Tomorrow (Saturday) is the last full day of my current poll, which asks you to rate the five most recently released Pet Shop Boys/Tennant-Lowe songs on a scale of 0 to10 as they compare to their other songs (not to other artists' songs), with 0 meaning "One of their all-time worst," 5 meaning "Average for them," and 10 meaning "One of their all-time best." If you haven't voted yet, please take a few moments to rate these songs right on the home page of my "Commentary" site at http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm. On Sunday I will end this survey and post the final results. And I'll also make a special announcement at that time. Thanks to everyone who has already voted! And I wish you all a delightful weekend!

And the song in this group that received the highest average rating was: * "Dreamland," with an average voter rating of 6.369. 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. There you can also find a link to my "Rating Project" page, where you can see how these five newest ratings fall within the ratings for all of the other PSB songs. With this, my 900th poll, I need to call a temporary halt in my regular PSB surveys as well as an also-temporary reduction in my site updates. This will include, starting roughly a month from now, a temporary *complete* halt in updates that will last a few weeks before I can once again resume my regular operations. This is because we are about to move to a new home -- a new town, in fact, several hundred miles away -- which will involve a lot of work and disruption, including, for part of that time, a lack of computer/internet access. You can read more about it on my home page. But I hope you'll be patient and bear with me during this period. I'll keep you posted on how things progress -- especially once I'm fully "back in business." In the meantime, I wish you all the best. Take care! Wayne psbfan at geowayne.com
