Pet Shop Boys Catalouge / Happy Birthday Neil
As reported on their official website, The Pet Shop Boys have been approached by the British art book publishers, Thames & Hudson, to produce an illustrated book compiling their entire visual and design output over the last 20 years.
The book, to be entitled ‘Pet Shop Boys Catalogue’, is being edited by Philip Hoare and Chris Heath and is expected to be published in autumn 2006.
Also the website has a link to send Birthday Wishes to Neil Tennant. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish Neil all the very best on his birthday and cant wait for the new album to be released in 2006.
PSB COLLABARATION!
In this month’s Attitude Bananarama are interviewed and they reveal that the Pet Shop Boys have written a song for them!

1 – Its a sin
2 – Suburbia
3 – Opportunities
4 – Domino dancing
5 – New York City boy
6 – Always on my mind
7 – Where the streets have no name (I cant take my eyes of you)
8 – West End girls
9 – Left to my own devices
10 – Go West

Joining Chris and Neil onstage were Sylvia Mason-James (vocals), Mark Refoy (guitars) and Dawne Adams (percussion). Live sound was mixed by Pete Gleadall. After the final song, everyone left the stage assuming the show was over but most of the audience refused to leave so Pet Shop Boys returned and performed Its a sin for a second time!
The Moscow concert was the last of the Live 8 concerts to be announced and Neil and Chris would like to thank everyone involved for organising such a successful event in only five days. Moscow police estimated last night that between 60-80,000 people attended the Pet Shop Boys performance.
