Featuring a lugubrious monologue from the Velvet Underground legend, its jagged strings are more reminiscent of that band than anything on Brat

Knowing the PSBs I braced myself to find out the price of this but £40 seems to be pretty good value . I mean, that's only a fiver more than a basic PETHEAD T shirt and the same price as ten sheets of Relentless wrapping paper.
Pet Shop Boys today announce the forthcoming publication of “Volume”, a 592-page hardback book published to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the release of their 1986 debut album, “Please”.

No Time To Die was awful. Best bit was reusing We Have All The Time itw. And graphically blowing up Bond very dead. Made me feel better about the mess that was MI8

It charted w/c November 17 and so was released in the UK on November 11. The November 4 date relates to its first release in Japan. It would not have come out the same week as Bandwagonesque and then have hung around for another week before charting. Thank you.
And 1 week. Released on 4th Nov says Wikipedia

2006 Portugal win the shoot out. The BBC have 30 minutes to come up with a montage that sums up English despair and also incorporates clips from the match.

In an incredible moment they go with an obscure Pet Shop Boys power ballad.

This was the BBC's finest hour.

Episode 4, a good old fashioned “We’re in” terminal hacking scene, hurrah
Episode 3, lord Percy dead from listening to New Model Army (or “punk music” as the often paraphrasing text of the subtitles put it)

Finally got round to Edge of Darkness rewatch. Think I’ve seen it all through 3 times before. Maybe 4

Did I miss an ep of the girl bands docs or are they actually skipping past Girls Aloud because they couldn’t get anyone to go over it again maybe?

Is Berghain a standout on the Rosalia album? I previewed some tracks and nothing struck me as being in the same overwhelming style

🎵 Whatever happened to George Orwell’s Snowball?

Became a sliced pig

In a foot long sandwich

Whatever happened to the hero

(A hero is a type of sandwich)
