I too am finally in possession of the book and CD! Took yet another day to get into my have 'cause my package service was closed early when I got there yesterday.
Looking forward to a quiet moment with the EP.
Hope no other Petheads are waiting much longer!

Re: Annually 2020 + Free CD
Just to give you hope, the RIxxxxNL package that never showed as ever leaving the Netherlands...turned up today in South of LA. Maybe someone just couldn't be bothered to scan it. Mine never got scanned until the day it was being delivered by USPS. Just to give you hope, the RIxxxxNL package that n...

Re: Annually 2020 + Free CD
It's reassuring to hear I'm not the only one in North America still awaiting Annually and especially the Launderette CD. Did anyone else get an undescriptive email some weeks back from USPS with a tracking number reporting that a label had been created and it was awaiting the actual package? A track...

Re: Stuart Price Trilogy Top/Worse 5 (2013-2020)
Has anyone else already done this, assembled the Price b-sides? I made a playlist of them, called Index . Until Hotspot , I've been on-and-off about his production contributions, but these make a solid EP, even in straight chronological order. Have I overlooked any? What do we think the chances are ...

Re: The most New Order-esque PSB tracks?
I haven't found anything to back me up, and this might be too late to be useful, but I seem to remember PSB agreeing with an interviewer that "A different point of view" was a very New Order track. Playing it just now, I hear what they meant. I've always felt it was an underappreciated gem...

Re: The PSB produced songs during the Stuart Price Era - Your opinions?
I enjoy Musik but agree that the recordings could be beefed up. (Are we in fact ever going to hear a non-radio edit version of "Ich bin Musik"?) Not a full-on fan of Agenda , though I'm glad they put it together. Love "No boundaries" and can't wait for the EP. A Man From the Futu...

Re: New Pet Shop Order Boys
Greetings, Can we all admit “the unity tour” is a horrible name? It implies there was animosity or a rift between the bands, which there never was (afaik). So many more creative, and apt, choices. Agreed... and for two bands with such a brilliant backlog of iconic artwork over the decades, the prom...

Re: The New Album Info Thread
According to the 6 Music interview, the album is called Hotspot as a reference to Berlin being the “hotspot” of the Cold War. The wi-fi link is secondary... It’s also a naff, brash reference to a nightclub, reflecting that side of the music. It’s purposefully less tasteful than some of their previo...

Re: The xx/"Performance" as a PSB song
Interested to read the following in Neil's interview with the BBC (http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-40592576):
"The album I've listened to this year has been The xx's album, which I listen to in the car up in Durham quite a lot."

Re: new I WANT A DOG cover by Tocotronic singer
Thanks for pointing this out, 13thJoerg. It's a sweet rendition. I have to see where I can buy the download in the US. I'm a gigantic fan of the Superpitcher/Wasserman mixes of Tocotronics' "Pure Vernunft darf niemals siegen" (Pure reason must never prevail). (Nice examples, by the way of ...

Re: Pet Shop Boys tour programme "Roundels"?
Hi, yes, each country they have ever performed in is represented in the program by a "roundel". I really like the design, too (although I feel like the blue field of the one for the US could have been leavened with a small white disc or a few thin white circles so that the stars were repre...

Re: Final results of poll on album farthest from their comfort zone
Sharing a sequence for these twelve tracks that I think has a nice momentum. For a title, I'm going with "Project", as the set originates from Wayne's Rating Project, and encompasses most of the three-decade (and counting) stretch of the Pet Shop Boys project. Pet Shop Boys PROJECT After t...

Re: The xx/"Performance" as a PSB song
"Dangerous" does have a real distinctive sound! On "Performance", though, rather than a delicate rendering in keeping with the original, I've been picturing PSB turning it into one of their big glorious anthems. At least, that's what I hear every time the chorus comes in. Sent fr...
