First post

An expanded edition of Nonetheless is clear and the fifth single too but we don't know anything about it. The release for the expanded edition is in November but is there something waiting for December?, a single?, an EP?. Maybe the answer is no . But bear in mind they have been written many songs...

Last post

It has to be Adrenaline. I wouldn't pick a cover as a single, especially since the last time one was an A-side was Somewhere, if I'm not mistaken. So, the chances of ...Dudes or The Dark End of the Street being chosen as one are statistically low. It also can't be one of the songs from the original...

Apparently Party In The Blitz has been released as a promo. Is this the 5th single?

Last post

They're good bootlegs . There's a demand for them. If Parlaphone/PSB themselves actually made these officially available we would buy them, but they don't, so these well made bootlegs fill that hole. I guarantee, GUARANTEE that when the archive project is released digitally (each single, every...

We know PSB have 4 song that reached #1 in UK but maybe we don't know anything about some songs from PSB that didn't get the top of the charts in UK but they got the top in other countries.

For example, did you know Suburbia was #1 in Poland and Belgium or What have I done to deserve this? in...

There's no info about Brazilian Charts, but they achieved a TOP 10 (general speaking) on 5 singles:
- West and girls
- It's a sin
- Domino Dancing
- Always on my mind
- Go West

When Pet Shop Boys reissued their first six albums in 2001, they revealed five “rough rules” they’d given themselves in order to determine what they would (and wouldn’t) include on the accompanying Further Listening discs. These were:

1. The tracks would have to be what they considered to be...

I respect their commitment to quality control.

i would hardly call it quality control.

they've made tons of mistakes on recent releases,
the best of, the video releases, and many more things.

the singles seem to be ok, and most of the albums.

but i would hardly call it quality control....

First post

It's a song from James Carr that is going to be covered by PSB:

It's easy to find on the lyrics typical references from songs of PSB (dark streets, shadows, hidden love affairs). It's like coming back to the basis of West End Girls .

At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet...

Last post

Dave Gahan and Soulsavers made a good cover of that song too.

Coincidentally on an album that also featured a cover version of 'Always On My Mind'.

This thread is for daily discussion of a Pet Shop Boys track, selected in chronological order, from studio albums starting with Please – including Further Listening – to the new album. The idea is to allow a 24-hour period of discussion for each track – then we move on to the next one. The first 11...

It's the ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oohs and aah-aah-aah-aahs for me. Hooky as heck. Love the strings at the end too.

I can’t recall where, but in an interview with Alexander Balanescu he mentioned that the arrangements on the album are less complex than originally proposed. How intriguing!

I was listening to my iPod earlier & had it on random (as you do etc). Then this came on & I've not heard it for a while, but I have to say it's really good! It's a shame it's never had a 'proper' release, just like their remixes of Kids by MGMT, which were also quite good IIRC.

I don't know the...

The Hidden Cameras have their own version of The dark end of the street. Might be where PSB first heard it.

Why is he the 3rd pet shop boy ?

I guarantee everyone seeing this post thought it was meaning Pete Gleadall :D

Hi.

There are lots of PSB Vids (Fan vids or otherwise) on Youtube..

Thought there could be a unified thread of all the links :)

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

Just curious, I know we all have diverse music tastes on here and this topic is highly subjective. However, in your opinion, what album do you own or listen to that is as far removed from Pet Shop Boys music as it is possible to be within your own specific taste.

I’d say for me, I have Dookie by...

The Music of Bollywood legends Shankar & Jaiksihan. Film music composers of the 50's and 60's. Their music had strong melody. Shankar-Jaikishan were a duk who composed for 121 Bollywood films between 1949-1971.

The Beatles are also my favourites, yet so different to PSB but also similar.

The estate agency The Modern House has just listed PSB’s old studio in Clerkenwell for sale. It’s been converted into a house and costs a cool £6m.

Anyone know where their current studio is based? I thought they were still in Clerkenwell?

Last post

I wonder if they were using this studio when Chris was living in Clerkenwell in the flat featured in Elle?
