[Introspective] Pet Shop Boys and the Daily Mail

[Lidia tennant]

I think if the mail is giving free this pet shop boys cd it is because they are not than homophobic? maybe they changed?

I am reading severals comments like this and I really dont understand why psb choose that newspaper.

> The full track-listing is:
> 1. West End girls (10" mix)
> 2. Paninaro (7" mix)
> 3. It's a sin (Disco mix)
> 4. What have I done to deserve this? (7" mix)
> 4. Jealousy (7" mix)
