Neil Tennant
Happy birthday to Neil Tennant, lead singer of my beloved Pet Shop Boys. My life is a better place because of the music he’s created. In the Pet Shop Boys’ 25 plus year career, they’ve fused rock, disco and classical music seamlessly. On today’s play list, I’ll listen to “Left To My Own Devices,” “It’s Alright,” “It Must Be Obvious,” and one of my favorite songs of all time “Being Boring.” Happy birthday Neil! Thanks for all the great music, past, present and future!

Signed CDs by Pet Shop Boys and Duran Duran
I’m very happy to report the latest additions to the G Archives are signed CDs by Pet Shop Boys and Duran Duran, two of my favorite bands!
Both Pet Shop Boys and Duran Duran offered signed cds to the first couple hundred fans who purchased their new albums, “The Most Incredible Thing” and “All You Need Is Now” (respectively) through their official sites several weeks ago.
The best part about this is now I have one less thing to try and get signed the next time I meet both bands. I’ll be able to focus on getting rare import singles completed.
Special thanks to BB3 for paying attention and of course thanks to Pet Shop Boys and Duran Duran for knowing how to treat their faithful right!
