Here's what was @ NME.com today:

The Killers announce new single
'Read My Mind' to be released on February 26
The Killers are set to released their new single 'Read My Mind' on February 26.

The track is the third single to be taken from 'Sam's Town' following 'Bones' and 'When You Were Young'.

The single will feature new B-sides and remixes, including one from the Pet Shop Boys.

Let's hope in another great remix like Sorry

That's because those bands have an over-inflated opinion of themselves. Also, would PSB really stoop to that level...

Those bands do not need to work with Pet Shop Boys and Pet Shop Boys do not need to work with such huge bands either!

Oh come on ! Chillout !>...they are working together simply because they like each other a lot...Did you watch Life in POP? ....I think both acts are great and I am always thrilled when people I admire like each other and work together , it just comforts me in my musical tastes!...Fortunately this happens a lot.
The Killers always take great care in their remixes ( Mylo - Somebody told me , and the kick-ass Stuart Price mix of Mr Brightside). I cant wait to hear this one and I hope this time there will be a proper Maxi CD release ( unlike the previous 2 singles) .

So is the version being played on the radio a mild PSB remix? Is it different to the version on the album?

So just a radio remix from PSB, not a big club mix? And just a 2 track CD?

Oh, let's hope there will be another great remix not like Sorry (awful work) ...
"Read My Mind" - for me, it's weak song. But a catchy tune as it is, it has some potential which, I expect, Chris may develop in right direction.

Found this on www.recordstore.co.uk:

1. Read My Mind (Album Version)
2. Read My Mind (Pet Shop Boys Stars Are Blazing Mix)

I read on a Killers fansite that some remixes will be available as digital downloads on iTunes. I wouldn't be surprised if the long PSB remix is one of them.

I like that title

I just got an e-mail from the killers german site. You can preview the pet shop boys mixes there: http://www.vertigo.fm/_artists/thekillers/

The pet shop boys mixes are:
Read My Mind (Pet Shop Boys Radio Edit)
Read My Mind (Pet Shop Boys Stars Are Blazing Mix)

Based on the previews, I'm not too impressed though (sounds very similar to the original). And it seems that the remixes/EP will be only available on iTunes.

And I think I heard Neil's voice is in the Stars are Blazing Mix.

You are indeed correct
