Pure bliss.

Decide could be an anthem for Scotland's independence and for Northern Ireland's reunification with Ireland. Do we want to sink with England and Wales or do we want to swim with the European Union?

No, it's a lovesong about two people, Neil and Chris, constantly fighting. Quit putting politics...

On January xx, “Monkey business”, the third new song from the forthcoming Pet Shop Boys album, is released. Their first version of the song had been written in the Super era. The chorus existed first; the verses came later, inspired by Neil imagining what Mick Jagger might sing if this were a...

The final tracklist features 10 songs including Will-o-the-Wisp, Monkey Business, and the lead single Dreamland featuring Years & Years. The album is rounded out by a track called Wedding in Berlin, the location where Hotspot was recorded.

From this one could also assume that Will-o-the-Wisp may...

2019 was a non-album year but still we have 15 tracks released already.

My Guess is that the next next PSB album if any will be produced by Tim Powell and will be exactly in the direction of Agenda, meaning (see it or not) VERY, YES kind of style

I've visited the show in Royal Opera House on 28. July 2018. One of the cameras was placed direct in front of me. However, the official video (Blu-ray) doesn't use recordings of that camera. Is there an chance to watch recordings, which aren't used in the video?

Hi Citylady

Try YouTube. One of the Super Tours we went to if you are quick enough you can see us on it. Blink and you will miss it though. :lol:

Is there any unreleased work by the Boys that you're obsessed with having them release already?

I'm obsessed with that 1997 Stonewall concert, with the Sound of Music covers + It's Not Unusual. The only versions out there are murky at best, and not sure the technology in 1997 was good enough to...

I’d love for the Bobby O demos / album prototype to get a proper release. And in addition to the Bobby O demo of “In the club or in the queue,” there’s a version they worked on in 1999, too.

Yes, it's crazy that there is a whole 1984-album (maybe even two) lying there somewhere and probably a...

Just noticed that on Ralph Moore's twitter account he's listed as remix consultant for PSB. Wonder why they feel the need to have one? Always thought they pretty much chose mixers based on their own knowledge, or as they once said also recommendations from Pete Gleadall and Tom Stephan.

They use remixers that will get them played in clubs, simple as that.

Obviously, the song is by Electronic. But there are plenty of songs in the PSB back catagloue that sound less PSB than Disappointed. Also, in theory Chris is not involved. But the songwriting and sounds are all classic PSB. Not like poppy New Order was ever that far off PSB anyway. In your mind do...

I do not consider it as part of the PSB catalogue, although I like it better than the average PSB singles released.

You have to realize the Tennant-Lowe written statement doesnt always comes to a 50/50 music, lyrics kind of way. More like a mark and to equally divide everything in the business....

I've been listening some songs from the last PSB albums. I have to admit Stuart has given to PSB a young touch to their music but at the same time, everything sounds easy, dull and weak.
