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.
Surprise - 18 June '05
Pet Shop Boys made a surprise appearance with Yoko Ono at the conclusion of her concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London last night.
Yoko Ono played as part of the Meltdown Festival (curated this year by Patti Smith) with her band which includes her son, Sean Lennon....

Please don't feed the throll, people. It's extremely clear what the purpose of Boy Strange's presence on this forum is.
for me as an avid cd/record collector, (been going to them sincce I was 12) at the Tower Records here in Chicago, copies of the *limited-edition 2CD* Fundamental is going for only $1.50!!!
I asked the store clerk at the Belden/Clark location for the reason and apparently, it's because Fundamental...

They had several dance #1 hits, so it wouldn't be more than fair. However, I doubt if PSB actually care about it at all. See the lyrics of How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously.
I emailed management yesterday about whether or not there would be any more singles (or anything full stop from fundamnetal) and I have recieved the following reply

Somebody should ask at the signing. is there something I don't know about? :shock:
It's a really great song and I can really imgaine Neil when he meets the other guy in this song. I think it's so very lovely even if it's about two men in love. What do you think?

I agree - dislike it completely - its too kinda amaturish - but I do like "I'm In Love With A Married Man" - seems more thought has been put into it from a musical point of view.
As i mentioned before in a seperate thread, i can't get enough of the Concrete version of Left to my own Devices. The reason being Sally Bradshaw. I find her voice so powerful. Does anyone have any info on Sally ?

Haha, you'll never guess what... I bought Concrete WEEKS ago and completely forgot about it!

I think Almight is good for pop/dance remixes... but, they're too sugary sweet - you feel sick after having too many :p Oh, I forgot what we're talking about - those damned death-metal band "Pet Shop Boys", indeedly :D! As for the mixes - it's like...
i know its a big ask but does anyone know exactly how many songs psb have written up to the last single,
Last post
Yes, I believe 227 includes all songs written by PSB and officially released whether by PSB or some other artist. My count for all officially released PSB songs is 199, but this includes those not written by them (Numb, etc), although there aren't many they haven't penned themselves, is there....
The always great value JSP is interviewed in Attitude magazine's 'How gay are you?" section. In response to a question about whether she'd been to Brad Pitt's house (the questions are all quite random!) she says:

I just had a good laugh re whoever is listening to ABBA, I liked "Muriel's Wedding", & it's true, a particular type of music doesn't equal gay but of course, there are certain personality traits...that are shared by a fan base.
1. Which is your favoritte A-/B-side? 2. Is there any B-side you would wish was released as an A-side?
Last post
Red Letter Day b/w The Boy Who Couldn't Keep His Clothes On is my favourite combination, along with Miracles b/w We're The Pet Shop Boys. Perfect singles.
And really should have been an A-side- I didn't Get Where I am Today.
I want to know from which brand chris lowe`s yellow hoodie from the fundamental tour is. I think it is the same one he wore during the popart erea (he is recycling his clothes). At that time he also had the

Thanks. It's also interesting that while the most played PSB tracks are the classic eighties singles, the most popular album tracks are from Very and Nightlife.
Here are some pics from the Chicago Show. You can get back stage... Look for a Stage hand.. 6'5'' heavy set, curly hair like twisted sister, not the most attractive guy. He was on the right by all the backstage computer equipment. The blonde girl right in front of me talk to him during...
The solo singing part has a strong resemblance with the solo singing part in:

I want to ask you: is it allowed to do pics at their concerts? What digital camera do you recommend? how many megapixels... minimum zoom, etc.

have you used the flash light? I heard that this is not allowed in any circumstances.
I came across the old Live 8 thread, and I wanted to mention that if it wasn't for Live 8 I wouldn't be a fan, cause I caught a highlight of West End Girls on a late night Canadian show, and it intruiged me. A week later I saw Discography in a used CD store and from there I was hooked. I read in...
Last post
Their Live 8 performance wasn't exactly one of the highlights of their career, yet it's good to see it delivered them some new fans. I also remember the Nightlife album doing so, much to my surprise.
Fundamental has made it to no.23 in Q's 100 best albums of the year. Pretty good, says they produce better work as the underdogs.
Last post
Luna Park is probably my lowlight on Fundamental. I don't understand what's so special about it, apart from the good production. I find it rather dull, to be honest.
My favourite ballads on Fundamental are Indefinite Leave To Remain and Casanova In Hell.
now that the ''Numb'' single is released, ''Party song'' can have its own topic
this song rocks, it's a shame it wasn't a single, it could really bring some attention and would be great on airplay

bad year for B-sides.
I thought The Resurrectionist and Bright Young Things were pretty good.

Two of my faves :D I still haven't heardthe Minimal DVD bsides tho :(
Is Robbie's version of We're The Pet Shop Boys the same arrangement as the PSB version? I'm assuming that the instrumentation and mix is the same, just with Neil's voice taken out and Robbie's voice dubbed in.
Or is it a completely new "take" on the song?
Last post
The three (well, four counting the PSB demo) versions of this song are virtually the same...not new arrangements, not new lyrics, not new anything, nothing to justify a cover IMO...
I found just weird the pure fact that an unknown band create a song named "We're the PSB"...then, even weirder when...
With Chris leaving the band, who do you think should replace him? I would choose somebody like Christopher Biggins, but would Neil be better off with somebody less well known?

Stupid thread that serves no purpose, therefore closed.
The official site has confirmed that they will be playing at the Cee'd Festival on January 5th 2007 at the Palacio de Deportes de la Comunidad de Madrid.
Hi! Dunno if this has been mentioned before. Yesterday I've watched the DVD of "Talladega Nights" - a comedy starring Will Ferrell (main character) and Sascha Baron Cohen (Ali G, Borat).

This is really strange... Last night I watched X-factor here in Holland and one of the jury members said that Neil tennant can't sing at all... He may not be the best singer but I think that is so not true... What do you guys think>

What a bullshit! Of course Neil can sing. I hope you didn't listen to that Neil.

Yes he can. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw him with long blonde hair which I didn't think fitted him at all.
In this thread you can comment all Pet Shop Boys songs. Which is your favorit? Which one do you dislike? Which one would you wish became a single and so on?

Phil, Stephen King? Ok, and teenage daughters? I live to see the day, NEVER!
With the great news of Pet Shop Boys signing this years releases at Selfridges in London, i was wondering what question ( if any ) would you most like to ask Neil & Chris as they sign your copy of Fundamental, Catalogue, Concrete or A life in pop ?
"Don't mention Numb".

I wonder how not-seriously he'll take you when you do that... Btw, what do you think of Chris's sexual orientation? Discuss Some say he is gay, others say he is bi, a third group says he is asexual. For me it dosen't matter. For me he is always Chris and he still will be. Of course I would tell...
Stumbled across this ages ago so apologies if its been mentioned before. If you are old enough to have owned a C64 you might want to listen to this Home and Dry/Warhawk remix. Personally, I think its a pretty clever remix but then I love the old SID tunes...
Scroll down its near the bottom.

I've always thought PSB were heavily influenced by C64 music.
