The final results are in for my poll of the past week, in which I asked my site visitors about the extent to which they believe visual elements (as opposed to musical ones) were critical to the success of the Pet Shop Boys. And the response that received the most votes was:

First off... this is great footage.

Second.... the coy grin on Chris' face when Neil said he came by to look at my synthesizer is telling, I'm sorry.

Not to be crass, but.... yeah he did!

Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current poll, which asks your opinion of the importance of visual style or design -- graphics, artwork, clothing, costuming, staging, videos, and the like, as opposed to purely musical factors -- to the success of the Pet Shop Boys. If you...

What if Kim Jong-un's decisions over the last half-a-year (sending athletes to Olympics in South Korea, meetings with the South Korean leader and Trump and softening of nuclear rhetoric) were in fact inspired by listening to The dictator decides ? :)

The final results are in for my poll of the past week, in which I asked my site visitors to choose their favorite Boys band (that is, a band with Boys or Boyz in their name) aside from the Pet Shop Boys. And the response that received the most votes was:

Sorry if its already been posted.

As some of you will be aware, BBC4 have been re-running original Top of the Pops episodes from the 1970s onwards and are now at Oct 1985. Enter Tennant and Lowe... Yes, some of these performances are on the Ultimate DVD, but there are others that slipped through the net (notably the Opportunities...

Hey there!

Good morning.
Are there any good record shops in Dublin for a PSB fan like me? I'm visiting Dublin, and Ireland in general, in the next weeks.

Thank you

French Interview where there is a lot of (losing) money questions. Intersesting is that their less selling album is 700'000 ex.

For any given single, take into account all edits, b-sides, mixes, mixes and more mixes. CD, vinyl, cassette, MD, DVD, and put them all on a playlist. Which would be the single that would be most excruciating to sit through all of it? Do not count promo mixes and do not count unreleased and...

The final results are in for my poll of the past week, in which I asked my site visitors whether they agree with Neil's assessment that It Doesn't Often Snow at Christmas is the best song that he and Chris wrote in the 1990s. And the response that received a majority of the votes was:

* No. It's...

It deserves its own post:

Does anybody know from which live show (?) this picture of Neil come from? I found it a long time ago somewhere
on the internet and found his outfit interesting. Unfortunately, there wasn't any description, that's why I'm asking
here. I would highly appreciate it if someone can help me out. Thanks!

Truly a labour of love, or some might say unhealthy obsession, but incredibly, the folks at Analogue Solutions - Tom Carpenter and friends recreated the lineup (of instruments) in a classic BBC performance Opportunities from the pet Shop Boys....

As I’m sure many of you recall, in March 2016 the University of Edinburgh hosted an academic seminar called Pet Shop Boys Symposium — celebrating 30 years of Pet Shop Boys and their influence. I was approached by the organisers of the Symposium to DJ an exclusive 3-hour Pet Shop Boys set to close...

Great to hear Hold on played! Well, sort of.

Sorry if this has been posted before but who exactly is the white dress about?

Best caption wins the respect (or not) of other board members and a pass to be smug for a week. Good luck!

The final results are in for my poll of the past week (technically, eight days), in which I asked my site visitors to pick their favorite Pet Shop Boys song that contains the word You in its title. And the song that received the most votes was:

Specialist subject of Hacker the Dog (don't ask) tonight on bbc1's Mastermind. Embarrassingly easy questions. Probably up on iplayer by the end of the night....

Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is NOT the last full day of my current poll. On account of the extremely busy weekend ahead of me, this week's poll -- which asks you to choose your favorite officially released Pet Shop Boys-composed song with the word You in its title -- will run one day longer than...

Hi, does anyone know of a good site where I can get HQ scans of all the 'Literally' fan club covers? I do have them all but for someone whose mobility is very restricted it will take me an absolute age to get them all done and the likelihood is that I will shake as well when photographing them :)...

It's in Dutch, so not really readable for most people, but it's a good article though

It's a pleasure to watch this. It deserves more than the youtube thread. It's the updated PSB singles hitory (with videos, not all of them official)

Apologies if anyone has already heard this but thought it warranted a link..

*Working on new album in Berlin

*Chris in the studio trying to record a German underground train..!
