Greetings,

I see Tony Blair is still around the traps pushing for Digital ID, just like he relentlessly pushed for the Identity Card Act back in the day...

Back then, Pet Shop Boys responded to this planned encroachment with one of their most potent and powerful songs ever recorded - Integral. A...

Just wondering really. With all the various fonts we've had over the releases, doe anybody have a favourite?

Singlewise for me is Suburbia, black, bold and sharp, almost like a tabloid headline.

Albumwise, Behavoiur. Yes, all because of the full-stop!

Technically, isn't it typefaces we're discussing rather than fonts?

In Japan, next June, 11 PSB albums will be reissued for the special Forever Young 2025 series.
From Please to Elysium, with special limited editions including the megajackets , i.e. the 24x24 cm cardboard reproduction of the covers.

Last post

These look good, is there a pre order available?

I only found a seller on Ebay
850 Euros for the whole set

Wow, a little presumptuous for something that isn't even out yet.

For that money you can go buy a teaset from the OS instead.

You’re a legend Gabby!

As some of you may know, some enthusiasts at the UK Mix forum recently got their hands on the actual chart data used by Gallup to compile the UK singles chart in the 1980s and early 1990s. What's interesting is that it revealed for the first time the estimated weekly sales of each single along with...

Last post

First week sales for Go West have been confirmed. It had 2,880 panel sales - by far the biggest opening week of any of their singles.

Yet, it still sold 12,600 units fewer than Culture Beat's Mr Vain which had about 3,718 panel sales. In other words, it's a myth that Go West was going to go in at...

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

Video essay on PSB:

Not very surprising all, and not always very correct, but a fun watch nonetheless.

As recently covered by The KLF. Maybe Neil could add his vocals and give it a full release?

This is a KLF parody I think!

I think we can agree the songs on Agenda just objectively didn't sound good.

The ABBA ep was the end of their mainstream success.

They had two more Number One albums after the ABBA EP (yes I know one of them was a Hits collection).

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...

According to bluray.com, the Dreamworld Live bluray will have a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and a LPCM stereo soundtrack. So no Dolby Atmos for those hoping for it.

I don’t think the Mini is Chris’s actual new car, he seems to get loaned cars arranged by Jason Barlow, the editor-at-large of Top Gear Magazine when he goes to Blackpool - the deal appears to be that he does a social media post. He’s done it before with a Jaguar F-Type and an electric Audi....
