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:

Royal P- Between Us
^ My numba one, despite not knowing anything about UK Funky.

Manuel Tur- Will Be Mine

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.

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

I could've sworn I nominated Dizzee's Bonkers and La Roux's Bulletproof...

You used 9 of your nominations, said "6 left," and then never used the rest.

Thought for sure somebody nommed Zero Boys, but no big.

Missed the nomination process. Apparently nobody liked Music For Men and Sally Shapiro.

musically did you get my email?

yeah, I can't change the ballots in the form as they are so I'll change them when I start tallying, I'll reply to confirm once I do it.

sorry about that, thx

aw shit, I misread the thread title and thought this was a best of the 2000s poll. ignore my ballot then.

regret hit immediately after sending it. would never have been happy though.

so did we decide that 'real life is no cool' will be in the 2010 poll? just checking before i submit my ballot...

unreg didn't you notice that every album on the list was from this year? or did you not read the directions

anyway musically how many ballots so far? Are not gonna get as many as last year?

2010 poll, psychgawsple.

I've finally decided on the final album for my ballot - man, that took so long, including sometimes enduring some real "poop" on the noms list. The trax were sorted within 10 minutes.

But thanks to whomever nommed Omar S (i gave it a few listens last summer, then inexplicably put it aside for the rest of the year - truly amazing, fun stuff), whomever nommed Ben Frost (brutal, searing, powerful and beautifull) and Joris Voorn (madskillz!!) - they're all in my ballot.

Ballot heading musically's way this evening

Yeah, the Ben Frost is great, more people should hear that. Here's the opening track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43YG2bsEQtM

musically, can i ask you to email me a copy of my ballot? w/ that new submission format i realized i didnt keep a copy of my votes! either the email address i submitted or webmail here is fine, thanks!

xpost Yeah, someone posted about that Ben Frost on some thread around Christmas time and it became my soundtrack for the holidays. I spend a lot of time driving across frozen Canadian landscapes not a lot different than that video.

aw shit, I misread the thread title and thought this was a best of the 2000s poll. ignore my ballot then.

you had to miss a whole lot of other stuff besides the thread title to not pick up on that!

i'll email the ballots out tonight, google docs is blocked on my work computer so I can't tell how many are in, i think there were 65~ yesterday. we had about 85 last year so hopefully we can at least match it.

submitted!!so you should have at least 66

so did we decide that 'real life is no cool' will be in the 2010 poll? just checking before i submit my ballot...
