[368] when you dance with me, we dance forever
TGIM! Because that means there's just two more days of work? And today is going to be a very dumb one, because corporate has decided that all of the work orders from when CDK was down need to be closed by the end of the day, which is a genuinely laughable prospect as we've still got hundreds of the bastard things floating around, but I'm sure all the managers will be losing their minds about it right up until the moment we fail. But also I'm still sick, so hopefully I'll be pathetic enough that nobody will be mad at me as I continue to be unbearably slow at sourcing information.
Wikipedia Sez: Actually (stylised as Pet Shop Boys, actually.) is the second studio album by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, released on 7 September 1987 by Parlophone in the United Kingdom and by EMI Manhattan in North America. According to Neil Tennant and music historian Wayne Studer, Actually loosely critiques Thatcherism, the political zeitgeist of the 1980s, and was recorded in anticipation of Margaret Thatcher's re-election.
Genre: September 7th, 1987
Styles: Pop/Rock
Release Date: Alternative Dance, Dance-Pop, Dance-Rock, Club/Dance
Prior Familiarity: Low! My awareness of Pet Shop Boys has always been weirdly vague at best, and I'm not sure why! One of those groups that I think I kinda conflated with other groups in my head, to the point where I wasn't even entirely positive what kind of music they made?
What I Did While Listening: Chilled in the dark after a late-night bath. Pushed back the night a little bit longer.
Verdict: PET SHOP BOYS, I AM SORRY I WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH YOUR GAME.
Favourite Song: It's a Sin, which is excellently Peter Lynne-coded, even if What Have I Done To Deserve This? is the episode where he gets hit with all those knives. Also the track that's just 'BITCHES LOVE SHOPPING, IT'S US, WE'RE BITCHES'.

It feels like I'm swallowing glass, diving back into the spreadsheets for a while.
