Please take extreme care on emails from administration @ petshopboys-forum .com !!!!!!!!!!!
In the last days I recognise some emails about Tickets for PSB@ROH which I THINK could be a money trap. After we have to hold this email open for user requests and alerts via the contact link (at the...
I know yesterday (13th March) was the first time a new PSB track had been played in ages, but (as per the long standing forum rules) in future all public requests for copies of any new track, PSB or otherwise, will be deleted and/or threads containing requests closed. We will officially...

Thank you for the link leesmapman. I was already aware of them and found the last one does not include the first song they played (the Blur song Girls and Boys (PSB Remix)). For some reason it has been omitted from the youtube recording hence why I asked if anyone has their own recording.
Hm. Great review. On one hand, I should be surprised that Pitchfork gave such a good review to this, after trashing Fundamental. Although Pitchfork is generally quite resepcted, when it comes to pop, Pitchfork usually plays it safe with their reviews. In that sense, PopArt would obviously be a good...
What with the release date for Catalogue getting nearer and nearer i was wondering what is the most popular image us fans have about Pet Shop Boys ?
I just love the early record sleeves, especially photo's like "It's a Sin" or "Always on my mind" where the image represents a still from a film.

for me its got to be the pic of dj culture, the so hard image is a close 2nd, the one where chris wears the black puffed jacket not the beige one
"Neil Tennant has remixed Daffyd's closing song from the show," explains the baseball-capped Lucas, between sips of orange juice, the one who puts on the PVC hot pants to play the only gay in the village. Walliams, looking as dapper as ever in a smart jacket and crisp shirt,...

Show's big gay end
FOR the finale Daffyd and friends performed a version of the VILLAGE PEOPLE’s Go West.
And pal NEIL TENNANT loves the version so much he wants to record it.
Neil famously covered the original in 1993 with his band PET SHOP BOYS.
Someone ever ordered books with this site ? is it well packaged ?

I've never ordered a book off there but I've ordered other stuff and never had a problem. Actually, I've never had a problem with any of the sites that I order off -
I think Neil Tennant must be the luckiest man, singer and songwriter in the world. I think he's so lucky that he can't imagine it and why? Look here: He plays in the same band as the sweetiest Chris inte world. I know this maybe seems pathetic, but I can't help that I am so in love with Chris in...

Does anybody have any news regarding the signing of Catalogue in New York? I suppose that it will be on Oct 14 - or Oct 15 - but where?

My friend Corey and I are going to be in NYC for the show...we are SO giddy about the book signing too! If any one finds out info, please post it here! :)
I am listening to my close to zero quality recording of the live performance by the boys of this great song from their Stonewall concert in 1997. I think this exeeds the original song with Neil's angel sounding voice even though the quality is so poor. Does anybody here know of a better quality...

from what I heard:
the Person mixes are 'good' (6 or 7/10) and the Radio Slave is complete 'crap' (2/10)
... Sarah Kennedy played it, then Steve Wright and finally Mark Radcliffe. So at that rate will hopefully get more than it's average 20 plays this week. And a good variety of shows too.

What a bizarre, baffling and downright strange record this is. Robbie Williams' seventh studio album is easily the most peculiar of his normally streamlined career. It doesn't even seem like a "proper" album, more a collection of...

I'll say one thing Robbie's defence, he isn't fat. Why do people call him that? Was it the gobby Oasis brother (I get the names mixed up but I mean the t***) that called it him once or something like that? :?

I know most everybody doesn't like the E Smoove mixes but I was just wondering if there is any where you can get the song other than Disco 2 I would like it without other songs mixed into the beginning and end

Never understood why these E Smoove mixes were not liked. The 12" version is wonderful.
Is a good song but what has it to do with Liberation by PSB?
The 7'' mix at least had some of the vocals.

Maybe I'm old fashioned and possess bugger-all sense of rhythm, but since the late 90's, I've grown weary and less enthusiastic about Pet Shop Boys remixes.

"Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables" is probably what Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe felt like doing when their debut single, "West End Girls," went nowhere upon its initial release in April 1984. Instead of destroying furniture, Tennant...

Look back at the Pet Shop Boys' work and you will notice how they like change. The Nightlife tour Dvd was certainly that. It gives us something different to visually enjoy. (Get to use the Angle button on the Dvd remote, a least). The song list was extensive & perfect. In my eyes & ears it is a...

And at the risk of being crucified by those opposed to the locking of threads, this thread ran it's course and died in July - we're now in October, so bringing back such a dead topic to call members of the forum racists means that this ends here.
As many of you already know - I was responsible for PSB fans Tribute album project called ATTRIBUTE back in 2000/2001/2002.

Anyone know what the actual show is going to be like?

Any crazy costumes or set pieces? I want to see a return to the Nightlife or Performance tours.

I don't get it. Are these dates in the USA and Mexico part of the summertour, or has the announced World Tour actually started as an extension of the summertour?

Been listening to this track recently and it's really grown on me. I think what really grated and put me immediately off the song was the bit where Neil sings "wanna lose touch" etc over his own "I dont wanna feel this pain no more" etc. It's really horrible. However the live and single version...

I'm glad people are finally warming to Numb.
A lot of the people were causing themselves unnecessary suffering on account of the fact it's not a Tennant/Lowe composition.

I think even more to the point was the fact that, not only wasn't it a T/L composition, it was *gasp* a Diane...
It never happened, although (all?) the tracks were finished.
Well... I'm assuming you're talking about the Attribute project.
Some people on this forum might still have the files.
I can't get into the official site at the moment (internet connectivity problems at home and flash problems at every internet cafe I seem to visit!), so could someone please confirm what is released when over the next few weeks (Numb, Catalogue etc).

Funnily enough, I was thinking about recent PSB single releases just yesterday, and I thought to myself: they did NOT manage to release the best song on each of their last 4 studio albums as a single.... (In my humble opinion, that is)

- Birthday Boy

Anyone have any thoughts of what is or has been the best song to climax a live concert of the Pet Shop Boys. Excluding the encores, i believe we have come to expect Go West to finish the main set. I personally have always liked Always on my mind, especially the way the song ends with just the...

Integral would sound like the best ending for a PSB show, not encore though.
Does anyone agree with me that whilst listening to classic PSB songs, say pre 1991, up to Where the streets.... that the good sound effects heard within the song doesn't really exist now?
Take Suburbia; Dogs barking.It's a sin; Thunder sounds. Always on my mind; Wind tunnel sounds. Heart; du dudu....
Last post
It's a kind-of-borderline effect, but last night I listened to "Two divided by zero" and thought it was an absolutely marvellous song. When I first heard it I found the calculator voice a bit odd, but now I think it's something only the PSB could do this well.
I wonder why Neil & Chris never opted for a one word title for the documentary " A Life in Pop " They may surprise us at the last minute like they did with " Concrete". How about " Life "?

"Profession" sounds good, would make PSB look very pretentious! "Confession" is much better :D!

I also heard it on that radio show for the first time. I don't think it's butchered at all, it's just different. The intro HAD to be cut, nobody listens to a song on the radio when it takes a minute until the vocals start. I like how the bridge appears a second time, and I'm glad they kept the...
The reason I made this thread is because I felt it deserved it's own. As I stated in t'other thread.
Fantastic video! If ever a single deserved a DVD release then Numb's it with this video!

Neil and Chris' interpretation of what was 'Pop' and 'Art' were wrong anyway. They should have let me decide. Was the tracklising on PopArt decided by the video's to the songs?
