Re: New Single - Loneliness

Love it, especially the album version. I'm getting strong "Radiophonic" vibes on the verses for some reason!

Re: Piano Room Month - 2024

Fun times! So that's one of the B-sides sorted for the new single Not the biggest fan of "All the young dudes" so hoping it's not that ... Any other Bowie songs that it could be? I thought maybe "The Man Who Sold The World" but it was already quite well known when Nirvana covere...

They did a voice message on Vernon Kay's show on Radio 2 this morning. Says it will be a Bowie song made famous by someone else so I'd guess "All the Young Dudes". They will play the new single, an old song and cover.

Re: PSB and autism

I'm now dating someone who is very strongly affected by the condition, this of course has prompted me to read widely around the subject and consider whether I am on spectrum myself (probably not in a scientific sense as it happens). My partner is a wonderful person and his struggles to operate with...

I'm also still awaiting this and not even had a dispatch notification, even though I ordered within 10 minutes of it going on sale. Strangely when I go into my account my Smash order is there but this isn't. I'm starting to think there might be a cock-up as it's bizarre some have it (even internati...

Definitely, wouldn't surprise me if it's more given Warners standard reissues are around the £40-50 mark at the moment.

Re: Smash - The Singles 1985 - 2020

Not aimed at us, but still think it’s to expensive for the casual fan. I'd agree. Think one of the issues with having such a large back catalogue is they either go down the "Ultimate" route (which would probably be pretty much identical to that release and weigh heavily on the 80s-90s) or...

Re: Mysterious tweet

It's definitely looking like a greatest hits compilation but I really can't see them simply calling it "Discography" again (even though that link last year did). I predict "Dreamworld" which wouldn't be a surprise I guess.

Re: Mysterious tweet

I can't see any of the pre-Very singles, so my wild guess would be Discography 2 or something along those lines. While this would be a bit dull, there is a definite need for the hits to be issued on vinyl in one package, especially with the original pressing of Discography so rare now. So if Discog...

Re: Electric boxset £500 brand new - be very quick!

Ordered a copy this morning and just had an email saying it was added to their online system in error and therefore cancelled. It did seem very odd that some had become available.

Re: Not impressed by some of your comments

I think "Super" is an absolute corker of an album but at the same time I think "Nightlife" is below par for their high standards. Surely if somebody isn't impressed by an element of Neil and Chris' work they should be entitled to voice that though?

Re: Super Press Reviews

The Observer review is by Kitty Empire who also gave Electric 3/5 when Alexis Petridis had given it 4/5 in The Guardian. Similarly this time, Dorian Lynskey gave it 4/5 in The Guardian. I'm surprised Kitty can lower herself to review Pet Shop Boys, after all she's quite a big deal. Luckily PJ Harve...
