!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~FINALLY - 2009 ILX Albums 'n' Trax Poll voting thread ahoy~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (VOTING CLOSED: lol Whiney)

i'd be willing to join a bloc for 'fancy' if everybody else agrees.

not sure I'll vote a Dream song, but it's down to "Fancy" and "Sweat It Out" if I do. wouldn't mind blocing for "Fancy".

if i vote for azari & iii, it'll be "reckless with your love", but right now i does look like it'll be shut out of my 20

considering ignoring all electrik red/dream/taylor swift/quik & kurupt trax just because the albums are what need to be repped and i need to free up some space, though may make an exception for "fancy"

Alex in Montreal: yeah, definitely go see Azari & III - unless some major issue would prevent you; better than dealing with regrets of not.

I'm voting for Hungry For The Power over Reckless. I love Reckless, but using whatever logic I'm employing to cut down my list it just doesn't scrape into the top 20.

Also kind of feel like it's pointless to vote for any of the Electrik Red or The-Dream tracks since so many got nommed.

I voted for "Rockin' That Shit," which is one of those lesser regarded tracks that will end up being ignored in the final tally, if all goes as anticipated.

we already had this discussion like a month ago but dude "Rockin'" is by far the biggest hit from the album and pretty well regarded in general

anyway the redundancy of voting for deep cuts off stuff that's already on your albums vote, and quibbling over which track to vote for and whether to form a bloc to support one in particular, is just one of the many reasons why i always favor singles lists over 'tracks' lists. but i did fill out the lower spots of my ballot with some album tracks since not all of my favorite singles were nominated (including 2 Love Vs. Money tracks that aren't "Fancy" ha).

all of that otm

i'm considering voting for only actual singles on my traxx list but im not sure if enough got nominated

Just noticed that someone nominated Pogo - Expialidocious, which is hilarious/awesome.

Will pimp "In the Morning" in case folks not on the Funky thread/not reading FACT or whatevs haven't heard it. Top 3 or 4 for me.

i decided to not vote for any e-red or dream tracks

in case anyone is deciding that now is a good time to catch up on jay reatard...

you guys should all vote for "so good" and "sweat it out," it's what i did.

"DON'T FORGET" DEMI LOVATO
#1 Single of the Year
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

So no one knows what the Acidic Jews thing is?

Btw: Any chance I can get my ballot emailed to me? I forgot to save it and I'd like to keep a copy.

Me too on the ballot thing. Only downside to the badass form is I forgot I didn't have it offline.

Me three. I mostly remember what I included, but don't remember how I ranked things (especially singles).

I voted for "Rockin' That Shit," which is one of those lesser regarded tracks that will end up being ignored in the final tally, if all goes as anticipated.

Rockin that Shit is gonna be my #1 fwiw

can i just say how much that Girls album has grown on me. So diverse and awesome and dudes can really play too. I liked a few songs when I first heard it but never would have guessed that it would end up in my top 5.

Rockin that Shit is gonna be my #1 fwiw

Yessssssssssssss!

in a just world this would have been as big than "Pon De Floor"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_blNZLoe1k

lloyd - night & day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA9FJtVofxI

really pissed i didn't nominate 'rigning' by yagya, it would have been my #2.

Yagya - Rigning

i voted 'get it girl'

some stanning for 'my cookie' on ilx but that song just does everything i want from jerk just the right way

handy way of repping for both the bangz and pink dollaz in one vote, too, plus i've had the line "baby i'm a showboat, you can be my skipper then" in my head for about five months now

In the "too bad it wasn't nominated" category, Pet Shop Boys' "This Used to be the Future" would have been in my top 5. (Is it due release as a single in 2010?)

Anyway, should finish my ballot this weekend.

xp Yes, but it is nowhere near as AWESOME as either Never Hungry or Boys With Tattoos OR My Cookie.

jerk vote getting split :(

i don't think i've heard never hungry, can someone post a youtube

never hungry = pink dollaz
the bangz = boys with tattoos
baby dollz = my cookie

oh yeah i've heard this, very great but it's pretty SERIOUS. voting for get it girl, it's such a party.

My two favorite discoveries from Tim's year-end thread:

Lex- "On Some Bullshit" is amazing! Probably even closer to "Swing My Way" than Vistoso Bosses, no?

Have whittled my albums list down to about 35, this is fucking hard.

Anyhow, here's something off the Zelienople album. Thanks to whoever nommed it because I've been listening it *a lot* lately. Hypnotic but tense, a still, calm surface with a menacing undertow.

I posted this Zombi vid on the other thread and here it is again because it seemed to get some positive remarks from everyone.

If you like Alex Moulton,Tangerine Dream or Goblin, then you might love it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvj5ETfafNw

Video is Zombi - Spirit Warrior. From the album Spirit Animal.

Yeah, the Zombi album is enjoyable.

The Mew track = lush epic with vocal polyphony and a great passage in 11. The right side of bombastic. Etienne Jaumet = makes 3/4 work as a house beat. Sax skronk. Trippy.

A wee plug here. If you want to see some poll results then !!!!!!!! ILX METAL ALBUMS of 2009 POLL RESULTS!!!!!! is counting down this week.

I have 45 ballots so far, I got about 85 last year so let's see if we can beat that this time

I got 86 ballots in the '70s album poll, so surely we can.

Oh you will, I got 50 in our poll an increase on last year of 20. I'll submit my ballot later, need to think about it and my hands are full with the poll results. Hows your new format for voting going?
xp

it's pretty terrific, I don't have to do any formatting or extra work, I just have to add a points column, which will probably take about 5 minutes, and then do a pivot table to calculate points. it will probably take me about 30 minutes total at the most.

i'm basically deciding at this point whether to order my ballot or not - the bottom five or so get so few points it doesnt seem worth it

I saved those spots for obvious consensus picks that I like, trying to vote strategic this time.

hmm

ok so for trax i made a rule that i would only vote for something that had an official music video, and i didn't allow any deep cuts from favorite albums

hope people don't forget just how good Tirsdagsjam is.

I would never forget about Turdgasm
