He's taken all the best bits from the introspective version of Always and edited them into this monster.

I wonder if Chris and Neil know about it....

Re: 1987: Chris and Neil are winding up a three-week stint in South London and Clacton filming It Couldn't Happen Here

Does anyone know which South london locations were used?

Stumbled on this a few mins ago ... will watch it properly when I have a moment - those dishes won't wash themselves.

This week I’ve notice a few reviews for the new Lust for Youth album, have been making comparisons to the Pet Shop Boys. So I decided to give it a listen, and I’m so glad I did. It’s definitely my favourite album so far this year, and will just about keep me going until the new PSB album is...

Heard this yesterday and it very much reminded me of some kind of hybrid between Se a Vida E and It's not unusual from the Stonewall show. I like the aggressive horn section even if it borders a bit on camp, better than anything off Super IMO.

sounds rather like Patience of a saint to me...

Now I'm not in any way a professional DJ and can only play about on Virtual DJ but I thought I'd share this with everyone as I'm quite pleased with it.

I really wanted to get Agenda on CD but now that format seems to be sold out. I know Agenda is available on vinyl still but I'm not a vinyl person, having experienced the nightmare of vinyl in the '80s and embraced the CD-format wholeheartedly.

My first PSB release on CD was DJ Culture maxi...

Been listening to Noel Coward's original recording on Youtube. Did PSB finish their own version? The melody is delicious and would really suit Neil's voice...

What have i done to deserve this? (You Left Me With Nothing DEMO Mix)

Let me know what do you think about it? I stil think about intro, but anyway...
Thank you.

Maybe I was too harsh on Agenda.

What strikes me after repeated listens on decent speakers is how full of sound these tracks are compared to tracks on Super. While Stupidity and Rich aren't traditional electro-PSB, they do have a lot of PSB musical elements floating along through the tracks....

So I've noticed for a while that Annually (w Agenda CD) has been sold out. It's a pity. Do you think they will manufacture more or is this is it?

Is it just me who was logged out and now cant log back in?

It let's me log in on my phone, but not my PC.

FADE IN: This Magic Moment (Jay and the Americans, 1969) :

This is a stop sign, of sorts, so it's written in red. From my personal perspective, I tell the whole truth here because to do otherwise would reduce the power of song and thus the premise of this post. It's a bit like standing on...

The final results are in for my poll of the past two weeks, in which I asked my site visitors, , of the singles released by the Pet Shop Boys since May 2005, for which ones do they prefer a b-side song to the a-side (that is, the song meant to be the actual single ). And the b-side that received...

I was wondering if PSB were to release something for RSD next year what should they release
I would hope for a limited edition of RELENTLESS on 3 180gm vinyls in a box set or the same for INTROSPECTIVE.

I believe that the song Always on My Mind , while written by others, occupies a special place in the PSB repertoire and that it religiously follows in the musical footsteps of its ancestors. This post explains why.

The song was conceived by the late Wayne Carson, and in a Parade article, Vi-An...

Definitively Dusty

On the 3rd part of the recent Radio 2 documentary series ‘Definitively Dusty’ it sounds like what could possibly be a snippet of the original demo with Alee Willis on vocals? Might be wrong but I’ve not heard that before:-

15.03 is the start!

Not necessarily your favorite album/single/tour/video/book/et al. In fact you could hate whatever it is, but appreciate it's extreme artistic merit.

I would choose The Most Incredible Thing Demos. While they aren't the most amazing listen, I am very impressed that they (mostly Chris?) were able...

If the songwriters were influenced by the ideas of their antecedents, then they took those ideas, put their unique signature to them, gave them consequence, and pushed them forward through time into the cultural bloodstream, inspiring other artists and writers along that timeline who would become...

Hey there! Because I have an extremely busy Easter weekend ahead of me, I've decided to end my current Pet Shop Boys poll and deploy my new one roughly 12 hours earlier than usual this weekend. What that means is that for my site visitors here in the Western Hemisphere, my survey-changeover will...

I've divided this long post into three parts. This is Part I, the Introduction. So, let's begin.

Giddy for having nabbed the top cop in Porter County, my mother married my dad in 1939; shortly
thereafter, worldwide war would break out. I came along in '43. No one then, including them, could

This post explains why I love the PSB Mexico City production of Cubism (2007).

First, the camera captures the electricity of the audience right out of the gate and keeps it up
throughout the show. The close-ups are particularly affecting, and when the audience knows the
words...well... sing...

Yates' work could easily be a thematic antecedent of Suburbia , but let's look more closely for some
common threads in these selected lines from the song that might point more clearly toward its ideational forebearers.
