Pretty skimpy list :(

There are no entries matching high contrast

My fault for missing the nominations of course.

what if I ask pipecock to vote? I talk to him now and then.

dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Tuesday, 5 June 2012 05:13 (eleven years ago) link

think we can do without that, tbh

pipecock would have nominated some good records

coal, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 06:20 (eleven years ago) link

tell him to send a ballot down the pipe

Who was Pipecock again? I remember the name being mentioned a few years ago, but I've no idea why his opinion is so important?

Tuomas, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 06:41 (eleven years ago) link

He's a resident advisor writer, blogger and DJ who is known for his strong support of American artists and labels like Omar S, Jus Ed, FXHE and Underground quality. He was always the nicest poster and was banned for an argument with Local Garda that got a little too personal.

Wasn't always, man I'm bad with the typoes lately.

Josiah Alan, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 06:56 (eleven years ago) link

A lot of the music Pipecock rates is great, but his Internet persona really grates as he seems to instinctively dismiss a lot of music because it doesn't fit into his rules. He's probably popped up on all forums at some point, posted for a while, got into a fight with some regulars and then left.

Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 09:22 (eleven years ago) link

in short, he's a purist of the highest order.

dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Tuesday, 5 June 2012 10:08 (eleven years ago) link

is it too late to vote

♆ (gr8080), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 01:35 (eleven years ago) link

nope.

Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 01:37 (eleven years ago) link

how long do I have

♆ (gr8080), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 05:30 (eleven years ago) link

i have 34 ballots at this point ... we're going to next sunday (one week extension) goal is 50 posts

"mouth to mouth" is placing pretty high on my ballot i think

So you have until Sunday Late Great's time. Don't know that means in Hawaii-land.

Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 05:35 (eleven years ago) link

only 3 hours difference (2 in the winter)

♆ (gr8080), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 05:51 (eleven years ago) link

I have no right to complain, as I didn't take part in the nominating process, BUT, why the f*ck isn't this track on the list?:
Luomo - "Synkro"

azaera, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 06:35 (eleven years ago) link

cause it sucks

the late great, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 07:17 (eleven years ago) link

no seriously though i think maybe because it came out way back in 2000 people forgot about it

how about for the next poll we let it sneak by w/ any other 2000 tracks, it'll be 1988-2000 and 2000-2012

the late great, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 07:20 (eleven years ago) link

Probably cause virtually everyone will be voting for tessio instead?

Hennesy Williams (EDB), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 08:36 (eleven years ago) link

I would have voted for "Synkro" over "Tessio" but I always forget that those singles didn't come out until the same year as the album; such promptness is so unusual in dance music.

Tim F, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 08:42 (eleven years ago) link

I actually nominated Synkro, and nobody noticed. Sad now.

Josiah Alan, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 09:20 (eleven years ago) link

i would vote for synkro over tessio too. i also want to vote for lots of other stuff that isn't on the list (PELE BLOSS??) but i didn't nominate anything so sucks to be me i guess.

I think a few got culled along the way maybe to keep the numbers down

coal, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 11:25 (eleven years ago) link

I think something funny happened when I copy and pasted everything into the google doc. As mentioned above some stuff went missing (including, I should note, some of my own noms). That shouldn't stop people from including things, though.

Hennesy Williams (EDB), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 11:58 (eleven years ago) link

Did you get my ballot, the late great? I didn't get a response and wanted to check it had reached you. The fate of mid-00s electro-house depends on it. ;)

Get wolves (DL), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 11:58 (eleven years ago) link

What was decent electro house from mid-decade? Never Be Alone?

viborg, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 13:07 (eleven years ago) link

There are no entries matching mock n toof

viborg, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 13:07 (eleven years ago) link

There are no entries matching idjut boys

viborg, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 13:07 (eleven years ago) link

just do a write-in vote for your favorites

tbh tho if they didn't get nominated they probably wouldn't have placed

i didn't forget about pele bloss but i wouldnt put it in the top 50

the late great, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 15:10 (eleven years ago) link

yeah DL i did get your ballot

the late great, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 18:21 (eleven years ago) link

used your real name on the list, apologies

the late great, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 18:21 (eleven years ago) link

There are no entries matching idjut boys

i think this is because of some discussion in the nom's thread about trying to steer clear of edits for this poll, though there are loads of exceptions that snuck through

i prob would have nom'd some idjuts otherwise

akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Thursday, 7 June 2012 04:03 (eleven years ago) link

tbf i don't think the idjuts have really been working in "house" mode for awhile now unless you count the (sporadic / rare / obscure) droid EPs

there are probably parts of "puddle & spout" that are at least as house-ish as a kdj or theo track but i wasn't gonna nominate some obscure shit that wasn't going to get any votes

if i had i'd probably nominate "oochie coochie"

the late great, Thursday, 7 June 2012 04:24 (eleven years ago) link

just sent mine

dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Friday, 8 June 2012 03:37 (eleven years ago) link

Just sent mine too...
I predict "One More Time", "Miura", "Rej", and possibly "I Feel Space" will all make Top 10.

azaera, Friday, 8 June 2012 06:07 (eleven years ago) link

"Tessio" has a great shot at Top 10 as well; even more so with "Synkro" left off the nomination list.

azaera, Friday, 8 June 2012 06:14 (eleven years ago) link

azaera otm ;-)

the late great, Friday, 8 June 2012 07:04 (eleven years ago) link

I predict "man with the red face" won't make it to the list.

dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Friday, 8 June 2012 10:09 (eleven years ago) link

pls shut down ilm if it doesn't k thx

jabba hands, Friday, 8 June 2012 10:53 (eleven years ago) link

ilx will go up in my estimation if it doesn't make the 50. :D

Chewshabadoo, Friday, 8 June 2012 11:40 (eleven years ago) link

so while making my ballot i happened upon this...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQr6m2l2J-Y

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 8 June 2012 15:30 (eleven years ago) link

just turned in my ballot and realized i forgot tessio

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 8 June 2012 18:17 (eleven years ago) link

oh well, everyone else will vote for it

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 8 June 2012 18:17 (eleven years ago) link

actually i would've voted for synkro if i hadn't inexplicably forgot about luomo

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 8 June 2012 18:30 (eleven years ago) link

i tried doing this and gave up after listing down 108 tracks :/

Roz, Friday, 8 June 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link

well just vote for every other one

the late great, Friday, 8 June 2012 21:04 (eleven years ago) link
