THE BEATMASTERS – WHO’S IN THE ACID HOUSE This episode of Turn The Beat Around paid tribute to one of the most inventive production teams to emerge from late‑80s London: The Beatmasters. Across the hour, we explored how Manda Glanfield, Paul Carter and Richard Walmsley stepped out of the commercial jingle world and helped shape the sound of early British house and hip‑house. The special traced their rise from underground club innovators to chart‑breaking hitmakers, revisiting genre‑defining singles including “Rok Da House,” “Burn It Up,” “Hey DJ / I Can't Dance…” and “Who's In The House.” We also spotlighted their transition into one of the UK's most in‑demand production teams, contributing to major releases for Pet Shop Boys, Tina Turner, Yazz and their chart‑topping work with The Shamen. Across the hour, we celebrated the trio's fearless fusion of rap, house, pop and rave energy — a sound that cracked open the UK charts and left a permanent mark on club culture.

In a monumental week for music news, Annie and Nick sit down to discuss their thoughts on Madonna's long-awaited Confessions II – after months of worrying it might be anticlimactic, what do they think about the album? And Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had one of the most musically relevant weddings of all time but what should we learn from their rumoured choice of first dance song? And are there any rules we should stick to for wedding playlists? Plus, Wonderwall is having a moment in the 2026 World Cup, could Oasis get involved if England make the Final? Annie and Nick also speak to the incredible producer and musician, James Ellis Ford, about his upcoming album. James has produced albums for Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, Florence and the Machine, Jessie Ware, Fontaines D.C., Carly Rae Jepsen, the Pet Shop Boys, and so many more. He talks to Annie and Nick about how he works with artists to create truly brilliant music, and how it was to make this latest solo album in a completely isolated and daunting environment – a hospital room.

八十年代末到九十年代，当虞笙还叫虞洋，电子乐兴起，像Pet Shop Boys的歌很纯粹。九十年代常玩电子音乐派对，像 Fatboy Slim 的 Praise You和 Underworld 的Born Slippy 都令人难忘。回忆起那时在北京的生活，中午起床，和乐队成员住通州，在唐朝演出挣了钱养活大家。日常看盗版文艺电影、听音乐、玩乐队、深夜聊天，无计划性，特别自由。那时的生活就是梦想，现在想想，那种乌托邦状态令人怀念。铁风筝乐队的新专辑很快会上线，大家可以期待一下！封面是2004年我和听Born Slippy时期的虞洋在三里屯九霄俱乐部的合影。Pet Shop Boys - West End GirlsFatboy Slim - Praise YouUnderworld - Born Slippy (NUXX)铁风筝 - 寻找尤托匹亚

'The Wow! Signal' nos ha parecido el mejor disco de Muse desde 'Drones' (2015). El nuevo trabajo de la banda británica suena más centrado e inspirado que sus tres últimos, su álbum más conciso y completo, con una combinación perfecta entre arreglos orquestales épicos y cinematográficos y potentes riffs de guitarra proteicas. El nuevo álbum del trío formado por Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme y Dominic Howard protagoniza los primeros minutos de esta sesión: te contamos detalles de las canciones y el trasfondo del disco, así como los planes del grupo para la espectacular escenografía de su gira. También nos detenemos en el sobresaliente disco que Temples han lanzado hoy, 'Bliss', un trabajo en el que el grupo de neopsicodelia expande su horizonte sonoro inspirándose en la electrónica de Underworld, Faithless, Massive Attack o Portishead. Y seguimos celebrando que es Viernes Eléctrico con cañonazos de Soulwax, Pet Shop Boys, Klaxons, New Order, Digitalism o Metronomy, entre otros. Playlist:MUSE - The Dark ForestMUSE - The Sickness In You & I MUSE - Hush (feat.

Eamon Sweeney discusses Pet Shop Boys Volume, a book marking the fortieth anniversayr of their debut Please.  

Isolated during the COVID pandemic, director Andrew Haigh (LOOKING) wrote a feature about a man trying to break out of isolation and loss...and peppered it with the dance-pop hits that made him feel less lonely as a gay teen in the '80s.Andrew tells host Rico Gagliano about the cathartic making of his award-winning tearjerker ALL OF US STRANGERS (2023), and gives a song-by-song breakdown of almost every tune in the film, from Pet Shop Boys to Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Our audio documentary podcast returns with a sequel to our popular 2023 season that dives deep into the grooves of classic movie “needle drops.”  Titled “Needle on the Record, Side Two,” in each episode host Rico Gagliano tells the story of a film that fused music and image to make magic—and sometimes, changed popular culture.AFTERSUN is now streaming on MUBI in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Latin America.THE HISTORY OF SOUND is now streaming in the US and Canada.To stream some of the films we've covered on the podcast, check out the collection Featured on the MUBI Podcast.

Episode 201: Pet Shop Boys – Please (1986) – Part 2 Welcome to Part 2 of Brian and Sarah's discussion of Please, the debut album from the Pet Shop Boys. In Part 1, our hosts set the stage by talking about the formation of the band, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe's work with Bobby Orlando, the recording of the album with producer Stephen Hague, and the release and reception of the album. Along with special guest Andrew Dineley, our hosts also shared their personal histories of becoming familiar with Pet Shop Boys' music and their memories of the album Please. In this episode, it's time for Brian and Sarah to start talking about the actual album tracks. However, Brian decides that instead of hosting a music podcast, he instead wants to start a math podcast! This seems to have been triggered by the title of the album's opening song, "Two Divided By Zero."  Thankfully, this math podcast idea seems to be short-lived, and the two hosts get back to discussing the music on the album. But it's not without some additional detours into academic subjects such as history and literature. There are references to pop culture as well, such as the 1986 Sprite soft drink commercial featuring Kurtis Blow, and a mention of Brian's dearly departed Apple IIe computer. The second track on Please is one of the biggest songs of the 1980s. "West End Girls" has an interesting history, as two different versions of the single were recorded and released. Brian and Sarah talk about both versions, and then go on to discuss reviews, chart positions, the video, and much more. Because there's so much to say about this iconic song, our hosts decide that Part 2 is more than long enough discussing just the first two songs on the album.  So settle in on the late train—or wherever you like to listen to podcasts—and check out this epic-length episode!

In his new book “Mighty Real: A History of LGBTQ Music 1969-2000” music critic Barry Walters looks at how music produced and performed by gay and straight musicians has been embraced, celebrated, and defined by queer culture. As he notes, queer musicians “have made an art of saying what can't be overtly said” and their LGBTQ listeners “have learned to hear what others can't.” Walters traces the influence of rockers, pop stars, country crooners, R&B artists and disco queens from David Bowie to Sylvster, the Village People to the Petshop Boys, Grace Jones to k.d. lang. We talk to Walters and hear from you: What's a song that helped define queer culture for you?

Paul McCartney got dragged for writing “silly love songs” and then turned the criticism into a No. 1 anthem. We start with that 1976 chart run, the irony baked into the lyrics, and the way one summertime hit can glue itself to your memory, right down to the bicentennial vibe and what was playing everywhere you went. From there we jump 50 years forward to McCartney closing out Saturday Night Live with Will Ferrell, and we get real about what it means to watch a living legend perform at 83. We talk vocals, stamina, song selection, and why it matters that Paul isn't trying to “fix” aging with tech. Then the night gets even better: the Chad Smith confusion joke, the classic Ferrell deadpan, and the surprise after-show energy where cowbell and Beatles staples (“Help” and “Drive My Car”) light up the room. We round things out with what we're listening to now and what still holds up, including our new “What's Mooving Me” pick from Drivin N Cryin, plus “Minute with Jimmy” on The Rolling Stones' “In the Stars.” That opens the door to Sticky Fingers at Muscle Shoals, the legacy issues around “Brown Sugar,” the story behind “Wild Horses,” and a quick run through Heart, Yoko Ono, Pet Shop Boys, and Depeche Mode's media critique in “New Dress.” If you like classic rock history, pop culture moments, and music talk that's equal parts funny and thoughtful, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.

Hur mycket av Tidöpartiernas ändringsbudget är valfläsk? Kan partiernas valfilmer locka osäkra väljare? Och, tidigare SD-ledamoten Katja Nyberg åtalas. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Den globala energikrisen gör att Tidöpartierna lägger fram en extra ändringsbudget på 17,5 miljarder kronor. Bland annat sänks skatten på bensin och diesel. Är det ett nödvändigt krispaket för att hjälpa hushåll och företag, eller handlar det mest om valfläsk för att skapa optimism bland väljarna? Den före detta Sverigedemokraten Katja Nyberg åtalas för olovlig körning, rattfylleri, ringa narkotikabruk och innehav av narkotika. Nyberg nekar hon till brott. Därmed fortsätter historien som började när Katja Nyberg var inblandad i en trafikolycka på Värmdö i slutet av förra året. Sverigedemokraterna har uteslutit Nyberg, men vad innebär det här för partiet? Och på vilket sätt kan Nyberg, som är kvar i riksdagen som vilde, påverka det politiska arbetet?Både Moderaterna och Socialdemokraterna har smugit igång sina valkampanjer och lanserat filmer. Moderaternas film är tämligen traditionell och hyllar hårt arbetade människorna, kan det locka nya väljare? Socialdemokraterna använder mer humor i sina nya filmer, men anklagas av plagiat av Miljöpartiet. S-filmerna har också likheter med SVT:s humorprogram Grotesco. Har Socialdemokraterna hittat rätt väg eller kommer de bli stämda? I dagarna kom också en valsång signerad det moderata oppositionsregionsrådet Axel Conradi. Blir den Pet Shop Boys-doftande danslåten bli en hit eller mest något för danssugna Muf:are?Tisdag – Det politiska spelet i tisdags ställde frågan om politiken redo för AI? Regeringen säger att Sverige ska bli ett av världens bästa AI-länder, oppositionen varnar för att AI kan leda till högre arbetslöshet.

OBSCURE SOUNDS 2013 - EDITOR “Subway” provides a glimpse of '80s synth-pop nonchalance, like how The Pet Shop Boys did and continue to do. The vocal delivery is instantly hypnotic, a hushed spoken-word approach that resembles a slowed-down version of the verses within Pet Shop Boys' “Rent”. Underneath this exists tightly constructed warbles of synths; a popping synth plays hopscotch with a robotic kick drum, as a looser key-laden melody adds appreciated spontaneity. The lyrics love the use of non-sequitur, but they concoct a stoned serenity nonetheless: “I love Sex Pistols ‘cuz they're fun, I love to dance when I'm drunk.” The words tend to drift in and out like drunken ramblings. It's raining out, and you had a few too many. There won't be another train for an hour or two. Might as well take another from the flask. It's bleak and lonesome, but purely intoxicating regardless. Mark Moreno and Norwegian electronic group Flunk have made a great collaboration with “Subway”, a culmination of various electronic veterans who have been at it for decades.

Episode 200: Pet Shop Boys – Please (1986) (Featuring Andrew Dineley of "Art on Your Sleeve") – Part 1 and Colours of Ever announcement The 200th "regular" episode of Permanent Record Podcast is here! ("Regular" excludes special episodes and the PRP 007 Mini-Broadcasts, which don't follow the same numbering scheme.)   Brian and Sarah wanted to do something big and special for episode 200, so they chose to cover an album which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary: Please, the debut album from the Pet Shop Boys. And to make the episode even bigger and more special, they invited the charming and talented Andrew Dineley to join in on the conversation. Andrew, as you probably already know, is host of the excellent "Art on Your Sleeve" podcast, as well as proprietor of the fabulous Soft Octopus Design Studio and contributor to Classic Pop magazine. This first episode in the Please series sets the stage for what's to come. Brian and Sarah look back to the pre-Pet Shop Boys days of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe and recount the story Neil and Chris's first meeting. Our hosts then follow the journey of the Boys' musical collaboration, which takes us from Chelsea, to Camden Town, to New York City, and back to London, and introduces us to characters such as Ray Roberts, Bobby Orlando, Tom Watkins, and Stephen Hague.  Andrew Dineley joins the conversation to provide insight on the design aspects of Please such as the original album cover concept, the final cover design done by Mark Farrow, as well as a few of the single covers. He also shares stories about and from Pet Shop Boys' first manager, Tom Watkins, and Andrew recalls his first exposure to Pet Shop Boys music-- on a children's show with eerily-animated pound notes! And, we even get to hear about a chance encounter recently Andrew Dineley had with OMD's Andy McCluskey! As is usual with PRP album discussions, the release history, chart positions, and reviews of Please are covered in this episode, as well as Brian and Sarah's personal history with the album, which Brian feels slightly embarrassed to share.  And because it's the big 200th episode, several listeners sent in voicemails to mark the occasion, and our hosts happily share those messages as well.  Finally, as if that's not enough, Brian has exciting musical news of his own to share, about yet another synthpop duo. This duo, called Colours of Ever, consists of Brian and his longtime friend Jason, and they've released their first single on Bandcamp! Check them out at https://coloursofever.bandcamp.com/ .

That is followed by my chat with Pet Shop Boys fan Colin whilst he was queueing to see them at The Electric Ballroom. Why did I do this? Why is it on a metal podcast?

Episode 38 – Obscure: After the Event United by a shared love of one band, Graham and Chris close Season Six with their most personal episode yet - a sun‑drenched, queue‑length, bladder‑testing, heart‑thumping deep dive into Pet Shop Boys' Obscure concerts at Camden's Electric Ballroom. What begins as a simple “after the event” recap quickly becomes a full‑blown oral history of the week London turned into PSB City: 5am superfans, numbered wristbands, Chicken Shop suitcase storage, tactical toilet breaks, merch‑lounge carpets, and the strange, beautiful camaraderie of a crowd who'd waited forty years for a night like this. From there, the Pod Cast Boys relive the gigs in forensic, front‑row detail - the dry ice, the wallow‑heavy setlist, the thrill of seeing their heroes in person, and the emotional punch of hearing deep cuts in a tiny room with 1,500 ecstatic fans and their closest friends.  They celebrate new drummer Max Blunos' death metal roots, legacy guest stars Sylvia, Mark and Johnny F-ing Marr, Neil's lectern‑top lyric folder, and the five times an entire ballroom embraced the words: “Tonight - no hits!” Along the way they revisit their own “scientific” setlist predictions, the chaos of their travel logistics, decode “the vibe”, and share the joy of experiencing Pet Shop Boys with lifelong friends, new global acquaintances, and a surprising number of people wearing In Depth T‑shirts. Finally, they wrap the season with the inaugural In Depth Obscure Awards - honouring the strangest, boldest, most unexpected moments of the Obscure era - and reflect on why these shows felt like a celebration not just of PSB's deep cuts, but of their own teenage imperial phases too. A gig diary; a fan documentary; a tribute to the power of community - the perfect finale to a season that's traced four decades of Pet Shop Boys from Please to Volume to Obscure.

We speak with Maxine Leonard, publisher and editor in chief of ‘Beauty Papers’. Plus: Eleanor McKay, editor of ‘The Island’ an Australian publication about Phillip Island and San Remo. Then: Chris Heath, author of ‘Pet Shop Boys Volume: The Complete Visual Record’.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Volume - Pet Shop Boys' complete visual history - finally landing, Graham and Chris open the book and step straight into four decades of meticulously crafted pop iconography. Using the anniversary of Please as their start point, they trace how the duo's visual world was forged even before chart success. They begin with their earliest photo shoots: Eric Watson's ripped T‑shirts and tennis racquets; the Tottenham flat where friendships, romances and future lyrics intertwined; and the stark, stylish images that helped define the PSB aesthetic. From there they follow the thread through XL Design, ZTT's manifesto-driven maximalism, Factory's cool minimalism, and the arrival of Mark Farrow - the designer who would help turn Pet Shop Boys sleeves into modern art. Along the way they revisit the key visual turning points: the first Boy cap, the tartan‑trousered Brixton showcase, the “don't look triumphant” Top of the Pops performance, the industrial luxury of the West End Girls sleeve, and the early videos where Neil and Chris perfected the art of doing… practically nothing. But are they “art”, or just “dead arty”? By exploring the images, collaborators and ideas that shaped Pet Shop Boys' visual identity, Graham and Chris paint a podcast portrait that uncovers how PSB instinctively understood that pop should look as good as it sounds.

When was the last time you were bored? Nadia, Jem and Keir wonder if ennui is a feeling that belongs in the past – and what a boredom-free life might be missing. Is compulsive scrolling a modern symptom of boredom? Why are spiritual practices often based around tedious repetition? Do bored workers make better organisers? What about the “stuckness” experienced by migrants, or the drudgery of housework? The gang offer their theories of Boredism (and Post-Boredism) in a perfectly mind-numbing Trip, with ideas from Lukács, Gramsci, the Pet Shop Boys and loads of 1970s punk.

With Pet Shop Boys preparing to dive deep into their catalogue for five intimate Obscure shows at Camden's Electric Ballroom, Graham and Chris roll up their sleeves for their most forensic fan investigation yet: can two amateurs really predict the ultimate non‑singles setlist? First they uncover the historical clues - the 40th anniversary of Please and a rediscovered 1986 photoshoot - before following the evidence to the duo's early‑80s Camden stomping ground and a 1984 Pits and Perverts benefit, the Barfly's legendary 200‑capacity War Child fundraiser, and the Electric Ballroom's own independent wrestling pedigree. From there, they plunge into the outer edges of the Tennant/Lowe universe: Further Listening deep cuts, lost intros, 28‑minute Bobby O experiments, Japanese / Czech collaborations, and the question of which Pet Shop Boys track is the most obscure ever. Along the way they weigh up fan favourites, Radio 2 poll results, Chris Lowe's own 2008 fantasy setlist, dream merch ideas, and the songs their own In Depth listeners most want to hear. What emerges is a gloriously over‑engineered, spreadsheet‑driven, “scientific” prediction of the Obscure setlist - complete with debates about staging, guests, new arrangements, and whether or not the shows will see them strip back to just two men and a very dependable laptop. Part history lesson, part detective story, part love letter to Pet Shop Boys' deepest cuts - this is the perfect warm‑up for the most anticipated Pet Shop Boys concerts in decades.

Neil Tennant co-wrote a musical at Primary School and soon decided that “learning other people's songs was hard work compared with making up your own”. He's chosen some from the Pet Shop Boys' 40-year catalogue, hits and obscurities, in ‘One Hundred Lyrics and a Poem', just out in paperback, and added fascinating notes about their context and composition. This very funny and revealing conversation lands on the following … ... the first song he ever wrote … auditioning for Rocket Records in 1975 … does songwriting have rules? … how Chris Lowe tamed his inner “musical snob” … rap, Brecht-Weill, Betjeman, Noel Coward, My Fair Lady and the art of “speak-singing” … the decades of lyrics stored in our brains … the Songwriting Bootcamp that produced What Have I Done To Deserve This? … the essence of melancholy (and the chord that expresses it) … “the sound of words is often more important than the sense” … whether Dylan deserved the Nobel Prize for Literature … West End Girls and whether to rap in English or American … the writing of King's Cross, Cricket Wife, Odd Man Out and I Made My Excuses And Left … “Robert Maxwell stole my pension!” … and the “geology of my life” in diaries that one day might make a memoir.

Graham and Chris return to 1986 for the second half of their 40th-anniversary Please deep dive, placing Pet Shop Boys' debut into the wider world it landed in - Cold War tension, Chernobyl panic, post-Live Aid earnestness, brick-sized mobile phones and a pop landscape buzzing with the likes of A‑ha, Five Star and Madonna. From there they go track‑by‑track, and enter Advision's world of talking calculators, existential mathematics, singing lessons, sax solos, misfiring sequencers, kebab-house retsina, studio parties, drunken TV appearances, tubular bells and truculent trombonists. Along the way they unearth lost demos, unlikely influences, rare remixes, and some of Neil's first and finest lyrical blueprints.  What emerges is a love letter to London, to escape, to youth and to hedonism. Forty years on, and Please still sounds like the beginning of something.

Unboxing the opening chapter of their 40th-anniversary super deluxe celebration of Please, Graham and Chris rewind to PSB Year Zero - the moment an “ex-Smash Hits journalist” met a “weird architect” and began politely reshaping pop. They trace the stories of five pivotal Please people who helped turn Neil and Chris into Pet Shop Boys: eight-track mentor Ray Roberts; Hi-NRG maverick Bobby O, maximalist manager Tom Watkins; rock-steady producer Stephen Hague; and legendary vocalist and Dylan collaborator Helena Springs.  Along they way, they tell the full, cinematic origin stories of West End Girls and Opportunities - from knee-slapping demos and New York studio bills to T.S. Eliot, sealed trains and chart-dodging false starts - and share their own first steps into PSB fandom. It's the beginning of a two-part deep dive into the album that started everything.  Plus: stay tuned right to the end of the credits for news of the first ever In Depth podcast competition!

Simon reflects on reinvention, longevity, and the pressure of evolving in a constantly changing dance music landscape. He opens up about the grind of the modern industry, blocking out the noise, and reconnecting with the reasons he started making music in the first place.Who is Shadow Child: Who is Shadow Child: Two decades into his career, Shadow Child announces his debut album A Break In The Clouds, a vivid chronicle of his musical journey. Emerging from the rave, breakbeat, hardcore, and jungle scenes of the '90s UK, Shadow Child first came to prominence as Dave Spoon with global residencies and hit remixes for artists like Pet Shop Boys and Dizzee Rascal. As Shadow Child, he's carved a niche in deep house and bass-driven dance music, blending euphoric vocals with rave-inspired beats. A Break In The Clouds celebrates Simon's full musical spectrum – from shuddering breakbeats and UK garage grooves to introspective, emotive moments – showcasing the confidence and freedom of an artist at the peak of his craft. Beyond the music, Simon mentors emerging artists and champions wellness in the industry, balancing high-energy performances with a thoughtful, grounded approach to his career.⏲ Follow Will Clarke ⏱https://djwillclarke.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/1OmOdgwIzub8DYPxQYbbbi?si=hEx8GCJAR3mhhhWd_iSuewhttps://www.instagram.com/djwillclarkehttps://www.facebook.com/willclarkedjhttps://twitter.com/djwillclarkehttps://www.tiktok.com/@djwillclarke Hosted on Acast.
