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.
Sad to hear of the passing of Gore Vidal, American writer and thinker.
He had the balls to say things that so many are afraid to say.

The unions would be better off being honest with people: they are protecting their members and their members only. That's what unions do. All the blather about health and safety and standards is propaganda. Mind you, I've no issue with unions protecting their members' interests. Why should any of...
F*cking scandalous really when you think of all the people who tried to get tickets and were unsuccessful. I was out today but when I got in I was watching the tennis and could count the crowd. And this was on a sunny Saturday - the first day of the Games!!!!! Fat corporate c*nts.
On Top from Hot Fuss is another gem of theirs, to go with Smile Like You Mean It, Somebody Told Me, Bones, When You Were Young, Read My Mind, Mr. Brightside, Human, and so on. On Top shares something thematically with Winner, but it's such an exciting, life-affirming, thrilling record by comparison...
Anyhow, moving on, its probably time to lock this thread and send it to the vaults. Season 2011/2012 is nigh.

LOVE The night starts here, I loved it when I got it on the Blank and Jones album and this version is great too. Great group! Thanks for opening my eyes to them.

Federer has to be one of the greatest sportsman of all time.
The three greatest sportsmen I've seen in my lifetime are Maradona, Shane Warne and the Fed. All complete geniuses. Messi's amazing but until he wins the World Cup single-handedly, he'll never match Diego.
Yes, it's the longest day of the year (actually yesterday). And it's hot a lot of the places over the globe. This is where we can bitch about it.
It's 2:30 in the morning here, and over 80 humid degrees outside. The damn A/C can not keep up, and half of the apartment is over 120 degrees. Yesterday...

Japan/Yellow Magic Orchestra inspired club night at The London Stone in Cannon St - Very PSB Friendly!

I'd have been pushing up daisies 15 years ago if I thought prayer to fictitious characters was the answer. Equally so if I'd had to pay for treatment. Good job for me we have the NHS over here.
Just wondering what people think of him accepting this so called honour. For those who don't know him, a talented 'anti-establishment' satirist and comedian whom Alastair Campbell - former Labour spin doctor - has just lambasted for hypocrisy.

New Men Without Hats album is now on Spotify. And for all intents and purposes, it's Rhythm of Youth/Folk Of The 80's Part IV (mixed with a touch of Ivan's solo album). If you ignore the highly ignoble effort in 2003, this is also the first proper album since 1991.

Erm, to be honest, i really liked No Hats Beyond This Point from 2003. It was very hi-nrg-ish! :)
Sure I'm gonna get me this BUT still not a singles boxset. COME ON this band released 2 album 1 SUPERB and 1 average. How long can we keep paying for yet again 1 or 2 tracks??

I'm bored. Let's post itunes playcount lists of our most played songs in various categories, or just overall.
I started using Itunes in february 2009 and has pretty much tracked everything I've listened to ever since, since I very rarely listen to the radio.
My top 15 most played PSB tracks are...

Top 10 of all time* while I'm at it - why not?
1. Sébastien Tellier - Roche (64 plays)
2. Skywatchers - Keep Watching the Sky (57 plays)
3. Pet Shop Boys - Love etc (47 plays)
4. Röyksopp - The Girl and the Robot (45 plays)
5. Skywatchers - Do You Want to Go to Space Young Man? (44 plays)

Greetings,
Kokomo isn't a good example because IIRC it was from a movie (sorry, I can't remember which one - I'm not much of a movie person).
Similarly, even dead people could get to #1 off the back of a movie in the late 80's... Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World" (Good Morning Vietnam?)...
Yayy! The UK got some points and weren't last! Result!
And a Western country won, for once.
Oooops! Did I say that out loud?
Well, its a bit misguided. Sweden won this year, Germany won in 2010, Norway won in 2009. Seems like western Europe is doing just fine.
It was a dig at where it was this...
BTW I was lucky enough to see the tribute to Saturday Night fever with the BBC Concert Orchestra at the Roundhouse a few years ago. A super concert. The Bee Gees are a bit of a ''guilty pleasure'' for me.

I'm surprised theres not much mention of his solo albums How Old Are You and Secret Agent, which have some really good tracks on them!
I've been listening to Sheik Yerbouti on double cassette on my porch for the last 3/4th year and it's brilliant. But obviously not every Zappa album is like this and he has quite the back catalogue. So, what would be the next recommended albums? And, yes, they probably need...

It seems I have a problem playing/ripping some of my CDS / CDM collection on my computer. As the topic title already shows, it's only with CDS / CDM from the WEA label. The thing is, they all sound distorted, but when played on my regular CD player, they all sound fine. There's no fysical damage....
Last post
Thanks for your responses, I didn't know they put copy protection on CD Singles and CD Maxi's. But I don't think that's the issue with my CD's, as they sound distorted when I just play them and this is not the case with other CD's which actually have the copy protection label on them.
Let's each name one album (or more) that is not only probably one of your favorites, but that is transcendent, that leaves the everyday life-world and becomes something deeply meaningful to you. I love Domino Dancing like no other, but it's not exactly "transcendent" if you get my drift.
