Love this Pet Shop Boys story about George Michael at the 2012 Olympic closing ceremony, from Pete Paphides' fantastic Record Collector Mag interview.

Happy Record Store Day to all who celebrate

A good post day

The Blue Nile are so underrated. Esp. here in America. One of my all-time fav pop bands. Every yr, I spend an evening listening to their 4 studio LPs. If Walk Across the Rooftops and (especially) Hats are their masterpieces, Peace at Last + High are also top-notch. Talented band.

For the new Record Collector Mag, I spent an afternoon with Pet Shop Boys. Topics included: (i) the song they had rejected by Bananarama; (ii) the fact that they almost asked Jimmy Somerville to be their singer; and (iii) George Michael trolling them with their own music at the Olympics.

This Friday! See you in Lisbon

RIP Keith Leblanc. This track was a colossal influence on us, agitprop hip hop by drummer Keith with his phenomenal heavy beats, a hugely innovative record. His work with Tackhead and Adrian Sherwood fusing dub/New wave and wide heavy flavours was phenomenal. We will miss him.

Oh hello
