Nunca he sido partidario de abordar los cotilleos y similares dentro de una banda, pero en este caso, debido a su simpatía, me he decidido a transcribir una noticia que salió en el London Diary ayer, 8 de Junio.

Wherever they find themselves, those White Cubers always know how to have a good time. After the opening of Sam Taylor-Wood's show at the Gateshead Baltic contemporary art centre in the north of England, a hard core of inner-circle revellers ended up in Newcastle's Chinatown Karaoke bar where, thanks to gallery supremo Jay Jopling playfully requesting the Pet Shop Boys classic "West End Girls" for a certain "Neil T", the assembled group (along with some bemused locals) were treated to the memorable sight of the Pet Shop Boy himself, Neil Tennant, singing along to his own hit. However his rendition was apparently somewhat halting as he grappled with the novel experience of reading his lyrics off a screen and keeping up with a pre-recorded backing track.

Para aquellos que no entendáis la noticia, simplemente resumiros que despues de un recital, Neil y algunos amigos acabaron en un karaoke del barrio chino de Newcastle, y el propio Neil decidió arrancarse con West End girls, para sorpresa y regocijo de los allí presentes.

Gracias a Lidia Tennant (www.tennant-lowe.com) por el aviso.
