[Introspective] Final results of poll on extended periods of PSB silence

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in for my poll this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors how they feel about extended periods of silence from the Pet 
Shop Boys, such as the one that recently ended on their official website. 
And the response that received the largest number of votes was:

* "I'm fine with it. They deserve some time off after being so busy with 
their ballet and summer tour," selected by more than half -- 53.2%, to be 
precise -- of the voters.

To see the complete results, please visit my "Commentary" site at 
http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and click the "Past Survey Results" 
button in the left navigation bar.

My new survey for the week ahead concerns prospects for the Pet Shop Boys' 
next studio album. I'm asking you to quantify something that wouldn't 
ordinarily be quantified, but here goes: about what percentage of the next 
album would you like to be stylistically "new and different" for them --  
perhaps even "experimental" -- as opposed to being in their "typical" 
style(s) or the "tried and true." (I'll leave it up to you to decide for 
yourself what those terms in quotation marks mean to you from your own 
perspective.) For instance, if you would like it all to be totally "new" in 
style, then pick 100%. If you would like for it to be about half "new" but 
half more "typical," then pick 50%. And if you don't want any of it to be 
stylistically "new" at all, then choose 0%. And so on. So please mull this 
over and, when you're ready, make your choice from the options provided 
there on my home page.

Meanwhile, thanks to everyone who voted in last week's survey! And I hope 
each and every one of you has a 100% great week ahead!
