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.
Keep playing Minimal even now...really grown on me.
Think I prefer it slightly to I'm with stupid...odd as I didn't like it as much to start with.
I really like pumping out the Minimal (M-Factor mix). Might make myself a Disco4 soon.
In fact even some of the mixes done by Minimals I like listening to... :)...

'Minimal' was the first single release not to reach number 1 on 'My chart that does'nt count' since 'New York City Boy'.
I am currently listening to the 7 inch mix of No time for tears & can't help wondering if it had been released as a single in advance of PopArt would we have Numb to look forward to ? IMO No time for tears is an exceptional song. Not saying Numb is not but if a ballad had to be released & the only...

'No Time For Tears' is an excellent b-side, as would be 'After All'.

Neil and I spoke for a couple minutes about the NEW ZEALAND POINT OF VIEW and 'Heart' single (Number 1 in New Zealand), got both autographs and Chris said nothing. Don't we think he's grand!

I'm reading this book at the moment. The Pets are indeed mentioned a lot. Neil seems to ring David Walliams up regularly.

I remember reading a while back that the US release of PopArt would have the 7 inch mixes for Heart and I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing. So anyways, to my surprise today, I went to the Virgin Megastore in Union Square in NYC and found the US PopArt for 17 bucks on sale. Sure enough, I'm listening to it now, and they...
Also played Fundamental (Mole's version)
Which basically has two demos after the album and the two Japanese extra mixes (though these are from the I'm with stupid single and iTunes).
I wondered has anyone else converted the album from release into .mp3 192 Kbps and not actually played the CDs? Music for me is...
Last post
I listened to Fundamental last night on my stereo and the album is WASTED on itunes or digital format, you need to listen the the expanse of production on a proper hi-fi. Same goes for music full stop. You wouldn't look at paintings in a dark room, so why listen to music on digital. Vinyl and cds...
This week, since I bought both the "Nightlife Extra" disc in a used record store and the US edition of "PopArt", I've really been all about PSB (as if PSB dominating my CD player in my car or on my PC is somehting unusal). In particular, I've really been listening to these songs.

Now it's Release CD2. I start to play ambient version of Home and Dry when I come home in the evening. Second album is Fundamental.
I thought our Aussie fans here might be interested to know that Catalogue is now available to purchase through Dymocks (in Sydney at any rate). I also checked at Borders but they didn't have it, not sure about A&R. I just got mine at lunch time. Gosh, I was a bit shocked at the cost for such a...

I think he's trying to say that he doesn't drink " hard " liquor - vodka, whiskey, etc.
However we do know he's no stranger to Champagne & I'm sure has downed many bottles of wine over the years.

Ah anywhere in that area is safe to park it's a pretty populated place. NYU has dorms around there but the village is always hard to park in.
According to Virgin's website they said they're only signing PopArt or Fundamental.
I ordered it there back in July, but forgot about it. Then got the call today that it was in. I rushed out and paid the full $60, and cancelled my Amazon order that still listed December 15 as the delivery date. I'll forego the $20 for instant gratification, anyway. Very happy with it! It's...

I just posted this info in the ebay thread but thought it's worthy of its own thread. Anyway, there's a Psychological Mix on Ewan Pearson's myspace site. You can hear it at the following link:
I think's it the Vocal Mix but I'm not sure. Enjoy.

I think's it the Vocal Mix but I'm not sure. Enjoy.
Yes, it's the vocal.
The dub is more or less just an instrumental version of the vocal, a slightly different beginning but that's about it.
I'm not that keen on it...some parts I like some I don't. I was slightly disappointed to be honest.

I was watching this video for Dead Or Alive's 1991 single "Your Sweetness Is Your Weakness" and the song/video remind me SO much of Pet Shop Boys in the early 90s. Anyone else think so? I definitely picture Neil singing it, but not wearing a dress in the video... ;)

the chords are the same as in "It's a sin"
Will they be the same chords as Cat Steven's 'Wild Word' then? Jonathan King?
Yup those are the ones...how clever of Cat Stevens to invent them... :P
I think we've been through that before, but it's a fake, isn't it?

I just wish the guy turned his hand to giving the mixes away free rather than skinning someone. The last time I gave any mp3's away I got moaned at :lol:
Tracks ( A + B ) :

So that means the Radio Slave Mix is official, thought it´s fan made.

Maybe 100 copies is the 1st pressing (out for DJ reactions), then there is a 2nd pressing for club/disco listening. Who knows? This is exactly what I thought
I don't know if the cover of Go west with the lyrics...'I'm gay' is an excellent idea. I just hope this is a rumour..or that it really will be funnier and more subtle that what this concept emplies.

Anyone know where i can get hold of the shirt Pet Shop Boys Club was selling at the time of release of Disco 3 ?
It has PSB on the front & DISCO 3 on the back, designed like a footie shirt.
Probably not worthy of its own thread, but I was flicking through the latest issue of the Liverpool University alumni magazine and was surprised to see a mention of Chris. The article was about graduates who went on to have success in the music industry.

I don´t think he did another work experience.
I'm not disputing that. He may have dropped out of the RIBA 2 or RIBA 3 diplomas, but he still left with a BA (Hons).
For those of us in the USA, does anyone know if Concrete and Documentary will get a US release date? Or do we have to order the imports?? Is there an email address (record company or management) where I could send this question?
I've just heard the radio mix of Numb and they seem to have cut the orchestral intro and the second verse completely. Thereby ruining the unity of the song. About 15 years ago, they'd be doing extended mixes, now it's about dumbing, or is that numbing down, to increase the Radio 2 playlist rating....
Last post
Radio edit is ok for a casual listening to. It's great that we get different versions.
More effort put in by Neil & Chris, as usual.
Maybe not. This video was made in 1987, the song is Always On My Mind but I'm not talking about the official video or the video of Derek Jaerman or videos made by petheads.
Have you ever seen this video before?

New York City Boy did have a slight alternative, I think the Hookers/Call Girl dancers were left out.
So I was out drowning a few pints of Guinness and boneless chicken wings with a bunch of mates and we got around to talking about what music we'd have played at our funeral. So, I ask you - what Pet Shop Boys music will be broadcast at your sending off? I few suggestions I chipped in were "The...

I would like to see Your Funny Uncle played.
I also have this idea of making my funeral one big musical event, playing my all-time Top 10 rather than stupid speaches about God etc. Music tells enough about me. Playing that all-time top 10 would include The Survivors.
Just because the PET SHOP BOYS sound plaintive doesn’t mean they’re wimps. In the 25 years since the British singer NEIL TENNANT and keyboardist CHRIS LOWE started their musical partnership, they have used what may be pop’s most escapist subgenre —synth-pop dance music — to...

I've said it all before, I'll say it all again. Their TV appearances are something that would have been worth it. Worth releasing & buying I mean. Shame.
Six years ago I found a special edition about "A red letter day" with red vinyl that contains a remix of the song by Basement Jaxx and "The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on" (The Far away dub).
Are there others special editions that you know? I'm curious!
Last post
I absolutely agree with Actually - A red letter day is best in its album version and for me is the standout on Bilingual. It's one of three songs I have requested to be played at my funeral - that's how much I like it. The 'you might sneer' stuff does very marginally detract from it, but the intro, chorus and...
If I have all the albums in the 2 disc Further Listening editions but not Alternative, what am I missing in terms of bsides and bonus songs from 1984-1997? Everything but remixes by other producers/djs.

Anyhow, why would we want a tour programme/book before going to see the concert. This is (for me anyway) part of the excitement of the evening...buying merchandise then watch & enjoy the show.
