Cassette and double

I just spotted Youtube recommending me:

which as of right now (midday Wednesday 22.01.2020) says Premieres 23/01/20, 17:00

Sorry for all the flip-flopping. Here's the review again in full.

People have an absolute right to behave like dicks, as is it is mine to ignore them.

Pet Shop Boys – Hotspot.

I’m going to hit ‘play’ and type as I listen. So please don’t expect a crafted review; I ain’t no Drico. What you will...

I've opened this new topic as a source of news for Aussie fans regarding Love etc and Yes. Here is the latest:

* I have it on good authority that Yes is now available in stores in Australia (or at least in Hum on Oxford in Sydney). I'm not sure about Yes etc, but will check it out tomorrow and...

One month before the album release.

Too soon? :think:

Thought this might be worth a topic of its own so we have a place to put them as they come in.

Translations appreciated!

Neil's interesting interview on the Guardian Web site today contained some references to the new album. I was surprised at how willing he was to drop in tidbits about that as I was under the impression that we were still very much between albums, but it seems clear that this has now progressed. I...

I am abstaining - we’re too close to the finish line. Don’t want to compromise that first listen.

Ok,so we have 7 british dates announced,manchester has a 'prime view' option and newcastle a 'laurent-perrier experience' going by the ticketmaster website,the link from the official site is via AEG tickets.not stating anything other than the dates themselves.

Yesterday there were VIP experiences...

One of my favourite parts of a new PSB ‘era’ starting is the design aspect of it. As Petheads, we’re incredibly lucky (or maybe we just have great taste!). Neil and Chris’s collaboration with Farrow has produced some beautiful work.

The Super era was very, very strong in terms of design in my...

On January xx, “Monkey business”, the third new song from the forthcoming Pet Shop Boys album, is released. Their first version of the song had been written in the Super era. The chorus existed first; the verses came later, inspired by Neil imagining what Mick Jagger might sing if this were a...

Or perhaps i'm misremembering. But didn't PSB sue one Roger Scruton because he claimed that like the Spice girls, they didn't write their own songs?

Well if it is the same person, he has an article in the Guardian where he describes how his grandfather's name was.. Lowe.

He also describes the...

As usual, it's time to take a look at new releases and try to guess if Neil and Chris can get a Number 1. I suppose some of you can imagine if there is any possibity or not, taking into account the competitors and their fanbases:

Some sites, such as Amazon, are reporting that the Japanese edition of Hotspot will have a bonus track. A few sites are even reporting * two * bonus tracks on the Japanese edition. But none of them (at least that I've seen) say what the bonus track(s) may be. Have any of you heard anything more...

I would love us to go through this together. The Boys have mentioned in a recent Q&A that they'd love to collect all of their remixes etc. in a singles box set. Now, we all know it's a massive undertaking, and I think most fans would agree with me that it would be best done in phases, best to do...

In the run up to a new album release I always like to revisit the back catalogue in anticipation. If anyone fancied joining me we could work to a bit of a schedule and share thoughts in this thread.

Here’s a daily listening plan, beginning tomorrow with Please and finishing with Super the day...

Interview in Shangay newspaper. Language: Spanish and for Spanish media. Translated by Nickname (for Pet Shop Boys Community)

ABOUT HOTSPOT:

- Electric is more danceable, Super is more pop and Hotspot is more analogic

- We have been writting songs in our studio in Berlin, sometimes we have...

So Long LIve Vinyl describes Wedding as a slice of prime Chris Lowe giddiness (

So starting to think I may enjoy this track after all. Since I'm actually pretty tolerant of slightly wayward/oddball album sendoffs (You Choose, Leopardskin, Legacy, Footsteps - all fine by me)

@geowayne has there...

:shock: :D :clap: :dance:

Ralph Moore, PSBs remix consultant, has just confirmed on the Bigmouth podcast (which contains a great review of the album) that two remixes have been completed for a fourth single from the album. He refused to confirm which track though!

Sorry if this has been a topic before, but living in Canada, as I do, you don't often hear PSB except perhaps the odd radio play of West End girls on a retro radio station, or similarly popular Please/Actually era songs in various stores (What have I done to deserve this? and Always on my mind pop up from time to time).

Today I was really...

New lyric video just posted

I thought I'd start a new thread with the chart positions of the new single.
In the UK its number 57 in the sales chart although not in the main chart which includes streaming..still not bad after 2 days.😁😁😁
