I have no idea how to rank 25 songs

rap is dad (it's a boy!), Friday, 15 January 2016 21:40 (eight years ago) link

you can always cast an unweighted ballot

Oh god, picking the last three or four is turning out to be harder than I thought. I like years where I only have 25 albums I want to rep for, curtailed choice is great.

(Some people will be pleased to know that I let my heart rule over my head and decided to count Jaar's Nymphs as an album.)

emil.y, Friday, 15 January 2016 21:45 (eight years ago) link

finally, voted

I (+1) am doing the final workings-out now - hope it's ok if we just miss midnight GMT...

xxp that pleases me greatly!

xp Are you doing a joint ballot, or an imago ballot and a non-diegetic gf one?

Onto the last run of re-listening to tracks. Thinking about trying out the 'no-crossover' rule between albums and tracks, it's only Angel Haze that really makes me waver on that. And I think they should have a strong showing in albums so, hmmm, yeah, let's see if I can do no crossover.

emil.y, Friday, 15 January 2016 23:29 (eight years ago) link

We'll close about 9am GMT

imago's gf should def vote separately!

I think I might have to sit this one out tbh, finding it hard to envision not passing out when I get in

wins just fb me your favourite song of the year and I'll make you a tiny ballot

oh we're definitely doing separate ballots, so when The Chap make the top 77, don't be alarmed

sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Friday, 15 January 2016 23:46 (eight years ago) link

imago's gf is diegetic iirc!

welltris (crüt), Friday, 15 January 2016 23:48 (eight years ago) link

Allegedly...

tangenttangent, Friday, 15 January 2016 23:50 (eight years ago) link

are you imago's gf

watching yourself lay a prole (wins), Friday, 15 January 2016 23:52 (eight years ago) link

All I can say is that William D Drake is in my ballot

tangenttangent, Friday, 15 January 2016 23:57 (eight years ago) link

There is some crossover (like maybe 1 track) between my albums & tracks, but for the most part the two are completely different stylistically

welltris (crüt), Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:09 (eight years ago) link

Ok sent! Sorry if you'll have to manually correct some stuff.

couldn't face ordering the tracks but done

ogmor, Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:33 (eight years ago) link

OMFG

*NONE* of my extra 10 nominations are on the tracks nominations list

ILM's 2015 End of Year Albums & Tracks Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

^^^all missing

I'm voting for them anyway. Sean, can you please add them to the tracks (and maybe albums) nominations list asap please

sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:37 (eight years ago) link

I'll follow it up. The albums are all there.

did you get my tracks ballot?

flopson, Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:42 (eight years ago) link

Cheers. The Pre New nomination I did later isn't there either I don't think

sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:42 (eight years ago) link

I've added these to my local copy of the nominations:

KEN Mode - Blessed
Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth - Unnamed
PC Worship - My Lens
Thighpaulsandra - Did He Fall?
Beauty Pill - Ann The Word

I'm not going to mess with the online list because I'm really tired and don't want to break anything.

haha ok. if you could chuck The Pre New - Janet vs John (the Outcome) on there too I'd be much obliged, since I am voting for it as things stand

sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:44 (eight years ago) link

Pre New is there

Vote! In the ILM EOY Poll! (seandalai), Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:44 (eight years ago) link

oh it is, sorry

sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:44 (eight years ago) link

@flopson: got both yr ballots

Vote! In the ILM EOY Poll! (seandalai), Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:45 (eight years ago) link

spoiler deflection: i'm not voting for all of the ones you just added. oooooh etc

sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:45 (eight years ago) link

nice, thx seand!

flopson, Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:47 (eight years ago) link

Oh dang, I ended up not voting for the PC Worship album, I might add that track to my ballot maybe. Hang on, let me check which one it is.

emil.y, Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:55 (eight years ago) link

:(

I'm voting for both, presuming the track is My Lens

sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Saturday, 16 January 2016 00:59 (eight years ago) link

...and my ballots are ready!

Will hold off voting for a little bit due to my associate, who's currently wrestling with a Between The Buried And Me song :D still working it out

sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Saturday, 16 January 2016 01:03 (eight years ago) link

Just having a cup of tea and checking my lists before submission, glad I did as I realised I'd missed out one of my own nominations. Sorry PC Worship, you don't make it this time.

emil.y, Saturday, 16 January 2016 01:13 (eight years ago) link

I've missed out like 15 of my nominations haha

Too much overlap between trax and albums maybe - 16/25! idk though; they're my favourites of each, what can I do

My ordered extended ballots number 61 for albums and 55 for tracks btw. I'll be posting them eventually. Is 25 too few? It feels cruel

sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a track (imago), Saturday, 16 January 2016 01:18 (eight years ago) link

voted. way easier to just submit an unweighted ballot for each, kind of feels more right to do that, all the albums/tracks i voted for were favorites at various points of the year

marcos, Saturday, 16 January 2016 01:18 (eight years ago) link

i just voted, a gruesome business indeed.

seb mooczag (NickB), Saturday, 16 January 2016 01:20 (eight years ago) link

Voted.

first timer

rap is dad (it's a boy!), Saturday, 16 January 2016 01:27 (eight years ago) link

Argh, I've done it. I voted. Too late for regrets.

emil.y, Saturday, 16 January 2016 01:44 (eight years ago) link

i voted. 25 tracks is not enough :( i just started knockin em off arbitrarily to finish the ballot. weirdly i was able to do a weighted album ballot this year though without much fretting about it

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 16 January 2016 02:21 (eight years ago) link

i could never go unweighted, my top 10 tracks/top 5 albums is always too on another level of love

flopson, Saturday, 16 January 2016 02:35 (eight years ago) link

Voted! Celebrating by listening to what just missed out.

tangenttangent, Saturday, 16 January 2016 02:39 (eight years ago) link

Voted

I doubt my #1 will place here, but I know what's it's up against:
Southern Motherfuckin' Democratic-Republicans!

Blowout Coombes (President Keyes), Saturday, 16 January 2016 02:42 (eight years ago) link

Voted! Promoted a Dawn Richard song 5 places in the final seconds because I listened to it again thinking it might be disposable, but this had the opposite effect in fact

sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a truck (imago), Saturday, 16 January 2016 02:42 (eight years ago) link

Voted!

Michael F Gill, Saturday, 16 January 2016 04:17 (eight years ago) link
