He also says: "Chris is working on the record as well", refering to, as I interpret it, GAWI. Neil also says something about being too shy to go by himself so Chris came along as well.

He actually says "..think they're crap". Jokingly of course.

English not your first language?
People say 'holy crap' as a surprised reaction to something, not as a way of deliberately expressing an opinion.

Anyway yes I remember the interview. It's from 1993 when Bernard was practically imitating PSB, obviously the quote is out of context if you just write out what was said. "I think they're crap". The question "So, what do you think of the Pet Shop Boys' music?" Was after already asking about what Electronic is, and after Barney spoke highly of Neil & Chris so it was a dumb question from the interviewer hence the sarcastic response through a large grin.

Pet shop who?

It's a joke obviously.

Looking forward to meeting up with New Order next week in Toronto for rehearsals and then the first Unity Tour show! Neil x"

Rehearsing together? Interesting.

oh hello?!

Woke up to see that Pete liked my insta post asking if there is any chance of playing a few Electronic tracks!

My goodness - this could actually be happening

That would be really amazing!

But please don’t interpret too much into a like from Pete. He sometimes likes promising questions/comments and then nothing in this direction happens.

As much as I would like to hear Electronic tracks, I don't see that happening without Marr on stage. I think it's more likely that they will collaborate on another track, either a cover version, or one of each other's songs. Both bands are big on collaborations so not doing something together on stage - and "honoring" the tour name - makes no sense.

Whatever they do, I’ll watch it on YouTube and then in a year when they release it on dvd.

Can we expect at Least for Chris to provide the vocal for Subculture?
