How to improve the official site

OK so let's have some constructive ideas for how the new web designers can improve the official site.
I'd like massive heads of PSB characters (similar to the Go West sleeves) like Neil, Chris, JS-P, Tom Watkins and Cicero for different parts of the site. This would make navigation easier.
Neil - lyrics
Chris - samples
JS-P - media
Tom Watkins - shop
Cicero - erm....

just the reinstatement of the old monthly Q&A responses would do me, they were a great reference tool

Why don't they give the change of chosing ONE of the singles of the new album to the fans making a poll?, at the end we are their potential buyers (and it's only one single).

What a preposterous idea. Fans are reputedly crap at picking singles.
PSB should release what they bloody well want to. It is their career, the product of their creativity so why on earth should they consult with whiny, bitchy 'fans'. There will *always* be people moaning like there's no tomorrow. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
It is one thing to consult their entourage and/or impartial people as to whether they like a song or not etc. But at the end of the day, it is their decision that should prevail. Period.

You cannot possibly let the fans pick a single for crying out loud. You would get internet forum warfare. Just look at the polls on here. Everyone is split with their decisions and constant whingeing.

I'm sure the most voted option will be fair.

I've always thought we should be able to vote for who is in the group.
At the moment I'd like Shakira and Eva Longoria in some sort of Trevor Horn produced faux lesbian duo. What do you mean it's been done before?

I'd be more interested in a kids album with nursery rhymes. Maybe Alison Moyet as a lesbian tom cat in Boots, alongside Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and David Blunkett singing Three Blind Mice while tapping a casio keyboard in A Windmill in old Amsterdam.
Edit : Bo*locks, thats being planned by another band already.

First, take it to the bathtub and drown it. Compassionately, but resolutely. Don't let the pathetic gurgles, bubbles and underwater shrieking sway you; this is Damien. Then start over.
Well, not that bad. But every day I read dozens of well-done blogs by people CLEARly on drugs, and I can't believe this design studio are using Neil's Centurion Black AmEx to cut giant gaggers of coke at his expense, whilst launching a site with SO many bugs and problems.
Oh wait, you said "constructive". Sorry can't help there. Non-fuktuppedness would be a start?

How to improve it?
Easy: making it work. Right now, it's plain too slow.

Yeah making it actually work would be a very good start, however, they have "borrowed" a few pictures from my website (imperfections on cd covers which are obviously unique to me - just incase anyone asks how i know) which suprises me coz i thought they would have everything on file.
For me they need to improve the discography. They haven't included full tracklistings for their singles (ie. remix 12"'s 10"'s etc) Nor have they included more than one image for each single!! Point????
I'm sure it's a work in progress, but.........
And there's no reason at all why my website and others like "Covers & Quotations" shud have so much more than the official site!
