I like this theme, but I think we have to get back to this topic.
"I think it’s an amazingly good album, I’ve got to be honest with you. It’s one of the albums I feel most proud of. But for people who don’t really know us, and have a sort of an idea about us, ‘Electric’ is more what the Pet Shop Boys are meant to be."
(Neil Tennant, speaking about "Elysium" on the eve of "Electric" release.)

Oh, that`s a thought. They never did announce what they were planning to do at the Hollywood Bowl.
Prick up your ears.

I doubt that concert at the hollywood bowl no less would have been the obscure song thing. if anything it most likely would have been a big just the hits show.

Just read the whole Literally through yesterday. It´d be nice, that b-side tour. :D Maybe Disco5 should only contain new songs.

Chris:
-I´ve got a 12-inch plonker.

Maybe a heap of fan covers with N&C commentaries :D.

They actually did say it in an interview that they would be playing with an orchestra and it would be a special one night event, it was posted here, some interview that was on video back in august/early september if I recall it was recorded backstage at some festival if I recall correctly?

At the time I was hoping it would be the Potemkin show.

re: Christmas songs question:
I was intrigued by the fact that Chris says 'we listen to...' Is he referring to a partner or just using the royal we?
Just wondering :wink:

Love it. Had a chuckle about my question the answered although I think I sent in 7-8 questions and only 1 was answered which was to be expected but did they say questions would be done over next 2 issues (this one and next)?

:D Yeah, but I can't imagine he would spend his Christmas alone! So he listens to the music with someone, in any case.

They are only going to answer your "When is Nightlife & Further Listening Reissue coming out?" question the once. :wink:

I´d say it´s his boyfriend.

Well, yes, but it struck me that Neil uses 'I' in the first ffew sentences, whereas Chris starts with 'we'. Could mean nothing, but I'm always intrigued when it concerns Chris's private/love life because he never really gives us any information. Which is up to him of course. But it makes me all the more curious.

I'd pay big money to see any PSB concert where they don't feel obliged to play "Go west".
