Pet Shop Boys

Just on the topic of PSB general discussion stuff then:

I saw a top 40 Pet Shop Boys best-selling singles thing on TMF last week and was surprised to see (if i'm recalling correctly) that So Hard was at number 10 - i had no idea the song was so successful.

I think my favourite PSB song changes all the time but i've always had a soft spot for Paninaro '95. I just love it, the song, the video - everything about it

Hurrah!

I love watching my Pop Art DVD even if Neil scares me in the original Oppurtunities video.

it scares me too - that bit where his face kinda expands and his voice gets all vocodered

Also, in the extended Dance Mix you get the rather haunting spoken word outro 'all the love that we had and the love that we hide, who will bury us when we die?'

It comes from the original release of the single (the pre-West End Girls-hit release that got to #121 in the UK) and they removed it from the 2nd version because they found it too pretentious.

Yeah I watched that too - I think all the songs in Top 10 bestselling were (unsurprisingly) there 80s hits, with the only exceptions being So Hard at 10 and Go West at 6 I think.
It was annoying but not surprising to see some there finest singles so low down the list in terms of sales, such as Flamboyant, which was 38th I think.

Strangely, they claimed the title of "Yesterday When I Was Mad" as "Yesterday When I Was Mad I Was Serious", which was a bit odd!
