If you missed “Pet Shop Boys: Wired” on BBC Radio 2 this afternoon or want to hear it again, it’s on the BBC website. Link below.

Listen to “Pet Shop Boys: Wired” this afternoon (May 25^th) on BBC Radio 2 from 4 to 6 pm. Neil and Chris play their favourite electro-pop music of this decade.

“A national network of cameras and computers automatically logging car number plates will be in place within months…” The surveillance state expands relentlessly. Go to the link for the full story.

Neil has written the Diary in the latest issue of the current affairs magazine, The Spectator.

Just got home from this.

Just finished rehearsals for The Dome in Munich. It’s on RTL II on May 30.

Several people have sent us links to this1986 clip of “I want a lover” which has materialised on YouTube.

We like this.

We’re rehearsing for the tour.

Go to the link for an excellent mash-up of our “Pandemonium” and “On The Road Again” by Canned Heat (which I’m old enough to remember). Our tour is officially the Pandemonium tour, by the way. And, while we’re on YouTube, what a nice clip someone has edited from “The History Boys” film for “Hey, Headmaster”!

I’m not really a fan of the Manic Street Preachers but the banning by supermarkets of the sleeve of their new album featuring this painting by Jenny Saville is stupid. Full story at the link below.

“After the event”, one of the bonus tracks for our next single, is Song Of The Day on Pop Justice today. There’s also an interesting “Daily Pop Briefing” about the various “Did you see me coming?” single formats.

Isn’t France wonderful?

There’s an extensive feature about Pet Shop Boys in the latest issue of the Italian magazine, “Andergr@und”. Click on the link to see it.

In the studio with Stuart Price working on music for the tour.

Nice hat, Chris! Go to the link to read Andrew Sullivan’s interview with Pet Shop Boys in the latest issue of “Out” magazine (USA).

Another afternoon, another afternoon tea.

We’ve been digging out old master tapes to sample sounds for songs to be performed in the tour. 

Having tea with Tom “Superchumbo” Stephan. He’s doing a mix of “Up and down”.
