Have you ever taken advantage of marketing PSB...

in your own little ways?

I was doing total gym tonite, (that machine from hell) w/ Various on TV, happen to remember back in the mid 90's, when I was taking gym as an elective @ college (instead of music or chorus), I convinced my group -made up of mostly girls & some sweet guys who didn't like football-, to present as our final choreography "I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing", they had never heard of it before, but loved it and got away w/ it...those good old days...

I'm still doing so. I carefully watch news items about PSB. When the Dutch concert organizer sent out a press release annoucing the PSB gig in Amsterdam (22 May), it featured a disturbing error. Lots of media copied the press release (and the error) and I sent some messages, asking to correct it. Radio 3FM immediately did so, so it had effect.

In a popular Dutch chart, the single "She's Madonna" is only credited to Robbie Williams. I did some research to find out which organisation compiles this chart. I managed to contact them, requested them to add PSB. I got an answer: they will correct the error in the charts.

So, in fact I try my best to get correct and deserved media coverage for PSB in the Netherlands. I don't take advantage of anything, though.

I promoted PSB around the world...

When I was in Conan O´Brien´s Finland episode.

Can´t do better than that.

I always try to promote them as much as I can.

Me too, I cannot avoid it. Even my boyfriend, who is not a PSB fan, knows every PSB song(and Sandra´s Kylie´s ones too...).

yes, I sang Paninaro at the faculty ball

I had around 300-400 people in the audience

Also I've promoted them to all real/potential girlfriends I had.

I was playing as a club DJ for more than 10 years. I've always played the most actual hits (or suitable remixes of them) from our loved boys, but when I got more and more drunk, I started to play the most actual continuous dance mix of my mind...

I think my most played songs were: Se a Vida e (Mark Picchiotti's Shelter Dub) and Discoteca (Trouser Enthusiasts' Beyond the Stellar Empire Mix)

I've been invited to play again early last year, I don't think I need to mention the remix of Madonna's Sorry, I've played...

Trying to convert friends is always easier, no member of my family has ever been into PSB.

When I had a radio show, I did my best to include remixes of their newest singles.

hehe, i sang the psb-version of "always on my mind" on a karaoke-night, with about 100 people audience. i did also "true faith" and "world in my eyes", that where much easier to sing for me. was great fun, although i was very nervous.

I sometimes murder "West End Girls" when there's only a few in - I can't sing to save myself.

10/10 for effort, 0/10 for quality!

Unfortunately, the karaoke version of the music isn't very good and is slightly off-tempo. We can play the proper the version with video though, so next time I might try that and see if I can sing over Neil's vocals.

In 1994 whilst touring Australia my friend and I decorated his record store with 30+ 12" singles and other stuff to promote the boys arrival in town. I took photos.
