I've Got to Start Somewhere

#1 Post by Rawmortar »

Hi to everyone! Well, as you can probably see on my profile, I'm a Pethead (that's how we call each others?) from Barcelona, Spain. I decided to sign up in the Community because it's always great to have a place to discuss about my favourite band.

I'm a very recent fan; although I knew their biggest hits since I have memories (Go West, Always on my mind, and specially Rent, which was one of the first videos that I discover from the Boys), it wasn't until the release of Pandemonium on the early 2010 when I start to discover the whole discography (thanks to Spotify!) and becoming a hard fan. Luckily, I could attend to their concert this summer in the Sónar Festival (which was incredibly amazing, but I think that any adjective that I could use will be short to describe the awesomeness of this event).

Some information that probably doesn't care to anybody, but well, if there's place to write it, I think it's here xD: My favourite album of the PSB (talking about a closed project) is Introspective, but if I had to choose a complete era, it'll be the Yes years (2009-2010), not just for the album, but also for it's B-Sides ("After the event" keeps giving me goose-flesh like the first listening), and specially Pandemonium, which IMHO is one of their best albums (Stuart Price made a fantastic job doing some memorable mash-ups like Closer to Heaven / Left to my own devices or Pandemonium/Can you forgive her?). And because not all is Pet Shop Boys, other bands that I really like are New Order (specially their 80's albums), R.E.M. and Justice (though some people think that it's just noise, I think that there is always a place for the Electro House :P ).

So that's all, and I'm very pleased to be here!

Hi Rawmortar,

welcome here. Hope you'll find here the info you're looking for! Maybe you also will find some Spanish PetHeads around here to chat with in your mother language. :)
