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

There's nothing about it anywhere really, apart from those Instagram posts. I know Chris likes to be obscure, but *sigh*

In the latest podcast interview (was it with Jake Shears?) Neil again uttered his regrets about not doing a whole album with Dusty. So I thought there could be a lost Dusty album, and there is if we use the extended versions. A six track album only but in length like a proper LP.

Given the angle of that photo, you could almost put her in-between them on the cover of Actually, like she's being arrested by synth pop

I think PSB hate some things about the reaction of the public to their songs. One of them is well known and they have recognized it, their uptempo songs are more appreciated than their downtempo tracks. But the other one is not something negative. PSB have an hability to create good covers,...

Not everything that was succesfull in the 80's from PSB was outstanding. For example,
Heart was Nº 1 in many countries and now it's not even in the Top 10 most streamed songs from PSB or in the Top 10 of the best songs from them, something similar happened to first singles options like So Hard or...

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...

Did once hear I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing played in a hot sweaty pub full of p*ssed up footy fans. A couple even sang (?) along loudly to the “ta ra ra ra” part before launching into the infamous “you’re sh*t and you know you are” chant 😂

It's a shame Neil is reluctant to do podcasts. I could listen to him just *talk* for hours. Kudos to Jake Shears for asking a question and letting Neil run with it uninterrupted. So many interviewers hardly let the subject get a word in edgeways.

He's getting warmer though, this is at least the...

What a lovely review! I particularly liked this:

This deluxe edition of Nonetheless includes demos for every song, which are so fully formed that it’s like watching Tennant and Lowe take off their suits to reveal slightly more rudimentary suits underneath…

Recently, I acquired a Japanese pressing of Actually that also had the bonus 7 with it. In addition to that, there were a couple of bonus inserts - one called Pet Shop Book which has 8 pages and is divided into sections: Pet Shop Boys Story, Video Interview, P.S.B. Check - Yuming Special Interview...

Last post

Does anyone know if these items were bonus items when purchased on day of release? Or were the items included with the album on the first run with the bonus 7 ?

To my knowledge, the limited edition with bonus 7 came out with the first press.

I'm starting this thread having not been able to find anything similar in Geowayne's otherwise pretty exhaustive collection of PSB lists - how many PSB songs can we find where Neil's lyrics quote other songs deliberately, or at least in a way that could be deliberate?

The obvious example is...

Last post

It's Marvin Gaye! But yes, good one. I was thinking more lines that are hidden in the lyrics - I Want You, and That's The Way I Like It in Party Song, are a bit more obvious, I suppose.
It’s actually Between two islands.

Whoops, of course it is. It's all filed under I Get Along in my head....
