ISayISayISay:
There was an interview with english pop-duo Pet Shop Boys that was
taken by Tom Bishop for BBC News Online. Here is some interesting
excerpts from this interview:
"The Pet Shop Boys'
longevity has been matched by Madonna, Simply Red and George
Michael, who also emerged in the mid-1980s; but only one electropop
duo threatened their chart record.
"Don't mention Erasure - don't even go
there!" jokes Lowe.
"Traditionally we were meant to feel a big
rivalry with Erasure, but that's not really an 'us' thing," states
Tennant . "It was never a Blur and Oasis
 situation.
"It used to annoy us that sometimes the
public would blur the two groups. People often used to say: 'I like
the Pet Shop Boys and Erasure' in the same breath.
"And we - and I'm sure they - always
regarded ourselves as being really quite different in approach. But
then some people stop me in the street and think I'm Holly Johnson,
so whatever..."
