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.
When Madonna came to town, Iconers had a pre-show dinner at the St. James Pub in Old Montreal. Not the greatest place, but it was fun to meet other iconers.
Does anyone know of such a similar event for PSB? Would be fun to meet other Petheads!
Any ideas?
Thanks,
L.

Okay thanks Rorie. I can't wait. It would be so much fun !!! Anyway, last time I went to see them in concert, I had a t-shirt with "Chris, I IMPLORE you to sing something for me please !!!" and I threw it on the stage on the intermission. Neil saw it and laugh and put the t-shirt on Chris'...

Also DM fan base collects singles passionately, so they'll probably ar profitable too, unlike PSB's.
Just checked - it looks like the New York concert is sold out ;-) It's going to be really great to see them at this incredible venue.

How about ticket sales elsewhere in the US? Does anybody know if other shows are sold out???
There is a PSB special on Blackpool's local radio station, Radio Wave, tonight from 8-9. I'm not sure how good this is going to be so approach with caution!
do you guys know where I can find this CD? I've looked on ebay, and I'm kinda certain I can find it cheaper!
Thank you

I recently bought all the /Further Listening releases as I had heard they were going out of print so got worried.

Anyone knows of a way to get hold of Neil & Chris performing Always on my mind on the Elvis Presley tribute programme Love me tender?
Remember when Neil was walking down the smoke filled railway track ?
Does anyone know anything about this track? I'm dyin' to hear it.
Last post
From the Numb Tracklisting thread -
Nothing too exciting.
Let's hope that at least the demo is different enough, 'Party song' is good, 'Bright young things' introduces some changes from the leaked version, and the 'Psychological' remix is better than their last remixes.
It's great to listen to the Phil Harding remix of Always on my mind on vinyl but anyone know of a CD format? Further more who has access to the instumental version done by Julian Mendlesohn?
Last post
What's actually the difference between the "love me tender" and the "instrumental" versions? Last time I checked they sounded pretty much the same to me
The 'Love me tender' version from the Jap 7" isn´t instrumental, it has full vocals and yes, I'm almost sure it´s the demo from the Actually...

Do you think any of those kids even know who PSB is?
Yeah... they probably know them as "... 1980s chart sensations the Pet Shop Boys". :roll:
I was wondering what other people's views are on this?
I consider the Grid Remix of DJ Culture to be one of the best remixes and it should really have been the single version, I think Neil and Chris may agree due to releasing it. The gorgeous wah wah guitar is more prominent, the synths more...
Last post
because of stupid uk chart rules at the time it had to released as an entirely different release to dj culture,hence its own chart position , etc.
People are pretending to be people they're not. We have been asked by several fans about My Space pages that are apparently Neil's ( for instance) or Pet Shop Boys'. They are not. Just thought we'd like to clear that up!- This is an excerpt from Official PSB site.
I remember years back (1994 I think) Select magazine, a good but no longer existing music monthly, published a league table of the richest 'indie/ alternative' stars (I know PSB are pop but they were always the pop it was ok for indie kids to like), and PSB were number 1 with around a £16million...
Last post
30 million records = £30 million roughly.
Steady radio play brings in decent PRS money, somewhere around the world West End Girls is still playing.
The tours haven't made much money, but the recent habit of playing festivals will bring the cash in. As will paying £3 to download a ringtone!
Just thought we'd let you know about our next gig which is at the Robin 2 Club in Bilston, near Woverhampton on Thursday 9th November.
It's a "Double Header" with the excellent Erasure tribute band "Eraser".
For more info please go to the meet-ups page.
Hope to see you there!
I am just in the middle of chilling to PopArt The Videos & after not hearing it for a while i have forgotten how good Was it worth it ? sounds. What a great song! It's not recognised as a hit single because it peaked at number 24 in the singles chart! With the release date of yet another great...

Was it worth it always sends shivers down my spine. It's an incredible song, completely underrated.
I agree with you on that. Red Letter Day is an incredible track too.
Yes but i think remixing it for a single was wrong. Should have kept the original epic for the single.Still, at least we got...

It can include any version off a song or format...It may also from time to time include non PSB records (ashamed)!

I would like to make a couple of Very-era pointy hats and was wondering if anyone has any tips for malking them? What kind of paper or materials to use, how to get them to stay on the head, that kind of thing.
Any help is much appreciated!

I think he meant milking them.
You know: milk an orange striped zebra, and voila!
Which performance's do you think Chris actually plays the Keyboard live ?
I know the performance's on TOTP were done by miming, as everyone elses were. That was part of success of the show.
What about Performance?
There is no way that hand held keyboard Chris was using for some of the songs was...

If I paid to see somebody live, I would expect them to perform live!
I believe it was Chris that said in the "Somewhere" DVD that some of it is on tape, like Neil says in the "Yesterday when I was mad" song and then some is live.
He said "It´s ALL on tape" and that he´s only pretending. :lol:...

The sound is fine- only audiophiles would have a problem with it.
The only distinction it has is it has the Can't Get My Eyes Off You bits put into Streets.
...Do you think they should end with a new remix of Opportunities?
I'm sure they'll end as poor as when they started. Perhaps with the odd holiday thrown in for good measure?
Good exposure, played again in a similar vein to the last time when showing dejection in a football sense. Nice to hear it tho.

Thank you for the information. I would like to see it.
I've just been reading Boyd Hilton's book about Matt Lucas and David Walliams. PSB are mentioned in glowing terms throughout the book, and it's clear that the four of them have become great friends.
One section reads (I hope Boyd, Matt or David don't mind me quoting this small section)
I have just come across Two Divided by Zero (Extended) 5min 50sec.

Talking about Arthur Baker's Club Vocal Mix. Got the US Promo 12" today and there is a very short instrumental bit after what I thought was the end of the mix - compared to the version on Ultra Rare Trax Vol.1

Greece took it to #36 and you could find the single easily in all formats and in all record stores.Never listen to radio to say if it was a good promotion from there but you can hear the song almost everynight in the gay clubs.
When are you going to release 'Battleship Potemkin' on DVD to your soundtrack?

Yes, part of it is on a DVD the fan club sent.
But this is just a couple of minutes montage of the Trafalgar Square event, with the music pasted over the images of the public filmed that night, not an actual example on how the film works with the new soundtrack over it... :roll:

It means e-mails going to a particular address are returned to sender as unsent. This could be due to a few reasons, but usually it's because the e-mail address doesn't exist or no longer exists.
Looking around the forum to find out if anyone knows about the Tour stage configuration and set list. Does anyone have news about that?

Maybe there will be some changes/additions in the tracklist, but I guess that, given the fact that they are currently on holidays instead of rehearsing, the set will be mostly the same.
There's a (brief?) article in an upcoming issue of VMan fash mag, #7, on the Boys' visual style over the years. This is the only screenshot I could get, unfortch.
