With the tour fast approaching, people will be keen to share their experiences and discuss any new snippets of information. I’m sure there’ll be forum members that don’t want to see or hear “spoilers”. Let’s use this space so people can have the choice.

I'm not going to get into the whole PSB vs Erasure thing but when you see PSB performing their greatest hits to such acclaim, including high-profile coverage like Glastonbury, it must really grate with them that they're not similarly beloved as national treasures. I'm obviously a Pethead but I...

Well, I like SnowGlobe, but Loveboat is an album thats bad beyond belief.

Trevor Horn did a wonderful job with Numb. The single edit was a hatchet job, though.

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

Can't get this out of my head.

On the current tour, at the end of West End Girls, Chris uses both hands to play the last bass line.

I don't think he always did this but can't identify him playing it live on camera as its only the last bit I'm thinking of.

There is plenty of footage of him...

Last post

He always plays while reading the notes from his monitor in front of him. He is a trained musician so he will be able to change his lines easily, even after 40 years. I love it how he plays more live now compared to the early days. As much as I enjoy watching Performance, I really prefer the live...

Not the kind of article you’d usually expect in The Economist although I recall they have used PSB song titles within an unrelated in the articles before, so there are clearly some fans amongst the journalists.

(not the referee!)

PSB have just started following Mike Dean on Insta. I haven’t heard of him but he appears to be a producer with a taste in classic analog synths and ambient-ish soundscapes. However he has worked with several hip hop artists, Madonna and Lana Del Ray

PSB only usually follow...

Maybe he should retire like the real Mike Dean.

A few 'Heart' facts - the single reached #1 in the @officialcharts, was going to be offered to @Madonna and features vocals from Pavarotti.

I don't think it's a hoax. The reason being that if you listen to the Actually interview picture disc, Chris is about to blurt out the sources of the sample. Neil, no doubt realising the legal ramifications, stops him, saying something like he doesn't think they should say. Remember that this is in...

Another gem surfaced form the unreleased vaults! This time, an unreleased instrumental backing track of the main single from their 1988 Introspective album. As a very interesting and curious thing, it includes in the middle an spoken text by a male in Spanish saying: No Juegues Con Fuego, te vas a...

I just noticed Neil says the spanish text during Domino Dancong at the Glastonbury concert.

Yes, I also noticed that! I wonder if he did the same in all the previous Dreamworld concerts...
He does.

From an article published in the Sunday Times. If you have a free account, you can read three articles per month.

The new tour is a five-star hit; their most recent album was well-received; new music — possibly an EP with songs about modern fascism — will be incoming.

Strike while the irons hot I say. if this political stuff is causing a stir why sit on these tunes, put them out when they are relevant.
I just hope the music is something fresh, I have spent alot of time with Hotspot and its pretty down the list of fav albums.

Dear all,

Does anybody have Neil's Dreamworld 'speech' written down?
I found this in a review, I think from a German show, so I'm already really pleased with that.
However, some small bits don't 'sound' like I remember it, especially 'dance dominoes', but I have no way to check as I didn't write...

No boys from New York City at Glastonbury (fortunately).
