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.
Yesterday I made a visit to Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark. I took some pictures, although it turned out that it was not allowed to take photographs in this particular part of the exhibition. I couldn't resist these "PSB-related" works:

We´ll have Dúhový Pride (Rainbow Pride) in Bratislava (it was about time!!) on May 22. I´m really curious how the reactions of the public will be, because Slovaks are rather an intolerant nation :x and this will be for the first time that something like this is going to happen in Slovakia.

I pretty sure I like New Jack Swing, but I've really only heard Bobby Brown and Seriously and a couple other tunes. Are there any other winners in the genre?
Last post
I would say the father of New Jack Swing is arguably not Bobby Brown (at times he was very pop) but Al B. Sure. His first album was CLASSIC!
"Night and Day" (a ballad, but none the less, New Jack) was his biggest hit, but the other songs are great as well.
I'm mostly friends on Facebook with people I know (or have known) but there are a few that I'm friends with only because we share the same interests in music or entertainment (mostly, Prince fams).

I keep my songs in files by era (such as Yes Era 2008-2010) and then by many smaller folders. If I save them in folders by single as mole is doing I'd never know where anything was.
The purpose of this, was just to make some of the more obscure tracks on an additional CD single.

How surprising that someone found the Madonna episode of Glee disappointing.
I know, iconic 80's pop stars, hm..
It's just television. Enjoy the silly, or don't.
Don't get me wrong... I love a lot of Madonna's songs but the overall episode disappointed me. I expected more from it.
I'm about to take the plunge and purchase an iPod. Before I do, I wondered if any owners might be able to clear up some points...
1) If I upload a file from my PC to my iPod, do I have to also keep it on my PC?
2) If I delete a file from my PC, will it be removed from my iPod when I 'redock'?...

Does the iPod Touch support WAV files?
Yes, but using uncompressed audio on an iPod Touch is a bit like trying to use a reel-to-reel deck as a walkman. Takes up lots of space and isn't pretty (no artwork, ID3 tags, or anything like that).

I believe if you look at Patrick Bateman's avatar that will answer your question.
OK, time for some PSB philosophy of mind and sound. Paninaro is an amazing song, I think 90 plus percent of fans agree. It's almost the essence of the Pet Shop Boys moreso than any of their popular singles. Well, at least the essence of a Chris-written PSB record. But what makes it great? It's...

I've been messing with the Minimal CD single again. Love the UMX software. But I have never been able to figure out how to save it to a better format a la mp3 or such. Anyone know how?

Here's the relevant thread. Just tried it myself and seems to work fine. Although I'm also getting the odd glitch in the sound.
The old v2.4.5 version that is on the Minimal CD is a bit buggy, though that can export fine with the hack. A newer 3.0.1 version was also released on the old U-MYX...

Music critics are frustrating. I largely stay far away from magazines like Rolling Stone. But this guy is supposedly one of the top music critics of all time. And he is referenced by people on here from time to time. So I think it's fair to discuss some of his reviews I find inexplicable.
the best music artists from each decade. Mmm, lets say top 3 or whatever you want from each one, starting from the 60's. And if you need rules, lets say the artist is associated with the decade they became big, like U2 technically started in the 70's, but they truly came from the 80's.

Why not? As good a place as any I figure. It's not like those with a PHD in philosophy have any better answers on this stuff than anyone else. I also figure Pet Shop Boys fans here seem just as likely as anyone to have read Kant as far as the general population is concerned.

So I love the tracks at the beginning of Chris's Back To Mine disc. But it looking for more music of the same genre, I can only seem to find crap. Bobby O produced albums by the Flirts are also not so good. Can anyone recommend some goo ITalio Disco with some sort of decent songwriting and singing?

Koto are clearly the best of that genre in my opinion. Just make sure you get the real Koto and not the guy who bought the rights to the name afterwards.

For the longest time Jarvis Cocker's 2006 solo album didn't do much for me. And then I only downloaded his recent album and hardly listened to it.

I don't recall Neil or Chris ever mentioning the Swiss band Yello as their influence, but, in one way or another, they have to be. After all, they invented acid house with their 1980 album Solid Pleasure and the single Bostich although they had done other similar songs even before that....
