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.
Australian fans set your videos, Minimal is being played tonight on ABC's Rage between 4:30am and 5am. I think however we can safely assume that Minimal is definitely not getting an Australian release, which is extremely disappointing. If it was I'm sure we would know about it by now. Rage always...
Shall we hold a contest where community members upload their own U-mix mixes of Minimal to the forum and then have a vote on the favourite? or just upload them for people to share?
what do you guys think.....the banner contest was great fun after all.... :)
This time we will celebrate the release of Minimal. It will take place at the Sweet café, again, and will be on August 10th.
This time, a part from singles, bootlegs, remixes, collaborations, rare songs etc, we will play some songs by related bands, such as Electronic or Human League.

any news about the PSB concert on 5 september?
Well, some gossip say it will be at the huuuge Forum park and free concert again. But I don't know if it's going to be open air gig, on the auditorium, potemkin concert or whatever. We'll have to wait a bit more, I guess. : )
I know, I know, it has been said before but maybe some members of this forum haven't been realized of it. Please, vote on this page for Minimal. Nowadays, the song is being voted for NO-PSB fans and they are choosing the option wich says the song is rubbish and the song is losing support. So, if...

I don't know who was the last cd-burner but it recived better rate than Minimal has now (over 82%). Must've been a long time ago now because it's now 78.5%
How long the recent concerts have been? Based on the set lists I have seen I presume around two hours plus opening act etc., so the concert may finish around 11 p.m.? I am wondering whether I have any chance of catching the midnight bus from Thetford to Cambridge tomorrow night.

The concert in Bonn started at 8.30pm and finished at about 10.05pm
thought I might start a thread for all these negative constantly whining so-called fans,
whether it be chart positions, album sales, videos, new website or the colour of Neil's thong!

This is what PJ-newsletter says about it:
"Bono spotted in Tower Records, Dublin. He bought DVDs
including Yoga for Beginners and one by Pet Shop Boys. "
What have we done to deserve this ? :lol:
Last post
Whether people want to accept it or not, Bono is hugely interested in the iconography, imagery, and power of pop music. He's always had a sneaking regard for the PSBs, largely because he can appreciate the intelligence and craft at play.
The very reason that the PSBs are still in the game is the...
He's fat, he dances and he's certainly not in a homosexual relationship with Jonathan Wilkes. Feel free to post your appreciation for the third Pet Shop Boy here.
On sale this Friday at 9 AM according to Ticketmaster, a couple of pre-sales start on Wed and Thursday - anybody out there who knows the code???

So the set list will be the same?

Anyone planning to camp over at the Thetford Forest gig? Was just wondering how far the nearest site was and whether anyone had booked. Any info would be useful.

I was just watching, "Eggheads" on BBC2 and afterwards there was a trailer for this evening's programmes on BBC2, and the music in it I am sure was PSB's "The Sodom And Gomorrah Show"! How cool is that? Also earlier on today, somebody had Radio 2 on and Steve Wright was playing "Minimal"!

i am more excited about the releaseof the 1989 tour onto DVD myself!
the funny thing is, even though this is supposedly the weakest track on the album, it does seem like it would have the best chance of being a hit in the US, at least on the adult contemporary stations
Last post
Well, I first heard the song properly when I watched the BBC Football thing on YouTube. I thought it was just Amazing. Since then I played it often through the PSB website (because I haven't bought Fundamental yet) and I heard it last monday in Bonn. I felt rather emotional during the song, but it...

I think have plenty of songs from Fundamental. There's no point in over doing it with new material since they have quite the extensive catalog to choose from.
OK, so I asked PSB last week (via Airside) if my site could be added to the links section on the official site. They (PSB) said no. Well no problem then. Out of curiosity, I checked the log files (I knew the time range) later to see what could Neil and/or Chris be discouraged by. It seems it was my...

ahh and one more thing:
perhaps you will get some e-mail from an official company, which will forbid you bringing any further 'sheet music' material online again. They also will ask you to shut down your current 'sheet music' section for copyright reasons.
Is it just me, or is this not the best tracklisting? Just try it. Its annoying. The album would have been better and the reviews would also have reflected the talent.

It was recorded during the Release sessions.
Wow I'm shocked it wasn't included on Release - it's a very strong song, and would have been an obvious choice as a single in my view.

But the night the journalist was there Neil did actually sing "Meeting the Queen" at one point.
I wonder if one of you kind folks can answer me this as I'm sure there is a reason for it, but why don't the PSB's really tour the UK? I see from the past tours they have done over the years they do a handful of dates in the UK but they dont seem to dedicate an awful lot of time and dates to the UK...
Last post
I think over the next couple of months we'll find out about the new tour schedules. They are planning a UK arm of the tour next year (I believe).
The boys seem to like playing the festivals / one off gigs at the moment. Which I guess is no bad thing.

Well, then what are those reviews for if not working for an album?
Razorlight's new album has had mixed and some downright awful reviews but it will sell by the shed load. The Sunday Times reviewer, Dan Cairns, called it "the worst album of any genre he'd heard this year".
Do we know? I have no desire to go to a seated show. None. At all. Whatsoever.

Well, it depends on the venue. In Detroit where I live, PSB always play the State Theatre. At the State, mainfloor is general admin while mezzanine is seated, and balcony may be seated as well (I don't remember as it's been years since I visted the balcony). Your best bet is to pull up the venue...
I have to say that I'm really surprised about the chart position (number 2) of Minimal in futurecharts.co.uk. I suppose they justify their chart in some sources. And well, with I'm with stupid they got it right. Even, it's a little bit strange Capital Fm is playing this single when I'm with stupid wasn't in its playlist....
Last post
Well, taking a look to the charts results of today I believe futurecharts.co.uk has hit on its predictions. If the next week, or in two weeks, Minimal gets the number one on this website, it will be because of something. But there are two weeks left yet.
We all know that Fundamental *IS* the best psb album in ages but yet here we are a few weeks after release and its now out of the Top 200 :(
