I've opened this new topic as a source of news for Aussie fans regarding Love etc and Yes. Here is the latest:

* I have it on good authority that Yes is now available in stores in Australia (or at least in Hum on Oxford in Sydney). I'm not sure about Yes etc, but will check it out tomorrow and...

No problem.
If anyone is into physical media buying, there is a great thread here , where people post up to date bargains from Amazon AU.
I've bought some really great stuff at next to nothing. There have been many Pet Shop Boys bargains on there, including cheap Further Listening CDs and vinyl.

Sorry for all the flip-flopping. Here's the review again in full.

People have an absolute right to behave like dicks, as is it is mine to ignore them.

Pet Shop Boys – Hotspot.

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...

Loathsome.

I'm glad Hotspot (so far) will be rolled out in the way they have planned for us, after years of work.

No one's said it so I will,
Neil performed I Cried For Us and It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas.

Did a great job hitting the notes for It Doesn't Often.

Did Neil ever talk about how he felt becoming famous at the mature age of 31? It's an age where people in most cases settle down and don't assume they're ever gonna be famous, that that ship has sailed. Being famous must be feeling surreal, and all the more surreal when you're past 30. If I became...

One of my favourite parts of a new PSB ‘era’ starting is the design aspect of it. As Petheads, we’re incredibly lucky (or maybe we just have great taste!). Neil and Chris’s collaboration with Farrow has produced some beautiful work.

The Super era was very, very strong in terms of design in my...

I just noticed the location of the hole. Probably looks good when you put it on a record player.

Haha! Good spot.

OK - so we know where the hotspot is anatomically. Is it Chris or Neil? Who has the biggest spindle??

Decide is a well-named track. I am yet to decide whether or not I'm willing to fork out £13 (inc. P&P) for the benefit of ONE song. It's kind of ridiculous isn't it? Anyone else yet to make their mind up?

Or for free, if you're at least a bit tech-savvy.

Let me start off with this one..

Mini-Pet Shop Boys Go West

Very cute (and the miming is perfect! Even Sylvia-Mason James'!! ) but are they the Future PSB?? :o

On a similar note, I’ve always been quite intrigued by the way Robbie Williams manages to change the meaning of the Jealousy chorus on Concrete, by changing just a couple of words from:

I've tried to see your point of view

Chris was DJ-ing at the British Museum for eight nights. It was a secret gig and difficult to find any details online.

After all this years I just noticed that the Heart Remix from the (unnoficial) Aurally CD is 45 seconds shorter that the mix on the Remix 12 ...and not just a fade out.
As the Aurally CDs include all official mixes from unknown but supposedly reliable sources... Can they be considered as a two...

Last post

Having looked around I can only find this edit on Aurally so it must be an unofficial edit and agree with Wish, probably to fit all the songs onto the disc. But no, I have no evidence to back that up except that it doesn't appear on any of the officially released or promo versions of Heart as far...
