At last!

Personally, I can't wait to read to hear the exclusive on the new PSB album. Actually I know the release date already:

I'm sure you could afford to buy a gold-encrusted one from Gucci with all the money you've ripped off from fellow fans.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of that free 7" single of the Bing Crosby cover they sent out one Christmas? I'm thinking of doing a cover version of it for the Kaballah Centre. I'll pay the face value, obviously.

My God, that pic of Neil and Jake Shears is the campest thing I've seen all year. :lol:

So have I got this right - Neil celebrated his birthday the day before this year? :?

Anyone received their Literally yet? Madge, did you find what you're looking for? I hear you usually have a white Christmas every year anyway. :wink:

Is it just me or is the newest one thicker than usual?? All in all, pleasing. :up:

Yay! Just got mine. It's nice and thick - just the way I like my Literally's.

And they nearly did include The Resurrectionist on the album...which they really should have of course. Apparently Chris wrote all the music for that.

Also, I am appalled to hear that they actually had to change their performance at Top of the Pops for political reasons.

And Neil is listening to Le Sport 'If Neil Tennant was my lover'...

This is an excellent Literally...the best in several years.

And they seem to have made enough songs this time around for an entire extra album almost:

In addition to those already accounted for:

Ring Road
The Performance of my life
One way street
Dirty Tricks
Dancing in the dusk
China
After the event
The former enfant terrible
Some sort of ouverture for the new album which was not used

Hopefully it won't be another 4 years before the next album...

A classic PSB dialogue snippet:

Neil (speaking on Twentieth Century): I notice a lot of people think it's the weakest track on the album, and I totally disagree with them.

Chris: I think it's the weakest track on the album.
