lol I am doing last minute listening to the Death record, eat that poll whitewashers!!!!

that death record is good.

wait a minute just spotted this

Ra'anan, the author of the Demons, Fairies & Wailing Guitars book said he will try to submit a ballot if work/time allows.

had no idea he was an ilxor!

I have no idea what book that is but w/e

w/r/t Death it is good though I think I like Black Dots a little more and I always forget that that was nominated

oh nm its the book linked to upthread, that sounds like a great read

mr money you leaving your ballot to the last min again?

Yes, expect it w/in the next 26 hours

lol

btw I dunno what I will do when XTC - White Music wins the poll.

As former plug.dj stalwart turrican would say c'moooown

I'm pretty sure I nominated Ornette and it was vetoed. Does seem puzzling, (re)listening to the other funk and fusion albums on the list. Ah well.

I cant remember

you would probably have been the only voter anyway ;)

plus don't you have enough problems cutting your list to 100?

done !

i never expected to know/love over 60 of the noms ..

told ya so!

that's why leaving it til friday late is a bit dodgy as ppl will rush a ballot in

Still working on these!
Tracks ballot may be done tonight but albums ballot is likely to take till tomorrow to finish.

have you listened to all the nominated albums you don't know? ;) I think fastnbulbous and sund4r were trying to!

nope .. not listened to anything i dont know.
life is too short and i have kids ...

hence my sub is all the usual mojo friendly suspects

was asking the others as I expected nothing less than you ;)

now, if ever there was a back handed compliment ...

have you listened to all the nominated albums you don't know? ;)
I've been trying to at least give a listen to all the ones that people went to the trouble of highlighting and doing blurbs for - think time is still going to defeat me though.

well I dont think people would like it very much if there was yet another extension..

I think mark e's ballot was the 70th btw

woo hoo ..

i feel honoured (or is that honored .. )

just a shame it was full of the usual suspects and nowt special ..

well I dont think people would like it very much if there was yet another extension..
Nah it's cool, I wouldn't ask you to do that! I will submit both ballots by Fri night one way or another, just want to squeeze a couple more new albums in first.
Speaking of which, self-title Ash Ra Tempel album is sounding pretty good right now.

It is an awesome album

btw has anyone seen the prog twins of mares nest and imago around? If there's no prog in the poll results remember to blame them!

into last 24 hours then..

and imago has voted

Voted. Will do a tracks ballot tomorrow. I invested all my time into albums, though.

seandalai checked in btw. Saw an interim top 200. Exciting! (done before sund4rs ballot) but anyone still left to vote can change things EVEN AT THE TOP. So please as many of you vote as you can. top 20s 30s 100 whatever please vote!

finally voted. my ballot is kinda horseshit; I made it up to 90

my ballot is complete horseshit; i made it up while sober

haha thanks for voting everyone! Keep em coming!

Oh crap, I didn't clock what the date was until just now. I will *try* to sort my ballot but I'm out tonight so may not get it in.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo you must vote!

Okay, I had my albums half done already, am I okay to submit that now and then do a separate submission for tracks if I manage to sort through those in time? I'd rather do it that way than risk getting neither in.

Oh good, I thought I was going to have to bribe you with multiple drinks next time we're at the same show.

That's fine emil.y! Most seem to do it that way and it doesn't cause any extra work for seandalai at all.

Thank you!
