Press conferences, lawyers, lawsuits, chat shows? Well, maybe you wouldn’t, if you thought that the story would scarcely be touched by the MSM. That’s been largely the case …

Is Your Betty Ready?

PSB Continue Blitz of New Releases

The last few months have been a true bonanza for the hardcore fanboys, as the Pet Shop Boys have delivered four full CDs and a handful of b-side chocked singles. First, in June they dropped the Fundamental double-set, which returned the Boys to standard glorious form, after 2003’s interesting, but ultimately unsatisfying experiment, Release. And yesterday I got my grubby …

Superdaddy And His Furryboy Harem

This photo from yesterday is pretty representative of our Sunday evenings. Superdaddy stands near the jukebox and rest of us are mere hairy manplanets in his powerful orbit.
