THE 2011 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL™ is open for nominations! (Only one day left to nominate!)

Reposted from the sandbox thread (viewable here):

It's time once again for the annual fun fest that is our EOY music poll. Since there's a good probability we'll be shifting over from the sandbox back to real ILM at some point in either the nominations or voting process, we're starting nominations a few days earlier than we usually do. J0rdan, seandalai and I have discussed it and we're keeping things exactly the same as last year, since last year's poll was such a success. Problem is, I'm having trouble accessing how we did last year's poll because real ILM is down. SO, from the best of my recollection, I think last year's nomination process worked like this:

You can nominate 25 (or fewer) items total. If you nominate 3 albums, you still have room to nominate 22 tracks. If you choose not to use all 25 of your nominations, you can (at your discretion) nominate things by proxy for other people who didn't have enough room under the cap to nominate those things. This happens every year anyway, so I figured I'd go ahead and address it up top.

Nominations will wrap on Thursday, January 5th at 7pm EST (that's midnight for Britishes and 4pm for the US West Coast). Voting will begin the following day and be open for the next two weeks. This nominations period is the time to familiarize yourself with and be introduced to new music, as it lasts a whole month. The voting period is all business. Get in, get out and then forget what all you voted for (we all do).

On your mark, get set... GO

Trax noms spreadsheet: http://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmydPg1ULhKNdDVnRWZPdS1oaHNnX2c4VnRkMGlWT3c#gid=0

I only have 1 nom left and want to nom like 5 things

Rev, what are they? I have a bunch of noms left.

i.e. Most stuff I want to vote for was nominated already but I feel as though I am probably forgetting something we have all missed.

Ok, my last one

(16/25)

If anyone with a spare albums slot would care to nominate Souvaris - Souvaris Souvaris, then that would be lovely. It came out early December, and it's been my best new discovery over the Xmas/New Year period.

Stream: http://souvaris.blogspot.com/2011/12/finally-released-souvaris-souvaris.html

Oh crap, I haven't heard that, but they're my friends. Now I will want to vote for them. I will nominate it for you anyway.

(20/25)

Yay, home town loyalty goes deep - thank you!

It's the final Souvaris album, by the way. They play their last ever gig on Feb 17.

I think I've still got about 10 or more noms left, so I'll bung in these two as well before the deadline:

TRACKS
Viadrina - Better (Arto Mwambe remix)
Manik - White Motif (Shur-i-kan v Milton Jackson remix)

that's two Easy Please Me noms, HIGH FIVE but let's remove one

not sure if these were already nominated as the sandbox site is down now:

albums:
Howe Gelb & the Band of Gypsies - Alegrias

tracks:
Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - Brain Gallop
Low - Nightingale
Bill Callahan - America!
Kurt Vile - Jesus Fever

10/25

for what it's worth here is the google cache of th sandbox thread, it finishes december, 23rd though.

Thanks, it's a start! I didn't poke at the cache long enough to see whether you could get the thread without the "Skipping lots of messages" break.

tracks:
When Saints Go Machine - Church and Law

John Maus -

Which track are you nominating here?

Diddy-Dirty Money - Last Train To Paris *

*Yes, I know it made the 2010 chart, shut up. It came out in UK in January 2011 and certainly "peaked" last year, even on ILX. Far and away my favourite LP of 2011.

I see your point but I don't think we can allow it - the rule on this is pretty clear (it's almost the only hard rule regarding eligibility).

oops, sorry that was supposed to say

John Maus - Copkiller

From memory the following albums have yet to be nominated but apologies if this is not the case:

ALBUMS

BLNRB - Welcome to the Madhouse
Braids - Native Speaker
Various Artists - Ines

TRACKS:

MeShell Ndegeocello - Oysters

ALBUMS:

Obake - s/t

(24/25)

I see your point but I don't think we can allow it - the rule on this is pretty clear
OK can I nominate a bunch of tracks from it instead (if they didn't chart last year)? That wouldn't conflict with your rule.

Yep, that's fine.

Tracks:

Katy Perry - The One That Got Away
Nottee - Don't Waste Your Light on Me
Johan Agebjorn (feat. Fred Ventura and Sally Shapiro) - Alice
Silk Flowers - Band of Color

Albums:

R.E.M. - Collapse Into Now
Yes - Fly from Here
The Bangles - Sweetheart of the Sun
Andy Meecham - Monophonic Volume 1

8/25

The Bangles has been nominated. I know, 'cos I nominated it.

"Ass On The Floor" placed in the 2010 tracks poll (and "Hello Good Morning" and "I Hate That You Love Me" were nominated). songs from Last Train To Paris that peaked on the charts in 2011: "Your Love" (which I would vote for), "Coming Home," "Someone To Love Me."

"sade" is the diddy dirty money track i've been voting for in ballots. obvious stand-out new track on the 2011 mixtape; took on life of its own somewhat in dj sets and mixtapes (one of my favourite moments of the year was when nguzunguzu mixed it into a bounce remix of "cherish the day" at night slugs); the mixtape itself is only on the borderline of my potential ballot so i have to rep for "sade" somehow.

that's cool, i love "Sade" and didn't know people really knew about it at all outside of the LTTP cult

The Raveonettes - Raven in the Grave
The Juan Maclean - Everybody Get Close
The Cute Lepers - Adventure Time
Eilen Jewell - Queen of the Minor Key
Rihanna - Talk That Talk
