So Scissor Sisters had guest Jessie Ware in Glasgow and Olly Alexander in Cardiff.... the press for London 02 (this Friday) says another special guest..... anyone got any intel on if it could be Neil??

Good luck. Still reeling from the disappointment.

But seriously, it is a brilliant show with fantastic party atmosphere, Jake Shears has phenomenal energy.

I thought PSB had said that Chris came up with the idea of covering Dark end of the street, only to notice that Neil’s friend Joel Gibb did the same song in 2016….coincidence?

Myself (Graham) and Dog (Chris) have made the brave (or foolish!) move to record a series of Pet Shop Boys fan podcasts.

Prior to recording, we had only met once ‘on a wet Wednesday night’ in a pub near where we both live in West Yorkshire in the north of England. But we thought it might be fun...

''I hope you don't mind if I go on at some length about this one. This gentle midtempo song evolved from a number that the Boys had previously been working on called How Lucky I Am. It's written from the viewpoint of an imaginary 18-year-old boy who goes to a rock concert, meets the male star...

I missed this show last time because I don't like the character of Billie Trix. I'm pretty sure I'll be missing it this time.

There are no PSB songs titles that start with one of those 3 letters.

All the others are taken.

Edit: I've mistakenly added U at first, but Gabby corrected me.

I must've passed my song list too fast. Sorry

Undertow?
Up Against It?
Up and Down?

I think Neil's got U covered.

Aw, bless, he never did get that wonky letter a fixed. That typewriter should be in a museum somewhere too! :mrgreen:

What's really interesting is that if you mirror the image, you can see that he wrote the second verse on the other side of the paper.
