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.
Not a Pet Shop Boys subject as such but very sad news all the same.. :( :( I hope 2017 isn't going to follow the same pattern as 2016..

Sad news about Larry. Bronski Beat had some great songs, as "Smalltown Boy" is an 80's classic of course & I also liked "Hit That Perfect Beat" too. Also, the 12" version of "Why?" is just excellent.
There was a good cover of "Smalltown Boy" by Plastic Noise Experience back in 2006, which I found...
Full LP is now streaming on a couple of music websites, including Rolling Stone and fasterlouder.com.au. I've listened to the first couple of tracks and so far, it hasn't disappointed one bit. Love love LOVE DNA! :dance:

How bad they're back! One of the most terrible new bands in general categories. Tacky and largel than life. Bands like tthis stereotype gay music.
They're not gay or at least one of them most definitely isn't. Categorizing dance music as gay is a stereotype though.
Thanks for letting us know. Tonight I'm DJing at a tribute night to the fallen stars of 2016, so will play the 12" of Why? in his honour.
That's a super tribute. I didn't realise he passed away last year, but of course he did as the recent reports mentioned "last month".
You really must check out this Swedish duo Kite, who have released six EP:s (no albums) since 2008. I'm going to see them live next month for the second time in my hometown. Wherever they play, usually at small clubs, the venues are sold out and they get critically acclaimed as well for their live...

Thanks for the links. Love those two songs. Just got the EP on iTunes.
I'm glad that you like it! Check out their older EP:s as well (V being the greatest). If you've got Spotify they are all available there.
I can recommend especially these tracks: "Ways to dance", "Cannonball", "Johnny Boy",...
So yet another "best of" but also box sets and reissued vinyl!

I just hope they do their own UK tour as I'm not paying silly money for a 30 minute best of gig as I'm not really interested in a Robbie Williams concert myself.
I was at the Erasure party on Friday night and it was a fantastic day. I wish PSB would do something similar. Got to meet them and have a...
Now that Turing has been pardoned and if the Boys are indeed planning to draw attention to others affected by the same injustice, then I understand that this will involve campaigning for pardons for 49,000 "ordinary men" and the one and only Oscar Wilde, so not quite the hundreds and thousands...
Last post
How about expending energies on current injustices and not ancient ones that will effect no one?
They are not that ancient, some affected men must still be alive today I think!
It would also be a huge weight off the shoulders of family and friends. I met Oscar Wilde's grandson a few days ago and...
Hate to say this, but Justice have taken the place of PSB as my electronic heroes. Here's a snippet of one of their new songs, wish PSB still did epic high and mighty songs like this. Super was anything but, and miles away from this unfortunately.

Here's the new single Alakazam in full, you can't not listen to the final 2 mins of this song and not wish PSB would get back to that level of epicness!
LMAO are you serious? Its fooking junk. Its the same 30 seconds on a loop by the sounds of it.
Are there any good souls who wait for this longplay as much as me?
So far we have the lead single "Limbo" which is a traditional abstractive and twisted Yello song:
You could also get "Tool of Love" if you had pre-ordered the album and recently Mark Radcliffe presented another new song (lovely...

I finally got around to listening to it as well. It continues the mellow sound of the previous albums, meaning lot's of soft voiced female singers, which I'm not super fond of, but l'm glad there's quite enough of Dieter's singing there as well. (Also there was Dieter's solo album to make up for...

I saw it back in July and thought it was funny. Like lucienchardon said, if you liked the TV show you'll definitely enjoy the movie. Although not sure it's playing anywhere now but it also helped that the theater we saw it at served alcohol during the film.
So strange from Neil that he doesn t mention 84 killed people...while Orlando he did mention on O.S. Is it because this time only most likely heterosexual lives were wasted?! That is sad..

This disaster is being over analysed again by those in charge. There might be an underlying issue with bottling it but fooking hell, we went out because fundamentally our tactics were atrocious, along with some players being chosen that defied belief. I dont know if an England manager is told to...
I was listening to Bowie's great last two songs "Dollar Days" and "I Can't Give Everything Away" on his postumously realeased (after his death) and final album "Blackstar", when I thought I'd take a browse around iTunes to find a good remastered version of a classic, beautiful, and ever so slightly...

Yes, Where the Wind Blows is a good track. Very much setting the hard rock template for the sound of his Never Let Me Down album.

Such a strange act. Much like the Beatles (even more perhaps) they disbanded when they were on the verge of becoming "too" mature for their audience (I reckon PSB could have done the same around the time of Behaviour...). Their early, soppy schlager-influenced songs are mostly terrible, but in the...

I was genuinely moved upon hearing it as well...not often a pop star from the past could pull off such a feat.

Well Selby wins again playing his B game but when it comes to the psychological part of Snooker, he is up there with Steve Davis and Ray Reardon. Unbelievable powers of concentration and desire. Treats every single shot, frame and match with the same determination.

Listening to the PSB BBC documentery, it looks like they've got a good record deal - total control over their music, etc. Watkins might have had a small part in sealing this deal.
Not sure how I feel about the naming of this album...so Hollywood, actually...but I'm interested to hear what Martin Fry has been up to with Anne Dudley. Here is the track listing:
The Flames of Desire
Viva Love
Ten Below Zero
Confessions of a Fool
Singer Not the Song
The Ship of the Sea Sick...

Mixed emotions about this. Something odd about trying to recapture lightning in a bottle by naming this album after such a classic. I like what I'm hearing from Viva Love, hope the rest of the album is good.
Saw them last night (for the umpteenth time) and thought they were better than ever - on top of their game. Sounded great with an excellent set list and superb projections and lighting.
Cast in Steel (the album) is rather good too.

I'm going to see them tomorrow night here in Berlin. Looking forward to it!
