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.
Everyone has a "Pet" hate. Even Neil himself admits he hates the full stop at the end of the title "Behaviour" on the album sleeve.
So the question is what's yours ? What irritates you in the wonderful world of the Pet Shop Boys ?
Mine, silly i know, is the fact that on PopArt "Jealousy" is...

Has any recent release hit the stores on the date originally announced?
Does any, unless they are "hip" and every effort is made to get their album released on time? :roll: :(
I found this snippet from an interview with Sinead O'Connor about her new album:
Over the years you've collaborated with Massive Attack, Peter Gabriel, Terry Hall, Jah Wobble, Moby, the Blockheads... the list goes on. Is there anyone left you'd like to work with?
"Sure, sure. There are about 150...

Lots of news about integral and speculation about if its going to be released..
If it was released where would you predict it would chart?
For me (seeing that i love integral) I think it would come in at No.6 and hopefully stay in the chart for a few weeks.
What about you?

Then again, every Disco album has been released without any kind of massive promotion, certainly in the form of a single. So, if Disco 4 is released, the lack of a preceding single wouldn't be anything new.
I think Suburbia served as support for Disco 1, Yesterday When I Was Mad was released one...
Round four saw off "God Willing" which received 14 devilish votes against 9 votes for Girls Don't Cry. The latter has now finished runner-up twice, so could its time be up? Only time will tell. Let the voting commence...

OK, so far there has been very little suspense. Each round has been "won" in a landslide. In round three "Blue On Blue" conprehensively saw off all competition and gained 15 votes - almost twice as many as "Girls Don't Cry".
I have a feeling that it's gonna get closer from now on. Let the voting...
Does anyone know if the video/dvd featuring the PSBs dressed in Drag as Dusty Springfield was ever released? If so, where could I get a copy. I think there was also an interview with DS called Reputations. Does anyone know about this?

I doubt seriously that Neil and/or Chris would ever do "Dusty drag." That's a little too Erasure-esque, don't you think? :wink:

I remember Tonight Is Forever on The Old Grey Whistle test. I thought it was going to be a single, and it reminded me at the time of Japan's Nightporter quite a lot.
I love the Pets, producers, singers alike have called them the best pop duo in the last 20 years... but why do they not have the same popularity as they once did.. Look at madonna, shes been making music for twenty years and she sells millions of albums.. why isnt this the same as the Pet Shop...

The bridge part with the swooping strings, just before the woman singer kicks in. They played it as some intro/segue music to a different news section.

When you have not heard PSB in your local media for over a decade,
these are quite pleasant surprises.
Unsurprisingly, the loathsome "Party Song" got the boot right out of the bat in round one with a solid 10 votes - well ahead of "In Private" in second spot. So is it "In Private"'s turn to get the boot? We'll see. Vote for one of the following:

How would you feel if you woke up tomorrow morning and discovered that Fundamental only had eleven tracks? Or that Pet Shop Boys didn't actually exist? Or even you?

Oh, I forgot to add that PSB are mostly known by their cheesy, camp songs such as Go West, New York City Boy. And to make things worse, they cannot stop playing Streets live. The TRUE Pet Shop Boys songs remain invisible for the general audience.

Before Disco 4 gets under way, I thought we'd do a weakest link of the entire Fundamental era. Sure, I could just go ahead and post an Integral vs Fugitive poll right ahead, but what's the fun in that?

Well great, the possibility is there! LETS KEEP IT GOING, INTEGRAL AS FOURTH SINGLE! :lol:
I just got the "Nightlife" cd a few days ago and I'm surprised how good it is actually! I only knew and liked the singles, BUT..."Radiophonic", "For your own good" and "Closer to heaven" are soooo good and maybe better than the singles from this album. I think it's a crime not one out of these 3...
Last post
I remember being disappointed that the Pets were doing the whole wigs and costumes thing again for Nightlife. It worked for Very because it was such an unusual idea, but to do it again just seemed odd.
yes....I once sent them a CD of three songs I wrote. Didn't hear anything back...but a friend of mine in Australia who works in a studio is going to re-mix them for me. I'm excited about that :) It's only a bit of fun.
I am curious if anyone has any further news or views ?
Sorry Pets if this may spoil any surprise you planed for the fans. But we got the information today, that a 'Disco 4' release is in process for July 9th by Parlophone/EMI. We're currently not sure if...

If they will release Integral as single for sure it will arrive in top20 and maybe top10 (I'm with stupid arrived in top10, so why not Integral?). For the album for me it will arrive in top30 :wink:
I know dave cicero had records released on PSB label, spaghetti records, Heard a couple of tracks on youtube, sounded very good with PSB influence.
Did PSB produce the album?
Also is it any good, does anyone have it? Should i get it on ebay?
Think it is called Future Boy, 1992ish
cheers!

i think I mentioned this before in here, he was in a local paper a few years ago talking about how his uncle was Paulie, the character in goodfellas, :roll:
I agree with everyone who praises "Integral" and wants it as a single, but I always wonder why "TSAGS" doesn't get the same attention and support? IMO both songs are outstanding and should /must have been singles from "Fundamental". "TSAGS" also gets fantastic reactions at the show and is a song...
Last post
TSAGS is a song crying out for a video similar to Welcome To The Pleasuredome but Integral should have been a single. Then again, Shameless, Kings Cross, In the Night, Ressurectionist and probably The Theatre, should have all been singles. They weren't. Which is probably a good thing because it...

Coincidently enough, I watched that episode yesterday ! :lol: And yes, I noticed. :oops:
Does anyone else think that the second series of American Dad is far stronger than the first ? Both are extremely funny, but the second series has much more substantial storylines.

I think that is a slightly different one. Both Neil and Chris are friends with current Dior designer Hedi Slimane and I think quite a bit of their Dior clothes are specially made for them, so the PopArt hoodie might well be an early design. A version of the yellow and blue hoodies was definitely in...

Hi all!
In the latest issue of "Literally," it states that there will be a soundtrack CD issued with the "Cubism" DVD as the PSB were pleased with the soundtrack. Because I live in North America and a NTSC region 1 DVD hasn't been issued, I haven't bought the package. Was a CD indeed issued with...

P.S. Does anyone else think they are hot?? :mrgreen: i do!!! And I really like his voice alot. Especially on the new album!!! (even tho I don't have all of them yet)
Not that I'm particularly bothered, but can you envisage a scenario when PSB will ever have another big hit single (I mean top 3). What would that scenario be?
eg death in an aeroplane. Rather than 'near-death' :roll:
Last post
I'm an optimist -- I think PSB will hit the top 3 again.
Paul McCartney signed with Hear Music, the new label by Starbucks and Concord Music Group, and he reached the top 3 with his new album Memory Almost Full.
The PSB version of this song used to be on Youtube. Seems to be gone, or am I not searching properly? I'd love to see it again. This should have been out as a b-side. Lovely song, beautiful rendition by N & C.
Mine is when they were a new entry at no.4 with Always on my mind. Its my favourite song of all time, it cheered me up enourmously, i liked the bit when Neil taps his head and smiles (which is a rarerity) after the 7th chorus line of Always on my mind. I liked the tv that Chris had too, it kept...
