'The Resurrectionist' would be a banger of a B-side to on the 'Obscure' dates.

Out of interest, Graham and Chris, did you get tickets for 'Obscure', and how many / which nights? I have tickets for the first night and would love to meet up with you guys before hand. Love your podcast!

Ooh, getting Sarah Wise on the podcast is quite a scoop. Well done. I can't wait to listen to the episode. Love your podcast!

We’ve both got tickets for the opening night too

Cool, me too!

Me three - as much as I'd love to be up front I will more likely be standing at the back with my wife and daughter casually propping up a wall.

Definitely need to meet up somewhere before the gig. Mind you, will you guys be queuing up all day to get to the front? We won't!

I’m still trying to calibrate the logistics of watching my football team in East London in the afternoon, keeping my wife happy and getting to the front at the CEB.

Not sure if getting my wife to start queuing at noon is overly an option.

I have tickets for Monday as well, going with eldest daughter. Will only be second time seeing PSB when I don’t know the set list so really looking forward to it!

️ Episode 33 – Electric ️

“For their season finale, Graham and Chris go full‑throttle at Electric, the album that jolted Pet Shop Boys back into ‘banging and lasers’ mode — and inspired the Pod Cast Boys to embrace the same rule‑breaking, high‑voltage fun. Following Neil, Chris and Stuart Price’s alphabetical recording method, they present the full A–Z of Electric, diving into its wild mix of influences from Italo disco and Madonna to William Blake and Lionel Richie; duty disco doctors witnessing the birth of Elysium’s unruly twin.

There’s the story of how Axis recharged lapsed fans, a headspin into the politics of dancing, and how freedom, faffing and freewheeling joy shaped both the record and this episode.

Plus: listener memories, the x2 origin story, and Escape to the Country — a celebration of Pet Shop Boys at their most liberated.”

Thank you for episode 33. Recaptured the sheer euphoria of Electric and whilst I actually prefer Elysium your podcast served as a reminder of what a brave and innovative album it is. At that stage of their career its astonishing really.

Would love to buy you both a pint in Camden before Obscure Monday night???

Glad you enjoyed it Sounds great

Just to let you know we’ve a big few weeks coming up on the podcast.

We’ve recorded four new episodes which will be out weekly from this Friday.

We’re kicking off with a two‑part celebration of the 40th anniversary of Please, followed by an Obscure preview, and then an episode exploring Pet Shop Boys’ early visual history to tie in with the release of Volume.

As part of the new season we’re also raising money for War Child, launching our first ever In Depth competition, and trying out a few other new ideas along the way too.

If you’re on Facebook, we’d love you to join us - we’re trying to get a few more followers:

Looking forward to this, thank you so much both of you!
