continues prices seems supply wall
The writing seems to be on the wall at this point. Prices are still falling. Meanwhile, the supply continues to rise.
letting-go writing scary
We never let go. Ever. Even with punctuation. It's frightening. I can't see anyone from any record company ever writing an email to Neil and not getting it back, with corrections.
strong eye thinking
I always have a very strong sense of shaming oneself, and you can do that a lot in the public eye, so it's best avoided at all costs I think.
radio internet feels
I feel like the Internet has really freed everything up to an extent, hasn't it? That radio maybe doesn't have quite the power that it had before.
thinking artist sight
I think sometimes an artist can really lose sight of what made them popular in the first place.
thinking mad gone
I don't think you ever know in yourself whether you have gone mad. You exist in a bubble. There comes a point where you suddenly feel not really a part of the world, you're just passing through.
play people waiting
I used to play works in progress to people, but now I wait 'til it's finished, because you make excuses all the time: 'Well, there's gonna be an orchestra on it.' Rather than make excuses, wait 'til it's finished, and then they can say they don't like it.
girl clubs west
When West End Girls came out on import, I was a student at Liverpool University. I'd go to a club in Liverpool and it would come on, and I'd be really embarrassed.
girl boys prodigies
Well, I love what you would call boys' music, you know, the prodigy, banging techno, music that girls generally don't like.
song writing boys
You can get too bogged down in technology and you can sort of forget what it is you were trying to do. And with the Pet Shop Boys it's primarily about the songs, it's about song writing.
hate seems
Using music to promote hate seems to be the bastardisation of music to me.
ends entertainment-business position
Chart positions aren't the be all and end all.
soap opera soap-operas
Even the Beatles lived their lives as a soap opera.
Electroclash is good because it's stayed underground.
