'In Denial' and 'Leaving' would be my keepers from Nightlife/Elysium.

Not sure I'll ever understand the antipathy towards to Nightlife, here and elsewhere.

I wonder how they're getting on with the new LP...

Per the interview, recording is under way.

“Really quite often, a publisher says, ‘Let’s get Neil Tennant to write his autobiography’ and it’s quite nice that they do […] I’m not convinced my life’s been interesting enough."
Gah. I really can't think of a biography that I'd be more interested in reading.

I loved the occasional PSB anecdotes that punctuated Jarman's "Modern Nature".

Does anybody know the back story as to why they split from Bobby O.? Apparently they recorded a whole album’s worth of stuff.
