Most underrated PSB song? I Didn’t Get Where I Am Today.

It should have been the triumphant first single off Release, storming the Top 10... instead it was tucked away as a b-side a few years after it was recorded.

I can only shake my head.



Retro.

Greetings,

Now here's a fun topic! I'm going to use Alternative and Format as my benchmark for what is and what is not a b-side.

1. In The Night
2. I Didn't Get Where I Am Today
3. Listening
4. Paninaro
5. Do I Have To?
6. I Get Excited (You Get Excited Too)
7. Bet She's Not Your Girlfriend

That's the stuff! Thanks for posting!

Was it just a UK thing, perhaps? Now I think about it, I don't think I ever bought a CD single in the UK. Once I got to the US, it was all jewel cases.

(If we're thinking in terms of the 20th Century...)

Cardboard CD singles were comparably ...

Greetings,



For a Very CD card case I wonder how hard it would be to have some kind of stamp in the card to emulate the Lego look and feel to some extent? The card stock would remain the same, just have little convex indented dots on the front. I think that could look really nice actually ...

Shipping costs are insane! £50 for the £22 BD/CD to be delivered to Australia. 😵

Forget that. I'll surveil eBay instead.

It's a shame Warner Australia are only picking up the CD (which I already have the original of) and the LP (which I don't really need), but not the BR/CD combo ...

Greetings,

Credit to whoever quipped "being boiling".

I hope that was one of you lot.

Discogs - 100%.

It has been incredible at helping me downsize my music (albeit not necessary PSB) collection!

Ugh... nothing ruins a CD like a digisleeve.

Is anyone else in the same boat and up the same creek without a paddle?

I'm in a different creek and have decided not to paddle. I ordered Dreamworld through Warner Australia who seem to handle the official Australian arm of their distribution. Whilst the note from the Pet Shop Boys ...

That's the 2nd "Due to circumstances beyond our control" in a week.

Suggestion: start taking control a bit more.

It has been a rough week for them. I can understand your sentiment too. Maybe it might be time for a bit of low-key song-writing or studio time... something which ...

Greetings,


Stop whining.

I'm not whining. In fact, if your comprehension skills were any good you would have noticed I was explicitly giving thanks for the quality control that sees their more "artistic" tracks find their way onto the albums, and the more "overt" tracks finding their way onto ...

Greetings,


Nothing abstruse about Bullet for Narcissus or The Dictator Decides, lol.

There's no "name dropping" for one thing, and that makes it a bit more generic, abstract and malleable to interpretation and interpolation.

Pet Shop Boys are at their best when they deploy subtle allusion ...

Greetings,


It will be a very long album track list if they should cover every tragic event globally. Some +40 tracks or more just for the basics - unfortunately. Album title "Depressed" ?
I for one am very thankful they keep their direct, naive "Guardian" style of politics off the albums (e.g ...

Greetings,

I find the whole "Why hasn't Neil sung a song about my favourite political cause?" line baffling.

Do we not remember that Pet Shop Boys once had a single called How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously? about how banal it is when popstars think that their opinions are somehow more ...
