Subject: [Introspective] Poll ends soon on three PSB singles you'd include
 in a 1970s through '90s dance set
Message-ID: <b836f972-fa8a-1246-853f-c594c05ae32b@geowayne.com>

Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current poll, 
which asks you to pick the three Pet
Shop Boys singles released up through 1999 that you would include in a 
DJ dance-set for a 1970s, '80s, and '90s dance. If you haven't placed 
your votes yet, please take a moment to visit my "Commentary" site at 
http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and make your choices right there on 
my home page.

On Sunday I will end this poll, post the final results, and start a new 
survey for the next two weeks.

Thanks to everyone who has already voted! And I hope you all have a 
terrific weekend!

Subject: [Introspective] Final results of poll on three PSB singles for a
 pre-2000 dance-set
Message-ID: <5b9d7702-6313-ae37-1ab4-d0721e07d605@geowayne.com>

The final results are in for my poll of the past two weeks, in which I 
asked my site visitors to pick the three Pet Shop Boys singles they 
would recommend including in a DJ's pre-2000 dance-set. And the three 
songs that received the most votes were:

* "Always on My Mind," picked by 36.4% of the voters,
* "Domino Dancing," chosen by 25.0%, and
* "New York City Boy," selected by 23.6%.

To see the complete results, please visit my "Commentary" site at 
http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and select one of the "Past Survey 
Results" options in the top navigation bar or click the appropriate link 
on my "What's New?" page.

My new poll for the next two weeks returns to my series of "album era" 
surveys, although it may be the last one for a while. This time I'm 
jumping to the Boys' self-described "Imperial Phase": the "Actually" 
era. What are your three favorite Pet Shop Boys songs from that fabled 
period of their career, when they were at their peak of mainstream 
commercial popularity? (After all, it accounts for no fewer than three 
of their four U.K. #1 singles!) So please take a moment to make your 
choices right there on my home page.

Thanks to everyone who voted in the previous survey! And I wish you all 
a fantastic two weeks ahead!

I found a cool podcast that covers classic records that belong in your permanent collection. I was listening today and guess what? Intro member Wayne Studer is recognized on a podcast! His solid site and, more impressively, his persistence and depth are also recognized.

I hope the music play on & on & on & on & on!
I've been looking for things to listen to on the way to and from work.
I am excited to discuss new material! Until then, I'm enjoying the "classics!"

PSB Forever,
Don

Coolio. Wayne is one of the all-time great fans, of any band not just the PSB. 

Don, looks like you have been correct that PSB are lasting forever. New single and album on the horizon!

Hey there! Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current 
survey, which asks you to pick your three favorite songs from the Pet

Subject: [Introspective] Final results of poll on three favorite songs from
 the PSB "Actually era"
Message-ID: <8f64890e-dc3e-b3e6-fee3-3948edc06688@geowayne.com>

The final results are in for my poll of the past two weeks, in which I 
asked my site visitors to choose their three favorite songs from the Pet 
Shop Boys' "Actually era." And the three songs that received the most 
votes are:

* "It's a Sin," picked by 43.2% of the voters,
* "King's Cross," selected by 40.2%, and
* "Always on My Mind," chosen by 31.1%.

Actually, over the past week there was a neck-and-neck battle between 
"Always on My Mind" and "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" for third 
place, with the latter song taking the lead on several occasions. But 
over the past 24 hours or so, AOMM regained the third-place position and 
held on to the end. At any rate, to see the complete results, please 
visit my "Commentary" site at http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and 
select one of the "Past Survey Results" options from the top navigation 
bar or click the appropriate link on my "What's New?" page.

My new poll for the next two weeks asks your general, overall opinion of 
the songs -- especially the four new ones -- from "Musik," the Pet Shop 
Boys' new collaboration with Frances Barber and Jonathan Harvey. Please 
take a few moments to consider the various options I've listed right 
there on my home page and make your choice. And, rest assured, I'll be 
giving you a chance later on to rate each song individually sometime 
soon, once we've all had a chance to "digest" them a little more. This 
poll is just an early *collective* assessment.

In the meantime, thanks to everyone who voted in my previous survey! And 
I hope you all have a superb two weeks ahead!
