Default Pet shop boys
I know they make electronic music but I did quite like some of their stuff BUT one of them has been quoted as saying the acoustic guitar should be banned!
If that is true, I don’t like them any more.
If I could find the cd my wife has of theirs I would mash it!

When you're done "mashing" it send the pieces to me and I'll burn it!

Having read the interview on The Guardian's site, those two specialize in arch comments, whatever the topic.

What are “arch” comments?

Arch, as in smart-alecky. Probably some remark that arches one's eyebrow.

I like the Pet Shop Boys, they've written some fantastic pop songs. This is just tongue in cheek from Tennant.

From that era and genre, I like better Everything But The Girl and Swingout Sister.

Don't let it get to you, those guys are hardly musicians, they haven't got a clue.

I wish I'd made $14m being a clueless barely-musician

Dusty Springfield did some recording with those guys, so they can't be all bad...

Or you could just go on with your life with the understanding that people are going to have differing opinions and that allowing perfect strangers to control your emotions in situations that do not affect you gives those strangers power they do not deserve.

I don't like beets.
I don't like mayonnaisse.
I don't like pet reptiles.
I don't like piezo pickups.
I don't like country music.
None of that should be a reason for anyone to get even mildly upset.

Weird, I just finished whipping up a batch of my famous Beet & Iguana Salad (hint: use plenty of mayo) for supper, and now I'm gonna take another shot at mastering "I Walk the Line" on my PRS Custom 24 piezo!

Anything to get newsprint ! That's all it is.

Crazy talk. What would happen to Twitter if people thought like that?
