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...
Why has this song never been played live? :grumble:
I can't understand why this song doesn't even have any official remixes or extended mix? To me it would of made a way better single than 'So Hard' (A song that drags down Behaviour!)
The song is highly relevant now, the lyrics are just as...

The BFI have today released a newly remastered 4K version of the original trailer for the Pet Shop Boys feature film “It Couldn’t Happen Here”. Unavailable for over 30 years, the limited edition DVD/Blu-ray is out on June 15th and can be pre-ordered now
Trailer:

Very strange trailer. Was it some comedy movie? Some surreal thing? I have never care about becoming familiar with this production as it seemed to be completely patchy and weird in a bad way. Perhaps now I could try to fix this initial prejudice.
My Wife and daughter were watching BGT tonight( I think they recorded it from yesterday). Anyway I was in an adjoining room and heard It’s a Sin in the background. It turns out a dance group used it for an act.
Always pleasant to hear a Psb tune even in a different form.

It's a great cover version, If anyone is interested in getting a copy of this, it's by Hidden Citizens and is available on Itunes :-)

The sweet lyric video for I don't wanna made me think of PSB's videos over their career. I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that there was a general perception that their videos were never up to the quality of their singles - which I totally disagree with. I think that more often than not...

The Left to My Own Devices video is utter garbage imho. It was an interesting concept but staring up at Neil and Chris' crotches through a clear perspex floor isnt my idea of music video greatness.
I can definitely see the concept - an arty, moody video to suit the song but it does seem quite...

I guess it was exactly the same as the CD, apart from lots and lots of bird sounds over the top? I was hoping for something a little more live, given the mention of performers, however anything promoting them and a little bit different is all good :-)

I wouldn't normally suggest this kind of thing but wouldn't it be great if the Pets released a new version of It's alright? Having seen Chris's video, I reckon a lot of that would sound great in a new arrangement. Maybe they could just release it digitally. OK, it's a bit of a cash-in on tragedy...
Sorry if this has been posted before, a search didn't bring anything up.
Anyway, so I was listening to the audio commentary on PopArt yesterday and noticed Neil and Chris speaking about an unrated version of the Drunk video. Anyone know if this is available anywhere online to watch? And, while I'm...

Last post
Think it's an annoying lyric. It sounds odd and doesn't let you make sense of it. I thought it meant 'The land of dreams is better for...' Good album though. I had a good time with it buying coffee from McDonalds.
the drum programming is interesting, especially in the second part when it goes all a bit contemporary pop.
I find it very similar to the one in Betrayed from 24 years ago.
Had PSB on shuffle on the evening commute and the absolute joy that is Where the streets have no name popped up. Massive tune!
I don't think this one gets the love it deserves - yes it's a cover but the boys did such a great job on it and made this their own.
Other covers get all the glory -...

Bet She's Not Your Girlfriend - Written about George Michael
Is that true?
I always imagined Neil wrote it about himself, and this is validated from one of the radio documentaries where describes the exact situation happening in his life.
Are you just speculating?

At Rock Bottom (the last PSB B-Side) has a lot of musical references to Kariya Let Me Love You For Tonight .
It can't be only a coincidence, and to be honest I thought they credited Kariya song's authors for their song.

'Let Me Love You' feels like core freestyle. At Rock Bottom, though has an intro and initial tune similar to it, it feels like a stripped down and simplified version of the freestyle classic.
The final results are in for my poll of the past week, in which I asked my site visitors to rank the three albums of the Pet Shop Boys' Stuart Price trilogy. And the ranking chosen by the plurality of voters for each album was:

* Hotspot - The...
Last post
of course, all the albums have songs of varying degrees of
'good' and 'bad' obviously.
my preference is the earlier albums, that had a lot more
songs that i like than i disliked. i also liked the quality, tone,
and other aspects (mixes, videos) too.
NOTE: this thread will be used to introduce the album result of Hotspot in every country. Help us to add the results from the albums official charts around the world.

I think it's going to be a reasonable debate about that.

As I type this OMD's 1991 hit Pandora's Box (It's a Long, Long Way) is playing on the radio. Has anyone else noticed how similar the instrumentation of Was It Worth It? is to this song? They really remind me of each other. The OMD song came out first.

You heard it hear first, the boys are hard at work on a new version of Paninaro with some tweaked lyrics to reflect modern life (Social media etc)
