Så er det endnu engang blevet tid til at dykke ned i et klassisk 90'er album, og denne gang skal vi 33 år tilbage i tiden. Det var nemlig den 27. september 1993, at den britiske duo Pet Shop Boys udgav deres femte, og måske til dato mest poppede studiealbum Very. Et sandt popmesterværk, hvor Neil Tennant og Chris Lowe formår at producere den perfekte blanding af synthpop, house og techno, med tekster der stråler af både humor, samfundskritik, optimisme og melankoli. Vi kommer til at dykke ned i selve tilblivelsen af albummet, vi kigger på det fuldstændig ikoniske, minimalistiske og Lego-agtige cover i knaldorange, deres computerspilsinspirerede og bizarre musikvideoer og selvfølgelig de geniale tekster til hits som Can you forgive her, I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing, Liberation og selvfølgelig også deres gigantiske coverversion af Village Peoples Go West. Derudover bliver det til utrolig mange besøg i Bilka, vi tager til åbningen af MTV i Rusland, vi mindes dengang man lavede lektier ved skrivebordet, og så kan I desuden møde en romersk filosof, en designer fra den engelske nationale opera, et popalbum gemt under klassisk musik, en lokalradio på øen Omø, en flok syngende walisiske minearbejdere, samt Derek Jarman, Magic Johnson, Prokofiev og Boris Jeltsin. Pet Shop Boys - Violence (Haçienda Version) Cicero - Love is everywhere Electronic - Disappointed (7-inch mix) Boy George - The crying game Pet Shop Boys - It's up to you Pet Shop Boys - Can you forgive her Pet Shop Boys - Go West Pet Shop Boys - I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing Pet Shop Boys - To speak is a sin Pet Shop Boys - The theatre Pet Shop Boys - Liberation Pet Shop Boys - Postscript Pet Shop Boys - One thing leads to another Pet Shop Boys - Too many people Pet Shop Boys - Young offender (Jam & Spoon Trip-o-Matic Fairy Tale Mix) Blur - Girls & boys (PSB Edit) Absolutely Fabulous - Absolutely Fabulous Pet Shop Boys - One in a million/Mr. Vain (Live in Rio 1994)
Graham and Chris begin their deep dive into A Man From The Future - Pet Shop Boys' ambitious musical portrait of Alan Turing. They trace the origins of the project from Andrew Hodges' biography to the Proms premiere, exploring how Neil and Chris built a hybrid of orchestral writing, electronic textures and spoken‑word narrative. Along the way they revisit Turing's childhood, schooldays, wartime brilliance and tragic end, and how Pet Shop Boys turned those chapters into music. They unpack the creative partnership with Hodges, examine his earlier writings about PSB, and look at the influence of Battleship Potemkin and The Most Incredible Thing. The episode becomes a journey through mathematics, memory, machines and morality - and a celebration of how Pet Shop Boys transformed one man's life into a modern electronic oratorio.

Fernando Martín ha vuelto a hacer de las suyas con una nueva entrega de la encuesta absurda en ‘¡Buenos días, Javi y Mar!'. Esta vez ha llamado a Paqui, una oyente que ha cogido el teléfono sin imaginarse el interrogatorio que le esperaba porque Fernando ha empezado a lanzarle preguntas cada vez más disparatadas. Por ejemplo, si alguien que toma creatina acaba siendo un «creatino», si el dios de los topos podría llamarse «topodero» o si ir disfrazado de pecho a un concierto de Pet Shop Boys sería un homenaje apropiado. Y Paqui, lejos de colgar, ha entrado de lleno en el juego. También ha tenido que decidir si a un notario que intenta esconder su profesión «se le notaría», si un recopilatorio de canciones de artistas fallecidos sería un «popu-RIP» o si Panoramix preparaba la poción mágica de Astérix y Obélix con un robot de cocina. Preguntas sin ningún sentido, respuestas improvisadas y una oyente que ha seguido la broma con muy buen humor hasta el final.
Welcome to the next volume of Velvety Grooves, the electronic playground of The Funk Assassin. This is where the rules loosen, the grooves deepen and my future sound begins to take shape. This session moves through the nocturnal synth-pop of Pet Shop Boys' West End Girls, the deep emotional pull of Deep Dish and Tracey Thorn's The Future of the Future, and serious dance-floor heat from Gerd Janson, Talamanca System, Jimi Jules, Pablo Bozzi, Purple Disco Machine, Friendly Fires, Blaze and Dusky. At the heart of the mix are five new and unreleased The Funk Assassin productions: Static Running Through My Veins Shape of You Cold Machines, Burning Skin Static in My Blood Velvet Light These sessions reconnect with the deeper, more adventurous DJ style I had before The Funk Assassin was born in 2018. The past brought the soul. Now comes the electricity. Welcome to the next chapter. TRACKLIST 1. Pet Shop Boys – West End Girls 2.

Margaux Lassalle nous ramène en 1987 pour redécouvrir le deuxième album des Pet Shop Boys : "Actually". Après un premier projet salué par le public et la critique, le duo britannique formé par Neil Tennant et Chris Lowe transforme brillamment l'essai. Ce disque de la confirmation se hissera d'ailleurs à la deuxième place des charts au Royaume-Uni, seulement devancé par l'indétrônable Michael Jackson.L'album marque l'affirmation de leur signature musicale : une synth-pop accrocheuse portée par des mélodies imparables et des textes souvent engagés. La chronique retrace la richesse de ce classique, naviguant entre l'ouverture hypnotique et nocturne de "One More Chance", la collaboration emblématique avec Dusty Springfield sur "What Have I Done to Deserve This ?" et les sonorités plus funky de "Heart", véritable ode au coup de foudre.Sous ses airs accessibles, ce disque incontournable aborde des thématiques profondes. Le segment explore ainsi le point de vue d'une femme entretenue dans "Rent", ou encore la critique sociale du chômage et du mal-être de la jeunesse sous l'ère Thatcher à travers le sombre morceau de clôture "King's Cross". L'occasion de se remémorer que ce grand album des années 80 a notamment été propulsé par l'intemporel "It's a Sin", une puissante critique de l'éducation catholique stricte reçue par Neil Tennant, dont le succès résonne toujours aujourd'hui.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

I dette afsnit som egentlig er lavet tilbage i august sidste år specielt til vores fantastiske støtter på 10'er, skal vi have fat i et væddemål som vi lavede med vores lytter Michael (som vi fornyeligt var i Hamborg med), og som vi fik afgjort i sidste års Sommer Special. Vi delte i porten, og det betyder, at vi har lavet et afsnit på opfordring fra Michael, en såkaldt 15 Degrees Of Guldimund Special. Hvad vil det så sige? Jo, vi har endnu engang fat i vores gamle studieleg, hvor vi skal linke to kunstnere (tyske AnnenMayKantereit og danske Guldimund) gennem 15 sange. Alle sangene skal have noget tilfælles med den foregående, og det betyder en masse musikalske krumspring, som leder os til fantastiske numre fra bl.a. Susanne Vega, Spice Girls, Whitney Houston, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Bros, Seal, The Police og Peter Garbriel. Derudover kan I møde en pedal steel guitar, en sangtekst af Salman Rushdie, masser af australske CD-singler, et remix af Shep Pettibone, smukke strygerarrangementer af Craig Armstrong og så bliver det desuden til meget forskellige snakke om alt fra Copland til Copeland og Lykkehjulet til Casinoer. Andy jubler igen over Nice Little Penguins, og så tager vi et decideret sværdslag om hvilken film er bedst; Sleepless In Seattle eller You Got Mail. Playlist: AnnenMayKantereit & Giant Rooks - Tom's Diner Susanne Vega - Luka Shawn Colvin - Sunny came home The Police - Every little thing she does is magic Peter Gabriel - Big time U2 with Daniel Lanois - The ground beneath her feet Spice Girls - 2 become 1 Savage Garden - Affirmation (Stop Beats Mix) Whitney Houston - So emotional Bros - I owe you nothing (The Shep Pettibone Remix) Pet Shop Boys - Left to my own devices (7-inch) Seal - Krazy Depeche Mode - Home Moi Caprice - My girl you blush Guldimund feat.

We're up to the penultimate episode of our Disco series, and Disco 4... Or Disco Four: Remixed by Pet Shop Boys to give it its full title.So far each Disco album has had its own identity, and this one is no exception. As the title suggests, this collection - released in 2007 - features PSB remixes, with the band putting their own spin on tracks by Madonna, The Killers, David Bowie, Yoko Ono and themselves. In fact, the remixes of their own tracks are the only ones that weren't widely available when the album was released. Nevertheless, it's a strong collection of dance pop remixes from pioneers of the genre.Let us know your thoughts on the album and the episode @trackbytrackuk on Instagram, or hellotrackbytrack@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

We've reached 2003's Disco 3 as part of our Pet Shop Boys' Disco mini-series, and this one couldn't be further from its predecessor. With more of a focus on new material, as well as some remixes, rumour has it this one wasn't even originally going to be called Disco 3...Critics loved it (some more than the previous year's Release), but what do you think to this one?

Episode 205: Pet Shop Boys – Please (1986) – Part 3 Brian and Sarah are back at their microphones to continue their discussion of Please, the debut album by the Pet Shop Boys. In Part 2, our hosts discussed the first two songs on the album. The next song up for discussion is "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)," which, like the track before it, had two different versions released. However, unlike "West End Girls," neither version of "Opportunities" was produced by Bobby O. "Opportunities" also had two videos released, and interestingly, each host was more familiar with a different video. Brian and Sarah talk about all three versions of the song (to include the version recorded with Bobby O), both videos, and the single's interesting chart history, which includes a run as recent as 2021. During this discussion, several movies are mentioned too: Midnight Cowboy, Wise Blood, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. After a thorough examination of "Opportunities," our hosts move on to track four, which is yet another single. "Love Comes Quickly" differs from the preceding songs, however, in that only one version was released. Sarah shares a Smash Hits review of the song written by someone in another PRP-approved band, which Brian is quite happy to hear. A discussion of "Love Comes Quickly" would be incomplete without mentioning the iconic single sleeve, featuring Chris Lowe in a "BOY" hat. And of course, the video for this song is covered as well, including the declaration from one of its directors that the video was "a complete disaster." Putting aside the video, both hosts agree that "Love Comes Quickly" is a beautiful song, and they talk about the fact that Neil and Chris think so too, even to this day. But as much as Brian loves the PSB version of the song, he reveals there's one person he wished would have recorded a cover. Who is this mystery artist? You'll have to listen to find out!

It's time to head back to the synth-soaked sounds of the 1980s as Dangerous Dave celebrates one of Britain's greatest and most enduring pop duos...PET SHOP BOYS!This week on The Insanely Dangerous Retropodshow, Dave takes a huge deep dive into the career of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, exploring how a chance meeting in a London electronics shop eventually led to one of the most successful partnerships in British pop history.From "West End Girls" to "It's a Sin," "Always on My Mind," "Heart," "Being Boring" and "Go West," we're celebrating the songs, albums and unmistakable electronic sound that made Pet Shop Boys legends.WHAT HAPPENED WAY BACK WHEN? – 1986First, we're travelling back to 1986, the year Pet Shop Boys released their debut album Please.Dave revisits five songs, five movies and five television shows from an incredible year of entertainment, including Top Gun, Aliens, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Real Ghostbusters and some of the biggest records of the year.Then Retro Headlines turns back the clock to remember some of the major stories making news in Britain and America.DANGEROUS DEEP DIVE – THE HISTORY OF PET SHOP BOYSHow did Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe become Pet Shop Boys?Dave goes right back to the beginning, exploring Neil's career in publishing and at Smash Hits, Chris's background and their chance meeting in London in 1981.We follow their early demos, their work with Bobby Orlando and the original version of "West End Girls", before the re-recorded song transformed them into international stars.Dave also looks at the brilliantly understated Pet Shop Boys image: Neil delivering intelligent and observational lyrics while Chris stands almost motionless behind the keyboards.No rock-star posing required.THE ALBUMSThen it's time to raid the Pet Shop Boys record collection.Dave discusses and rates the albums that defined their first two decades, including:Please – ⭐⭐⭐⭐½The debut that established the classic Pet Shop Boys sound.Actually – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Dave's number-one Pet Shop Boys album, featuring an incredible collection of songs including "It's a Sin," "Rent" and "What Have I Done to Deserve This?"Introspective – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Six enormous tracks blending electronic pop with extended club arrangements.Behaviour – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A more reflective and emotional record featuring the magnificent "Being Boring."Very – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Colourful, confident and packed with some of the duo's greatest 90s material.Plus, Dave revisits Bilingual and Nightlife as Pet Shop Boys continued evolving through the later 1990s.THE GREATEST HITS – RATED!Then comes the big one.Dave works through some of the greatest songs in the Pet Shop Boys catalogue and gives them the Danger Rating treatment.We revisit:West End Girls ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Opportunities ⭐⭐⭐⭐½Love Comes Quickly ⭐⭐⭐⭐½Suburbia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐It's a Sin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐What Have I Done to Deserve This? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Rent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Always on My Mind ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Heart ⭐⭐⭐⭐½Domino Dancing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Left to My Own Devices ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐So Hard ⭐⭐⭐⭐½Being Boring ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Can You Forgive Her? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Go West ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐And plenty more.But only one can be Dangerous Dave's favourite...And "Being Boring" takes the number-one position, narrowly beating "West End Girls" and "It's a Sin."DANGEROUS DETOUR – THE SYNTH-POP REVOLUTIONDave takes a detour into the electronic revolution that transformed the 1980s.From synthesizers and drum machines to sequencers and changing recording technology, we explore how electronic music went from experimental to mainstream and produced artists including The Human League, Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Eurythmics, Erasure and Pet Shop Boys.BACK IN THE ADSWe also rewind British television for another edition of Back in the Ads, remembering the telephone advertising campaigns that sold us something surprisingly simple...The joy of actually talking to somebody!A reminder of a world before WhatsApp, social media and endless notifications.RETRO RUMBLE – PET SHOP BOYS VS ERASURETwo synth-pop giants enter the ring.Only one leaves victorious.Pet Shop Boys vs Erasure!Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe take on Andy Bell and Vince Clarke across greatest hits, vocals, lyrics, albums and dancefloor anthems.Erasure put up one hell of a fight...But Pet Shop Boys eventually take the Retro Rumble crown 3–2.DANGEROUSLY UNDERRATEDDave also shines a spotlight on "King's Cross", the brilliant Actually album track that proves some of the finest Pet Shop Boys songs never needed to become massive singles.GAZ'S RETRO RECORDS – SYNTH-POP SPECIALThen Gaz opens his record collection for a special edition of Gaz's Retro Records.This week he's celebrating four acts that helped make electronic music such an important part of the 1980s.OMDGaz celebrates the brilliant Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, from the atmospheric "Enola Gay" and "Souvenir" to "Maid of Orleans" and their later pop success.For Gaz, OMD proved that electronic music could be experimental, emotional and incredibly catchy at the same time.SOFT CELLNext comes Soft Cell.Marc Almond and Dave Ball created a much darker version of synth-pop, mixing electronic music with the atmosphere of nightclubs and the seedier side of city life.And, of course, there's the enormous "Tainted Love" – one of the defining electronic records of the entire decade.NEW ORDERGaz then turns to New Order, the band that emerged from the end of Joy Division and helped blur the lines between alternative rock and electronic dance music.From "Blue Monday" and "Bizarre Love Triangle" to "True Faith," their influence can still be heard across electronic and dance music today.ERASUREFinally, Gaz celebrates Erasure.Vince Clarke's electronic brilliance combined with Andy Bell's incredible voice produced classics including "Sometimes," "A Little Respect," "Stop!," "Blue Savannah" and "Love to Hate You."They might have lost today's Retro Rumble...But Gaz argues that no discussion about great British synth-pop would be complete without them.Four artists.Four very different approaches to electronic pop.And four essential additions to your retro record collection.THE DANGER ZONEFinally, Dave asks the biggest question of the episode...Are Pet Shop Boys the greatest British pop duo of all time?When you consider the songs...The albums...The lyrics...The production...The innovation...And more than four decades of longevity...Dave's answer is...YES!Pet Shop Boys receive a massive 58 out of 60 Danger Rating.HALL OF DANGERAnd there could only be one way to finish.Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe officially enter the...

We talk about the impossible position the music industry puts beautiful women in (you need the looks to get in the door, then you get dismissed for them), the incredible 2charm show at the Enmore Theatre — think Pet Shop Boys if they took peptides — and what Stassi Schroeder's comeback show gets right that Drea de Matteo and Ariel Pink completely missed about their own cancellations.Plus: Ione accidentally texts her friend that her holiday “looks expensive,” and Ben gives a talk at APRA AMCOS about originality and why the “stay in your lane” era is finally over.Dive deeper into our world at https://weirdertogether.substack.com

Graham and Chris return to 1996 for the first half of their Bilingual exploration - a summer of Britpop swagger, Spice Girls hysteria, Euro '96 euphoria, and their own very different lives in northern Britain. They stand again at Pet Shop Boys' post‑Very crossroads: older, out of step with the charts, paranoid about the rise of Pulp and Blur, yet still pushing forward as Before takes shape in New York - with a little help from Danny Tenaglia and OJ Simpson. Then the album's Latin heart bursts open: the multicultural heat and nudity of the Sound Factory Bar, SheBoom's Glaswegian beer-swigging drummers, the exotic excitement of the Discovery tour, Olodum's samba‑reggae beats and the birth of Se A Vida É. It's a celebration of rhythm, reinvention and the album that saw Pet Shop Boys open the door to a whole new world. Come outside and feel the morning sun!

Pod Cast Boys celebrate their 40th episode by diving into 40 summers of Pet Shop Boys' fandom - from bedroom mixtapes and sunlounger listening, to festivals, raves, summer jobs and water‑parks. They revisit the summers that shaped them: 1986 camping trips spent listening to Opportunities, Algarve holidays soundtracked by It's Alright, plastics‑factory glue fumes mixed with Can You Forgive Her?, Manchester Paninaro promo‑hunting, and the thrill of hearing PSB's 90s Radio 1 residencies with Sasha, Frankie Knuckles and 808 State. Plus they bring us bang up to date with Dreamworld tales from Lytham and Paris. There's a forensic look at Pet Shop Boys' own summer adventures too: the Miami heat of Domino Dancing, the 1989 tour and its legendary Bingobangobongo party, Chris's love of rave culture and sunglasses, and the pure sunshine of Se A Vida É - with Bruce Weber's Wet ‘n Wild Florida video, Rupert Brooke's poetry and Mark Farrow's brightest sleeve. From Somewhere at the Savoy to Nightlife at Creamfields, from total eclipses to total reinventions, get ready for a nostalgic, funny, affectionate journey through the summers that made Pet Shop Boys - and the summers that made Graham and Chris.

Graham and Chris open the doors to Pet Shop Boys Legacy - their fantasy museum celebrating over 40 summers of PSB history. From the pulsating Electric‑style entrance tunnel to the Newcastle and Blackpool origin story settings, they build an immersive world of childhood bookshelves, mind-expanding youth theatres, Pleasure Beach big wheels, tropical disco dancefloors and early synthesisers. The tour moves through London bedsits, the Chelsea Record Centre, Ray Roberts' Camden studio and the Applejack Diner where Neil first met Bobby O. Then it expands into a full-blown Mark Farrow-designed PSB universe: iconic outfits, sleeves, videos, stage designs, deep‑cut artefacts and fan memories - all reimagined as a playful, over‑the‑top exhibition only the Pod Cast Boys could dream up. At its core, the museum becomes a new way of understanding the Pet Shop Boys story - a map of where they came from; a celebration of the breadth of their creativity; and a reminder that their history is very much still being written. Step inside for a summer celebration of imagination, fandom and four decades of Pet Shop Boys! Want to show your love for the Pet Shop Boys In Depth podcast?

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.

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

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?
