As a huge Pet Shop Boys fan, i find a lot of their antics of late to be very "Rock & Roll" Playing at both the Olympics and the Para-Olympics for one. Don't get me wrong they are a great British band and perhaps i'm being far too cynical. However, the fact they've got a new album out and a forthcoming single in October makes one wonder if the Olympic gigs were a genuine love of all things British or a good bit of promotion for product. It just all feels a bit fake and in someways in bad taste. I always liked Pet Shop Boys because i felt they were outsiders and they have often been very vocal themselves about other stars being part of such events to meet their own ends.

Regards
