Being Boring

Not feeling the best at the moment (hence no post yesterday), but have to celebrate the release of the Pet Shop Boys new album "Fundamental". Had a quick listen through and "The Sodom and Gomorrah Show" is classic PSB/Trevor Horn and the whole album is an order of magnitude up on "Release", which I'm sad to say was disappointing. This is back to basics, throw the guitars out and embrace the inner camp....but with a political bite. "Integral" is quite marvellous and I can see people marching with banners whilst singing the chorus.

Recently Neil and Chris appeared on "The South Bank Show" tribute to Dusty Springfield. Chris was rather silent. Neil was waxing eloquently on a variety of things. I paraphrase the following.
Neil "Dusty, well everyone knows who she is, she's a one word name like Madonna, Kylie, Liza (knowing look to camera), Bowie..."
Chris (interrupting) "Preston"

And with this reference to the Ordinary Boys singer he almost managed to leave Neil speechless.
