The Christmas card sent to all members of the Pet Shop Boys Club this year takes the form of a DVD featuring a short film of highlights of the September 12 Trafalgar Square performance of “The Battleship Potemkin”. The film is edited to the opening theme of the score, “Comrades!” North American members have been sent an NTSC version to suit their region DVD players.
Pet Shop Boys would like to apologise to Club members for the non-appearance of the “Literally” magazine this year. This was due to the overwhelming commitments of Chris Heath (who writes the magazine) who this year wrote and had published the best-selling biography of Robbie Williams, “Feel”. In 2005 “Literally” will reappear. We would like to reassure Club members that they will receive three issues of the magazine for each subscription paid.
We are sad to hear that the distinguished British photographer Martin Parr, famous for his wryly distinctive images of everyday life, has died. In 2002 we asked him to direct the video for our song “London” and he made a short film which, in its combination of urban pathos and quirky London street life, was instantly recognisable as his work. We send our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Neil and Chris xx
