I've often thought it must feel a bit strange to be a right winged Pet Shop Boys fan. There can't be many albums of theirs which could be played without that fan's finger hovering over the 'skip' button. It'd be a bit like being a socialist with a bizarre fascination for, fffffffffffffff... I dunno...

Somewhere undecided between center left and social democracy. At least in italian terms, political catholicism can be rather phony and corrupt, but I've experienced left-wing cultural haughtiness and right-wing complete lack of compassion as well, and I found the latter is very much the worst of the...

Like vinyl a lot but for me it’s total nostalgia. I want the CD too for the best sound quality, and I want to own my music so streaming is not my thing.

Dare I say TFC sounds like Brian Wilson meets Jean-Michel Jarre?

You're not supposed to fight obtuse populism without being in-your-face too. Current populism found one of its strongest (and easiest) arguments (ahem) in calling "left-wing elitarism" everything that has a slight shade of subtleness, so you just have to be crass to get a bit of a reaction from peop...

...on why they chose not to produce the Agenda songs with Stuart Price? Possibly not to give away a preview of the sound of the new album? From what's been written here so far TFC might be slightly too delicate for his rather heavy-handed approach on production, but the other 3 songs seem to suit hi...

Are we going to make a thread about the rich?
