Pet Shop Boys will be on BBC Radio 2 this Saturday, July 6th at 10pm, talking to Dave Pearce and playing their choice of music. It will be “a two hour takeover in which they talk about the evolution of their new ‘back to their dance roots’ album Electric, working with producer Stuart Price, and enthuse over some of the music that inspired them and new artists they admire. Expect to hear an eclectic variety of songs ranging from The Temptations through to Lykke Li via Afrika Bambaata, and of course exclusive airings of some of the tracks from Electric.”
Pet Shop Boys’ “Se a vida é (That’s the way life is)” was released as a single on this day 30 years ago. A video for the song was filmed at the Wet ‘n’ Wild theme park in Orlando, Florida, directed by photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber who also made the videos for “Being boring” and “I get along”.
