Pet Shop Boys Community

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:

Neil's interesting interview on the Guardian Web site today contained some references to the new album. I was surprised at how willing he was to drop in tidbits about that as I was under the impression that we were still very much between albums, but it seems clear that this has now progressed. I...

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

Actually:

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?

Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current poll, which asks two questions about the inevitable but hopefully still far-off final Pet Shop Boys studio album:

1. Would you prefer the final song on the final PSB album to be an uptempo stomper or a quieter, more comtemplative...

I don't know how I missed this - I may even have been there - oops! But I had no idea that THIS was the set list -

Bolshy won round 1. But now the competition gets more interesting.

Winner is the album version, no remixes should be brought into consideration.

''The one where the grandee of pop encounters the bright young thing. It’s still a phenomenon on albums, especially in the US, where grizzled, wizened veterans still deploy the services of younger artists to appear alongside them as courtiers at the throne of the old monarch. But the better version...

It sounds strange, isn't it?. But I'd like PSB could surprise us.

I mean, what do you expect from PSB after the third album of the triology. Maybe an album with ballads, maybe a project similar to a ballet or the typical cultural PSB thing.

I don't know but I'd like te be surprised. I mean, PSB...

Just found this silicone trivet in Home Bargains for £1.00. Looks strangely familiar...

Not really :lol:

Enjoying the end of summer. Hope you are too! Neil xEnjoying the end of summer. Hope you are too! Neil x

In my view, this track gets way too much duff.

Either listeners feel the track doesn't fit in, or that the single mix is superior, or both. Or they don't care for new jack swing.

To me, though, this is ultra classico PSB. You get the biting social wit and commentary, which while still present in...

The final results are in for poll of the past two weeks, in which I asked my site visitors to pick their favorite Pet Shop Boys-written song on the subject of lost love. And the song that received the most votes -- by a very wide margin, receiving more votes than the next three runners-up combined...

I wonder what the filming on 27 and 28 July 2018 at the Royal Opera House is going to end up being? DVD? Maybe a BBC Special? Something bigger? It's great we will have this captured on film. I can't remember...was the Electric show filmed and then shown on a TV Special?

Hey all,

Have just seen this for sale on eBay starting at £350. It also appears in the 'completed/sold' items by a different member.

I'm a big fan of the whole Very era and was drawn to this, but wanted to get the opinions of people on here first.
The autographs look real to me, but the award...

The classic series is back ya'll. Vote and discuss. New album only 22 months away.

Marshall Jefferson reckons that he was responsible for It's Alright.

I wonder if she will ever sample them?
