I thought I'd start a positive thread!

Maybe he's Captain Birdseye...

When I go fishing with my rod
I often get that urge
To fall asleep,
A sleep so deep
That no one notices me

I am asking this for myself but possibly others might find the answer to this question useful as well. Helping others out as well who also want a poster.

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a PSB poster to frame and put on my wall.
I do like the YES artwork and have been looking for that as a...

This is rather nice:

The seller also has a range of other PSB albums in the same style, quite tempting!

There's also this one, a bit too abstract perhaps:

I see Periodic Table of Synthpop is (cheekily) offering up Nonetheless Instrumentals for download - official versions reserved for record company use, rather than AI recreations.

Can anyone send me a link please

Not sure if I am allowed to ask but I would like a link as well to these as I have looked for ages with no success as well.

Thank you in advance.

Sorry if this has been a topic before, but living in Canada, as I do, you don't often hear PSB except perhaps the odd radio play of West End girls on a retro radio station, or similarly popular Please/Actually era songs in various stores (What have I done to deserve this? and Always on my mind pop up from time to time).

Today I was really...

Last year I passed by a hangout inside a trendy place called Mood Stockholm, they have a live dj there: Nothing has been proved (dance mix) by Dusty Springfield was playing. I needed to just stop and recover from the shock and enjoy it. Sounded so good on their loudspeakers.

In the true PSB spirit of celebrating negativity rather than positivity, what are Neil's worst lyics?

How about the tautological Planes taking off to fly from Hold On?

Last post

From “Everybody will dance” (which I love):

Tonight I need another
secret to discover
A temporary pleasure
always and forever

Surely a temporary pleasure would not be for always and forever? Or am I just not interpreting this correctly?!!

He's always about finding it, forever searching.

It's a great record. It is a pity that it will never be officially released.

Last post

Some of those demos seem to have the vocals from the album versions. Maybe those aren't original demos?

Maybe it's that when the live arrangements were being produced, they use the original studio vocals to save having to record guide vocals - effectively making them remixes at that point in the...

We swept into Moscow in Gorbachev’s limousine’: Neil Tennant’s love affair with Russia – before the ‘cancer of Putin’

Nah, the people you want us to be calmer and more balanced about (eg: Tommy Robinson) are off the charts.

Nice try, but you're just using weasel words.

Anyone know what it's about?

This mag has been kicking about for a while now. The first issue featured Chris on the cover, and goes for a few quid now.

It’s very much based on football casual terrace culture, mainly in the 80s, with the usually unmentioned undercurrent of hooliganism. The guy behind it’s obviously a PSB fan...

Sad news...

I ended up seeing the revival several times, and the production revealed itself as finely detailed and thought out, and the cast did great justice to the songs...

I wonder if some lucky buyers managed to obtain some souvenirs of the show...

Last post

What a pity.

The venue did seem slightly out of place amongst the ultra rich and absent residents who (don’t) inhabit Battersea Power Station

I really enjoyed the production of C2H, and I think this venue, much like the Union Theatre, really added to the production.
