but i would honestly chalk that up to more songs being available on the service

My top fives have basically been solidified for ages but I'm still pretty vague on placements and even entries below that. And time creeps on.

is Gigi Masin's Talk To The Sea eligible? I see it on the Spotify playlist but not the Pastebin list
― sleeve, Saturday, 9 January 2016 20:36 (eight years ago) link
whoever nominated Roman Flügel's " Black Towers", thank you, it's epic! one of the best things I've heard this year
Talk to the Sea placed last year

on the other hand, listening to 1273 songs to find 5 more to round out my ballot is very me
― ciderpress, Saturday, 9 January 2016 20:38 (eight years ago) link
VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTE!
I did my tracks last weekend and I just did my albums today.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 10 January 2016 15:32 (eight years ago) link
i gave up on listening to all the tracks and just voted with what i had already
― ciderpress, Sunday, 10 January 2016 15:35 (eight years ago) link
^this is why I try to get my tracks nominations in early on years I gaf about tracks
― spiritual hat gaz (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 10 January 2016 19:11 (eight years ago) link
(Though I think a lot of it comes from the sudden influx of decent-to-great songs rendering tasks such as ranking, and even including some into yr ballot while excluding others, into an absurd enterprise)
― spiritual hat gaz (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 10 January 2016 19:20 (eight years ago) link
I listen on shuffle idk

have gained a crucial handful of great albums+trax by listening to the playlists. obv the benefit is not just to one's ballot
― sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Sunday, 10 January 2016 19:23 (eight years ago) link
Yeah Brad said he listened on shuffle too. It's probably the best way

I sorted it by running length one year, from shortest to longest.

there's….an option to do that…..anyway…...
― sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Sunday, 10 January 2016 20:59 (eight years ago) link
Voted! Would also be pleased if Kero Kero Bonito got a placement.
― Mercer Finn, Sunday, 10 January 2016 21:38 (eight years ago) link
Grrrr.... I'm regretting my laziness in making sure some my favorite albums were nominated. I know anything not already nominated would have made it in the top 77, but I still feel weird removing some of my favorite albums of the year from my list.
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Monday, 11 January 2016 01:01 (eight years ago) link
I've given up on nominating weird outliers and am just voting based on the list, didn't participate in the nominations process at all.
― sleeve, Monday, 11 January 2016 02:45 (eight years ago) link
Voted. Was happy to find that most of my top 25 had been nominated (a few by me), except for Dyke Drama and a few metal albums which didn't have a chance anyway.

There is a listing for "Sparky - Numbers" on the tracks list that I think might be faulty. The single is on the label Numbers. I am guessing that the nom is supposed to be for the track "Signals".

how do write-in votes work, do they get ignored? i noticed something didn't get nominated somehow (i guess i should have actually ctrl+F'd for it), it would be in my top 5 if i can write it in

I *tend* to allow write-in votes but it's not guaranteed and if I get a bunch at the last minute I'll probably skip them.
― Vote! In the ILM EOY Poll! (seandalai), Monday, 11 January 2016 23:06 (eight years ago) link
For every item that doesn't match the nominations list, I have to manually check whether it's a spelling mistake, if not find out what it is and decide whether it's eligible for inclusion. If I got more than a small number of write-ins I probably wouldn't bother.
― Vote! In the ILM EOY Poll! (seandalai), Monday, 11 January 2016 23:08 (eight years ago) link
thanks for this alessandro cortini album crut; "Conta" is devouring me from inside out right now. It's like glassier, more monolithic Eno.
― Copy rights, pleasing all star wars fans, hiring professionals. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 11 January 2016 23:22 (eight years ago) link
I'll submit my ballot tonight in that case! :)

I VOTED
let me know if i fucked it up. i had to save the lists locally so i could see them at work, but i saved them to unicode .txt files so hopefully they're not fucked up?
#4 tracks is my sole write-in btw. I included my e-mail in case you have any questions. Thanks for running this!

We're going through the albums playlist
um
the Inverso s/t album that Forks put on the playlist caught our attention. It's pretty cool! But then we looked it up…
The album on the playlist is a 2011 s/t record by INverso.
The album calzino nominated is a 2015 s/t record by InVerso.
The former is pop punk.
The latter is jazz.
Just a heads-up.
― sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 00:42 (eight years ago) link
good catch, I've fixed.

imago, if you're still doing listening, check out the Liberez, MXLX and Helm albums. Should be something you like in some of that stuff.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 13:44 (eight years ago) link
Am still listening!
Saw Helm live a few weeks ago and he was great (also, fairly friendly). The constraints of skim-listening to everything weren't kind to his album when encountered last night, but I will try to return to it, yes!
Not sure I've encountered those others yet...oh wait, MXLX I did hear a while back on Bandcamp, that had some great moments aye
Have you heard the new Joanna Wang? I know you've voted for her in the past...
― sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 14:09 (eight years ago) link
No, not heard yet. I have way more than 25 things in contention already so kind of feel like if I hear something first in '16 it shouldn't make the list, but will have a listen anyway if it's great. (And I have broken that rule in the past, definitely.)
― emil.y, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 14:28 (eight years ago) link
(It's completely amazing and straight in my own top 5 fwiw)

Last-minute plug for some of my noms that are not on Spotify:
Zomes - Networks Album 2: Phase Portraits: algorithmically generated electronic music that became one of my default going-to-bed choices.ADR - Deceptionista: probably described better on the page than I could do but enjoyable Internet sample-based electronic composition
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 January 2016 00:07 (eight years ago) link
Sevish - Rhythm and Xen: microtonal IDM/chiptune stuff
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 January 2016 00:10 (eight years ago) link
All just things that somehow clicked with me; dunno how well they transfer.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 13 January 2016 00:12 (eight years ago) link
Biggest discovery from going through the Spotify playlist is how amazing the Dumblonde album is.
Just finished going through the tracks list yesterday. Made a shortlist of everything I enjoyed. Just got to narrow those 146 songs down to 25 and I'm done. Albums should be a lot easier.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 13 January 2016 00:18 (eight years ago) link
Whoa! RA - Scandinavia is some of the best post-punk of recent years. Utterly incendiary. Really nice nomination, uh….oh it's you, DAM. Whoda thunk etc :D
― sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Wednesday, 13 January 2016 00:57 (eight years ago) link
Sund4r, the ADR album is on Spotify (USA) after all. Glad you mentioned it, I'm also a fan.
― fka styx (paul santa cruz), Wednesday, 13 January 2016 01:52 (eight years ago) link

― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 13 January 2016 02:05 (eight years ago) link
Props go to Fastnbulbous; I found the RA album on his year list on RYM. 'Incendiary' is the word, though; it's a face-melter
