Pet Shop Boys - Thursday!

Out October 23rd

This was a highlight of AlunaGeorge's debut album run in 2013 and back then Shadow Child turned it into a stomping house banger with his remix. Now, in 2026, Aluna has re-recorded some of her vocals for this remix with Riordan et al. It sounds absolutely brilliant.

Blessings, Golden and Die With A Smile? What an absolute beaming ray of joy that really is.

Ooh yeah this is great. It captures some of the essence of what Sam was doing with their debut album.

Returned yesterday, 4 episodes are available now with new ones coming each Tuesday. I had read earlier in the year that once this series airs both this and I Kissed A Boy are done after 2 series (the cancellation is due to budget reasons).

The millennium series has been discounted. Basic CDs £3.99, Special edition CDs £4.99 and vinyls £12.99. All on their webstore, some have sold out already

"They're either missing in action, dead or Vinny", that completely got me 💀

I feel so sorry for Billy but how can he prove that Bea's lying? Nicola throwing the bread on the floor was camp af.

Right you are! When they played it yesterday it was only billed as "new music" and not confirmed as TOTW.

Am I just being really stupid here but why does it make sense for someone to be practically shoehorned in as a MP to then make a leadership challenge 4 days later? What does Andy Burnham know about running the country (even if he does have a history with Labour)? It feels like we're just throwing anyone at the wall that will hopefully stick. The media have been atrocious with this whipped up frenzy.

Agreed

And yet Rein Me In became Sam's first ever charting single in the US? Stop comparing him to Taylor Swift it doesn't wash.

Lol stop it now, you're just trolling

Has it been going viral on socials? I feel like I hear it a fair bit but could just be my feed! This and Movin' To The Sun also resonating a lot with UK listeners right now

I actually kind of like it, it wouldn't sound too out of place on his Snacks album though that is now coming up on 7 years old so it's hardly a development in sound I guess

MR BRIGHTSIDE RESET WHEN

Tune of the Week Dean McCullough: FLO - Don't Break Her Heart Greg James: Barry Can't Swim - Return To Bhibo Rickie, Melvin and Charlie: Aitch - RMB (Ring My Bell) Matt and Mollie: Ella Langley - Be Her Going Home: Blossoms - Meet Me In Love

Breaking News: Dance music producer caught in the act using vocal chops and actual production techniques to make a song accused of using just AI.

This is the side to Bea we should've seen months ago not just before she leaves. I do like how Karen has been involved in Chelsea and Jordan's story, it makes it seem more real to actually get her advice here. Also, HALF CHRISTMAS KLAXON.

So she got booed at TRNSMT Festival on Friday for only playing new music. It was a secret set though, purposely intended to showcase her new album. Afterglow and Disconnect were performed at the end.

The emergency tape definitely had to kick in but not sure if it was 1Xtra that was the issue as it was during the simulcast for the Rap Show

Thought this would be an interesting one to post as it doesn't often get published to the public eye. Very similar to Radio 2 but a little different too.
