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.
So it is often discussed that there are many parallels between Doctor Who and Pet Shop Boys. Radiophonic (workshop) David TENNANT etc.
I thought I'd start a Who thread if anyone is interested. Bit late I know but I forgot about this tweet along later to Dalek.
Basically watch it tonight at 7pm on...
I don't often post these , but this lovely new song by Real Lies - who as we know remixed Say it to me - sounds quite a bit We all feel better in the Dark - it certainly shares a vibe. Even if it doesn't it's a great tune

yeah not hearing it, but I am glad you posted that, its a nice track. smooth. plus I like the video. both song and video are atmospheric
I really love this album. Hopes and Fear will always have a place in my heart, the following albums a bit meh to be honest. This latest one is a real gem. Truly heartbreaking lyrics. If you have liked any of their stuff in the past I’d give it a listen.
Standouts for me:
You’re Not Home

Put the Radio On is awesome! I caught both of their Royal Albert Hall shows.
Not sure what you guys think of these but i came across a playlist on spotiify for a band called sinai variant and i really like these 2 tracls. They hve a 3rd but that seems to be a quick and dirty mix or edit and basically a bit naff, but these 2 tracks are good.
Bit random, I know, but I was chatting to someone at the weekend about Betty Boo (who I still have a major crush on). She sang on The Beatmasters record Hey DJ, I Can't Dance (To That Music You're Playing), and also her solo single Doin' The Do. The guy I was chatting to was convinced the...

'Burn it up' and 'Who's in the house' are stone cold 80s classics.
Hi, I am not sure what Louise calls herself now-a-days. (Was Redknapp *Sp?). Anyway, walked past HMV today and I assume it is her new album the album is white and a vinyl version. I am 100% sure it was autographed. So, if you are a fan maybe it's worth looking in HMV. When we went past a couple of...

Oh, this is why she was suing Peppa Pig? For the publicity.
Hey, just wanna ask you guys if you've tried using these custom filtered earplugs from Big Ear ? I was just curious about them and I wanna know first if they're good before I give them a call. Anyway, if you haven't can you recommend something that is also custom made. Thanks!

Sorry, I forgot to look for this post. Sorry, to hear you have got it as well Oznerol. :( maybe able to help/advise you.
Still all please be careful with your headphones! When my Tinnitus gets bad I say to myself it is just "tiredness". Otherwise it will just drive you round the twist.
I remember a few years ago a song was released with a videoclip which featured a lot of album sleeves. They were part of the scenery, much like the "On Social Media" video did. The Introspective lines were in it too, but also a lot of other albums by other artists. I don't remember what song it was...

Wow! I've never seen that before. It's incredible!!!! The song is a nailed on popbanger too!
After reading in the main threads how many of us differ on what we think a well-produced album should sound like (clarity, depth, soundstage etc), I began wondering what kit we all listen on.
My stuff is nice-ish, sorely ageing, mid-range kit.
As part of impending Chorus 30th birthday special release next year. Some other new remixes also to follow.

It starts off well but then is a bit too similar to the original. That said, this is one of the few ‘later’ Erasure tracks I really liked, so it is very welcome, and too many changes would spoil it.
FADE IN: Pet Shop Boys, "Love Is a Bourgeois Construct" - third single from Electric released on 1 SEP 2013. (not '80s, but fits the script)

I have never heard of the Steve Buscemi film. Definitely going to check that out, seems weird casting of Buscemi but according to wiki his first major role.
Just saw the man play live. What an amazing voice he still has!
Anyway, slightly PSB related: there was a playlist of mainly 80s songs before the concert and between the usual well-known stuff, I suddenly heard "Always", the PSB B-side.

I saw his concert in New York in early November and it was fantastic!
FADE IN: " Before Boy George or RuPaul, there was Sylvester! Sylvester was not only a cross-dressing artist, but a VERY talented one. This is one of his biggest club hits in the 80s. It's also probably my favorite track of his. This is also one of my favorite dance hits of all-time. Great, great...

Perhaps we should collectively agree that from this point forward none of us will post any replies to his posts. Then we'll minimise the time we waste on his unusual posts, and his threads will quickly descend down the forum list into obscurity where they belong.
To followers of scienceguy, it will come as no surprise that I hold Neil Tennant in the absolute
highest regard, a personal hero. Olly Anderson has popped up in several posts; that's because I'm
mesmerized by his performance art, style and stage presence. Of course, the ties go well beyond...

Thanks for the link to the clip. Let’s hope they get to perform this together again at some point next year, and with all the microphone levels sorted!

I'm on my third listen now. First time, I turned it off four tracks in, now I'm starting to see something a bit more interesting in all its weirdness.

A solid 7 out of 10 for me. Well worth a listen for any of their fans from those olden days.

I pre-ordered this as signed edition on both cd and vinyl. Am really disappointed. Well, I would be id I actually expected this to be any good or like their previous material.
I did not really enjoy it and after playing it twice I have no desire to return to it.
How strange is this?
The classic DOA music video has been remastered in Ultra HD resolution.
Meanwhile we still don't have It Couldn't Happen Here in even DVD quality.
Wouldn't it be interesting to see PSB footage given this treatment? Though it's pretty unnecessary.
I think the "strolling" parts...

ICCH is a lot more minutes, so that could take a lot more time and money to remaster.
Anyway, in the latest Annually Neil said the original masters were lost but recently (somewhere last year?) found at the Abby Road Studios.

Still no takers. I will up payment for the set-up and testing to $50.
I will pay you $50 just to set up an account with TVG and share the log-in details with me. It will take less than 15 mins of your time.
Decent effort by the Chems this. :up: I've not been following their career closely but seems like Further from 2010 was their last great effort based on reviews.
It's disjointed but I'm really liking it more each listen.

I've listened to it a few times. It doesn't excite me as much as the last one, but sounding pretty good so far. The video to Free Yourself is mental, you should watch it.
Really similar to the aditional PSB score for films or ballets. This one comes from the series La Casa de Papel which is a really good series. Beiling Spanish, it was a top 5 most watched series in the world, the second one on Netflix in 2018 and the most watched show in a non English language on...
Can anyone confirm which version of this great track was released as the single - the album version:

Greetings,
Will I find someone who thinks the same about ACDC here? Just my pure curiosity.
Not really. I don't mind a few of their hits from the 70's (You Shook Me All Night Long, TNT, Jailbreak, It's A Long Way To The Top) but after that I lose interest pretty quickly.
Anyone else got tickets for this tour? I'm off to see them in Bournemouth on Tuesday. I can't believe this will actually be the first time I've seen them live.
I'm avoiding setlist spoilers, but I feel I know their songs well enough to be able to identify each and every one as they play....
