Just When Least Expect It

It’s been a week of chair dancing since I saw the announcement, but today is the day.

PopArt is released on DVD.

It’s every Pet Shop Boy video clip, in order, with an additional commentary track that runs through the entire DVD.

I know I’m not going to be able to help myself. I’ll skip straight to ‘Being Boring’ and watch that, oh, a hundred times or so. Quick flick to ‘So Hard’ and then back to the start to run through them all. Once that’s over it will be time to watch the whole thing again with the commentary on and then once more to watch them without the commentary but knowing the background. That’s most of Saturday gone. Sunday may be a case of rinse and repeat.

And Mum, if you’re reading this, don’t e-mail and complain that you could have got it for Christmas for me. There is no way I could last twenty days knowing this DVD was available and not have it. I was tempted to take an annual leave day just so I could start hunting for it at 9.00 am.
