Episode 31 - Disco 5 (part one)

“Disco 5 has landed, and Graham and Chris are remixing everything — even themselves. In part one of this two‑episode celebration, they rewind through the Disco series’ chaotic legacy, spar with Noel, redefine Tina, unmask Claptone, and spotlight Carroll Thompson, Soft Cell and The Hidden Cameras as they uncover surprising connections across Pet Shop Boys history. But - Disco Demolition alert - what would Graham’s remixed tracklist look like?”

That’s great to hear, thanks for letting us know Hope you enjoy the new one.

Great stuff Chris and Graham as always! ... really enjoyed the 30 at 30 episode. As a long time Londoner the 'Paninaro up the escalators' bit made me chuckle.

I'm not interested in acquiring Disco 5 but looking forward to the latest episode and getting your take on it.

Glad you liked it. Listing our favourites felt a bit risky but at least we had the fact it was a combined list to fall back on!

Episode 32 - Disco 5 (part two)

“It’s the second Disco 5 In Depth episode, and Graham and Chris’s wayward moves take them from the dancefloor to the art gallery - where they encounter orgasm addict Sam Taylor-Johnson and rodent fanatic Wolfgang Tillmans.

Meanwhile, at the Disco 5 launch party, it’s time for some difficult questions: would you rather be a live Sex Pistol or a dead Pet Shop Boy? Is Paul Weller gay? What did Olly do next? And are Sleaford Mods for real? It’s like punk never happened!

Plus: buckle up for Chris’s tracklist remix, and some speculation as to what life might be like when Disco 6 arrives. Will any of us will be around to hear it?”

Wait... the Dust Brothers who did the soundtrack of Fight Club are the Chemical Brothers?

Actually, no… The Chemical Brothers originally called themselves The Dust Brothers in homage to the American producers, but then changed their name when they started to get big.

I can imagine... it can get be pretty confusing

Something different from us this week

Further Listening mini-episode 1:
Sarah Wise & The Resurrectionist

“In the first instalment of what promises to be an occasional Further Listening series, Graham and Chris delve into the Pet Shop Boys’ b‑side and fan favourite The Resurrectionist. Joining them is historian and author Sarah Wise, whose acclaimed book The Italian Boy inspired Neil’s macabre lyric about 1830s body snatching and the grisly trade in corpses.

A devoted Pethead herself, Sarah reflects on her fandom while spilling the guts on the chilling history behind her work. Together, they explore how Victorian true crime found its way into pop music—and whether The Resurrectionist might finally resurface at next year’s Obscure shows.”
