March 1986

David O’Callaghan lent me a really cool tape today called ‘Please’ by an ace new group called The Pet Shop Boys.  It’s well-smart. The tape is recorded with Dolby Digital and starts with these digital bleeps, so futuristic! All the songs are made with synthesisers, I’ve never heard anything like it. There’s so many brilliant tracks, my favourites are Two Divided by Zero and Love Comes Quickly, but all the tracks are just ace. I went for a walk up Green Hill this afternoon listening to it on my Walkman, it was a perfect Spring day and I felt amazed with everything, the music, the view of Romsey, the weather. I can’t wait to tell Jamie and Scott about this album, they’re going to love it.
