Re: Potemkin release, special screenings and Neil Q and A

Thanks, wise to create a new thread for the Q&A.
I'm hoping we get some interesting insights about ICCH.
We'll see.

For the sake of conversation, who's going? To the screenings or double screening.
I would if I could but I'm not in the UK.

Re: Battleship Potempkin on vinyl and cd (2023 remaster)

Huh, I'm honestly surprised by the enthusiasm here.
To me this is quite underwhelming.
But a good release, nonetheless.
Of course the film and the soundtrack already exist, and yes in HD.
But the CD soundtrack doesn't perfectly sync with the film due to an edit on one of the tracks.
So now it will ...

Re: Chris using BlueSky...

That's pretty funny.
I like how in these periods of inactivity they're basically obligated to give random updates like this.
Having a whinge about air conditioning haha.
This post isn't particularly interesting for me. I think my favourite social media posts are when they go to an art exhibit.

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

I love the song. But feel the fast quipping vocals isn't really in the PSB style.
If they were to do this type of song, I'd prefer something new. They could try out an RnB fusion style genre.

I couldn't care less for the Russia subject. And to me, the song isn't at all relevant to the war in Ukraine.

Re: Neil on new album by Kae Tempest

I've listened to the album.
Sunshine on Catford is Neil's feature.

What do we think of it?
Neil's voice is so raspy. I hardly recognised him.
This must have been from that period where he lost his voice.

Re: Iberia inflight entertainment Pet shop boys concert

Proper title is Pet Shop Boys - In Concert with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra (BBC Radio 2).
I'm fairly nonplussed by this. Any radio broadcast they've done previously is easily accessible if you know how.
Nothing about this is new or significant. I think it's more the personal experience for ...

Go to this event tonight:

Tickets available now. I don't really understand what a gay film programme is, but it's featuring PSB and seems like the kind of thing they'll attend.

Re: Anon Opinion on X

Heart by the Pet Shop Boys is, of course, a synthpop classic, but the lyrics are an absolute disgrace. In the first verse Neil rhymes 'Me' with 'Me', then in the next he rhymes 'Else' with 'Effect'. I mean, f****** hell lads, come on.

Ooo scathing.

Well, I'd add that it is a pop song after all ...

Whoever's updating setlist.fm (possibly in real time?) says The Pop Kids has been added to the setlist:

https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/pet-shop-boys/2025/plaza-de-espana-seville-spain-6b5b7e92.html


The setlist is correct. They have included The Pop Kids with images of the Funkos on the move ...

Re: Stingy on the instrumentals

I don't really recognise it either.
I believe I have a musical ear where I'll recognise songs within a second. It happens when I watch the television performances of PSB and it's on playback, you can tell instantly it's exactly the same as the record.
The percussion sounds different in this mix to ...

It's a good song, arguably the best PSB song.

Re: Dark end of the hidden cameras

It's an Annually, the decision came from viewing a poster.

The final new song is a cover of "The dark end of the street", a song written in 1966 by songwriters Dan Penn and Chips Moman, and first recorded by the southern soul singer James Carr. Chris discovered it when watching a documentary about ...
