Well, Colind And Edith & Rob De Bank have been the only ones who have remembered to PSB and played their records (C & E have made an interview to them and they have said Fundamental is one of the best albums of the year, if they don't play more PSB is because Radio One doesn't want to include them in their playlist). So, for me, Colin & Edith have done a good thing. Even, Jk and Joel have said that I'm with stupid was a really good song (I believe they like PSB's music).

You can blame to Chris Moyles, Coxy and company.

I think Chris Moyles quite likes PSB too and so does Scott Mills. It's not the DJs who are the problem, it's the music programmers at the station who have decided PSB are no longer R1 material.

What's Moyles ever said about PSB? A remember a few years ago him saying something about the gayness (yawn). Scott Mills had New York city boy as his record of the week when he stood in on the breakfast show back in the day. The only time i ever heard it on radio 1.

I remember Moyles saying he liked the Pet Shop Boys a few years ago but 'Comedy' Dave hated them.

I'm sure I remember Moyles playing West End Girls once and saying how much he loved it and how he remembered buying it back in 1985/86. But I could just be imagining it.

If only Minimal had been the first single, as originally planned, stuff like this might have mattered. Still, I'm happy they're finally getting some Radio 1 airplay.

You're imagining it. The only records he ever bought were by Bad Manners and Michelle McManus.

You're obsessed with airplay charts and Radio 1! I bet you have a shrine to Bruno Brookes in your toilet.

I would like to see PSB again at the top of the charts it would be great, that's all. I'm not obsessed with that but I would like to see it (the info of futurechart is really interesting).

But if we talk about obsessions, what about your obssesion searching old threads (like the ones which talked about Numb)?.

a) It's not going to happen. Deal with it. It's not the 80s.
b) Well you should know - you started most of the threads! :lol:

More of them are dated now. I don't see the reason to talk about them again (one year later).

On may other forums members are encouraged to do a search to make sure the item they want to post has not been mentioned already. A similar search here would have meant that there was no need for 23 separate threads all about Numb but to keep the forum tidier and easier to read all relevant info in one place. The Robbie album thread is a good example.
