Pet Shop Boys | Being Boring (1988) Nope. Not a homo-erotic music video. Nope. Not at all. It tries to not be and fails miserably. And damn how I love this song! In the early 90s, One of my best friends and I would go on long drives with PSB playing on the cassette player….

🖸 Favorite Nala Songs 🖸
Carly Simon / That’s The Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be (1971) I would imagine most millenials and younger are unfamiliar with Carly Simon.
