PSB rocks on

Like every other smartypants dancing queen in the 80's, I fell in love with the Pet Shop Boys, and I still kind of carry the torch. The new single, "Love etc." (above) shows their recent renewal in energy (with Fundamental) was no fluke (not to mention the video by Han Hoogerbrugge is fantastic). I mean what can you say about a pop song that includes the lyric, "You need more than a Gerhard Richter hanging up on the wall"? I also laughed out loud at "You don't have to be beautiful . . . but it helps." Tell it like it is, Neil.

Pet Shop Boys - Integrally

The fascinating video for the "Integral" remix is now up on www.petshopboys.co.uk. But is it really better than this fan-made video (largely drawn from Naqoyqatsi) on Youtube? (Yes, like every other smart gay Catholic, I'm a PSB addict.)
