Everyday is Like Sunday, Except for Blue Monday and Ruby Tuesday, and...Well, Friday I'm in Love: Weekly Mix #55


I watched the Brit Awards a couple of weeks ago, and the only part that made it worth it was the finale with Pet Shop Boys; although, I could have done without the appearance of Lady Ga Ga and Brandon Flowers (the former looked like a blue willow china stripper with a broken arm, and the latter looked like an owl murderer). Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe still exude that aloof cool that elevates the potentially tacky and disposably popular into a higher art form (if you have any doubts, read Michael Bracewell). Their tenth studio album, Yes, will release later this month, so there will likely be a review post then. I also need to say that I would love to have a coat like Neil Tennant's.

In honour of the Pet Shop Boys stellar performance, this week's mix will be a synthpop one, the third one since this blog began. And it opens with the excellence of Suburbia. This one's called Run With the Dogs Tonight.
