Video: Pet Shop Boys, Axis

This is less about the song (though it is good) or the video (though it is also good) than it is to tell all of you that the Pet Shop Boys put out a new record, called Electric, in 2013, and are in the process of touring on it.

I caught the last show of the most recent leg here in New York. I didn’t take any pictures because we were on the second balcony at T5 and all I could really see was the parts of the lazer show and some bright lights amid the smoke machine fog.

I could hear them just fine, though, and they sounded great.

But better than just hearing them was being part of the dance parties that broke out during Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money) and It’s a Sin, and sing-shouting along to West End Girls with strangers while realizing it’s one of those songs written on all of our bones.

On the whole, it was a fabulous evening.
