Video Notables – Pet Shop Boys
21 Feb
“Don’t have to be!” I have been loving “Love Etc”, and now the Boys have unleashed their animated accompaniment to the track. Part Super Mario Brothers, part kaleidoscope, all fabulous. Some of you who checked out their performance from the Brits will probably recognize some of the graphics from the on-stage backdrop, but the video just takes the song to the next level. March 24th is when “Yes” comes out in the US, and it can’t get here soon enough. What’s the verdict, folks?

Stumble It!
Oh my god! It’s a big GAY version of Sonic The Hedgehog – with only a slightly better soundtrack. Love the video, still underwhelmed by the song.
What a cool video. It does resemble an old video game. Good observation.
Incredible stuff. Can definitely see the Sonic inspiration too!
l-o-v-e it. marvelous. brilliant. cartoon kissing. l-o-v-e it.
Blogging. Don’t have to be beautiful, but it helps!
The vid is very much Super Mario Bros–nice observation.
The vid was yanked. boo the EMI whores.
brilliant vid…definitely fits well into the PSB video cannon. And the song is top stuff as well!
ALLOVER THE WORLD for next PSB single. It’s “worlds” (pardon the pun) better than “Love, Etc.”.
All, video is updated. I guess someone got a bit defensive they weren’t getting the YouTube traffic.
Will, but I’m not done with this one yet!
Echo, no arguments at all.
Yuri, that’s the line of the week.
Paul, I like it when you say “snogging”.
Adem, I’ve played a little too much of those games back in the day.
ww, I still go back to the video. That doesn’t happen often.
Mike, it is rather brilliant.
