Gainsbury and Whiting are mentioned at the end of the clapperboard. Looks like they've worked with Sam Taylor-Wood last year. B.Walsh seems to be Baillie Walsh. IMDB Link

This project becomes more interesting by the day. Looks like it's going to be a bit more than just a simple site release.

Now Neil's explanation for the picture has been added:
Shooting a little film yesterday with Sam Taylor-Wood.
They're doing video for this collaboration single? :shock:
By the way, here is (apparently) somehow related article, but just how?
"I think it’s an amazingly good album, I’ve got to be honest with you. It’s one of the albums I feel most proud of. But for people who don’t really know us, and have a sort of an idea about us, ‘Electric’ is more what the Pet Shop Boys are meant to be."
(Neil Tennant, speaking about "Elysium" on the eve of "Electric" release.)

Considering that this features somebody who makes films of sleeping footballers for a living on vocals, couldn't they have at least used a singer to direct the video? Is Sinitta available?

Are Neil and Chris going to be in the video or were they just hanging around there?
Interviewer:
-What would you tell someone about yourself if you wanted to impress them?

Chris:
-I´ve got a 12-inch plonker.

I only pray they don't do a video with Sam Taylor-Wood. She is the most vapid and fashiony alleged visual artist in the world. Her marriage to Jay Jopling of White Cube does not excuse her her excruciating banality in what she throws on gallery walls as "art". Her work is dreadful.

I suppose there's a case to be made that the art of making powerful connections (sleeping with the right guy) ought to be respected and hung in museums. Frankly, sadly, no. I was kindly predisposed and intrigued by Sam TW after PSB's "Je T'aime.."

A decade later, her visual work is the most dull, self obsessed, shallow bunch of photographs imaginable. Her current ads for Bottega Veneta are laughable catalogue work. Sam Taylor-Wood's entire career is due to who she knows and who she blows. PSB are very cozy and friendly with her, fine. But she has not one iota of talent or originality. She knows the right people, and that's all. Her photos are for ladies' fashion magazines to hype because she regularly dines with the editrix. Absolutely amazing that with all that power and access, her career as a visual artist is well-known as a vanity project, narcissistic self-portraits larded with deep signifigance by her media pals, devoid of any shred of soul or formal innovation. Self-advertising, basically.

I tend to agree with this. Even if the eyes of your avatar always make you seem bonkers and hysterical.

Maybe this song will be in "Flashbacks of a Fool" OST?
