MUSIC FROM SPACE: Pet Shop Boys - LOVE ETC.

Han Hoogerbrugge, the fiendishly brilliant Dutch graphic designer and Flash animator previously featured here at Monsters and Rockets, has cooked up an eyeball-tickling new video for Love Etc., the latest single from Pet Shop Boys. (That's right, there's apparently no "the" in their name. Believe me, I'm as surprised as you are.)

After spending a few minutes struggling to come up with something clever to say about this clip, I've realized I can't really improve on how Stereogum described it: "(this) horizontally scrolling animated video is part Sonic The Hedgehog (dated video game reference!) and part Pac Man (chomping down on hearts, shamrocks, and cash money), with a lineup of Chrisses, Neils, and others shouting, flexing, unmasking, and turning into Draculas."

Yup. Pretty much. (Click the image at left to buy Pet Shop Boys' new album, Yes.)
