a similar word, fundiment, is a polite way of referring to the part of our anatomy often referred to as the a*s-h**e.


Excellent news... now all we need is to know when the single comes out!!

"It's fundamental that what we do only exists in our own universe. When you like Pet Shop Boys, you are in our world."
- Neil Tennant - Melody Maker, 1990

I think it's perfect. Neil has always said this would be a very Pet SHop Boys-ish album, and the title implies that. "Fundamental Pet Shop Boys".

Probably april 10th.

Fundamental Pet Shop Boys is definatley a title in the same vein as Very Pet Shop Boys (as opposed to Release, a title wich signaled something un-PSB)

Yeah, it really sounds like a "Back to the roots" sign and refers to Neil's statement that the new songs will sound like what they're known for - songs like It's a sin etc. Think it makes sense and I'm looking forward to it.

I just noticed that a lot of the songs on the album end in "al".

"Psychological"

"Integral"

"Minimal"


Interesting. The words sound very, how do you say, smart. I'm very excited for this album.

Cool news!
