The Pet Shop Boys

When Madonna remixed "Sorry" for the Confessions Tour using The Pet Shop Boys in the songs intro, I thought, "how frickin' brilliant is this." These guys are awesome. Every now and then I hear "Domino Dancing" or "Being Boring" or, whatever, anything by them and my love affair with their music is rekindled. They are such a landmark duo, having experimented in rap—well, middle-class gay rap—techno, house, and underground. Neil Tennant's lyrics are smart, funny, and poetic.

You posted some of my favorite videos by PSB! Neil and Chris were my voice in the song "Left to my own devices'' a long time ago. I just love ironic and humorous twists in their songs lyrics.

Oh baby! PSB are one of my all-time favorite groups - great lyrics and absolutely addictive tunes. I never tire of them. "Everything I ever want, everything I ever do, every place I've ever been, everywhere I'm going to...it's a sin".

The Pet Shop Boys are great. I have a couple of mixed tracks of theirs and bang my head to them on the regular.

Your cats are fucking cute. They are.
