Usually even video clips will have the names of the actors in a video somewhere.....like on IMDB

But I could not find the name of the actor who plays the NYC boy in the PSB NYC Boy video.
I thought...this guy probably has a nice little acting career and I wanted to see what else he has done......

Freddie Finlay. I went to school with him. He left early. I think he’d been a child actor.

This guy? He'd be about 16 in the New York city boy video.

I’m going to Berlin for a few days tomorrow.

Any suggestions for PSB-related places I should go to? I seem to remember they said where the best sausages are!

Last post

You could track down this sign at that particular station. A true fan would feel warmth; a cynic would probably walk briskly past!

Then catch a party train from Uhlandstraße to Warschauerstraße (EDIT: as petshopgrrl suggested!)

Though, it might require some connecting train lines, not just the U1...

Considering how great the PSB music is, I am surprised that there is so few officially released (and easily accessible) instrumental versions of their songs.

Even what does exist is hard to get. Yes was only on that vinyl set and Nonetheless was not even officially released at all.
We do have...

Isn't it possible with modern tech to de-vocalise songs? I've seen examples of it on YouTube by fans uploading songs of their favourite groups so you can sing along to the instrumentals. It's not perfect. I used it for my Nirvana/Pet Shop Boys mashup and there's some slight distortion here and...

The official store is a disgrace. My request for Discography came to me with the cover completely deteriorated. It's an expensive enough order to arrive in those conditions. Returning it for a refund cost me to pay for shipping when the product was in poor condition. Still, I returned it and...

As has previously been rumoured, PSB are the subject of one of the new BBC 'imagine...' documentaries by Alan Yentob.

Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are the most successful duo in UK Music history. They have sold more than 50 million records, produced over 40 Top 40 singles, four...

Oh my, the full documentary is 1 and a half hour, the Arte edit is half that time.

Probably the same version of it that was shown on Irish tv a few weeks ago, that was an hour including ad breaks.

I think I'm in love... this has been on repeat all afternoon. Yes, it's slight, inconsequential, b-side material. But dear God, is it an off-kilter, highly unusual earworm crying out for a much longer remix.

What is said in the background at 2:32, anyone make it out? Big Boy ? Sounds like Chris?

Well played, Mr. ea39!

Y'know, I can actually HEAR her voice doing this. I think we're long overdue for a Neil'n'Kate duet. :) What have I wrought? Love the pics. Should have seen the wordplay potential.

But, yeah, it's easy imagining her intoning the words, isn't it? Like a daffy incantation.

Greetings,

Pet Shop Boys today release a new dance mix of “Hymn (In memoriam Alexei Navalny)”, a song dedicated to his memory and cause, which was originally released in February 2025.

The new version, in which Neil quotes extracts from Navalny’s prison letters and his book “Patriot”, is now...

Last post

It'd be embarrassing if someone tried to exonerate someone from that list just because of the ol' WeStErN mEdIa iS fAkE nEwZ trope.

Neil's been critical of the Catholic Church, Blair, USA, Trump (and the West generally) quite a lot, I'd say!

But yeah, he could have added around a thousand extra...
