from today's "Playlist" in New York Times:
The Killers and the Pet Shop Boys
Somehow it’s a perfect match: those brash upstarts from Las Vegas united with those mischievous dance-music pioneers from Britain. Track down the import single of “Read My Mind,” the Killers’ latest, and you’ll be rewarded with an effective Pet Shop Boys remix, featuring backing vocals from both Boys, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe. Just what this song needed: some crashing synthetic drums and some extended dubby breaks, along with choral buildups that make a grandiose rock ballad even grandioser. Who needs guitars when you’ve got music machines this precise?
