Pet Shop Boys Go Minimal…

What?


Just kidding, but they have a song called "Minimal" on their upcoming album, Fundamental, which is scheduled for release on may 22nd.

Their next single, titled "I'm With Stupid", comes out on May 8.

It supposedly offers virulent criticism over Mr. Blair's involvement with Mr. Bush, going so far as to asks the question "Why would I be with someone who's obviously so dumb?" How risqué, and oh so very romantic: "Is stupid really stupid or are you really smart? That's how you stole my heart."

What were you expecting? We're talking about the Pet Shop Boys here, NOT The Dead Kennedys!

Although the Boys' publicists might've revamped their strategy for 2006, Neil & Chris' music sure hasn't changed and bit, and let's be frank: that why we love them Pet Shop Boys.


Anyway, here's the track list of their new album:

Psychological, The Sodom And Gomorrah Show, I Made My Excuses And Left, Minimal, Numb, God Willing, Luna Park, I'm With Stupid, Casanova In Hell, Twentieth Century, Indefinite Leave To Remain, Integral

Not really interesting, right? What am I doing posting a track list, you wonder? Well, the "why" cleverly uses the moniker "Disc 2":

Fugitive (Richard X Extended Mix), Sodom (Trentemoller Mix), Psychological (Alter Ego Remix), Flamboyant (Michael Mayer Mix), Minimal (Tiga Remix), I'm With Stupid (Melnyk Heavy Petting Mix), Gomorrah (Dettinger Remix), In Private (Stuart Crichton Club Mix)

It's so silly I've gone and got meself all excited.

At first, I was even wondering why you were posting about PSB. If the track listing of this second CD is for real, I am already fuckin' wet.

And oh, speaking of controversy, remember the big scandal about RELEASE's track about Eminem, "The Night I Fell in Love" ? It wasn't very ferocious either.

These guys are so un-threatening it's heartwarming !

From Richard X's website:

A brand new Pet Shop Boys track now in the bag for some future release. Speculate away. Update: No more emails please, it's a new track , not a remix, i'm sure the boys will announce all soon...Update 2: It's called Fugitive and will be released on the second disc of the new Pet Shop Boys album "Fundamental".

Looks like this is for real!

A special edition of the new Pet Shop Boys' album, "Fundamental", will include a bonus dance album, "Fundamentalism", containing six remixes and two new tracks. The full track-listing is as follows:

5. I'm with Stupid (Melnyk mix)

Follow up: No Tiga remix on the double CD after all... the 8 song track list is the real deal. The extra disc is definitely worth it!
