review of nominations and VOTING for (very nebulously defined) ELECTRONIC DANCE TRACKS of the 00s

Well anyone who saw what I was nominating wouldn't be that surprised.

I think I have the most middle of the road taste of anyone on ILX.

Yeah, I'm mostly about Homework.

I think I have the most middle of the road taste of anyone on ILX.

idk i voted for 5 your picks and different traxx by a few other artists ::shrug:: voting for really idiosyncratic or perverse stuff is p w/e anyway w/ these things

ok pete tong added greek scramble to the list and fixed three henrik schwarz typos. let him know what else he can do to make your poll experience better.

I guess its too late to pretend that I've been listening to exclusively Underground Quality and FXHE 12's over the last 10 years.

My pipecock credentials are in ruins.

I'm going to go put on my hair shirt and listen to Hieroglyphic Being until my ears bleed.

i don't think your taste is middlebrow! it's just not the same as what i'm going to be voting for.

now validate my taste

I'm just kidding, don't worry about it. Suppose I feel a little self conscious considering how much my taste has changed.

I tried to vote for what I actually liked and played out over the last 5 to 7 years over what I'm listening to now.

I'm sure your list is incredibly tasteful yet approachable Lamp.

v there's a 'sound stream' and 'soundstream' on the spreadsheet, also for the latter the track '"live" goes on' is listed twice (but one without the quotation marks).

Sorry if I'm dumb, but how the hell do you copy & paste the full list from the Google spreadsheet to Word or some other text editor?

Also, the list still includes "Knights of the Jaguar", which came out in 1999.

ctrl+c instead of right-click, worked for me (in Excel)

Yeah, I nommed a Greek house tune by Αλλού, it's a collab between Savvas Ysatis and some other guy, and it's really dope (basically these half-spoken, half sung, kinda sleazy sounding vocals on top of deep and minimalist house beat). I used the Greeks letter because I don't how to translitterate them, the record sleeve has only Greek text. Here's Discogs link to the album, the track is called Όνειρα. Maybe someone here knows how to write it in Western alphabet?

Kind've curious to hear this, Tuomas - is it on YouTube, or could you upload it to YT? Couldn't find it, but my Greek is about as good as you'd expect for someone from NZ.

whoever is responsible for panda bear "bros" in this playlist, i've got your number

Henrik Schwarz - Stop Look And Listen
Rhythm And Sound - Poor People Must Work (Carl Craig Remix)
Martyn - Seventy Four (Redshape Mix)
Panda Bear - Bros
The Field - Kappsta

maarten! MAARTEN

Didn't we already go through a doc and make comments and amendments, has that been lost? I think I flagged a few from the 90s.

i see jaymc nominated this terrible digitalism track

flag them again!

2) any of these are terrible gay homo awful NON-house music and should be removed from ballet for indie-friendliness

― the late great

House music is very rooted in gay culture so I don't think starting the poll by using homo and gay as derogatory terms is adequate.

Error in:

boy 8 - bit

It should read: Boy 8 Bit - Suspense is Killing Me

as a derogatory gay i find 'gay culture' more derogatory than any joke the lovely late great makes. i didn't realize we could flag tracks from the poll, i was just talking about the spotify playlist linked to above, which is mostly great.

Gay.

Idiot.

What? I thought we were joking.

Tedious idiot.

Baited.

Doubled:

Ricardo Villalobos - Easy Lee
Villalobos - Easy Lee

House of House - Rushing to Paradise

Minilogue - The Girl from Botany Bay

just to make things clear

"terrible gay homo awful house music"

^^ is a meme from past dance threads, i think it was something ronan first said which then got picked up by others, cf

awful gay, political deep house music.

from the dj sprinkles thread

no homophobia intended, sorry if anyone not in on the joke was offended

now i am not sure if moka was in on the joke or not but just in case anyone is lurking, some of my best friends are gay

The meme actually came from Chaki's putdown of house music in some unrelated post.

ah yes

passion (sometimes misinterpreted as crankiness) is what makes life worth living. without it you are a sting fan with milquetoast posting style or end up listening to gay, awful, horrible, house music all the time.

I was joking. I suck at textual humor.

50 is too few options btw, I ended up with a 160 song shortlist. Ballot complete and sent.

I just realized I actually nominated the wrong Αλλού track, as I nommed it without listening to the album. The Late Great, can you change my nomination from "Αλλού - Όνειρα" to "Αλλού - Γυμνή Φωτογραφία". Thanks! (Not that I think many people are gonna vote for it, but just to be sure.)

Etc, I don't have a Youtube account, but you can find the track here. (That's the actual track I meant to nominate, not the wrong one.)

T✧✧.ESSENT✧✧✧.M✧✧.7✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧

I don't get the address :S is the first part t.esst.m.7 or tesstm7?

i mean t.essent.m.7 or tessentm7?

that should be "the period essential period mix period 77 at gmail dot com"

Oh now I get why it's bumping it back.

ok sent. hope it gets there.

i see jaymc nominated this terrible digitalism track

Haha, I was actually surprised that it didn't get any blowback earlier.

Thanks Tuomas. I just bought that Αλλού CD..

ok cool, all of the things people have pointed out have been fixed (except removing bros and digitalism)

thanks all for your help

three ballots are in - everyone ranked theirs 1-50, i assume?

Thanks Tuomas. I just bought that Αλλού CD..

Not a bad choice! The tracks are kinda samey (except for two that have a more electro/hip hop flavour), but the vibe is rather unique, and if you like that vibe, the album's consistently good.

Yeah mine are ranked at least the top 20 are the rest were picked more randomly. There's 7 of pattern's votes in mine. 22 in my shortlist.

Αλλού means 'elsewhere'

also ordered this CD

will do my ballot this afternoon, it's so grey and shitty here i fear everything i vote for will have (superpitcher remix) in brackets after it

yo this better not be some more daft punk bullshit

Now that I've posted my awful gay homo house list the rest of you are free to vote for that really real shit.

Nah dog latin send me his already, he's still number 50. Whats the irony of it? I don't get it.

Anyhoo that's it, we're closing at 50. No más ballots.

i think the irony is late was shooting for 50 ballots and by not submitting himself he would have left this on 49. anyway, yay, nice one moka, phew. epic.

I figured the irony was he wasn't going to submit a ballot despite originally being the one who was going to be counting the votes.

maybe a mixture of the two.

i think the 'joke' was that 51 was/is a rather notorious # for ilx because it was threshold for suggest ban so that voting 51x meant that the poll is banned from ilx or w/e

SO MANY JOKES

Uh, I was referencing V's desire for 50 voters. But all that other stuff too, yeah.

It's like rain on your wedding day.

v's beloved childhood pet died when a towering stack of 50 ballots collapsed upon it. the 50th ballot, the one that caused the tragic topple, was vahid's own.

you told me she ran away!!!

meanwhile you were burying her in the backyard

that was cold, mom

true story (mine was not quite as long-haired and also more golden)

I've only just noticed the results are rolling out, would have been good for a link to have appeared here:
