I just would like to say Hi to all the people with such a great taste of music here.

I've been a long-term fan since 1986 (was born in 1972) and always enjoyed reading all the interesting discussions and comments in this forum. It's taken me so long to register, because my English is too weak to...

been lurking for years and never got round to signing up

favourite single: left to my own devices
favourite album: Behaviour in the house, Very relentless in the car
favorite remix: so hard red zone mix

Hello, everyone!

After years reading you all, I finally decided to join the community. I'm not much of a talker in social media, but I think I should try and describe what kind of a fan I am. I'm not an English speaker, but I'll do my best to write properly!

My first PSB memory, the It's a Sin...

Hi all! I'm a Pet Shop Boys fan in South London, celebrating 30 years of being a fan this year. It was mid 1988 that I stole my mum's cassette of Actually, and never gave it back :D The PSBs are hugely important to me because they were the first band I ever loved and kicked off my life-long...

Hello! New Hampshire USA fan here. Have been to several shows including Nightlife in Manchester UK and Fundamental in Houston USA. Hoping to catch a 2018 show at the ROH.

Hi there,

I am a 41 year old guy from Wales, who has been a PSB fan since 1988 and whose first PSB album was Disco .

I have been a lurker on these boards for a while, and thought that I should participate to help keep them going and to be an active, constructive voice in online PSB fandom.

My...

Hello people of the world..

Hi! New American member v excited to be a part of this community.

A little background: so I've worked in my current restaurant kitchen job since I moved to Chicago a couple years ago. I have an obsessive relationship to music and have many favorite artists from a variety of genres (also an...

I am Kaira and I am a kattak dancer. In this type of dance, we need proper combination of music, jewelry, dress-up and obviously dance. Earrings and jewels should be chosen according to the music or theme you are performing.

Greetings, people with obvious good taste in music (and those who just dropped by).

The Pet Shop Boys may not have enjoyed the 1 (count them 1) time they toured Perth in 1995, and may have wondered what were we thinking , but those of us who live here sure as hell enjoyed THEM.

I count myself...

Hi, my name is Anna and I've just joined. I love Pet Shop Boys, especially their last album. It is just terrific! I hope to talk to other PSB fans here and have a wonderful time with you, guys. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Just wanted to say hi, long term PSB fan, but not really done the forum thing before. An electronic musician myself too. Glad to be in good company. I haven't bought all the reissues yet, ulp. Don't beat me!

Don't know why its taken me so long to sign up...but great to see so many fellow PSB fans.

I'm new to forums in general and have a tendency of being a little verbose on You Tube. I'm looking forward to posting and reading other members' comments. Am a writer and a cat lover. I've been a fan of the Pet Shop Boys since the 1980's, until being lured into the moshpit that was 1990's...

Greetings from Mexico

Hello, again. I think

Hi from a fan since West End Girls, all those years ago.

I've got a decent collection, but nothing too rare sadly. Favourite releases are the Being Boring and So Hard remix 12 's, as I love the Farrow designs. Also love the unique sleeve for the Always on my Mind 12 that comes with Actually in...

... that's me, from about 2 days ago (August 5/2017)

I've been a dedicated Pet Shop Boys fan since about 2002 (I know, Johnny-come-lately), but appreciated the singles I heard long before that. Since then, I've built up a fairly large collection, and I'm very excited about the Catalogue project (I have the first three, and I can't wait for Yes and...

...and still am, although Trance is my overall preferred genre choice. But if I need cheering up, 9/10 I choose the list of PSB tracks on my phone. The combination of Neil's voice, the words and stories he sings, and with Chris perfect musical reflection, is just amazing.

My favorite PSB song is...

there's me.... Hi fellow petheads. Love the boys and have done since 83. Seen them in Leeds, Birmingham and Nottingham this year, absolutely fabulous!

Morning all

Long time lurker, first time poster, come to join the discussion.

Hi all,
I've just joined the forum and hope to have some good chats with fellow Pet Shop Boys fans. I saw them a few times recently on their latest tour...loving Super! All the best. :)

Hi, new forum member here. A PSB fan from Melbourne, Australia. Wondering when / if they'll bring the Super tour to Australia ...

Good night! It's my very first time here. Hope to have a great time. Kisses from Barcelona :)

Hi everyone, I am Ana and a newbie to this forum, hope to have a good time here with you all.

Hello from germany.

i am a psb fan since West End girls (Parlophone Release), was a fan club member and still collect vinyl - though i have all of their cds as well.

Apart from PSB i listen to lots different music, from Soul to Punk, from 90s Hip Hop to UK Garage, from Frank Sinatra to John Coltrance. From...

Hello, i love pet shop boys and Erasure as well... i need to say i love Se A vida E and Being Bored.

Hi, I finally just joined up to the Community!

I liked West End girls and Love comes quickly and their videos way back when, but I was a passive fan until the day I brought home Behavior in the autumn of 1990 and became a lifelong devotee.

I always feel grateful my favorite band truly loves what...

In an effort to make it slightly more on topic: I'm about 1/2 way between the ages of Neil and Chris: 58.

Although I've been a member of this general group since my 30's (as we all moved from PSB forum to PSB forum: Dot Music , Sky Forums , etc.).

I always liked the PSB, back in their Imperial...

Hi Petheads,

my name is Tom, i grew up with the boys, they made my musical timeline.
Very early i started to make music, recording all things in a tape recorder,
later on i studdied drums, piano and the sound of all kinds of metall objects.

We really like what Chris and Neil do. Even if the big...

Hi! I'm dami and I have been a Pet shop boys fan since the 80's, well since I heard It's a sin and brought Actually. Went on to purchase please, Disco and introspective, as well as any singles I could find. My favourite tracks from that period are' Opportunities' (the 2nd version) and 'Always on my...

Hello…

Just a few words of salutation, introduction, and admiration. As a Pet Shop Boys fan(atic) since their inception, I look forward to sharing my thoughts, theories, and questions with the members of these forums. I anticipate some interesting discussions!
An avid collector, I became...

Hi there fellow fans! Been a huge fan for years and years - since Please. So there is a clue as to my age. Been lucky enough to see them live a few times and attend a few meet and greets. So glad that I discovered this community and look forward to reading more posts! Exciting year so far fellow...

Well I haven't been part of this community since 2001. You seriously need more threads about sinking ships and eating hamsters, but otherwise all seems good! :)

... had stuff in the laundry at the time. My girlfriend took the pic, and said: Ooh... you should post it .

And then, about half an hour after I posted it here and on FaceBook, she casually remarked... Actually it looks a little gay .

(not that there's anything wrong with that)

Hello everyone. I've been a voracious reader of this forum for years, always been a bit reticent to post, but with the arrival of 'Super' it seems like a good time to dive in a start chatting with you lot. Feel like I know a lot of you already, but of course you won't have a clue about me :) Hoping...

Hi from Nottingham. Been a PSB fan since 1985, Love Comes Quickly grabbed me more than West End Girls, more of a fan of their pop oriented stuff, but still liking Super.

Hey up from Rotherham, not been on here for a while.
Looking forward to the new album.

Cheers

Andy

Hallo PSB FriendsDay fronte Lecce Italy☺☺☺☺

Hello, everyone! My name's Evan, I'm 17 (so if you're wondering if PSB appeals at all to the younger crowd, just know they've managed to draw in at least one person :) ), and I've been a fan of the Boys for about the past year or so.

I knew the Boys because of West End Girls (of course) and What...

...I'm saying Hi.

Hello. I've been a PSB fan since I was 10. I bought 'Introspective' on LP because I had heard the popular American hits up to that point (although I hadn't quite connected the dots as to who the artists were) and I loved those color bars! Really, it was that sleeve.

Anyway, by age 12, I had to get...

Hi, everybody. (Or as I'd say in most local greetings, Hey, y'all. )

I've been a Pet Shop Boys fan since first hearing West End Girls on the syndicated radio show Future Hits on KZ106 out of Chattanooga, Tennessee. (I grew up in a tiny town in northeastern Alabama, about an hour's drive from...
