Re: 'Stranger in Moscow', why I think PSB should work on it. Pay attention to the lyrics.

How do you know what the political situation is in Russia now?))) From the BBC? They will tell you all sorts of things. Gays again... What do gays have to do with it, no one even mentions them here.
It's funny that Western propaganda paints some absolutely incomprehensible image of Russia. If you ...

Re: This Is Navalny - Benefit concert

You know what the Chinese are saying about the US threatening them with sanctions and duties?
They say so Chinese civilisation is 5,000 years old and the US is 300 years old. So don't make us laugh.

Regarding China and Russia. China has influence primarily in the Asian region. They have a huge ...

Re: This Is Navalny - Benefit concert

In fact, everyone is tired of the war and all that is going on around us, but we are still not the ones making the decisions.

The war in Ukraine was a shock for all of us.
Considering that millions of people have relatives in Ukraine.

Re: This Is Navalny - Benefit concert



Several things can be true - Putin being a massive evil in the world, and you being a jerk towards a misguided and naive forum member. If you're aware that Russia is a dictatorship, then you're surely aware how easy it is to rig polls and elections to prove whatever the hell you want, such as ...

Re: This Is Navalny - Benefit concert


Please stop talking about Russia in any way resembling a real country. You know, and you know that we know that you know that Russia is a waste land with resources stolen by a genocidal dictator waging a genocidal war and that most people in Russia supports it. None of your whataboutism whatsoever ...

Re: This Is Navalny - Benefit concert


The criminal problem in your country is the oligarchs who run it for themselves. Of course many other countries also run that way, perhaps increasingly so.

There is always crime here, but it’s not especially caused by immigrants; migrants are no more likely to be criminals here than people born ...

Parkol, you are welcome here in the UK. No need to be stirring up anti-immigrant feeling here to divert from Putin’s crimes.

Oh… another one. Migrants aren’t the problem, inequality and hate and fear are. Beware millionaires and billionaires telling you that migrants, jews, muslims, women ...

Re: This Is Navalny - Benefit concert


They don't care.

They probably do care. They just perhaps don't feel a personal responsibility.

PSB were a western band that actively promoted Russia. For them to be so clear that they still love Russia, but stand against Putin, is obviously very personal and important to them.

Now I see ...

Re: This Is Navalny - Benefit concert

Why doesn't Depeche Mode, Erasure or Duran Duran care what happens in Russia? They don't care. They don't have Ukrainian flags on their websites. No Oasis, Pulp, Blur, Suede, Coldplay and so on, nobody posts anything and nobody says anything. Why?
Option 1.
Because time will pass and they will come ...

Re: NONETHELESS - The reviews of the members of Pet Shop Boys Community

It's been a year and I listen to songs from this album all the time. I finally bought the vinyl, I was expecting that they would bring 3 vinyls with bonuses to Russia, but in Russia it costs 150 Euro. I bought the transparent one and listen to it with pleasure.
New London Boy sounds the best in my ...

Re: NONETHELESS - The reviews of the members of Pet Shop Boys Community

I was just now re-listening to Super for the first time in many months and of course realized how bad it is in sound and production. compared to James Ford's work.
It's just such a different level. How did PSB manage to make three albums with Price?
All those Groovy songs. Undertow, Burn. they're ...

Re: Posters - A question about hanging the PSB on your wall


I just saw one of these Swedish posters on sale on Ebay yesterday!


It was a concert at Skansen. I had to hide the poster under my T-shirt, as I tore it off right in the center of Stockholm. This poster is very nice and atmospheric. The design is super. It has been with me for many phases of my ...

Re: Posters - A question about hanging the PSB on your wall

I ripped this poster down in Stockholm in 2002. Someone drew a penis on the poster with a pen, but I managed to erase it. I've always had it leaning against the wall for over 20 years.

Re: Blue vinyl Discography reissue 30 May

The manager (Angela Becker) of the Pet Shop Boys has been honored with an award. I can't figure out why.
They should have released vinyl remasters, Relentless, B-sides 20 years ago, if not earlier, while it was still relevant. Now many fans are already gone, many have grown up and lost interest. But ...

Re: Guardian article - Russia


Surely Parkol if you had an Emanuel Macron candidate to vote for in your country instead the homegrown grassfed archetype gangster, you'd chosen to go west? I don't think Neil means to discourage or mock the russian people, just saddened by the lack of progress. If asked he'd say the same about ...
