“It's fundamental that what we do only exists in our own universe. When you like Pet Shop Boys, you are in our world.”

—Neil Tennant

Returning guest Dave Weigel lived in England in the late ‘90s, the era of Tony Blair, New Labour, ecstasy, the European Union, and, most importantly of all, the Pet Shop Boys. Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe met in a hi-fi shop in the early ‘80s and went on to make beautiful, quintessentially British dance music together for the next four decades (and counting!). For this episode, Rich leads Dave, Phil, and Will track by track through the duo’s 1996 album Bilingual, where Tennant and Lowe were inspired by a recent tour of Latin America, as well as a rapidly globalizing post-Cold War world. It’s not one of the group’s more celebrated albums, but it’s so, so dense with all of the tight, grandiose, literate popcraft that they do so well.

Miscellany

Dave previously joined us for our episodes on Todd Rundgren’s A Wizard, a True Star and our double feature on Yes’s The Yes Album and Drama, but we figured this time we’d have him on for an album that sticks more reliably to 4/4.
We barely scratched the surface of the band’s massive catalog in our recommendations section, so here are a few more: 1991’s Behaviour and 1993’s Very Can i download adobe pro dc on my mac. are a sort of yin-yang of the Pet Shop Boys at their most morose and most upbeat, respectively, though there’s a decent amount of overlap. 2009’s Yes, recorded with English dance production team Xenomania, is pretty easily the best of the “wilderness years” albums we referred to broadly. And though they’re not nearly as great as Electric, 2016’s Super and their new album Hotspot follow broadly in the same vein.
We mention Neil Tennant’s “imperial period” term being a favorite of podcaster Chris Molanphy. Molanphy hosts Slate’s chart history podcast Hit Parade, which is a huge influence on this show.
Olodum is far more than just a band, and can more accurately be described as a a cultural activism group, founded by percussionist Neguinho do Samba to fight racial discrimination and socioeconomic inequality. The group is credited with creating samba reggae music, and draws ~4,000 people to parade in its 200-musician bloco at Salvador Carnival every year.
Chris disagrees with Neil’s assertion that life is much simpler when you’re young.
This episode is the first of our main, album-centered episodes to be produced by Rich, though he will generally remain the talky Neil Tennant to Producer Mike’s Chris Lowe.
