May I be so unpolite as to ask how it's going with the "best latin rock songs of the 90s" item? I'm still really looking forward to that!

Excellent question and certainly not impolite.

The "90s songs" poll will be put off to January due to lack of interest from readers. (i.e. We got very few suggestions and some lukewarm feedback).

I think we'll try again shortly after the New Year. Does it sound like a good idea?
