boys now....it’s an old story but surprised when he mentioned it.

So this doesn't get lost in the main thread about Neil announcing a new book, here' a link to the interview the Guardian did with Neil:

The final results are in for my survey of the past two weeks, in which I asked my site visitors -- assuming that the video for Domino Dancing was a prominent factor in wrecking the Pet Shop Boys' success as a major mainstream singles act in the United States (admittedly, a highly debatable point)...

Late September 1993 found me in the midst of a four-year economics degree course. Whatever the charms of the IS-LM model, aggregate demand, and the backward-bending supply curve of labour, my obsession that autumn was far more compelling: the new Pet Shop Boys limited edition album, Very Relentless...

Hurry

The final results are in for my poll of the past two weeks, in which I asked my site visitors their retrospective assessment of the Pet Shop Boys' 1993 album Very in the wake of the silver anniversary of its release. And the response that received the most votes was:

* It may not be their absolute...

Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current poll, which asks you to choose your succinct assessment of the Pet Shop Boys' fifth studio album, Very , in the wake of its recent silver (25th) anniversary. If you haven't voted yet, please take a moment to visit my Commentary site...

Not sure this has been posted on this forum before, but this site has quite a few articles/reviews/interviews with the Boys in Select. For some reason the articles aren't chronological but nevertheless a great resource. The Dec 1990 review of Behaviour is the earliest entry.

Neil v Chris:

PSB v Erasure v DM:

West End girls v It's a sin:

Domino dancing v SAVE:

Interesting article about the old days. Nothing new anyway but I think is funny the job of Neil

Neil coming back to Smahs Htis for a day:

Chris coming back to Milton Keynes:

Hello. After 29 years of trying to remix Do I Have To? and it sounding crap, I finally turned a corner by doing it in the style of Jam & Spoons Trippomatic Fairytale mix of Young Offender.

It's over ten minutes long, but it doesn't get boring (I think it's too short :D ) I'd love to know what PSB...

So my 13 year old Pop Kid stumbled on the Relentless album today on my library .... and span it up.

It's so great to hear after ages - such a solid album. I'm currently bugged by mis-heard lyrics on The man who has everything.

The official lyrics only document the lines Neil sings but does anyone...

Usually a good read, especially the last year or so, with decent in depth features on the likes of Boy George, Kraftwerk, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, A-ha etc, as well as voting Erasures latest as 'best album' (I disagree, despite being a fan, but that's irrelevant here)

I thought it was concentrating...

Interesting article on the Paninari from my local clothes emporium Oi Polloi

The final results are in for my poll of the past two weeks, in which I asked my site visitors two questions about the inevitable (but hopefully not yet impending) final Pet Shop Boys studio album. First, in response to my question, Would you prefer the final song on the final PSB studio album to be...

Amazon have a fantastic deal on 2 of the Pet Shop Boys remastered vinyl albums, both Actually and Introspective are just £10.99

Introspective:

A steal, however, don't know how long they will be available at that price.

Bolshy has won twice in a row. But can it stand up to the new competition?
