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.
I'm eagerly anticipating the Toronto show. However, the tickets haven't gone on sale yet?
Will there be any opportunity for fans to buy tickets before they go on sale?

SCUBAAAAAAAAA !!!! How are you ? I am really glad you get good tickets for Toronto !!! I am going to MTL on Oct 10th. I wanted to go to Toronto too but I can't. I wish you a great show !
I read on the PopArt dvd, says some videos use strobing effect. Now I know someone who is epileptic and when he is around, what videos shouldn't I play?

Well, if they can't persuade Rex The Dog to remix "Integral", then they should ask Hot Chip to mix "Numb". That has potential.
When they play TSAGS live during their summer concerts, they quickly put a drum set on the stage and one man starts to play the drums. Is he really making the sound, or is it only imitation?

You you tried eil? See the top tabs at where it says: PSB Collector?
S&G, Integral or Numb? Which song fits the best on the radio of your country these days?
I think it has to be... NUMB!
I thought it was pathethic, but it isn't. It is great. Let this be the single, that will be good.

Numb will be the worst performing single ever. A shocking choice.
Perhaps.
Hypothetically, it could do *much* better than we think due to the World Cup exposure.
The PSB segment was seen by how many people??? You can't pay for that kind of promotion.

No PSB remixes. There's a Shep 12", 7", and dub (and various edits), 1994 mixes by Oakenfold and Osborne, TWA, and Tall Paul, and 2001 mixes by Pink Noise and Philip Steir . Plus probably a few others that I'm forgetting. (Surprisingly, most of the mixes from all three eras are actually good.)...
Very tough, I know. Had a PSB remixes playlist on iTunes and it takes forever to get through all the tracks, so I decided to edit it down to five mixes -

I mail ordered the Minimal DVD (as it seems to not have been released in Germany) and it came without a booklet. Is that as it's supposed to be or did I get an incomplete copy?

Yes, it´s just a two pages front inlay, printed in both sides...I don´t know if you mean this when you say booklet...but that´s all you will get... ;) Anyway, as a collector who paid for the DVD I sure wanna get this. I hope my retailer will send me a replacement - they haven't answered yet.

Close enough.
There's a really badly done montage of secondary acts at the picnic.
Inspired by the impending 1 cd 'best of Depeche Mode' , I thought I'd compile my PSB equivalent. Unlike DM this includes album tracks and b-sides but is, IMO, an example of the best of PSB without it being another Discography or PopArt.
Not sure what the limit is in terms of number of tracks...

The sales as far as in the U.S. is concerned are just not there and never will be like they were back when 'Its a Sin' came out. But they still have a loyal following of American fans like they do all over Europe and the rest of the world.
I am changing this up a bit, is there anything the boys have done that have suprised anyone? For example I am suprised to have heard they were going to be a part of Live 8 last summer. That sounds better, these guys do not do anything controversial.

Last post
I think we don't need to deny that Neil sometimes playbacks, although I think the amount of playbacking is minimal .
Indeed. This is NOT live!
At Marktrock he sang all the songs live. It is just the same as the record, so if his voice is in good shape, one could think it is not live.

Neil is 52 now and still looks amazing.
He always said that he might get a face lift.
Do you think maybe he has?
Or has he been treating himself to the odd spot of botox?
Or it is just those great Tennant genes?
