  • After hearing the Pet Shop Boys’ “Yes” album sampler, I’m not too excited—no dancey dance hits. Seems like some nice love songs, chillout. #
  • After rewatching the PSB part of The Brits, I’m thinking that hosts Mathew Horne & James Corden (”Gavin & Stacey”) were on some major pills. #

  • Matthew’s paintings are now available on Etsy: http://mathyou.etsy.com #
