Pet Shop Boys Announce Third 'Elysium' Single: "Memory Of The Future"

Following "Leaving," Pet Shop Boys will release "Memory Of The Future" as the next single off Elysium. On their official site, they note that the full details will be made available in November, and that there will be a remix of the song by Stuart Price, who also did the single mix for their Yes single "All Over The World" in 2009.

I have to admit, "Memory Of The Future" is one of my favorite tracks off Elysium, next to "A Face Like That." As I wrote when I reviewed the album for Idolator in September, the song "is classic Pet Shop Boys, from its irresistible melody to the snaky disco beat."

It's Carly Rae Jepsen's "This Kiss" Video

Parts of Carly Rae Jepsen's video for "This Kiss" remind me of the movie Clueless — the girls frolicking at a Val party, the game of suck and blow, the presence of the handsome blonde dude with long hair as a love interest, etc. All that's missing is Carly getting held up at gunpoint outside of Circus Liquor.

Nice song, and one of the standouts from her woefully under-performing album Kiss.

Olly Murs' "Troublemaker" Video Features Bikini Sluts And Flo Rida

I've already rambled about Olly Murs' new single "Troublemaker" — a Maroon 5 knockoff if there ever was one. It's a decent track hampered only by the useless appearance of Flo Rida. And now it has a video with some ho who looks like a Z-grade rendition of everyone's favorite dour-faced flop actress Kristen Stewart. 

Fuck this trash.

The Wanted's "I Found You" Video Makes Me Think Of Naughty Things

Will The Wanted ever have another US hit again? Will their next album ever get a release? I don't have the answers to these questions, but I do know two things:

• 1. "I Found You" is A Jam.
• 2. I'd like to have sex with Max George's mouth.

That's entertainment, pop cats!
