I realise that it's years until it would happen anyway, but I want to withdraw myself from the electroclash poll, I don't think I'd be able to deliver the desirable level of finesse and sparkle. If anyone else was interested enough to take over I wouldn't mind adding up ballots if they handle images/MCing threads etc

― Bee OK, Friday, 13 March 2015 07:46 (nine years ago) link
well if you sequentially number the 7 that were completed out of order (or without a number at all) seems to me that makes more sense. and is how i have it in the list.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 13 March 2015 16:07 (nine years ago) link
eh I say let's start another. ILM seems very low on chat lately; polls at least present a reason to talk.
Yes, let's get to the next poll!! I can't take anymore Christgau and Kim Gordon bashing, and the epics poll is taking way too long.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 13 March 2015 17:53 (nine years ago) link
I feel like it should be: 2/3 days for noms, 5 to 7 days for listening, then voting starts.

91. Oasis - pollrunner needed for this one
put this one out of our misery imo
― nashwan, Friday, 13 March 2015 18:20 (nine years ago) link
I would take an Oasis poll over nothing, "Columbia" is a jam
― droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 13 March 2015 19:05 (nine years ago) link
that's basically it but that's an easy poll to run
― droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 13 March 2015 19:07 (nine years ago) link
As I've mentioned a couple of times, I (and mookieproof, and van horn street, I think) can begin Yo La Tengo the day school ends. I was hoping one or two people would go first: Radiohead, maybe someone else, too.
― clemenza, Saturday, 14 March 2015 00:16 (nine years ago) link
I can start Yo La Tengo in a month if you guys want! Before that it might be difficult.
― Van Horn Street, Saturday, 14 March 2015 00:18 (nine years ago) link
Actually, since I'm only doing images, a month from now would be fine for me. I could get a bunch of images ready ahead of time and just add text later.
― clemenza, Saturday, 14 March 2015 00:21 (nine years ago) link
ok, i will open The Boo Radleys if no one objects.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 14 March 2015 02:13 (nine years ago) link
Fine w me. Will move you up the list
― Οὖτις, Saturday, 14 March 2015 02:20 (nine years ago) link
can you take me off the list? my work commitments are too much now, there's no way i can commit to running a poll sorry :(
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 14 March 2015 02:49 (nine years ago) link
Veg, that poll is like 2-3 years away.
― Don A Henley And Get Over It (C. Grisso/McCain), Saturday, 14 March 2015 03:28 (nine years ago) link
so what number should i use next?
60 or 63, 65, 66?
― Bee OK, Saturday, 14 March 2015 03:42 (nine years ago) link
yeah, might as well leave electroclash in place for the years' wait too, just in case

Radiohead, maybe someone else, too.
A POLL IN A CAGE ON ANTIBIOTICS - ILM Artist Poll #56 - RADIOHEAD - RESULTS THREAD
― Bee OK, Saturday, 14 March 2015 05:25 (nine years ago) link
Okay, now I remember. If you look on the big list, there's no "finished" beside Radiohead.
So go ahead and do the Boo Radleys, and it sounds like we can do Yo La Tengo late April.
― clemenza, Saturday, 14 March 2015 13:25 (nine years ago) link
The "big list" is old and outdated, dont reference it
― Οὖτις, Saturday, 14 March 2015 13:34 (nine years ago) link
i don't know about that: Somewhere in our hearts, results won't be the same (Spacemen 3 & etc. ballot results - ILM poll #57)

and yeah clemenza, made a mistake there but corrected it in the next post...
― Bee OK, Saturday, 14 March 2015 16:59 (nine years ago) link
would like to know what number, with this new system, i should use for The Boo Radleys?

I don't really get why putting the poll number in the thread title is important, given how arbitrary they are and how things move around.

I'm going to have to bow out of the Hair Metal poll (again). I'm cutting down my ilx usage for the near future, mainly by not posting/reading from work, and really won't have the time to run a poll/do the roll-out. Sorry y'all.
