Every year, police and council officials in Edinburgh worry about how they'll cope with the numbers who turn up for Hogmanay. We'd like to think the invitation to Robbie Williams to join the Pet Shop Boys during their New Year appearance was a bid to persuade people they'd be better off staying at home, but, being realistic, the chances are the vague prospect of seeing Williams looning about will only drag more people onto the streets. Didn't he cancel chunks of his tour because he was so exhausted? music pet [...]
Back in Blighty after an all too short week in NYC. I came, I saw, I ate my own body weight in Popeye Chicken and Peanut Butter. As this is supposed to be a music blog I usually try to steer clear of the " Today I went shopping, here's an MP3 of the Pet Shop Boys "S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G " type posts. Sadly I haven't listened to any new music for over a week now, so shamelessly its time for " Last Week I went to NYC, here's an MP3 of the Pet Shop Boys [...]
When Rufus Wainwright took over Carnegie Hall for two nights a few months back to recreate Judy Garland's classic concert of 1961, it was both an homage to her influence and an attempt to be be taken seriously as one...
One date on the Pet Shop Boys' upcoming tour itinerary stuck out to us--Nov. 1, when they'll share a bill with the batter-dipped foodstuffs and demolition derbies of the Arizona State Fair. We'd like to put out an early scene report request to any of our Phoenix-area readers, because we really want to know what happens when a state fair brushes off its dust and gets a little bit more fabulous. (And can you let us know how, exactly, Coca-Cola can be fried ? We're sort of mystified.) Pet Shop Boys - [...]
I pride myself on posting a wide variety of music, but I think this is the weirdest selection of shit I ever put up. Also, that image is from Musicstack , a pretty good site if you are looking for some rare vinyl. Wolfmother - The Earth's Rotation Around the Sun I saw these guys live a few days ago and sweet holy Jeebus do they bring the rock. A lot of people describe them as an updated Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath, but with this b-side they're are obviously [...]

Those who know me best know that I despise academia for everything that it is. I've tried to drop out of college in the past and for some reason I find myself back at the university season and season again. How? Pure evil cannot be analyzed, only feared, vanquished, or submitted to. I've decided to take a new approach toward school and create some sort of positive outlook about the whole ordeal so that I can spare myself the misery of resisting and nearly failing out. How can I improve my attitude so that I will actually [...]
Guess what we're doing today, class? We're dancing! Teacher's made a mix of songs that have the words "dance" or "dancing" in the title to get everyone in the mood. Let's all grab a partner and shake our asses. David Bowie - Let's Dance France Joli - Tonight, I Feel Like Dancing Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days The Sounds - Dance with Me Re-Flex - The Politics of Dancing Toothfairy - Keep Dancing [...]
Every Move A Picture have just released their debut album, and to celebrate that, they offer two songs free on MySpace. If only more artists would think like that! Outlaw (MP3) Simple Lessons In Love And Secession (MP3) Vib Gyor have been to XFM lately to play some songs, and now offer [...]
One from the vaults here, for you whilst I’m listening to the current crop of new albums. Bubadubadubadum ( aka "All My Wasted Time") is a rare Pet Shop Boys demo from the early days, recorded well before they hit it big. It’s a simple, new wave ish synthpop track; with Neil singing along to Chris’s synthesizer, but it works quite well. In fact, that potentially embarrassing "bubadubadubadum" motif is so outrageous that it comes across as charming, if naive. Lyrically [...]
Robbie Williams is planning to take part in a tribute to the Pet Shop Boys . The pop combo, we presume, and not the, uh, supposed rodent fanciers. Robbie will sing one of their songs for a soon-come Radio 2 retrospective. Let's hope he does Opportunities. music robbie williams pet shop boys
