I will do
another on this one later since of Catalogue! When a friend of mine, Clare told
me about this remix of "DJ Culture", I was shocked because Dave Ball of Soft Cell
with his band The Grid, did a remix of this song!! Who would have guessed!! I
know it’s not really a collaboration, but the fact that something like this
happened it’s just really shocking and of course this version of "DJ Culture" is
incredibly rare, like pretty much practically a lot of the Soft Cell references
or relations I have been recently finding out, like today Clare told me that on
Wayne Studer’s site, about “Domino Dancing”, Neil reportedly said that it was a
version of Soft Cell’s “Numbers” because of the theme of casual sex. Ironically,
it’s one of my least favorite Soft Cell songs; well it was one of those songs I
liked but grown out of it. What’s even more shocking, you wouldn’t find that in
the Further Listenings booklets! And then by them knowing a Soft Cell song beyond 1982 shocked me because that's more of their rock phase, and I know they aren't so big on rock music, so i find it quite impressive! But anyway I find this so awesome, again
someone from Soft Cell that’s in another band did something for the Pet Shop
Boys! And to top it off, the video of "DJ Culture" and the photographer of the
series were done by the late Eric Watson! It also includes Music for Boys (Part 3) and the Overture to Performance!

Since I am an upcoming artist, I love to practice on my writing skills and futhermore, just have fun free writing on what I enjoy. I get inspired everyday.
