[Introspective] Final results of poll on "PSB merchandising"

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in for my poll this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors whether they were happy with "PSB merchandising." And the 
response that received the largest number of votes was:

* "I can't say. I've never bought anything from their official online store 
or any other 'PSB merchandise' aside from their CDs and DVDs," chosen by 
36.5% of the voters.

To see the complete results, please visit my "Commentary" site at

button in the left navigation bar.

I'm asking you to put your thinking caps on for my new poll this week. 
Imagine the Pet Shop Boys are planning to release a five-CD boxed set that 
will constitute their "definitive career retrospective." They want it to 
appeal to the widest possible audience, including not only die-hard fans but 
also more casual fans and even non-fans who have yet to buy any PSB music 
but who are open to the prospect. Now, imagine also that they've asked for 
*your* opinion on the percentage breakdown of this boxed-set's contents: 
singles, non-single album tracks, b-sides, demos, remixes, previously 
unreleased songs, live recordings, etc. What would you say? - with the 
caveats that no one category can make up more that 50% of the contents and 
the total has to come to 100% (duh!). So please take a few minutes to check 
out the choices right there on my home page, mull it over, work out the 
percentages, and then "fill out the form" and submit your vote whenever 
you're ready. And thanks so much to Dave F. to suggesting this challenging 
question!

Thanks also to everyone who voted in this past week's survey! And I hope you 
all have a great week ahead!
