Re: Next Single

Me: "when is pet shop boys loneliness single released on 12" vinyl?" Bing Copilot: "The Loneliness single by Pet Shop Boys is set to be released on 12" vinyl on 26th April 2024" Refers to HMV website, but content must currently be hidden. This is how I believe we are no...

I think that's a good call, but much more likely to be the Loneliness 12" single. Due to so few pressing plants left vinyl tends to take far longer than CD to schedule.

Re: The most interesting and yet mysterious version of CLOSE MY EYES

Is it a fan remix, just sampling a bit of "We're The Pet Shop Boys"? Hardly seems like a collaboration.

Re: New Single - Loneliness

Streaming has both opened doors for people without recording contracts able to make music in their bedroom after being taught Audacity at school and simultaneously killing the whole sense of what a chart is. A chart should be sales exclusively - if that's digital, fine, but not streams on some servi...

Re: Nonetheless - Blu-ray

So can someone explain - this is blu-ray audio? Does it play on a standard blu-ray video set up or is that an incompatible format (like UHD blu-ray 4K or whatever it is actually called)

Re: PSB & OMD

Apparently when they first met in 1981, Neil and Chris bonded over two particular songs - Soft Cell’s Bedsitter, and OMD’s Souvenir. Impeccable choices. One hedonistic and lonely , the other fey and winsome . Might have been metaphors for Chris and Neil, themselves. Drico. The next four album title...

Re: Piano Room Month - 2024

The cover of Act Naturally was deliberately chosen for Beatles For Sale as commentary to the unexpected praise for Ringo's performance in A Hard Day's Night, an album replete with cover versions.
