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. I love learning this. I can easily imagine Neil singing the lyrics of either, and in some ways he already has. Nice to know OMD did indeed provide inspiration. I wond...

Re: Neil guests on debut CASISDEAD album

That's cool to hear. I will admit I did not pick up the whole album, but I like "Skydive" and think Neil's contribution is exceptional.

Re: New Single - Loneliness

I'm in the US and ordered "Loneliness" on Amazon. They still haven't determined a shipping/delivery date, but last night they invited me to download the mp3's, as yesterday was the release day and the single is part of Amazon's AutoRip program. So it's nice having these new tracks in my ow...

Re: TR/ST featuring Jake Shears - Being Boring

Well, that was an emotional listening experience. I've loved PSB since Behavior , when I lived in NYC. And I've loved TR/ST since his first album (when he was still simply "Trust") in 2012. He's a top favorite of mine among the younger field. Hearing his voice, singing those so familiar li...

Re: The really good album PSB had on their hands (no Results, better Behaviour)

To Face The Truth is my all time number one PSB track. It's a Masterpiece. A MASTERPIECE!!! It's the track I suggest when you get the usual "PeT sHoP bOyS sOnGs AlL sOuNd ThE sAmE" idiots. For me, it's the best track on their best album. Thank you! Behavior was the first PSB I ever brough...

Re: Pet Shop Boys at Halloween

Btw, the extended mix of The Resurrectionist is on Spotify - it’s in the singles section. Isn't that interesting... Try as I might, I can't find the extended mix on Spotify. I guess because I'm in the US. Wouldn't have expected geographical differences between UK and US at this point, but I guess t...

Re: Pet Shop Boys at Halloween

Nice comprehensive list, Dog! I did something similar a few years back. Not sure why I haven't already shared it here. I called it: Pet Shop Boys HORRORS (original version, approximation on YouTube) 1. Psychological (Ewan Pearson mix) 2. Losing my mind (Disco mix) 3. A cloud in a box 4. Hell 5. The ...

Re: Drake sung some West End Girls

I don't typically play Drake, but the lines sound nice when he sings them at the end of the song. It's strange and disappointing and I assume a sign of arrogance that he didn't let them know first somehow or give credit. It's a sign of respect that he quoted them, but then he didn't follow up with v...

Re: Celebrating Very Relentless - New Relentless release

Amazon.com just updated me that my copy should be delivered here in the US on November 6. (It did not have an estimate before.)

That interior art looks beautiful! I'll probably try to use the Neil one as my album art.

Re: Celebrating Very Relentless - New Relentless release

For those in the US, I hadn't checked in a week or so, but I see the Relentless reissue is available for preorder on amazon.com now, for $15.

Love this record so much and very (ha) excited it's coming out into the wider world.
