[jasonjohn]

actually, I Get Excited would be a fun opener

they need something topical to the occasion, and getting excited is it, or Hit Music

We're The PSB has been used on Fundy tour.

Got an inkling they will change it up lots everyday.... just too many tracks

[retrofuturist]

Greetings,

What I find interesting is whether all songs themselves will be "obscure", or whether we'll get some obscure arrangements of slightly less obscure songs.

One More Chance, 1984 style?
Rent, the faster Heaven (almost Carter-esque) arrangement?
How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously, rock style?

Retro.

From the 22 tracks I'd most like to hear, I picked the 10 that feel to me most likely:

Bet she’s not your girlfriend
Do I have to?
I get excited (You get excited too)
We all feel better in the dark
We’re the Pet Shop Boys

I made my excuses and left
I want to wake up
My October symphony
Nervously
To face the truth
