I love the Pet Shop Boys, in fact they are my "Band of the Week" on my Live Journal this week!

Hey scuba, if you want that song compilation, I can send it to you. If you want it just send me your e mail address.

Hi again, thanks I appreciate your offer, but I only like buying the originals... I'm not into copying their music. I like to support them. [:D] I totally appreciate the offer though!!!

I couldn't resist to post - PSB have supplied me with endless amounts of great listening!

Some of my favorite tracks are:

the End of the World
the Survivors
Being Boring
It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas
Left to My Own Devices
Young Offender
DJ Culture
Nervously
A Red Letter Day (Trouser Autoerotic Decapitation Mix)
Rent
Se A Vida é
Suburbia (The Full Horror)
We All Feel Better in the Dark
So Hard
In Denial
It's a Sin
Disappointed (Single Mix) - After all, where would Sumner and Marr now be without the PSB? What a team!

Has anyone else read "Literally"? What did you think of it?

Being Boring (their outright best song)
Later Tonight
West End Girls

Parinaro
Heart
Jealousy

Oh my gosh, I'm a PSB nut. Been to shows, autograph sessions, hung out at backstage doors to talk to them. Almost my entire PSB collection is autographed by them. At least 50 discs, books, etc.

I think they have some of the best remix singles as they work with such reknown producers like David Morales, Thunderpuss, Brothers in Rhythm, Peter Rauhofer, the list goes on. The Boys themselves are excellent producers.

Sorry, but I really DISLIKED them - Neil Tennant's nasal whine drove me to nearly pluck my own ear-drums out with my fingers. Again, sorry - I know music is very subjective.

So Our band has been considering a cover of a Pet Shop Boys song.
The obvious choice may be West End Girls, but I'd rather do something different, more upbeat, but still fairly well know to the die hard fans of PSB. Any suggestions? Our band does all New Wave Covers.

What about the song It's a Sin? That was a pretty big hit too, I believe. And it is rather upbeat.

we had talked about doing It's a Sin, but weren't 100% on it yet.
Any other suggestions.

BTW, I have the original picture sleve 12" for it, beautiful glossy cover on both sides as well as the sleeve insert. Cool.

I see that PSB have remixed the latest Rammstein single.
It is based upon the famous killing/cannabilism case in Germany.
The German name of the song translates into ?"My Penis".
No, I couldn't make this up!

I think "Before" and "I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Anymore" are two of the best songs they ever did. I completely love those smooth and silky strings. So disco like. The bass, the rhythm. I think I have to put them on right now.

The local newspaper did an interview with me.
Check it out!
