Update and minimal review post

Hello dear readers,

I haven't abandon my blogs, I've just been busy and having a writer's block. In spite of that, I have been reading with one Pet Shop Boys book and almost done with that, looking at videos and working on a few posts but would go through them here and there. I will; however, continue on where I left off even with the Soft Cell/ Marc Almond posts as well. And may I just say that the Philharmonic BBC Concert that the Boys, Johnny Marr, orchestra and choir did an outstanding job, I was really impressed by the song choices and everything, there were some songs I wish it wasn't on there but still it was really excellent. Who ever seen it live, was truly lucky to see all that art. Even though, Neil's voice was trembling a bit, sounds like he was nervous, but he still sounded good! I will possibly have a better review on it later on. All I can is that I truly hope they will release it like they did with Concrete. If you have not listened to it yet(which I'm sure you have), I would recommend it. As fas as the single choices, I'm not really too impressed by that but that's the choice. Out of the video, "Leaving" and "Invisible" are probably the best videos I've seen. "Winner", for me unfortunately, wasn't their best video, in fact, I would consider it to be one of their worst videos. Only because I've seen what they are capable of doing and seeing something like that, wouldn't impress a young artist like myself. The idea was good, but they needed more than what they had on there and they weren't even on the video. Even though, I'm not too fond of the art cover of "Memory of the Future", I do have hope that the music video would be better than I would think it would be. I do like the "Leaving" art covers, but I think this time, I will just get the CDs for "Memory of the Future" and not the vinyls. It's like a weird clash between David Bowie and Andy Warhol on a bad day. The B-sides so far sound very good, and I am enthuse by that which hopefully, the new B-sides will prove remarkable. I am excited about the new pet text with Neil Tennant discussing about Smash Hits again, it's like the other one he did last year, and if possible, it would also be neat if they release a demo compilation, I've heard a good amount of demos of theirs and wonder why they haven't released on yet! Anyway, expect more blog posts heading your way! 

Strangest thing happened today!

                                                                                                      After my Business English class was over, I decided to go to the record store, since my next class was in four hours. I was listening to some music and when it was time to get off the bus to my destination, the song “Pet Shop Boys” was playing and the next thing I know, the 12” of the original “West End Girls” vinyl was there; The same one that’s in a series that was produced by Bobby Orlando and the record label Epic.! A friend told me it was the pre frame releases as well and is really rare! I don’t know how it’s possible, I have been very fortunate with items lately it’s crazy, what startled me was the fact the song was playing on my iPod. I was talking about religion in a PSB group, I don’t know was it because of it or pure chance or the late Watson saw my tribute post about him. I don’t think that’s possible because of that but thank God that’s all I have to say!  It only has two songs the extended mix of the original “West End Girls” and “Pet Shop Boys”. It was only $10!!! I also found a single that’s two songs in one CD “Se A Vida é (That’s the Way Life is)" and “To Step Aside”. It’s the CD5 Maxi Single; it reminded me of my 2x12 remixes Vinyl with the two different color vinyls inside so I thought why not match it up!  Of course they had some nice Soft Cell items too one is the single of “The Night” which is a cover of a Frankie Valli song. Apparently it’s a 2-CD type edition but I only have the first one, it only have three songs “The Night”, “Perversity” and the Almighty mix of “The Night”. The single of “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye 91” which have the original “Numbers” and an extended track of “Torch” and finally Soft Cell vs. Club 69 with “Tainted Love”. I can around a pretty good deal on a day of school! I don’t know I might make a trip back there soon! Again I’m truly thankful about these items, I’m still in shock I’m actually owning another rarity!
