Pet Shop Boys - Hotspot

I'm enjoying this new album that no one is really talking about here.

― Josh in Chicago

Yeah, I'm enjoying it too. Just remembering to turn it off before the last song each time really makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable. There's such a warmth to this album that was missing on a lot of Super.

The best song on Super was "Burn," though.

Oh shit, the last song was the marriage song, right? I just assumed that was a bonus track I got fed.

I suppose I should finally listen to this album

Okay in context the songs I hated are pretty good. This is pleasant.

I like the last song, you guys are no fun

I like the album, but the second song almost made me stop listening at first. Really breaks the momentum set up by the excellent "Will O The Wisp". Weird sequencing choice.

Enjoying this low-key B-side:

^^ and it's a good counterpart to "Monkey Business": not corny reminiscent of "Positive Role Model" as a dance track that hits the life-and-death bender side of club life.

The first time I heard "Will O The Wisp," without knowing the title yet, I thought he was saying "minimal waste."

Finally getting to this. "Wedding in Berlin" is awesome, what the hell.
