Pet Shop Boys Community

Hi, everybody. (Or as I'd say in most local greetings, Hey, y'all. )

I've been a Pet Shop Boys fan since first hearing West End Girls on the syndicated radio show Future Hits on KZ106 out of Chattanooga, Tennessee. (I grew up in a tiny town in northeastern Alabama, about an hour's drive from...

Hi there!

My name is Miguel. I'm a 32yo musician and HUGE Pet Shop Boys fan based in Madrid (Spain). I was lucky enough to see PSB perform live quite a few times (around ten, if my mind doesn't trick me), but my last was in 2010... Let's say I cannot wait to see them again.

I hope to have fun...

Well hello folks.

Hi fellow Petheads. I have to say it's fantastic to be posting on this forum. I've been a huge fan for over 30 years and have seen the band 57 times live! It's taken me a long time to find this forum and I'm so glad I have.

Hi everyone!

My name is Holger. I'm a 34 year old german, living in Hungary for over three and a half years and working in Austria for the same time.

Although I bought my first PSB album ( Nightlife ) back in 1999, and later also the Further Listening re-issues, I wasn't really a hardcore fan...

I am a new member from Italy, i signed in June to discuss about first impressions on Electric but I thought I never received the confirmation. I realized just today, while checkin old mails, that I actually received it a few days later. :lol: :lol:
Nevermind, nice to meet you all.

Hello all members !
My name is Agnieszka, I came from Poland. I would like to contact with other fans PSB on this forum or on my private email. Greetings :arrow:

I am not a bot - I think.

I've been lurking for a while, reading thru the old threads, and decided it was time to register. I might have some questions for you later. :wink:

I'm in Johannesburg and am curious whether there are any other forum members from ZA that post here.

Hi, my name is Paul.
I'm from East Anglia, near Wisbech, and am 39 years old.
I first heard Pet Shop Boys in 1987 at the age of 11-12, when my brother played me the Actually album. I've been a fan ever since.
I try to buy all vinyl singles and CD singles and albums, inevitable downloads too....

Hi guys!

My name is Álex, I'm Spanish but living in Frankfurt, Germany. I had come across the forum before but never registered until a lovely Icelander that I met at the Proms suggested I should drop by. Thanks, baddijo, and here I am!

I just finished editing the BBC broadcast of the performance...

... exciting I know. (Still bearded too!)

Hi to everyone! Well, as you can probably see on my profile, I'm a Pethead (that's how we call each others?) from Barcelona, Spain. I decided to sign up in the Community because it's always great to have a place to discuss about my favourite band.

I'm a very recent fan; although I knew their...

Hello all!

My name is Marc, and I have been a PSB fan since Actually came out in 1987. MY favorite songs are Integral, I want a lover, Go west, In the night, I didn't get where I am today, After the event, It's a sin, Left to my own devices, and many more. I'm just looking to chat with some folks,...

Helo, I am a fan of Psb from West End Girls. They are the soundband of my live.

Hello I'm Pieter. I've been a pethead since the purchase of my first Pet Shop Boys album: Introspective (1988). I think I bought it almost one year after the release. The years before that, I was already well aware of their existing, with Suburbia, It's A Sin and Always On My Mind hearing on the...

Hi!

My name's Miguel and I'm from Portugal.
I've been a pethead since the Release album.

Hello fellow petheads! I live in the United States -- currently in rural Illinois. I'm a Professor of Psychology specializing in child clinical. I've been a huge PSB fan since West End Girls came out when I was a teen; they became my favorites when I heard Left to My Own Devices, which remains my...

I've been around the forum for years... so here's the face behind Zog (with some disco lighting effects for good measure ;) )

Just wanted to say HI to the forum. Been a fan since the beginning and still am. Not sure why I haven't registered here before but better late than never.
Born '71, from Sweden, got three kids (2x8 and 10 years) that I have every second week = more time to be on forums and spend time doin nothing...

Hello there,

I would like to introduce myself here - I've been a fan since I first got into music in the 80s when Always on my mind caught my ear. Seen them quite a few times in concert and looking forward to the O2 in June! Not met many other fans apart from at concerts, so now I have a bit more...

I listened to a lot of synth-pop in the 80's and techno/electronic/house through the 90's. I had all the PSB up to Bilingual. But, it was a few years ago I was in Ameoba records and picked up Nightlife, Release, Fundamental on a whim. I thought wow! they're still at it! Yes came out a couple months...

Like several others, I have been lurking for a while and decided to take the plunge when I heard In His Imagination, for some reason. It's true to say that PSB have been a joy of my life since West End Girls, despite the hiccup that was Nightlife...Have seen every tour they have ever done; still...

Hi PSB world. Not too sure why it's taken me so long to join up on here since i've been a fan since Actually :oops: . Still i'm here now.

Being boring

I live in Northern BC, Canada, about a 15 hour drive from Vancouver. I loved PSB in the 80's and early 90's, but, as in America, their airplay here just vanished.
One day as I'm channelsurfing I see on the HDNet channel a PSB concert called Pandemonium . I watch, transfixed, as they perform great...

hi guys my first visit here, check out my psb vinyl only mix on mixcloud i did the other day. ranging from old and new , here is the link thanks

I've been reading for ages, but not posting.

Prepare for a sea of positivity...

Hello, PSB community! I've been a lurker here for well over three years, and decided that I might as well join in.

I was already getting ready for college when I first heard Pet Shop Boys in 1986. At that time I would make my own weekly Top 50 chart similar to the Billboard Top 40, but...

Hello all Petheads:) I am Deniz, which means Sea in English. I live in Istanbul, Turkey. I have been reading the forum for one and half year and am happy to be a new member of this great community which one of the best bands in the world truly deserves.

I am a relatively new Pet Shop Boys convert....

:mrgreen:

Hi,
New to this forum but an old PSB fan!
I bought the 12 of 'West End Girls' the week it hit no. 1 in the NZ charts and have never looked back since, buying every single in whatever format I could get over here (and was happy to get the CD single of 'Winner' in the letter box last week)
I'm...

Hi folks!

I am- surprise surprise- a petshopboys fan...and- surprise surprise- I`m german :mrgreen: .

So to all who like to talk about the petshopboys music, especially about used synths, samples, the art of mixing in their songs- I`m your talk-buddy. Yes, I do electronic music myself. No, it`s...

Hi all,

Made a few other posts, thought I'd drop in here.

I'm Katie from Berkshire. Been a big fan of the PSB since West End girls and the passion keeps growing although I'm ashamed to say I have never seen them live (I don't do live gigs much).

Hard to pin down favourite songs but let's try:
Red Letter...

Hi, I'm Nervously, name chosen partly because it's one of my favourite songs and partly because I hesitate to shove my oar in on message boards. I'm from the UK, and the first record of theirs I heard was Actually.
But here are my feelings about each of their albums in no more than three words:...

Hi,

I'm living London - I even think I may have partly moved there partly because of the PSB influence growing up in the 80s!

Fave songs.... Hard to pick, but Being Boring of course, This must be the place...., Love comes quickly, Luna Park (fave new-ish one), Kings Cross, and nearly anything...

I'm very new to this forum and to forums in general, it's not something I've really stumbled upon until now. I've always tried to avoid a pc outside work but since I've sold my soul to Apple I've been drawn into this whole new world.

Anyway, I digress. Consequently, this is the first PSB release...

Hi! I finally got my account activated today. I chose the username FormerEnfantT (Terrible) because I remembered that when I was in first grade, I behaved very badly, but I decided to change and I became the teachers' favorite student :dance: I also chose this name because, in my opinion, 'The...

I've been a fan of the PSB's since the beginning. Love their music, and their eccentricity. It makes me laugh. Only seen them once many years ago at Wembley Arena, wish I'd seen them when they headlined Latitude. Not the first forum I've ever joined but not had good experiences unfortunately so...

Hi from Germany! :) I'm 39 years old and a fan since West End Girls . I love their unique hi-energy sounds, mixed with orchestral parts, like in It's A Sin or Left To My Own Devices . I play the piano and synth myself, and own some sheet music from the PSB - and it's admirable how the boys can let...

Hi, finally I found PSB forum (lol) Was here all the time but I just have never realized of what's about :wall: . But... I'm here now :) :clap: :dance:

Long time 'lurker' on the forum finally joined in. Liked the sound from EMI West End Girls but only caved in with Actually. Soon bought the back catalogue. PSB were the first artists to introduce me to the value of the single in it's own right, before then had just bought what I liked from the...

Hello

I'm a new member of this forum from Helsinki, Finland, but I've been a fan of the band for almost twenty years...
I was first drawn to the classics like It's a Sin, and the first PSB album I bought was Very back in 1993.

I'm always looking forward to hearing new material from the guys. 8)

I'm Shyla and I'm 32. I've been aware of PSB since I was a kid. I remember liking What Have I Done To Deserve This? and thinking it was a cool video and song. Became more of a die-hard fan in the past couple of years. I don't think they're even capable of creating a bad song. Hearing PSB always...

Hello everyone,

I'm a 25-year-old student from Germany and have been a PSB fan since 2003. PopArt was my first PSB album and I was hooked.

I love the 80s!

Nice forum, btw. Looking forward to discussing PSB-related topics:)

Hello there.

I'm obviously a big Pet Shop Boys fan and have had my covers album(s) marvellously reviewed by peeps on here, so I thought I'd say hi. Give a bit of a person to the name, I suppose.

So, hi!

Erm, what else... I've been a big fan of Pet Shop Boys since Very, when I was about 13 and...

Hi all Petheads. I've been a PSB fan since 1987 and the best thing I like about them is the potential for someone's favourite song. Where most artists have half a dozen potentials the pets have loads. Could you argue if one person said West End Girls and the next person said Can you forgive her ?...
