Great - also I'm certain, a second chance to hear Monica Mancini sing Moon River , she performed it at the BBC Proms recently

Moon River was stunning as expected. It brought tears to my eyes as did the Rent duet. Jake Shears has a stunning voice!

Neil was super and I happened to standing pretty...

Hi again!

Hope you all are well!
I wanted to share this new remix with you, as you've given me some nice and useful feedback in the past.
I hope you like it. Any feedback is welcome!
Thanks!

Missed this the first time around but luckily an undertow drew me to this thread. Good thing too, because this is utterly gorgeous! It's so floaty and trippy and I love the new riff. Thanks for sharing! :clap:

I'm seriously contemplating dropping cash on one of these:

Not an official PSB poster but a nice art piece. The theater does/did this for other shows too as their own art series.

Each to their own but that’s bloody awful.

Hey, I never claimed to have taste!!!!! :P

PSB are featured in the movie according to the blurb at the end of the trailer.

Saw this tonight as part of the BFI Flare festival; Allee's partner Prudence, who helped make the film, did a Q&A afterwards. It's a really moving and lovely tribute, and I learnt a lot about someone whose work has been pretty ubiquitous for decades. Neil and Chris are in it for about 30 seconds,...

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 heard “Always on my mind” playing in the Village Market in Decatur, MI. Decatur is a rural village in southwest Michigan about 120 miles west of Chicago. Though there are many well-to-do Chicago people who have second homes or vacation in southwest Michigan, Decatur is not one of those...

Not sure if this is on or off topic, but should work here anyway:

Lets share songs that sound like Pet Shop Boys songs. It could be a small part of the song, just the melody, or the song taken as a whole.

Here is Mood Ring by Debbie Harry: (youtube audio sounds worse than usual lately IMO)

If you like these tracks listen to 'The Calm Before the Storm' and 'Let's Go Surfing' from Sparks. 'Let's Go Surfing' does sound like a response to the PSB version of 'Go West'. Also when Sparks released 'National Crime Awareness Week' I remember many journalists comparing this with PSB. Ron Mael...

Just watched episode two of season four of “The Righteous Gemstones”, which is a Max/HBO comedy series about a family of corrupt televangelists.

The climactic scene of this episode prominently features “It’s a sin.” The success of PSB syncs since returning to Parlophone continues. I’m sure it also...

Can anyone tell us more about this promo release? It is listed here: but I would like to know if it's something really rare (impossible to find or extremely expensive) and whether it sounds great? As far as I've heard, sometimes that kind of mixes can be really enjoyable.

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?

he doesn't have many bad lyrics...... I will say though I kinda cringe just a little when he does those little throwback lines he used in past songs where they were done better.

such as like firm Government in Kings cross and the later gunpoint has a firm voice in dictator

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.

Last post

I'm looking forward to the official release of these at some point!

I wouldn't hold your breath. I think all of these tracks, not just the PSB ones, were meant for licencing purposes to production companies for use in TV, movies or other commercial projects.
