Show and tell: Pet Shop Boys

Show and Tell: PSB: pet shop boys and Damien Hirst
We were asked to film a short promo advertising our upcoming appearance on the German TV show Wetten Dass. The shop/gallery Other Criteria on New Bond Street kindly let us record it in front of this Damien Hirst. Afterwards we looked at the proof of a beautiful print by Gary Hume called Two Roses which Other Criteria is publishing. Carisa, our manager’s assistant, took this photo on Neil’s iPhone Photograph: guardian.co.uk
Show and Tell: PSB: poster on phone box
They’re a new group, apparently. Fly-posting is a great way of introducing a new name to the public. It’s exciting when you have a new record out seeing posters on the streets advertising it Photograph: guardian.co.uk
Show and Tell: PSB: surveillance camera
Cameras are everywhere. We hate surveillance culture. When did we vote for it? Photograph: Pet Shop Boys
Show and Tell: PSB: Tal Rosner video
Tal Rosner is a video artist we know. We went to the opening of his show in a gallery in Cecil Court, off Charing Cross Road. His videos looked particularly good glimpsed through the window Photograph: Pet Shop Boys
Show and Tell: PSB: Soho neon at dusk

Show and Tell: PSB: Neil Tennant at Fortnum & Mason
So we wandered into Fortnum & Mason on Piccadilly. They serve the best tea in London. Chris had lapsang souchong and Neil had Earl Grey (with lemon). Chris, as usual, had a slab of chocolate cake.
