web page hit counter Poison Ninjas

Wednesday, May 24, 2006


It's not on paper or anything but the Pet Shop Boys are among my favorite bands. I remember the time I told Dave that the Pet Shop Boys could be better than New Order. He got so upset that he rolled down a hill and played DDR with the whole town. Michael Mayer takes Flamboyant and makes it even more unstoppable by creating a sparser structure leaving more room for precocious beats and handclaps. Fucking Handclaps dude! Watch out for 5:20. That's when the song finds its ridiculous groove and makes you feel like dancing in the jungle with polar bears.

Pet Shop Boys- Flamboyant (Michael Mayer remix)
