It has been 25 years since the Pet Shop Boys made their first stab at making pop records. One thing that no amount of style changes have managed to do is to make the duo sound like anybody BUT themselves. While America seems to have ignored the boys for the past 15 years they've consistently made well-crafted, hook-filled records, loads of hit singles and written a ton of great music for ot...
by Will-W. I recently attended a dinner party and brought up the topic of the forthcoming Pet Shop Boys comeback. Some friends recalled fond memories of the Boys. Some were fully aware of their big return to the spotlight. Some heckled, "Are they still alive???". Regardless of opinion on the matter, "Yes" certifiably is a strong album. I will go as far to say that it is their Confessions
So I just got home from a massive grocery shop to find that "Love Etc" by Pet Shop Boys has seemingly leaked all over my inbox and because I'm rather curious (in more ways than just one), I loaded it up into le iTunes. I have to say, Popjustice has a valid reason for going gaga all over it. It truly is their best single in a long long time for me personally. I have been let down with ye ol...
I keep waiting for MoM to throw my music collection up on my page to save me the trouble of having to explain my diverse and sometimes contradictory musical tastes. Here I am, an acoustic musician with a singer-songwriter complex and a near-obsession with Celtic music, and yet a lot of my big favorite bands fit neatly into categories like techno-pop, New Wave, etc., etc. I recently abandoned th...

It has kept me out of harm's way... until this e...

While I support "gay marriage" in principal, the thing is... the STATE does not OWN our relationships. So as nice as it sounds for a state to have legalized "gay marriage", it's a moot point. In 1999 GLBT folks simply asked for domestic partner BENEFITS, not specifically MARRIAGE. At the time even the more extreme elements of the Gay movement were only promoting that the state REMOVE the...
