Pet Shop Boys wish their fans a Merry Christmas, announce title of new album in one fell swoop.

December 23rd, 2008

The image is taken from their holiday card to the fan club and the new album’s title is Yes.

Is there a more pop word than “Yes?”


Our friends at PopJustice* Have Heard The New Pet Shop Boys Single.

December 12th, 2008

They are going to answer questions from the floor about it.

*No, they are not actually friends with me, but I’m quite sure they are all lovely people.

Edit: Questions have been answered. A sample:

Q: Has it got Disco Potential?
A: Yes.
Read the whole thing; I absolutely adore Pop Justice’s coverage of Pet Shop Boys.


A stupidly overcomplicated set of instructions that will allow you to hear the unreleased Pet Shop Boys’ remix of “Kids” by MGMT.

December 10th, 2008

Go to the Pet Shop Boys site www.petshopboys.co.uk and click on Navigation, then Product, then Exclusive tracks and then remember to click on the little purple icon next to “Kids (PSB Synthpop mix).”

I appreciate the aesthetic Pet Shop Boys are attempting to get to with this site, but the difficulty readers have in sharing items of interest is embarrassing by proxy to someone who makes their living in internet marketing.


Girls Aloud, “The Loving Kind,” written by Pet Shop Boys and Xenomania.

More on the Killers Christmas single; album news.

November 22nd, 2008

From the official site:

Neil Tennant has written and sung a few lines in the forthcoming Christmas single, “Joseph (Better You Than Me)”, by The Killers featuring Elton John and Neil Tennant. The song began as a Killers/Elton John collaboration and then Brandon Flowers asked Neil to help out with some lyrics. We are informed that the digital-only release will be in December with proceeds going to charity.

…and this:
Recording and mixing of all tracks for the new Pet Shop Boys album are approaching completion. Neil, Chris and Brian Higgins will be approving final mixes in the next two weeks. Parlophone have suggested a provisional release date of March 23rd, 2009 (this may and probably will change!).
