Streaming is shit. Being able to download is not.
I can't understand why people stream instead of downloading and owning the digital stuff themselves and not being subjected to algorithms.

I gave up and ordered from Amazon UK. Arrived today. Canceling the Official Shop order. I canceled my order from the US Store and ordered from Amazon UK. I sent 3 emails over 2 weeks before I received verification of the canceled order and 5 more days to receive notification of impending refund. My ...

Not everything that was succesfull in the 80's from PSB was outstanding. Indeed, the charts are full of absolute crap that beat PSB during the imperial era, which should surely tell you that they're no indication of quality and instead represent a momentary snapshot of public taste - however bad ...

Not everything that was succesfull in the 80's from PSB was outstanding. For example, "Heart" was Nº 1 in many countries and now it's not even in the Top 10 most streamed songs from PSB or in the Top 10 of the best songs from them, something similar happened to first singles options like "So Hard" ...

This is fantastic as I’ve yet to listen to most of the tracks! Yep you read that right 😂. Call it a Christmas present to myself… “Pet Shop Boys, Moreover” - the new album 😜🥳🎉 No new album next year, but we will probably/hopefully get: 3rd b-side collection Dreamworld DVD (I'd like CD as well) Disco ...

I've listened through the demo album (it finally arrived). There are certainly elements from the demoes that they could've used on the produced album, especially on Loneliness. The voice is generally better on the finished album than on the demoes. But I also think they could've fiddled around with ...

When people think about "catchy songs", some people think we are talking about "shit songs" but it depends on the song. Go West or Shameless are amazing catchy and anthemic songs everyone can enjoy TSHP is catchy but it doesn't go on a same level. Motown or S/A/W used to write these kind of songs ...

I created this album: Pet Shop Boys Insofar from the best tracks from the CD-maxis released this year. The album includes b-sides and the best mixes. Hybrid and Jesus' Sister are excluded. Hybrid because it's not good enough and Jesus because it doesn't fit in and I haven't been so fond of it ...

I remember listening the soundtrack of WST and thinking how good it could be if PSB wanted to do a cover of it. A very few weeks later it was released. :shock: I don't get this. Somewhere is just PSB covering a Broadway showtune and every bit as predictable as some indie group covering Britney in ...

Track 54 : Jealousy Behaviour Further Listening Disc 1 - Track 10 Difficult to fathom that Jealousy was the product of their first attempt at song writing. The artful narrative threads that tie so many of their songs together seem to have been in place since day one. It’s as if they immediately k ...

Let's not forget Girls & Boys, a really good cover version.

There's a hidden covers album already by 1992, some great stuff, and it's partially a collaborations album as well. 7 of the songs were released as singles between 87 and 93. 1. Always on my mind 2. LMM 3. Streets/Eyes 4. Go West ('92 version, the '93 version could've been the 7'' mix) 5. Love ...

Nonetheless expanded has charted higher than the reissue of How to dismantle an atomic bomb (number 50) - U2, which has had a massive promotional campaign behind it. No wonder. The pricing is outrageous for the U2 bundle. The shadow album isnt released as a stand alone CD/vinyl either. U2 failed on ...

Finally received notice that my order is on its way. Perhaps it will be here on Monday...
